Problems running Catia in administrator mode V5

[confusedadmin]

Running Catia v5 sp4 on HPUX 11.0.

I can't seem to start Catia in administrator mode. (I want to lock some environment settings globablly).

1. I have CATReferenceSettingPath set.
2. The directory it points to does exist.
3. I am logged in as root.
4. I start Catia with #catstart -run CNEXT -admin
a. First off, I don't get the message that Catia
has been started in admin mode. Shouldn't I?
b. If I go to Tools/Options, the little "lock" icon
shows up next to everything, however, it is
grayed out. I need to be able to pick these
to globablly set option.

What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

Hello,

here is my v5_admin start script for AIX perhaps you can use it:

export CNEXTOUTPUT=CONSOLE
export CNEXTSPLASHSCREEN=NO
export CNEXTBACKGROUND=NO
export CATNoStartDocument=YES
cd /usr/DassaultSystemes/B12/aix_a/code/bin
CNEXT -env /home/catocw/v5/CATEnv/CATIA.V5R12.B12 -admin

Thanks .... that was enough to lead me down the right path ...

If anyone else is ever interested, here's what I had to do
1. Set LIBPATH, SHLIB_PATH variables to <loadpoint>/hpux_b/code/bin
2. I set the _HP_DLDOPTS variable too .. not entirely sure if I really had to do that or not. Check out the catstart script (under command/code/bin?) for the value, I won't repeat it here. I think this is just an HP variable.
3. Start Catia in admin mode by using #CNEXT, NOT #catstart -run CNEXT.

<loadpoint>/hpux_b/code/bin/CNEXT -direnv <direnv> -env <env> -admin

Not sure why it won't start using catstart -run CNEXT (other than the fact that the -admin flag ISN'T LISTED in the catstart script. It would be nice if the documentation spelled this out, rather than me having to go on a wild goose chase. I can't even remember now why I needed to run in administrator mode now ...

Ah well, there's my little rant for the day. Again, thanks for your help.
