Installation of Forte M2

Anyone every experienced these problems when installing Forte version M2 (or
any version of Forte)??
1) Installation script fails when running from remotely mounted CD.
Specifically, it fails when copying forte.ver from the CD to FORTE_ROOT.
2) Installation script (now running from directories copied directly onto
the Sun box) fails because the environment variable FORTE_WW_DOCUMENT_ROOT
is defined in the environment. We had to completely remove it as renaming
it to XXXX_WW_DOCUMENT_ROOT still did not work.
Install ran fine after that.

You might need to have a look at Technote 11150 which addresses the problems you
experienced.
Below is the technote:
When you try to run the install program from the CD on a Unix machine, you must
use ./install.sh so the install is not called from anywhere but the CD. You
might by mistake be using the install from your previous installation and in
that case multiple things will go wrong.
It may simply give you an error
INSTALL.SH: Command not found.
or
Following error happened when an incorrect install was called.
Copying relnotes.trz from installation media to
/export3/forte/rel3c ...
cp: cannot access ../sun_sol/relnotes.trz
chmod: WARNING: can't access /export3/forte/rel3c/relnotes.trz
mv: cannot access /export3/forte/rel3c/relnotes.trz
/export3/forte/rel2h4/install/bin/install.sh: relnotes.tar.Z: not
found
FATAL ERROR:
Forte installation script is terminating.
A central repositoy was not created when the FORTE_NS_ADDRESS was in use.
Distribution of Autocompilation and Codegen applications were not added to the
installation because the FORTE_ROOT was pointing to the wrong place.
It is recommended that you make sure none of the old Forte environment settings
are available when you want a new version of Forte installed on your
system. Upgrading is different but still the right installer should be
called.

Prob : Installation of Forte on NT

I have done a full distributed Installation of Forte on a Windows NT machine with 16MB RAM (eventhough the
minimum requirement is 24MB). I tried to Boot the named server process and got the following error message:
nserver : Initialization completed
Begin stack Backtrace=====....
Trace caused by segmentation or access violation in the Forte executable:
nserver version 1.2.k.9
Fault at :date , node etc.
End of stack Backtrace
Any help in solving the problem would be appreciated.

Automating Forte installation

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to automate the installation of Forte. e.g.
command-lie options for "setup.exe", creating an input or "ini" file etc...
My reasoning is in hopes of minimizing the amount of user-input required for
performing a large number of standardized installs.
Any help greatly appreciated.

At Carlson Hospitality Worldwide we solved this exact problem. We started
out just as you are hoping we could somehow use Forté's provided
installation process, but we quickly gave up. Instead, we created our own.
Here's how:
First, we used an uninstall tool which logged the Forté Run-Time
installation process (registry settings, files added, and files modified).
We then used that log and InstallShield Professional 5.1 to create our own
Forté Run-Time installation package which duplicated the one provided by
Forté but setup the registry with hard-coded values rather than asking the
installer. We then used WinZip Self-Extractor to package all of the files
into a single self-extracting and self-running executable that didn't prompt
the user to do anything (when the self-extractor .exe is run, it unzips to a
temporary directory and then automatically runs the setup.exe).
We purchased InstallShield Professional, WinZip, and WinZip Self-Extractor,
and all three products were inexpensive and easy to install, learn, and use.
At the time we also were working closely with Forté to let them know what we
were doing in hopes that they would eventually provide enough functionality
in their own installation process so that in the future other's would not
have to repeat what we did. I'm not sure what the current status of that
request is, so it may be worth your while to contact Forté directly.

Help: Forte on Windows, cant find javax packages

Forte integration was working fine for me yesterday, and after uninstalling and re-installing (to fix another problem), I now get the following error:
Test/TestApp.java [9:1] package javax.microedition.midlet does not exist
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
^
Any ideas what went wrong? Where does Forte look for the classpath? I have a CLASSPATH environment variable set, is it using this, or is there an app-specific configuration it looks for? Forte 3, JDK 1.3.1, J2MEWTK 1.0.3.
Thx,
Fred

[HypnosFred],
Did you re-install the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.0.3 BETA as well after your re-installation of Forte for Java 3.0?
This is because the installation process of the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 1.0.3 BETA software will prompt the user if he/she wants to integrate to Forte for Java or not. If you choose to integrate the J2ME WTK to Forte for Java, it will place classpath settings, etc, etc, etc on the configuration files of Forte for Java 3.0.
Let us know if you still have problems and get the error messages.

Setting locale in Forte

Hi,
I have just installed Forte 2.0 CE on my US English Windows 2000 currently running in the Japanese Locale.
The inital installation of Forte installed fine without any weird quirks but after the intial update, i think it has read some locate setting from my registry and now, i am left with parts of Forte in English and other parts in Japanese. I can't figure out what is causing this but is there a way to fix this problem but is there a setting or somethign somehwere that sets the entire locale setting of forte in English?
If there are any questions, i can be reached at [email protected]
Thanks a bunch!

DDE with Forte/Express

Subject: DDE with Forte/Express 7/28/97 1:01 PM
Has anyone tried feeding data into Forte via an external system? The manual has a few pages containing command etc but I would like to find some actual code/examples. We are looking into feeding data from perhaps Reuter into Forte. At this point I am not familiar with DDE nor Reuter. Is there somebody who have experience in this? How much work is involved and can you send me any examples or documentations?

I had a problem similar to this trying to install Express 1.0.c. with Forte
2.f installed. I had to reinstall E2 and then install Express and then
reinstall 2F
It appears to be working now.

RE: Forte express v. 1.0.c.2
Does anyone would give a hand regarding Forte express installation?
I encount a problem where the setup.exe always returns a message
--"...Unable to find forte directory, installation is unable to
continue..",
despite the fact that I have had a up-and-running versin of Forte.
In the warming message, it also mentions that they need version of
2.0.E.2. I only have Forte system software v2.0.F.2. Does it matter? Is it
because I have a latter version of the software which makes Forte
express unable to detect?

RE : Multiple environments on NT

Hello Veronika,
I have just tested on NT4 a multiple configuration with 2 environments
On one user session NT : it works very well.
I also use multi-version (R2 and R3) on the same PC.
I use the next command :
"C:\forteR3\install\bin\nodemgr.exe -e TstEnv1 -fnd Node1 -fns
HOSTNAME:5000" for the first environment
"C:\forteR3\install\bin\nodemgr.exe -e TstEnv2 -fnd Node2 -fns
HOSTNAME:5010" for the second one
I don't need any re-installation of Forte only one FORTE_ROOT.
You should be able to to the same with NT services using the
srvcinst.exe
utility on FORTE_ROOT/install/bin.
Hope this helps.

Dan,
The problem you are describing with the system agents and partitions not
being visible sounds like a problem with how you are starting the
partitions. In configurations such as these, you need to specify which
node manager the partition is being started under. This is done
automatically when you start an application from the environment, but from
the command line, you should use something like:
ftexec -fi ... -fnd node_name -ftsvr 0 .....

Hello Ray,
You are right : I didn't explain enough.
The aim is to define different context for each environment.
One solution is to make (just as on Unix) a command file (.bat) to
define Forte environment variable and to use it in other command files
to start an environment for instance. This is very usefull for testing
but I think that it is difficult to manage. The other solution is to
define a specific account on NT for each context redefining in the
registry the FortesoftwareInc entries for each account (especially
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS).
These are two ways to obtain the same result, but using the registry
I only use one system referential and I don't have to redefine each
Forte command which has to become a service.
For the second part, I start my partitions using ftexec -fi command
(with -ftsvr option for server partition).
It seems that Forte nodemgr reuses the environment variables of
the context of the process and not the options you used and
in that case the System Agents aren't well refreshed. The nodes are
visible, but the processes on the nodes you start by hand aren't
visible. I have the same problem with Repository agent on multiple
environments on Aix : some agents , may be, aren't well instanciated.
On Aix, I used standard solution : defining specific user and specific
fortedef.sh for each environment.
Happy new year.

Hello,
After discussing about it with Forte and making new tests,
beware on the solution you choose :
if you use the same login for your services, you will have some
problems to start your applications. You need to use different
logins(NT accounts) for earch nodemgr.Ummm.... I do not think that this is right. We have had (under Forte
R2) several nodemgrs on one machine and (under R3) several launch
servers all started from the same NT (4.0) login. All they needed to
differentiate themselves was different environments.
If you don't, Forte wont start your application properly.
Then if you start your partitions by hand (using DOS),
the application starts well, but the Forte agents don't
see the application partitions (even ftexec processes).
What do you mean by the above? Forte System agents? Our client
machines described above have always been visible in EConsole/EScript.
Hope this helps.

If you are using a particular user account for installing UDS you should make sure the account you are using has administrator privileges. Also, check if you have set the Repository/Environment services (manager) to be executed under a particular user account. If your login account is one different than the one used by the repository/environment services you migth expect problems...

Here's my fix for Forte installer hang on WinMe.

Hi all (all those with problems anyway :) ,
(I tried to post this in the Sun ONE Studio forum
but always got an error)
I had a problem installing Sun One Studio 4 Update 1.
It would keep freezing when it started searching for
the J2SDK, with the message: "Searching for suitable
J2SDK, please wait..".
Well, here's what worked for me on WinMe. Not all of
these steps may be necessary.
Install J2SDK to "C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01". First I uninstalled
it because it was in a folder with a space in the name. I
heard that was an issue with some OS's.
Create a text file containing the text "jh=C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01".
Close it and rename it as "ffj_ce_win32_en.sp". It's appar-
ently important that its name is the same as the installer,
except for the "sp" extension of course.
Put it into the same directory with ffj_ce_win32_en.exe
( the Forte installer ).
Leave the name of the Forte installer as original (instead
of renaming it to something more descriptive for example ).
Mine was named "ffj_ce_win32_en.exe".
In C:\Windows\
Rename java.exe to java-.exe
Rename javaw.exe to javaw-.exe
The important thing here is to make sure their new names are
unlikely to conflict with the names of any other files that
might be placed there later.
Now run the installer again and make it (finally !),
After I did all the above, it immediately found the correct
folder (instead of the usual freeze-up).
Hope this helps someone else too.

Thanx!!! A frustrating hour and a half later I found your post and it worked beautifully!

Forte Installation stuck at "Extracting..."

Hi chaps!
I downloaded Forte Community Edition 1.01 but can not install it because it
does not progress past the "Extracting..." stage.
I am running Solaris 8 EA on a Dual Celeron 488Mhz box with 224MB of RAM.
I have tried both the Java 1.2.2 and 1.3-Beta revisons
Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers

I think you ran out of /tmp space in your harddisk.
Forte for Java CE edition installation first extracts the compressed files onto a temp space.
Either that or you really have an imcompatible JVM version or you are missing OS patches for Solaris 8. I noticed you are using the EA version which is not recommended.
Forte for Java CE edition is now at revision v1.0 Update Release 2. You can download this version and try.

Re: Forte 3.0 Runtime Installation to large userbase

Hi ka.
You can install forte on every client with your NetWizard program, and
finally, you can create a small VB application to write in registry the
Forte configuration Information, you can also use an Install Shield Wizard
Setup program, to install on every machine more keys to your registry.
I hope this is useful

Forte Installation on Solaris 2.6

Hi ,
I am unable to install ForteCE on Solaris 2.6 .
Can you please tell me if i need any patches to Install forte on Solaris .
Thanx and Rgds,
Preeti

The official statement could be obtained by a search at the main web site http://www.sun.com
ldapv2 patch "solaris 2.6"
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-1814-10/relnotes_ds51sp4.html
===
This release of Directory Server is not supported on Sun Solaris 2.6 or Sun Solaris 7. You must upgrade to Sun Solaris 8 before upgrading to or installing Directory Server 5.1 Service Pack 4.
===
If this happens to DS5.2, it should apply to DS5.2 also, I reckon.

Forte 6.1 installation

i am going to install the forte 6.2 on sparc solaris 2.8.(c/c++)
Is it different than sun compiler 4.1 installatino?.
could i get the (major) steps to do this?. i am in a rush situation.
Jim

Yes, I think this is broken as well. However, the error is a little more specific than your example illustrates.
Take the example from Stroustrup, C++ Prog. Lang. SE, on page 377. In the example in the book, D1::h will give an error, since its throwspec is less restrictive. WS6U2 agrees.
Note, however, that WS6U2 does not give an error on D1::g, which has a more restricted throwspec than B::g. So the compiler isn't completely wrong. Now add the following to the end:
class D2 : public B
public:
void f() throw(X);
void g() throw();
void h() throw(X, Y);
Adding D2, and building, we get errors, correctly, for both D1::h and D2::h, since they are less restrictive. However, we also get an error on D2::g, claiming that its throwspec must be at least as restrictive, etc. So, it looks as if the compiler doesn't believe that an empty throwspec is more restrictive!.
You can work around this by passing -features=extensions, and these errors will become warnings. While this workaround may help, -features=extensions enables other things as well, which you may not want. But, OTOH, at least you can compile...
Hope this helps.

Forte C 6 installation problems

Hi,
I have just installed Forte C 6 and have some problems I couldn't correct.
1_ The online help is not correctly pointed.
Even when I have the files and can open them from mi navigator, the online help can't find them.
Do I have any way to correct that?
2_ The Memory Monitor help files were not installed, so I can't even open them from the html files directly.
3_ The source browser is crashing each time I try to do a multiple directory browse, even after deleting the db and rebuilding it to get it in sync.
4_ I can't find a way to display in hex the contents of a variable pointed by an unsigned char *, when it starts with a 0x00 character.
It interprets it as a string and displays "" or 0x0, when I know that it has some other values in the following bytes.
I tried formatting the request (with a dbx formatting command) as f.6x , which should do it but it doesn't.
Any help on this points and specially in the last one will be appreciated, as my schedule is pushing me (does it sound familiar, developers? :-)
Thanks.-
