Error in Animation Renderer

[MatthiasSchroll]

Hello,

I'm quite new to xMII and try to create my first animated graphics. Unfortunately the animation renderer throws the following error message:

[ERROR]: Unable to Render Animated Object: sun.awt.X11 GraphicsEnvironment

I'm pretty sure that I've configured the SVG object properly (I use the thermometer template) and that the links are set in the right way, since I followed the step by step introduction "Getting started with dynamic graphics in xMII 11.5" by Abesh Bhattacharjee. I run xMII version 12, but I think the principle is the same, right?

Has anybody seen this error message before?

I would be thankful for any assistence.

Regards, Matthias

Well, it sounds like you're not on a Windows platform, so you'll probably need to use the "headless" setting in the Java VM on the server (you'll need to set java.awt.headless=true). You'll also need to be certain that a window manager is running on the server so that it has a graphics engine that can be used to draw into a memory-based window instead of on a display.

Not exactly sure how to get this setting into a NW-based version of xMII.

Thank you for your quick response. I've forwarded the informations to the persons responsible for the server settings.

Early versions of 12 had some issues with animated object rendering, so make sure you are running the latest service pack release.

We run the latest version: Version 12.0.2 Build(88)

Hello Rick,

setting java.awt.headless=true solved the problem.

Thank you!

Additional information from our SAP-Basis-Team:

start the tool /usr/sap/<SID>/JC01/j2ee/configtool/configtool.sh, set the JAVA-parameter Djava.awt.headless at the server node to true and restart the system.
