Application Server Development License useless for Linux

Through the OTN, one can download 10g Application Server under a development license. However, it is not possible to run the product under Linux without installing Oracle patch 3006854, which can only be obtained through the commercial suport channel - metaLink.
Is the OTN process broken here? How can Linux-based developers obtain what they need through their OTN account?
On the other hand, is it Oracle's intent to only make Application Server available to Linux-based developers with commercial support contracts?

First off, the list price of the standard edition is only $10k per CPU
Second, nobody pays list price for Oracle software, there is always room for negotiation. How big a discount you're going to get is going to depend on your ability to negotiate and what pressure your sales rep is under. Realistically, if you're plausibly considering other application servers and your sales rep is having difficulty making his quota in this economy, you probably have a decent amount of leverage.
I would strongly suspect that if you're looking to purchase 6 figures worth of software for your production environment (i.e. 4 processors @ $25k/processor for the enterprise edition) that you can probably negotiate with the sales rep to get licenses for the developers' laptops at a drastically reduced price if not for free.

  • Weblogic Application Server Development License Options

    Would like to understand what is the cost effective way to procure development license of Weblogic App Server?
    Requirement: Want to use WL App Server for Development Purpose. Ideally would like to install in the Developer Machine - primarily aimed at improving productivity. Eclipse with Weblogic Pluggin can enable Start/Stop/Deploy options directly from the IDE.
    Checked up with Oracle Sales to findout the cost of each installment in a developer PC would cost a whopping 12K USD. TCO will go considerably high based on this kind of license policy. Hence would like to understand how organizations are managing this high cost of Development License of WL App Server?

  • Where can I get iPlanet Directory Server 4.1.3 for Linux

    Hello everyone,
    we are developing IMPS solution. but we need to support legacy system. How can we get a iPlanet Directory Server 4.1.3 for Linux for evaluation?
    Many thanks
    Billiken Xie

    Why you want to have NDS 4.11? Any version of the NDS 4.1x will support Solaris 2.6 and 8. This version is nolonger available in iplanet's site. I suggest you to get NDS 4.13 or later version. At iplanet's web site, you will find the latest version, 4.16. Also, you will find 4.13 from Solaris 8's CD ording from Sun's reseller.

  • Crystal Report Server XI R2 SP2 for Linux??

    Post Author: plambrechtsen
    CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
    HelloTrying to get Crystal Report Server XI R2 on Linux working, I have downloaded the latest eval version that I could find aka "crsxir2linuxdisc1.tar.gz" and  "crsxir2linuxdisc2.tar.gz" and plugged in the XI R2 Eval Code.In theory I should be able to use my Crystal XI license code to license R2... but the Server does not accept the XI license code.Is it just me or is Crystal Server Patching REALLY confusing or what.... There doesn't seem to be a clear place to download anything later than the XI R2 shipping code for Crystal Server either for Windows or for Linux.  The latest version of Developer is easy to find.... what about Crystal Server?

    Answered my own question.  Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
    1.  Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
    2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI.  Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server).  This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
    3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
    4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
    5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties.  Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version.  Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource.  Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database.  Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
    6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
    7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
    8.  Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
    This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

  • Application Server 8.2 on RedHat Linux configuration problem

    Hello,
    We have OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4),
    sun java 1.5.0,
    Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 (build b06-fcs),
    cpu : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.40GHz,
    ram : MemTotal: 2073848 kB,
    hdd : 2x SATA hdd 36Gb,
    NIC : 2x 1Gb/s LAN.
    We have problem with standart Sun Application Server Configuration on Linux.
    Even AdminGui application doesn't work properly.
    Some times, AdminGui application returns
    Unabled to handle pre-compiled JSP '/jsp/LogDetail.jsp'. Expected pre-compiled classname: 'org.apache.jsp.jsp.LogDetail_jsp'.
    Some time on browser we have "The page can not be displayed" exception and so on.
    We deployed our JSF web application on this server and have same problems with our web application. In my opinion it looks like Linux or Sun Application Server misconfiguration, but I don' t know Idea where to look.
    Help me please.

    As you already noticed, RH Linux 8.0 and 9.0 are not on the list of officially supported platforms for Application Server 8.1, but you should still be able to install and run on those Linux versions without major issues.
    Follow generic Linux installation instructions, if you do run into some problems take a look at this article which describes some common workarounds, specifically section titled "Problem: My Linux distribution is not on the list of officially supported platforms for J2EE 1.4 SDK":

  • Sun Java System Application Server Standard stops responding for no reason

    Dear Sun Users and Support.
    We ran into an issue that we can't find any cause for. For some reason our Sun Java System Application Server 8.2 Standard stops responding to HTTP calls. Even Admin console can't be invoked. The server by itself appears to be running according to the Windows Services window.
    It happens very rarely but once it happens the server needs to be restarted.
    There are no logs in the log files.
    This happens to multiple Sun Servers at the same time (As if some kind of timer shuts them off).
    The servers run on Windows Server 2003.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    These servers are in the production environment and have expected uptime of 99.9%.
    Thank you.

    This has happened to us a couple of times and it was caused by Windows running out of TCP/IP connections. Next time it happens do a "netstat -an" to see if you have an extremely large amount of connections in time-wait state.
    If you do this is probably the culprit and I'm sorry to say that I don't know of a cure. From what I've heard (objection your honour, hearsay!) this is caused by bugs in Windows TCP/IP stack.
    If you require a 99.9% uptime you should perhaps consider switching to Linux or Unix. I know, easier said than done!
    Hope this helps,
    Gunnar

  • Installing Application Server 10g 2 on Unbreakable linux

    Hello all,
    I wish to install Application Server 10g 2 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux EL5. Could someone please let me know if there are installation instructions for the App Server on EL5?
    Also, when I go to [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html] to download release 2 for Linux x86, the tooltip has the file named as "as_linux_x86_portal_wireless_101202_disk1.cpio". Does anyone know if this is actually the App Server???
    Last, but not least, I downloaded disk 1(I'm assuming it's the correct software) and tried to "unzip" it in /home/oracle to run the Universal Installer and Oracle Unbreakable Linux doesn't recognize the file extension .cpio. So my last question then would be is Oracle Unbreakable Linux even a suitable version of Linux to install the App Server on? Because it seems strange that the software Oracle has on its website can't even be opened on their own flavor of Linux.
    Any help answering my questions will be appreciated.
    -Thank You,
    David Wrbelis

    Hi,
    I did just a while ago.
    If you got a joice, use Unbreakable Linux 4 (RHEL4), 10g2 on Unbreakable Linux version 5 is not officially supported by Oracle!
    At least my Server was complaining about the system. After extracting the .cpio you can either use
    ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
    or go to redhat-release file (I'm not sure in the moment, I believe its /etc/redhat-release) and set it to version 4 instead of 5 until installation is done.
    You will get an error during installation, when it appears rename libXtst.so.6.0.0 to libXtst.so.6.0 and press retry, the installation will finish successfully.
    You might get an error that opmn could not start. Start it manually, the error won't appear, you can ignore it (press continue).
    Your config wizards should ALL be successful!
    About the file you downloaded, I was using a different one, since I only needed Forms and Reports service, you might want to have the full Server, so there are more than one correct downloads for 10g2. You need to look carefully what features you need or load full version (which would be several cds I believe).

  • Use XML files stored in directory of Application server as a input for XI ?

    I have a scenario that there is a xml file stored in sap application server for example /inf/ERQ/XML/XXX.xml which i want to use it as an input for XI. I know that there is an adapter in XI for getting xml file stored in normal path but in my situation it's in application server of SAP so i don't know how to do this.
    Any solution or example for this? Thank you in advance.
    Best regards

    Hi,
    We can read this file through FILE adapter with FTP protocol, before that i think need permission from basis for access.  Configure source(according to xml format) and target structure according to your requirement.  But one thing should remember in XI/PI sour/target XML formats should contain Message type name & namespace name else it can't work.

    Can anyone please guide me to the correct solution?
    I have a project and i dont know whether i am stepping right?

    If this is the case, then how can i point my browser to the server is it by the context root only?
    Your quick reply is really appreciated.
