Before installing XP7 Command View AE on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, set the shell restriction
values for the /etc/security/limits.conf file. Set the shell restrictions for soft and hard settings.
NOTE:
The soft value must be less than or equal to the hard value.
These settings depend on which XP7 Command View AE products you are installing:
• Common Component
