From the knowledgebase...

the problems was that the foxtst or apitst utility was unable to use it from a 
Remote Display manager called from a Server 70. The CAR was closed with the 
following answer: Running these utilities from the I/A remote Display Manager 
is not supported.



a workaround for this issue:



If you want to use apitst, follow these steps:

1. From the Remote Display Manager, open a command prompt.

2. Change to korn shell (d:  à ncenv à sh)

3. Change to the /opt/aim/bin directory.

4. Start another instance of the apimgr process, type: startp /b apimgr

5. Now, you can use apitst from the Remote Display Manager.



If you want to use foxtst, follow these steps:

1. From the Remote Display Manager, open a command prompt.

2. Change to korn shell (d:  à ncenv à sh)

3. Change to the /opt/fox/ais/bin directory.

4. Start another instance of the foxapi process, type: startp /b foxapi

5. Now, you can use foxtst from the Remote Display Manager



The above procedures assume that AIM*API or FoxAPI is running on the Server 70.

Here we are with my Unix hat on trying to get my head around in this Microsoft 
environment so, a couple of pointers might be helpful.
Can someone please explain to me why I have to run /opt/aim/bin/startapi before 
I can run apitst from  a remote desktop session even though all aim api apps 
are already running. They start from boot you see.

Also when I run Start->Programs->AimAT->Api Admin I have to run 
/opt/aim/bin/startapi before I can get access to the LOCAL server BUT don't 
have to do that when trying to access another server on the mesh?!?
Same story with Start->Programs->AimAT->API Historian Data display.

Note: I do log in as user Fox on the Remote Desktop.
