Cognos Configuration AIX issue

[glaubao]

Hi,

I just installed Cognos 10.2 on AIX 64, but when I try to run the Cognos Configuration, i get the following issue:
./cogconfig.sh
Using /usr/java6_64/jre/bin/java
22/11/2012,13:23:26,Err,java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError, com.cognos.crconfig.CRConfigFrame.<init>(CRConfigFrame.java:111)com.cognos.crconfig.CRConfigFrame.<clinit>(CRConfigFrame.java:2855)
22/11/2012,13:23:26,Err,java.awt.HeadlessException:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it., com.cognos.crconfig.CRConfigFrame.<init>(CRConfigFrame.java:111)com.cognos.crconfig.CRConfigFrame.<clinit>(CRConfigFrame.java:2855)


Any idea? Already check the PATH and looks ok

It sounds very much like you don't have X11 installed on your AIX server. You can configure Cognos 10 without X11 - see here for details:

I am running 10.1.1 still on AIX 64 and yup I can verify that is the exact error I get when I don't have my Xwin client up when trying to run the Config or Logviewer apps.

Though for me X11 is installed on the server but since I am running Putty to connect I need Putty to launch the Xwindows so I use Cygwin.
