CI build on Solaris server

Hi
I have very little understanding of *nix servers.
we're trying to add FlexUnit on the CI build on the Solaris servers. The network admin's are telling me that the vncserver approach listed on the wiki won't work on Solaris.
Can anyone suggest a similar technology / approach that is suitable for Solaris?
Regards,
Marty

You should be able to use xvfb.

Advise Requested - Building a Home Server using Solaris 10

I'm currently a Wintel sysadmin, and I'm relatively new to Unix. I know the basics, and I have been reading up on it. I'll be taking a the 200 level Sun class in August or September. I'll be working with Solaris on an increased basis at work very soon. Since I've been thinking of building a home server for some time I thought it would be a good opportunity (and challenge) to teach myself Solaris by building a server with Solaris 10 for Intel processors.
I would like to setup a server with a RAID mirror. It's mostly going to be a Samba file server, Apache web server, and backup server for all of my home Windows Vista PCs. I'll likely put in two 1 terabite HDDs in it. I might also use it as a VPN server for my home network eventually as a I learn more.
Does anyone have suggestions they could give me on hardware? I prefer to build an ATX compliant clone.
So far this is the motherboard I'm considering:

ANY ADVISE would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Change your SSH port to something other than 22! Make sure your ssh keys use passphrases. You can setup keychain (ssh-agent) on the server and clients to keep keys in memory if you desire without constantly retyping (and for automated backups).

How to execute a .cmd file in Solaris server

Hi all , How to execute a .cmd file in Solaris server.
Thanks.

Basically you should have the execution flag associated to this cmd file. Check first if this file is builded for Solaris and then you can add the "x" flag to the file permissions.
You can too run it like this, but you should also check if this file is Solaris compatible : # sh <path/cmd file>

Make File for C,Pro*C, Files in Solaris Server

HI,
I would like to know how to write a Make File for C,Pro*C Files in Sun Solaris Server.
Thanks,
Vijaya.

The man page for make
% man make
has a brief description of using make.
The Programming Utilities Guide has a more detailed description:
[http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/805-4035/6j3r2rqnc?a=view]
For a tutorial, you can get the O'Reilly book "Managing Projects with make"
[http://www.amazon.com/Managing-Projects-make-Andrew-Oram/dp/0937175900/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222458409&sr=1-2]
[http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Managing-Projects-with-Make/Steve-Talbott/e/9780937175187/?itm=5]
O'Reilly publishes a similar book specifically for the Gnu version of make, "Managing Projects with make", available from the usual sources.
Sun Studio comes with dmake, which has extensions that allow distributing a project build over multiple computers, and running multiple steps in parallel on the same computer. The manual for it is here:
[http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5273/aexaz?l=en&q=dmake+doc&a=browse]
Pro*C is not a Sun product. It is from Oracle, and you should ask Oracle for advice on using it.

How to find out the info regarding Solaris, server hang or shutdown.

Hi
As I am handling the Solaris 9 Server remotely.
As in last week the server has stopped to respond suddenly, we have tried to ping, ssh which was not working. As ultimately we have asked the Data Centre Team to hard reboot the same, to resolve the issue.
In the same ref I would like to know how we come to know the reason, what caused to reboot the same, i.e . any log file, etc..
I have check /var/adm/messages, but not found any detail for the same.
Thanks

No core files?
No hope for an answer.
As you learned in the other Internet forum.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/solaris-opensolaris-20/how-to-find-out-the-info-regarding-solaris-server-hang-or-shutdown.-621500/
To get such corefiles analyzed,
you would need to use your service contract and log a support case with Sun.
They have the special software tools to do that.

I have updated the class path. But what do i have to do in jvm.
Any way there is one more solution which worked.
Step 1 . Install Oracle Forms 10.1.2.0.2
Step 2. Copy jacob.jar in java home
Step 3. Copy jacob.dll into webutil directory in forms directory.
Thats it.

Problems Building on Solaris

Hi,
I've been trying to evaluate BDB XML 2.3.8 for use on a new project for the last couple of days. I was able to build on Windows with no trouble but have been having trouble getting a working build on Solaris.
By any chance is there a binary build available? All I'm trying to do is get the necessary libraries so that I can include them with a Java program.
Anyhow, here are the problems I'm having getting it to build. I'd greatly appreciate any help that can be offered.
$ uname -a
SunOS kftcsu03 5.8 Generic_117350-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R
I built using the following command:
$./buildall.sh -c cc -x CC --enable-java
The build appeared to work. However, when I try to execute the generated dbxml file:
$ ./dbxml
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
I then tried to execute the Java example (dbxml.gettingStarted.exampleLoadContainer):
Which produced the following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /data/PRCDEVEL/NGES/users/emr39/dbxml-2.3.8/install/lib/libdbxml_java-2.3.so: ld.so.1: java: fatal: relocation error: file /data/PRCDEVEL/NGES/users/emr39/dbxml-2.3.8/install/lib/libdbxml_java-2.3.so: symbol __1cFDbXmlQDbXmlFuncFactory4n0AQMetaDataFunction__G__vtbl_: referenced symbol not found

George,
Is there a better way to tell the version? Based on the path I'd say v6.2
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which cc
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/cc
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which CC
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/CC
Our sysadmins have a bunch of the GNU tools installed in /tools/GNU/bin, to get the build to run to completion I had to create a symlink to the make that was in there and then ensure the symlink was in my path first so that version of make was used.
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which cc
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/cc
[emr39@kftcsu03 bin]$ which CC
/tools/fortedev/v6.2/SUNWspro/bin/CC
Here's what I managed to get from the core file generated when I ran dbxml. I used dbx to get this stacktrace.

Repoint Audit database in BO XI 3.1 SP3 running on Solaris Server

Hi,
We need to repoint to new Audit database in Solaris server which is running BO XI 3.1 SP3 .What steps we need to follow to do that? Do we require root privileges for that?
Really appreciate your the help
Regards,
Anshuman

Hi,
you can repoint the Audit DB but you cant move the content of the Audit DB with BO functions. If you want to move the content aswell you have to use DB functions for that. The process would look like:
1. Create the new DB
2. Create the connection to the new DB on the BOE Host
3. Run cmsdbsetup.sh to point the Audit DB to the new DB
4. Import the Audit Universe and configure the Universe connection to point to the new DB

Hyperlink to Document on Solaris Server

Hi All,
I would like to create a hyperlink to a PDF document physically located on a Solaris Server, in the text that appears in the email notification that is delivered to an SAP user's outlook inbox. The text is the task description of a step of the workflow. I know the method where you use transaction SO72 to create hypertext text modules and then use these in the task descritpion. But I would like the hyperlink to go to a document in a specific path on the Solaris server.
Is this the correct method to use? If it is, then what's left to do? If it is not, please specify the method I need to use.
Regards,
Darlington

Hello All,
I am still in need of assistance on this one, guys. Any contribution will be most appreciated.

Lightning 1.0 build for the Thunderbird 3b4 build for Solaris 10?

I use Thunderbird as my primary email client because quite frankly the version of Evolution in Solaris 10 is awful.
I posted to the mozilla.support.calendar list over in google groups some months ago asking what happened to the Solaris builds of Lightning
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.calendar/browse_thread/thread/12e27450b2cc67e0/7877dde2ace2ebf2
Essentially they said Sun used to provide servers to build Lightning on and now they don't. What does it take to get Sun to provide those again?
Evolution 1.46 is atrocious. 1999 called and wants there email client back....
The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. 0.9 still works with Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird 3 while still in beta is already so much better than Thunderbird 2, but it requires Lightning 1.0 builds. You can download Sun contributed builds of Thunderbird and Firefox from the mozilla releases site. Why not build recent Lightning builds so people can actually use their Sun calendar with the Sun contributed version of Thunderbird?

http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/calendar/
A similar question was asked w.r.t. 64-bit Linux builds:
"Dan, regarding 64bit nightlys, this is somewhat dependant on Thunderbird itself having 64 bit nightlys. We will surely have contrib builds with 64 bits for releases though."
The latest build for Solaris is Lightning 0.9. Of course the project itself has moved on to 1.0+. The project has not hit 1.0 release (or beta) yet.

Creating a new Essbase Cluster on the same Solaris server

Hi All,
I have two servers:
Server1: Foundation services, APS, EAS
Server2: Essbase Server, Essbase Studio Server on epminstance_1
Due to business requirements I need to "rename" the Essbase cluster from "EssbaseCluster-1" to something else.. I know this is not possible and from the below document I understand that I need to create a new instance on Server2 and configure Essbase and Essbase Studio on it.
"How to Rename Essbase Cluster (Doc ID 1434439.1)"
Goal: In EPM System Release 11.1.2.x, is it possible to rename the Essbase instance and cluster names after they are configured?
Solution: No, it is not possible to rename the Essbase cluster or instance names after the initial configuration. If you need to change the instance and cluster names, create new instance and cluster. Export the applications from the old cluster and import them into the new cluster.
My doubt lies with configuring the 2nd Essbase server as I am not clear how a single environment with two Essbase standalone instances on the same physical Solaris server, with each belonging to their own cluster will behave. I know that they are independent clusters and the concept of active/passive and active/active clusters are for Essbase instances part of the same cluster.
I plan to create a new epminstance_2 instance on Server2 and configure the 2nd Essbase server as follows: give it a *new* cluster name and not assign it to the existing Essbase cluster and deploy it in standalone mode.
1. Now I plan to use the 1st instance only as a backup option.. In an event where for some reason the new instance were to fail I would start up the services on the older essbase instance. Is this possible without any additional configuration or changes to OPMN?
2. Alternatively, say we want to remove the older instance. Kindly suggest ways in which I can safely "remove" the older cluster (other than uninstalling). Also when users log in using SmartView, they would see the older and new cluster.. Is there anyways I can get rid of the older cluster without having to uninstall everthing on Server2 and start fresh?
Thanks!

Thanks John!
I have a doubt which I hope you can throw some light now..
I created a new instance and configured Essbase Server and Studio server on it. So now I have two EPM instances on the same physical server both having Essbase server and Essbase studio server - both Essbase servers belong to different Essbase clusters. Now from the EPM docs I do not find any mention that we can or cannot have multiple instances of Essbase Studio on the same server. Kindly correct me if I am wrong..
In the deployment report I see two identical entries for the Essbase Studio server in the older epminstance but I do not see Essbase Studio of the 2nd Instance.
epmsystem_1 (Server2)
Essbase Studio Server - 9080
epmsystem_1 (Server2)
Essbase Studio Server - 9080
After I start up the 2nd Essbase Studio server I tried connecting to it from Essbase Studio Console and got the error "Read permission denied to object folder:\'system'."
Similarly when I run start_BPMS_bpms1_CommandLineClient.sh and issue the reinit command I get the same error.
So I stopped the 2nd Essbase Studio server on epmsystem_2 and started up the first Essbase Studio server on epmsystem_1. I was able to connect to it fine from Essbase Studio console and reinit worked too.. I ran a drill through report which worked fine.
-> So is it that we can have only one instance of Essbase Studio on a single server?
Also say I want to use the Essbase Studio on the 2nd instance.. Could I re-configure just Essbase server on epmsystem_1 and re-configure Essbase server and Essbase studio server on epmsystem_2 ?
Thanks,
Kent

Mirroring Windows Server to a Solaris Server using filesync & NFS

I am trying to mirror the data from a Windows 2000 server to a Solaris 10 server using filesync over NFS. I have been able to do this from one solaris/sparc machine to another without problems, but this heterogeneous sync is failing. The Windoze machine is running Hummingbird NFS Maestro Server. I've tried both an old version of Maestro (5.x) and the newest version. On the solaris machine, I craft the .packingrules file by hand and issue "filesync -o src" to copy from the nfs mounted source to a local directory. The initial copy seems to go well, albeit with numerous complaints about ownership and permissions. On either the second or third running of "filesync -o src", it wants to delete all of the files that it just wrote. Argh! Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
Perhaps I need to mirror in some other way. If all else fails, next I'll compile rsync on the solaris machine, trying it over NFS.
I'd appreciate any suggestions of how best to mirror.
By the way, my goal here is to show to Windoze PC users that this Solaris server can do everything that the Windows server can do, and more. With hopes, I'll be able to migrate completely off of the Windoze server.
Thanks

smbmount doesnt exist for solaris 10.
The functionality would require a smbfs kernel module which is not available in solaris 10.
I think there might be a commercial product that provides this functionality, but its name escapes me at the moment..
