Windows NT or UNIX OS ???

Hi,
I want to know if you have a suggestion wich of the OS above has the best performance for an Oracle Database. I've heard that a Windows NT OS has a few disadvantages. Is this correct?

File(windows)---- xi ---- file(unix)

Hi All,
Our scenario is FILE(windows)-> XI -> FILE(unix).
Our System is configured on J2SE and we have configured a local adapter engine for this.
We have 3 folders at Source End say Source, OK and NOT OK.
Our requirment is to move file to OK if the file transfer is sucess else the file should move to NOT OK.
File Transfer may be failed due to System crash, receiver down etc.
We are trying on BPM but we are not sure about the Filename which is must and should be same at both the ends i.e. Source and Target.
( We have tried FTP XI FTP, with delete and archive mode. In delete mode even though the receiver is down file is getting deleted at Source End and in MONI we can see a sucess message, Archive is not working properly giving Exception "com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Operation not complete" in our Company Server may be a Support pack issue).
We are looking for Ideas to implement this scenario.
Thanks,
Nagraju

This seems to be pretty good scenario...
You are 100% right that simple usage of delete and archive modes shall not meet your criteria.
I cannot give you a solution but an idea in which angle you can think on...
You must handle file acknowledgements and develop a module accordingly and use it to do so.
I shall also try to work on this and let you know if any.
Thanks

Hi.
It's possible many solution.
1. Setup Ftp server on Windows and use general scripts.

Identity Management for UNIX (aka Windows Services for Unix) Adding 2012 DC to a prep'd 2003 domain.

We have been successfully using Windows Services for Unix on a 2003 domain for passwd and group maps.
I prep'd the domain to allow a 2012 R2 server to be added and then added the IdMU role/feature on this new 2012R2 DC. Now the passwd map is still OK but the group map now shows full usernames rather than short names.
i.e. what DID show with "ypcat group" as ...
"infra-shared::65550:gfer,jhug,shig", now shows as
"infra-shared::65550:Garry Ferguson,Jason Hughes,Steve Higgins"
and so is not usable. I have had to revert to local /etc/group files on all our unix machines!!
Help/comments would be really appreciated!

Hi Gaz Ferg,
SFU 3.5 is used to installed on windows 2003 and windows XP. SFU 3.5 cannot used on Windows 2012, that makes customer cannot user NFS and user name Mapping services on Windows
2012. From windows 2003 R2, NFS is a build-in component in OS, we need to add Roles/Features to use NFS.
1. What is change in 2012R2
IDMU component, which was used to authenticate Linux users has been removed. Now a Windows server cannot play role of NIS Master server.
Passwords cannot sync to the Unix Machines. Maps can not sync between Windows and Unix computers.
2. What has not change in 2012R2
Following methods to authenticate and map a Unix user to Window user are available:-
Active Directory
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
Username Mapping Protocol store (MS-UNMP
Local passwd and group files
Unmapped UNIX Username Access (UUUA) (applies to Server for NFS using AUTH_SYS only)

Importing from Windows - Exporting to Unix

Hello Guys,
I have this situation where the initial developement was done on a Windows box, but then the staging and production environments have been set up on unix servers.
Q1: Is it possible to migrate the mappings created on Dev (windows) effectively to unix without needing re-work?
Q2: What is the approach to go about this migration, if any?
Q3: Do the OWB versions matter while import/export?
Has anyone been through this problem before?
Any help will be appreciated... Just give me your piece of mind on this...!!

Hi ,
You can do the following to export OWB metadata into mdl file .
1. Login to OWB Client
2. Goto Design
3. Export
4. Warehouse Builder Metadata
You can specify the file location details .
In order to Import OWB metadata from mdl file
1. Login to OWB Client
2. Goto Design
3. Import
4. Warehouse Builder Metadata
It will ask for the mdl file location details
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Windows or Linux/Unix

We are having issues with Discoverer Portlets not wanting to refresh, sessions hanging etc, my IT manager wanted me to ask the Forum on what platform are you running appserver? Windows or Linux/Unix....We are ready to upgrade to 11G and are thinking about changing the platform we run the appserver on. Thanks so much for your input!!!

Raoul,
To migrate to Linux seems to me the obvious choice then, because:
(1) Migrating to Linux is cheaper than migrating to Windows, since you will need
the Microsoft Advanced Server ($$$)
(2) Less migration headache with moving from UNIX (Solaris, I presume?) to Linux
than to Windows, considering those UNIX system calls
So you'll probably have less costs and less migration work to do when moving to
Linux.

intresst to to do some research in the possibilities in going from a
verry expencive
unix installation to a "intel blade" Solution.
As i can see it gives them two serious possibilites
1. Convert (rebuild) their apps to a Windows based platform
2. Convert (rebuild) their apps to a Linux based platform.
The apps are in some extent using system calls, and built in PRO#C.
I know theres a Solaris on Intel as well, but i think theres to mutch

What i would like to know is if there are annyone of you out there, that

Problem in reading the excel file path in WINDOWs machine from UNIX environ

Hello friends,
My requirement is to read each row of the excel sheet and sent that row to the database. I have implemented it by using jxl and apache poi framework. locally in my WINDOWS machine it is working fine..
But when i deploy the code in UNIX machine. My application runs on a Unix server , trying to read the excel file in WINDOWS environment. I am not able to retrieve the file path. for ex : C:\Documents and Settings\sabbanik\My Documents\KARUNAKAR\excel.xls
I am getting error in this line
workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath)
Error message : input file not found.
Thanks in advance..

You said: I am getting error in this line workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(filepath) >
Based on this, I will assume you are trying to use OLE to access information about the Excel file. As mentioned by Andreas, your code will be executing on the server (Unix) and since Excel isn't on the server (and cannot be) an error will result. OLE can only be used in Windows environments (client or server). To access client side OLE calls and content, you need a java bean and Excel installed on the client machine. Oracle provides WebUtil as an option to writing your own Java Bean. To use this, you will need to be running Forms 10.1.2 or newer. Details can be found here along with a demo:

File names in Windows NT and UNIX

I have an application I made using Java 1.1.8 for AIX 4.2.1 ( IBMs UNIX). I develope on Windows NT using JDeveloper ( from Oracle). My problem is that I need to access files in my code. My code will run both on Windows and Unix, but the file directories are different. How can I access the same NAME of a file , which is in different directories on different Platforms. On the NT machine the file would be
c:\\temp\someFile.txt, but on my Unix machine it would be /users/xxx/test/someFile.txt.
Are there any ENVIRONMENTAL variables I can use?

Look at the documentation for system properties: [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()]http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#getProperties()

Migrating DB from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (Unix)

I wish to migrate a SQL Server 2000 database on a Windows environment to an Oracle database on a Unix environment.
Are there any issues with using the Oracle Migration Workbench to migrate a SQL Server database to Oracle between different operating systems?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
After trying to migrate only a copule of schemas from sqlserver, my solution appeared by itself. It seems that something goes wrong if you migrate only selected users, so I build up a test instance in windows, made the workbench repository on it, and ran a full migration from all the users to this test environment.
After this it was nice, cause I made an exp from the squema I wanted and imported it on production environment.
PD: Migration logs only raised java related problems. I got quite crazy realizing what jdbc version I had, but it wasn't the problem.
By the way, if you try to run sqlloader scripts, be careful with language issues, cause I had to reverse data loading because incorrect typos or so.
Thanks a lot for your help.

XSLT Windows v's Unix issue

Hi
I having a problem processing XSLT on unix at the moment, it works fine on windows but when I try process the same file on Unix I keep getting the same error. I'm wondering does anyone know is there a difference between the two operating systems that maay cause this problem....if so have you any solutions
Most current operating systems have an XSLT processor installed. For example, Windows XP comes with the MSXML3 library, which includes an XSLT processor. Earlier versions may be upgraded and there are many alternatives, see the External Links section.
Seems like JMeter is generating some dodgy XML, but not sure why that wouldn't fail on Windows also
JMeter uses an XSLT file, jmeter-detail-report.xsl to transform the JMeter JTL output into a nicely formatted html table of results.
The version of the file which I run with ant-jmeter (as a task in build.xml) runs well on Windows but fails on Unix with the following exception:
[xslt] Processing /export/home/sfuser/sola/JMeter/JMeterResults.jtl to /export/home/sfuser/sola/JMeter/JMeterResults_detail.html
[xslt] Loading stylesheet /export/home/sfuser/sola/JMeter/jmeter-results-detail-report.xsl
[xslt] : Error! Content is not allowed in prolog.
[xslt] : Error! com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.utils.WrappedRuntimeException: Content is not allowed in prolog.
[xslt] Failed to process /export/home/sfuser/sola/JMeter/JMeterResults.jtl

I tried removing spaces, changed the xml prolog in the xsl file, etc but it still doesn�t work.
Could you suggest what I can do to fix the problem?
cheers

Please test the $java_home env variable. Is both the links env points to the same version of jdk?

Is it posible to save windows-txt as UNIX-txt?

I want to be able to save a text file i have produced in a Window environment, as a UNIX text file. Has anyone done this and can help? As I understand, UNIX and Windows use different end-of-line and end-of-file characters.
Regards Jens

The line separator for UNIX is \n, and for Windows it is '\r\n' (or \n\r, not sure, and don't care).
If you have a '\n' character in a string and you write that string to a file, the character will still be a '\n' regardless of the platform. The only time that java inserts the proper line terminator for the platform is when you use the println methods of the PrintWriter and PrintStream classes. All you have to do is avoid those methods, and explicitly print '\n' at the end of all of your lines.

Objects to be transported from Windows platform to Unix platform

Hi experts
Our current development is on windows platform. and the production server will be on HP Unix platform.
I just wanted to know that is it possible to transport the webdynpro application and the portal contents.
Also wanted to know what all components need modification while transport.
Guide me the steps for the move.
regards
vija

Usually you shouldn´t have any issues transporting. Java bytecode is platform independent.
What CAN be an issue is the different endianess if you program yourself and assume, that the byte order is little endian - but if you stay on the webdynpro level you shouldn´t have any problems.

IDOC to File Port on Windows Server from Unix SAP System

Hi All:
I want to use an IDOC to create a text file on a Windows server. The SAP system runs on Unix. I have no problem creating the text file on the same Unix server running the SAP instance but I can not figure out how to write the file to a share or UNC path on a Windows server. I tried to create a logical file path using transaction FILE and then create a logical port in WE21. The IDOC failed because it is still looking on the Unix server to write the file. Any ideas from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm, there are probably lots of ways to skin this cat.
To make the process asynchronous you probably want to be along the lines of either updating a table or placing a file on the Windows machine, and then having a database process or Windows program to watch for the file or database table entry and triggering your bat file when it appears.
