launched. If a connection is not made in this time,
TotalView times out.
A Base timeout value can range from 1 to 3600 seconds
(1 hour). The incremental Plus value is from 1 to 360
seconds (6 minutes). See the online Help for information
on setting these values.
CLI: dset TV::bulk_launch_base_timeout
If you notice that TotalView fails to launch tvdsvr (as
shown in the xterm window from which you started
TotalView) before the timeout expires, select Yes in the
Question Dialog Box that appears.
Defaults If you make a mistake or decide you want to go back to
TotalView’s default settings, click the Defaults button.
Clicking Defaults also throws away any changes you
made using a CLI variable. TotalView doesn’t immediately
change settings after you click the Defaults button;
instead, it waits until you click the OK button.
Starting the TotalView Server
Manually
If TotalView can’t automatically launch tvdsvr, you can start it manually.
You cannot debug remote processes using TotalView Individual.
If you use a “hostname:portnumber” qualifier when opening a remote process,
TotalView does not launch a debugger server.
Here are the steps for manually starting tvdsvr:
1 Make sure that both bulk launch and single server launch are disabled. To
disable bulk launch, click the Bulk Launch Tab in the File > Preferences
Dialog Box. (You can select this command from the Root Window or the
Process Window.) The dialog box shown on the next page appears.
2 Clear the Enable debug server bulk launch check box in the Bulk Launch
Tab to disable autolaunching and then select OK.
CLI: dset TV::bulk_launch_enabled
dset TV::bulk_launch_incr_timeout
