Difference betn Solaris 7 and 8

Hi,
I am developing an application which has to be compatible with both Solaris 7 as well as Solaris 8 in terms of IPC (Inter process communication like threads ), file and synchronization.
Is there any difference in the IPC methods of Solaris 7 and 8. ?
Can anyone please let me know of any such issue which has to be taken care of for writing the application compatible to both the versions.
regards.

I'd say that if you stick to posix (pthreads) and SYS V IPC (shmem, semaphores etc.) your binary will run on Solaris 7 and 8, but I have not verified that.
I'd be interested if an ANSI C application compiled with Sun WorkShop 6 2000/04/07 C 5.1 on Solaris 8 will also run on Solaris 9 and Solaris 7 (sparc).
SUN people: any comments? Thanks in advance!

SSH Differences between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10

I use public key authentication when connecting via SSH but have noticed a difference between Solaris 9 and Solaris 10 and wondered if it's an environment setup issue. I keep my keys in $HOME/.ssh
When connecting from Solaris 9 I can provide an identity file without a path regardless of the directory that I'm in e.g.
ssh -i my_identity_file user@hostnameThe above works even if I'm not in the $HOME/.ssh directory. But when using the same from Solaris 10 I get the following error:
Warning: Identity file my_identity_file does not exist.If I run the command from $HOME/.ssh on Solaris 10 it connects fine, and if I pass in the path like so it works fine:
ssh -i $HOME/.ssh/my_identity_file user@hostnameIs there a setting specific to SSH somewhere as I can't see anything in my environment that's different between the two systems. There's certainly no entry in $PATH that points to $HOME/.ssh. How could I get SSH to work on Solaris 10 by just providing the identity file name and not the full path
Regards

It's not explicitly defined in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, so I'm assuming it would be using the default which is ~/.ssh/id_dsa.
But surely that's irrelevant if I'm using the -i switch to provide the identity file?
Remember the problem here is that I have to provide a full path to the identity file, whereas before just the filename would do.

Differences between solaris Intel and solaris Sparc

Hi,
I'm new to this solaris world. But I've been using other flavour of unix. I just wondering if somebody could explain to me the differences between Intel version and Sparc version, please? If you have any website that explain it all would be great.
Thank you in advance.
regards,
zonex

It's more of a question of what architecture you would run it on. But a few things software wise:
SPARC has 64-bit OS support
SPARC generally has more 3rd party software available
SPARC is supported by Sun, Intel is being phased out
Intel I percieve as faster than lower-end SPARC
They are not binary compatible, so you can't run SPARC binaries on Intel and vice versa.

Are there differences between Solaris 8 and Solaris 2.6 in the way web pages are displayed for Chinese and Korean text using UTF-8 settings?

A user is running a web application on Solaris Release 2.6 with UTF-8. After the server was updated to Solaris 8, the application is experiencing problems with webpages containing Korean and Chinese text. The encoding is UTF-8. Has anyone experienced this problem? I checked the packages installed on Solaris 8 and they are consistent with what was installed on Solaris 2.6. Could this possibly be a patch-level problem? Thank you.

Hi,
It could be a problem with the necessary patche updation. refer the following FTP site for the Solaris pathces.
connect through the FTP cleint to sunsolve.sun.com
/pub/patches directory contains a lot of patches for solaris.
Find and install the corresponding patch require to solve your problem.

Difference between Solaris 2.8 and 5.8

Hi ,
I am a newbie here. I will start with a very basic question. What is difference between Solaris2.8 and Solaris5.8
I figured out that 8 here is OS version , so Solaris 5.8 will be version 8 of solaris and 5.10 will be version 10.
But any clue what is the difference between Solaris2.8 and 5.8.
Thanks,
Priyanshu.

Difference of nslookup printout on Solaris 9 and Solaris 10

Hi,
I am not sure whether I had to post in Solaris 9 or Solaris 10 forum. So I posted this here too.
We are porting some of our applications from Solaris 9 to Solaris 10. We found a
strange problem/ scenario with the nslookup on Solaris 9.
We issued a ENUM query on Solaris 9 and the output from the nslookup binary on
Solaris 9 is given below :
nslookup -q=naptr -timeout=0 -domainname=. 0.0.2.1.6.2.2.7.2.1.0.e164i.arpa
Server: test.org
Address: xx.xx.xx.xx
0.0.2.1.6.2.2.7.2.1.0.e164i.arpa order = 0, preference = 0
flags = "u"
services = "E2U+sip"
rule = "!^.*$!sip:01272261200;phone-context=[email protected];user=phone!"
replacement = (root)
0.0.2.1.6.2.2.7.2.1.0.e164i.arpa order = 1, preference = 0
flags = "u"
services = "E2U+sip"
rule = "!^.*$!sip:01272261200;phone-context=[email protected];user=phone!"
replacement = (root)
The same query on Solaris 10 has the following output :
nslookup -q=naptr -timeout=0 -domain=. 0.0.2.1.6.2.2.7.2.1.0.e164i.arpa
Server: xx.xx.xx.xx
Address: xx.xx.xx.x#53
0.0.2.1.6.2.2.7.2.1.0.e164i.arpa naptr = 0 0 "u" "E2U+sip" "!^.*$!sip:01272261200\;phone-context=[email protected]\;user=phone!" .
0.0.2.1.6.2.2.7.2.1.0.e164i.arpa naptr = 1 0 "u" "E2U+sip" "!^.*$!sip:01272261200\;phone-context=[email protected]\;user=phone!" .
I was wondering why the backslash is present only on Solaris 10 and not in Solaris 9. Is this a error in Solaris 9 or is the prinout format in Solaris
10 wrong ???
Thanks in advance !!
Regards,
Philip

We encoutered a problem on the solaris 10 machine do to a applicative bug. At a moment we get the url xxxxx.do?method=toto&method=titi.Havent you used the same parameter name ??
method=toto&method=titi
Looks same to me ;-)
So I envision this as a coding bug than a Solaris bug.
Or ...maybe you can throw some more light if I misunderstood you.

Difference of request.getParameter on Solaris 8 and Solaris 10

Hi all,
We put our application running on Solaris 8 and BroadVision 6.0 patch AO (JDK 1.4.2) on a machine running Solaris 10.
We encoutered a problem on the solaris 10 machine do to a applicative bug. At a moment we get the url xxxxx.do?method=toto&method=titi.
Here is the part of the code which is executed differently on Solaris 8 and Solaris 10
String name = request.getParameter("method");
to get the value of "method"
In solaris 8; we have name="toto"
In solaris 10, we have name="titi"
Does anyone encoutered the same "bug" ????
Regards,
Fred

Error on install of 125136-18 and 125137-18 on jdk-6u16 on Solaris 9 and 10

On Solaris 9, its state is either cpu0 or cpu1,
depending on the time I call 'top'. Does that mean
it is actually running on either cpu0 or cpu1?Should be.
What
is the difference between the 'cpu0' state and the
'run' state?A thread can be sleeping (it doesn't have anything to do), or runnable. Although it's runnable, it doesn't mean that it's running right at that instant.
Note that it's difficult to get a good view of the situation with 'top' (or almost any other program). Because whenever 'top' looks, 'top' will always be running, even though it's only running a fraction of the time.
And does it mean all 4 threads are
running/assigned to cpu0 (or cpu1)? No. Each thread is independently executed. But since you only have 2 processors, and since 'top' has to be running when it runs, you'll only ever see your process on at most one other cpu.
You might want to use 'prstat' and 'prstat -L'. The first shows one line per process, the second one line per thread.
On Solaris 10, the state shows 'cpu'. Does it mean
it is running? And does it mean that each thread may
run on a different CPU therefore the state does not
show any particular CPU number? Is it correct that
Solaris 9 assign the CPU on a per-process basis and
Solaris 10 on a per-thread basis?I don't know exactly what top does or doesn't do. You might try 'prstat' instead.
There is no difference at this level between Solaris 9 and 10. All will schedule on a per-thread basis.

Need Pre_requisites to install Solution Manager in Solaries 9 and Oracle 10

Hi Administrators,
In my project, we have planned to implement Solution Manager 7.0 in O/S Solaries 9 and Database Oracle 10.2.
We are implementing this Solution Manager in already existing SAP server.
We have server like TSAPNGN, In this server already our QAS ECC 5.0 and QAS BW 3.5 are exist and running in this server.
I need information like, What is the pre_requisites to install SAP application, where already another SAP exist in Server.
Appreciate ur help.
Thanks & Regards,
Jagan.

Hello
There is no difference whether you are installing the Solution Manager on a separate server or an existing server already containing the DEV system. you will get some idea from these Notes
21960 Several instances/systems on one UNIX computer
28392 Two R/3 Systems on one Windows NT Server
322653 DB6: Two or several systems on a host
I think, you should go for Central System installtion for the Solman, with it's own database.
and what do you mean by 'standalone solman' here ?
Just go 'installation and upgrades' -> My application components -> SAP Solution Manager -> Solman 7.0 or EHp1 -> Installation and upgrades
For installation guide
installation and upgrade guiedes -> SAP components -> SAP Solution manager -> Select solman version

Defferent work usleep in Solaris 10 and Solaris 9

I've compile program in Solaris 9 and Solaris 10(cc or gcc).
On Solaris 9 cpu load is lower then 1 %.
On Solaris 10 cpu load is more then 16%.
Why I have this big difference. 16% is very big for me.

I presume you compiled php on the Sun server, was this done using gcc or the Sun One C compiler.
If the latter then you can also use the flag: --enable-nonportable-atomics when you run configure

Difference betn credit memo n credit memo for returns

Hi,
What is difference betn credit memo n credit memo for returns?

Hi
CREDIT MEMO:
Suppose, you have chrged (Price) the customer more or you have charged the customer for say 10 pieces but you have send actually 8 pieces,for which customer has paid you.
In both the above scenarios, you need to pay back the excess amount paid by him.
To payback, we create a Billing document called Credit memo. In standard SAP, Billing Type G2 is created for Credit memo.
This Credit memo(G2) is created with reference to a Credit memo request (Sales document type) with Order type "CR".
This Credit memo Request (CR) is created either with reference to Sales order or Billing document.
Ofcourse, it can also be created with out any reference document also. In real time scenario, we normally create this Credit memo Request with reference to the Billing document (Invoice).
No Delivery takes place in this scenario while creating a Credit memo (G2).
CREDIT FOR RETURN
When goods are physically returned back by the customer due to some complaint, then we first, create a Return order(Order Type RE) with reference to either Sales order or Billing document. Normally, in real time scenarios, we refer the Billing document.
Return order can also be created with out any reference .
In situation like, suppose you had sent 10 pieces of certain material to the customer for which he has paid. But he found that 2 pieces are defective or damaged in transit. So he has returned it to you for which you need to create a Return order(RE).
From this Return order(RE) -
> Return Delivery is created -
> PGR.
As customer has returned the goods to you, then there are 2 options with you. Either you may send fresh stock ,which we normally call "Replacement" OR you may pay back the value for the returned goods.
If, we pay back, then we create a Credit memo for return, which called "Credit for Return" and in standard SAP represented by Billing Type (RE).
In standard system, this "Credit for Return(RE)" is ALWAYS created with reference to the "Return Order(RE)".
Even though, physical delivery takes place in return process, still the "Credit for return(RE)" is created with reference to the "Return order(RE)".
If, client requires it to be created from Return delivery then you need to establish necessary settings in customisation which has already beed discussed in this forum several times.
Hope, it is clear.
Regards

Difference betn 161-122

what is Difference betn 161 and 122 movement type
Nikhil

Hi,
I think the main difference is between return to vendor via 122 and 161 is that
- in case of mvt 122 you post the GI with reference to the PO (directly to the material document(GR) and thus to the PO)
- in case of mvt 161 you have to create a new PO / new PO item and you post the goods issue with reference to that.
So, if you use mvt 122 the return goods movement will be linked to the original PO item. If you decide to use mvt 161 there will be no connection with the original PO item.
If you booked IR for the PO item and you do not want to cancel it, you should use mvt 161 return process (in case of GR-Based IV).
Please visit SAP online help.
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a5/63341243a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a5/63351643a211d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
I think this is the most important when you compare the two methodes.
I do not agree with Mr R.B. that 161 is "planned" and 122 is not "planned" - the same decision making process may be behind both scenario. Of course, there is difference between the processes from MRP ponit of view, maybe in this sense we can call mvt 161 as "planned" (even though it can be the result of an ad hoc decision...).

Diff between Solaris 8 and Solaris 9

Hello Experts,
Do we have a document which talks about the diff between Solaris 8 and Solaris 9
I need to know what are the new featured in Solaris 9 and etc....
Thanks in Advance.
Sunil.

Sadly, the difference between the early releases of Solaris 9 and the late releases of Solaris 8 isn't that big, since Sun backported a lot of the cool features in Solaris 9 to Solaris 8..
Hence; the answer to your question depends on which Solaris 8 and which Solaris 9 releases you are talking about.
However, a complete list of changes incoperated in the different Solaris 9 releases can be found here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5770/6ml72d6k9?a=view
I guess there are similar lists for Solaris 10, which is even cooler than 8/9.
Enjoy!
