HELP! HELP!! HELP!!!
The MFG/Pro (PROGESS version 7) runs perfectly under OS HP-UX 10.02.
After we upgrade the OS to 11.0, the MFG/Pro fails to be run from terminal client connection. Instead, it is ok for the console login.
Here we found that the there is no problem of the MFG/Pro with device files used in OS HP-UX 10.02 is under /dev/tty's, while the problem exists in HP-UX 11.0 with device file changed to /dev/pts's. It seems MFG/Pro cannot the output to /dev/pts's, but only output to /dev/tty's.
We have consulted HP in the view of OS level, the reply is the device file: /dev/pts's cannot be modifed to do the /dev/tty's under 11.x. The operation of the device file: /dev/pts's is an intrinsic part of Telnet in OS 11.x architecture and cannot be changed. And, we got a advice we should modify the MFG/Pro application to obtain the tels device from the tty(1) command and then output to that device, or simple read() and write() to "/dev/tty" as this will pick up the relevant /dev/pts/t* device on 11.x.
Can anybody here adivce how/where the application, MFG/pro opening the device? and what we can do/change on the MFG/Pro application so that it can write the /dev/pts's on HP-UX 11x???
THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
peace.
