Kondor and XvFB
We need to develop small
scripts for Kondor – Finastra
Risk Trading Application.
Program use a binary called DealManager
We must run
this binary in the script but this binary requires
an X-server absolutely.
Therefore we had to install XvFB – X Virtual Frame Buffer
Tricky part
with XvFB is below. If it does
not start, you may need to
make mkfontdir for problematic
fonts it gave error message.
· Similar XvFB requirement also occured at IBM IIB mqsicreatebar tool
