Help needed to get started

Hi I am very new to Solaris and had not even seen what a UNIX screen looks before. The sys admin person left so it is all upto me to take care of the systems. That is a good thing, I'll learn, but I need some help. I have a brand new Sun V880 box sitting in the box. I have to install Solaris 10 & then Oracle 10g on it.
As I mentioned, I am very new to the world of Solaris. I don't even know how and where to get Solaris installable CD and whether I need license. Also I know that Solaris installation is not like XP that I just run setup.exe.
Could someone please guide me as where and how do I get started. I don't want anyone to do my work, but I need guidance. I know about Oracle 10g CD's but could someone tell me how do I begin with Solaris 10.
The CD
license
parmaeters
kernal settings
etc.
Any help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hello,
you can download the solaris 10 install iso's directly from sun (look under products). as far as the licensing goes, read the aup. i strongly suggest getting a book on unix basics, unix security, and another on administration. unix can be very complicated to learn how to setup and secure properly. i dont want to discourage you, but you are going to need to spend a fair amount of time on this one (learning what everything is, device names, services, package system, etc).
good luck

  • Help Needed with getting Started With Office 365 Development C# Rest API

    We have a O365 Tenant Setup with a Federated Active Directory Setip we want to be able to right code that will connect to our tenant and perform basic CRUD operations against it (ex. Creating mail boxes)
    The problem is we want this to be contained in a CLR trigger In SQL so say if a new user is added to our user table then we would create a new AD account for that user and also create a mailbox.
    But I cannot find and example on how to connect to Office 365 using the REST API (Not the SDK because you can not add the connected service to a class library) and before the required actions that we need to do. All the example I have found are with the
    SDK API and/or require window 8 and that is also not an option.
    Please help I do not know where to start, and I would love to see some examples done in c# and not using the SDK.
    Thanks,
    Andrew Day

    Hi,
    >> Instead of SharePoint URLs I would use the O365 API URL?
    Yes, in my sample code, I was accessing the File resource by using the O365 File API. In your case, you need to acquire the token to access the Mail resource and use O365 Mail API.
    By the way, I think the article
    Understand Office 365 app authentication concepts will help you to understand the authentication process in Office 365 Development.
    >> Why can I not use the SDK API with a class Library?
    Actually, you are able to reference the Office 365 .NET SDK in the class Library. But the class library project type was not supported by Visual Studio Office 365 Development Tool. As a workaround,
    you can reference the SDK manually in your project.
    Since your original question is about “getting started with Office 365 Development C# Rest API”, if you have more questions about the Office 365 SDK, I will suggest you posting a new thread
    to discuss the Office 365 SDK. It will involve more other community members to share their ideas and experience on a specific a question and for others who had a similar question could also find the valuable information quickly.

  • What software do I need to get started with GIS development

    Hello, I'm a Oracle RDBMS specialist but interested in getting into GIS development. I want to set up a local environment and play around with it. Could someone advise me as to what software I need to install/download? Is all of it free?
    1.) I'm assumming I need ORACLE with SPATIAL (was looking into 10g) Is this download free?
    2.) I also looked into MAP VIEWER as an extension of the Oracle Application Server.
    Are these 2 products all I need to get started?
    I also read alot about arcGIS? Can this product be downloaded for free or is it a licensed product?
    Does anyone have any other suggestions about some software/documentation that may help me get started in this technology.
    Thanks,

    Hello!!
    Actually, you need Oracle Spatial or Oracle Locator. Oracle Locator is free on Oracle Express, and you could start with it. Otherwise, if you want to know more, Oracle Spatial comes with Oracle Enterprise, and Oracle 10g gives you a schema that allow you to store, manage and query spatial data through Oracle functions, etc.
    To start using MapViewer, considering that you already have some spatial data stored on the database, you could download the MapViewer kit at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/spatial/index.html.
    You could buy the Pro Oracle Spatial book. It´s very good.
    Good Luck!

    hey, i need to get started on labview. i have to make an interface in which i have to make a program to send a voltage to a machine

    well you could start by telling us what the name of the machine is. What type of interfacing does it have. does it already have ready made drivers.
    These are just a few things we need to know.

  • Help needed regarding getting jnlp

    Hi all,
    we need help regading java web start. We are downloadng some set of jar files to the client side using JNLP. With these jar files jnlp launches a swing base application in the client side and interacts with server application depoyed in WebSphere. In order to launch this application IBM Jre is needed in the client side. But IBM Jre can not install in non IBM meachines. So, we planing to make jar file of Jre and download it along with the rest of the jar files. After that we want to install in some directory in the client meachine and use that JRE to launch application. Now we are couple of problems with this approach.
    1) To extract the Jre from the jar file we need the path, where these jars are downloaded.Even though we know the path "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\IBM\Java\Deployment\cache" we can't hard code this, because user may change this location. The extraction program of this jar file in the client side is in one of the jar file that is downloaded. But here in the it is not able to recongnize relative path. So what we need is, is there any api to get this location of this path.
    2)Second, In order to launch the application with downloaded Jre we need to set the classpath for jars that are downlaoded with Jnlp. But after downloading these jar files to the client side they are renamed(prefixed with RM and RT). Now, how to set the classpath to these jar files.
    Here instead of JNLP if we use applet our problem will be solved. But we can't use applet because of client requirements.
    Anybody, please try to suggest me some thing with this problem.
    thanks,

  • Help Needed for T42 Start-up Problem

    Urgent help need!!!
    I have a ThinkPad T42 with Windows XP installed.  It works perfectly for a while without ever have any problem or error message.  Then suddenly it won’t work anymore.  The symptom is following:
    After power on the laptop the Microsoft window would show up and it prompt me for window logon password.  After I type in the password it then shows “window is loading your personal setting”.  After a long while nothing would show up on the screen other than the background of the normal screen.  There is no window bar at the bottom or any icon on the screen.  If I start in safe mode then everything would show up.  I don’t know what is going on.
    This happened two months ago and I ended up restoring a backup image to get it work again.  It happens again today with the same symptom.  I am really tired of having to restore image backup every 2 months. 
    I would really appreciate it if any of your experts can offer me some insight into this problem.  I am desperate in need of help.
    Thanks very much!

    wangy26, welcome to the forum,
    Have a look at this thread to see if my post there helps. The problem seems to mostly occur at the start of a month, why I don't know. Unfortunately the member didin't report back whether or not this was a viable solution for them.

  • Help !! Getting started in Jdeveloper

    Hi!, I want start learning how to use Jdeveloper from the very beginning. I really dont know anything about it, for example , i dont know if i need more programs than the Jdeveloper complete install to use it(ex Oracle 9i), etc, and i just encountered some topics for not so newbies users, anybody could help me and tell me a link (or a file from Jdev. complete install)where can i begin from scratch learning Jdev ? .
    Thanks a lot(really...)!!
    CristiAn.

    Christian,
    Getting started is tuff. I've developed in PowerBuilder, Oracle Forms, some VB and have started with JDeveloper 9.0.2. You should download Oracle 9i database from this site. You should at least install Jdeveloper 9.0.2 (do the full install). Install db and developer on seperate machines if possible. You don't need 9iAS until you are ready to test deploying a full "system". Jdeveloper comes with the ability to run you applications within the IDE (Integrated Development Environment a.k.a. JDeveloper).
    Now for the hard part. JDeveloper is NOT EASY TO LEARN. Most of the postings on this site do not deal with the basics (in my opinion). There are a myriad of choices in JDeveloper on how to build your applications and so far, after a little over 4 weesk, I have yet to get anyone from Oracle or otherwise to point to documented "reasons" why one would/should use UIX-JSP, BC4J-JSP, UIX-XML or JClient web pages to solve either a general or specific business need. So good luck on trying to figure out what it all means.
    Lastly, this is not VB, Oracle forms or PowerBuilder so don't try and make it that (if those are in your experience).
    So, you may ask, why would I hang in there after 4 weeks of what seem like getting nowhere? I can't say, other than my instincts tell me that J2EE will be some significant part of the Software Development future.
    Good Luck, and you can be pretty sure I may not look at this post again to see if you have more questions for me (get used to that on this site too!), so follow up your questions with the idea that someone else may say more (but also be aware you may never see another reply).

  • Please help me to get started!!!

    hi, i am new to java MIDlet and I am not really having any luck to get it started. I am running the newest version of NetBeans IDE. I have downloaded some MIDlet code from the sun site. However, when I pasted it onto the NetBean, the line
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
    import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
    alone with the next few lines have a red underline and a x next to it. Am I misssing some libaries or setting the wrong class path? If so how can I fix this? But the thing is that it compiles and run under most of the emulators. However, when i set the defualt to the most important emulator that I needed, the Palm OS one, it gives me this message:
    A descriptor must be specified for MIDP-Palm.
    What does this means? Please I need to know what I need to do to fix this. Also where are the compiled .java files? I looked everywhere but they were no where to be found. I am new to this so I need step-by-step instructions on how to fix those problems. Please help this newbie to get started. Thank you in advance.

    no one is willing to help? :( It is still not working.......

  • Direction Needed to Get Started With XSQL Servlet

    Hi, I am an ORACLE DBA. However, I am brand new to XML world. I tried to experiment and and understand the use of XSQL Servlet. I downloaded the software 1.0.0.0, and installed it on my PC, with the included Web-to-go. The installation seems to be OK, as I followed the instructions and twisted a little bit based on the intuition.
    When I clicked on the Demo pages, it seemed to work.
    The problem is, I want to understand the working of the XSQL Servlet. The only document I have is the Release Note of the software. It is very terse and seems to be for the ones who either worked on the previous release of the product or who knows the XML very well. I got lost in the reading of the document.
    Is there some documents that will provide some Intro level tutorial or help? Where should I begin to the learning of the software?
    Thanks for the help.

    v_enddate := last_day(to_date(p_end, 'YYYY/MM'));I'm not sure what you mean by "declare".
    In PL/SQL, "declare" means state (at the beginning of a block) that there will be a certain variable with a certain name (such as v_startdate) and datatype (such as DATE). You're already declaring the variables v_startdate and v_enddate correctly, right before the BEGIN statement.
    Declaring a variable is not the same as initializing it, that is, giving it a value for the first time. Your next question seems to be about initializing..
    2. where exactly shud i include the logic that u have mentioned. sorry a dumb questionIn place of the two assignment statments that reference p_start and p_end.
    3. This time am gonna use frequency instead of report_type so that i will get rid of the p_start and p_end from the procedure.Do you mean you want to pass an argument (called frequency) that tells if you want a quarterly or a mionthly report, just like the variable report_type in my example?
    If so, replace report_type in my example with frequency.
    I think you want something like this:

    Where (text area, label, button) do you want it to do it.
    What do you want it do (browse within the local text area, open the default browser...)
    Text area, use above, JButton (or alike) and open default browser, use ActionListener and JDIC.

  • New to CF: What do I need to get started to update a website developed in CF?

    Hi. I have been asked to update a website that was developed in Coldfusion and I am not sure how to get started. I'm very familiar with HTML and I've been studying CFML. What I need to know now is how to get started. The website is not live yet and I need to make some changes to the content. I have Dreamweaver and I know I can download Coldfusion. Can someone please explain to me what needs to be done next? After I download CF then what? How do I make changes and save them on a site that isn't live yet? Do I need to go live with the site before I make changes? Is it possible to connect to a ftp server of a site that's not live yet? The site has a domain name that's registered.

    Publish your changes to that site.
    How you do that depends on what connection types you have to that site.  This might be done with FTP, WebDAV, Network File access or other methods.
    How you view the changed content will also depend on what you mean by 'gone live'.  Is there a Domain name that points to the content?  Do you know the IP address?  Is there some temporary Domain Name?  I have used all these methods and others in the past, depending on what I was working and how it was being hosted.
    These questions are most likely more definitively answered by talking to the system operators of whom ever is maintaining this web server for you.  If this is a hosting company, they may have common answers to these types of questions in a FAQ or other documentation.  If not, directing the questions at their customer support channels should yield appropriate results.
    If this is not true, then my strongest suggestion would be to find a better hosting solution!

  • I am new "help" (how to get started)

    Hi guys I am a drafter and i have been wanting to change careers for a while i like a more technical job instead of drawing lines all day long it get kind of boring, i want to be a DBA Admin and i am not sure what classes or requirements i would need to get a job as one any help would be appreciated thankz.

    Hi,
    i want to be a DBA Admin and i am not sure what classes or requirements i would need to get a job Every year, young computer professionals leave the hallowed halls and ivory towers of college and survey the landscape for computer jobs. They look at the salary surveys and drool at the prospect of earning up to $250k per year as a DBA. Many of them don't know what a DBA does, but they sure like the money.
    The most important thing to remember is that the job of a DBA requires a 24x7 commitment. Being an Oracle DBA can be a very stressful, thankless job, and many DBA jobs require the DBA to be on-call on Thanksgiving and Christmas to perform downtime maintenance. Plus, the DBA is expected to constantly keep-up with the rapidly-changing technology, working nights and weekends on a regular basis.
    It's not uncommon for a DBA to earn as much as a mid-level manager, and the high pay is a double-edged sword. The DBA must constantly justify their salary, and a good DBA who automates many of their job functions may find themselves looking for a new job.
    I have more notes here, on becoming an Oracle DBA:

    Hope this helps. . .
