SAMBA utilisation in Unix environment

Hello,
I am currently in discussions with our IT management about the use of SAMBA to allow our Unix SAP systems to share files with other Windows based systems for file-based interfaces.  There are a number of reservations about the use of 'free' software within the organisation, even though SAMBA is supported by the OS vendor (Sun in this case).
To help the case for the use of the tool, it would be nice to get some information on the other organisations that use SAMBA - can anyone help provide a list of organisations that do use it?
Thanks,
Brendan Byrne

Not sure how this is related to SAP but we are using SAMBA since years.
To exchange data between our SAP system and the users (e. g. file outputs of queries) our Linux servers mount via NFS a directory which is at the same time accessible from Windows clients using SAMBA.
At the time of migrating from Windows to Linux (7 years ago) we had our development and test systems on Linux and the production on Windows - we used SAMBA to share the transport directories.

    Work Around !
    You can execute OS commands using Jython script. Probably you need to flush your enviornment variables value into a file using jython script and then read those value into ODI variable from the file.
    BUt may I know why you want to read environment variable vaules in ODI, Dont you think this will make your application less portable

  • How do I use a UNIX environment variable for the path of a file name

    We are running Forms 6i over the web. The forms server runs on a UNIX (HP-UX) machine.
    I want to read the contents of a file, which is simple enough, using the TEXT_IO package. However, I want to reference a UNIX environment variable that specifies the file path i.e
    PROCEDURE get_file IS
    in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
    linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
    filename VARCHAR2(200);
    BEGIN
    filename:= '$LOG_DIR/RCAS181.log';
    in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
    .....other stuff
    Notice the filename string references my unix env variable '$LOG_DIR'. However, this doesnt work. If I put the full pathname it works fine.
    Any suggestions ?

    Have a look at TOOL_ENV.GETVAR()

  • SSO Configuration in UNIX Environment

    Hi,
    We are planning to impliment SSO between 2004s Portal with R/3, BW, and host of other non SAP application which supports SSO. All the applications are hosted in UNIX environment.
    Could anyone help us in understanding the pros and cons of having SSO in unix envrionment. Also you could give us any document (other than help.sap.com) which guides us in configuring will be of great help.
    Thanks
    Vivek Raj.

    Hi,
    There are no pros and cons for <b>SSO on Unix</b>. Needless to mention, the pros and cons of different operating systems supported by SAP.
    The steps involved to configure SSO remains the same for any of the SAP backend systems:
    1) Create a system on Portal and give a system alias to it.
    2) Download the verify.der file from Portal (System Administration -> System Configuration -> Keystore Administration)
    3) Log on to the backend SAP system.
    4) Use transaction STRUSTSSO2 and import the Portal certifcate (verify.der) to the SAP R3 or SAP BW or SAP CRM or for that matter any SAP system with ABAP stack.
    5) Give the values for EP system ID, client and language. Refer to this link : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/78/f1a8490e7011d6999500508b6b8a93/content.htm
    6) Configure the backend SAP systems to accept and verify the logon ticket. Use RZ10 and set the parameters : login/accept_sso2_ticket=1 and login/create_sso2_ticket=1
    7) Restart your R3 or BW system.
    For non-SAP systems, can you just let me know which systems are you referring to ?
    Incase you need a document for SSO configuration, do send me your email address. You can also find documents in SDN Library.

    Sunil

  • Java program in UNIX environment

    Hi All,
    Could you please help me with how to configure a java program in UNIX environment..
    that is to schedule it to run every day from cron..
    I need to know what are the basic things we require to achieve the above..
    I guess it is:
    A script
    A config file containing db login details
    oher than this I don?t know what is required plz help

    You can execute any jar or class file with cron. If you are using a jar you might use something like java -jar /usr/bin/myapp.jar .
    I use Linux, this is my area of expertise.
    Here is an online guide "for complete newbies" on how to set up cron.

  • Exception not throwing to action class in Unix environment

    Hi
    We are using Weblogic Server 9.2.3.0.
    One of our EJB is not throwing exception to calling Action class in Unix environment. Its working fine in Windows.
    Somehow the EJB is swallowing the exception.
    any idea? I suspect it may be environmental issue?
    thank you

    Thanx for your reply.. I just found a solution and would like to share that with you. There are some default request parameters passed by the portal to the action class. "strutsAction" is one of them. If you print this parameters, you will see that it contains the complete url of your action. Now you can use String manipulation to extract the value of the parameters.
    I know its a crude solution. But it works fine.
    Best regards,

  • Installation and deployment of operating system, applications and patches in Unix environment

    Is it possible to use Configuration Manager 2012 (or 2012 R2) to perform remote installation of operating system, applications and patching in a Unix environment?
    Balaji Kundalam

    ConfigMgr does not support Operating System Deployment for non-Windows OS flavors.
    You can use the ConfigMgr client on a Unix device to install applications and to instruct the device to install patches. Basically, the client will download files and run a script against them.  If there is a patch manager in your flavor of *nix, you
    can run a script to install the patches.
    See the supported operating systems here:

  • JQuery.js not working in UNIX environment

    Hi All,
    My development environment is Linux with Apache and we are using Coldfusion 9.
    We have developed some part of our code using jQuery.
    This is perfectly working in our DEV environment.
    We shipped the same code to the Production Environment. Which is Coldfusion 5 and Unix Environment with Apache Server.
    The problem is the parameter passing to jQuery is always null.
    Is jQuery will not work in Coldfusion 5?
    Your help is needed.
    Thanks in advance!

    1. CF versions 9 and 5 and radically different.  I wouldn't expect code written for CF9 to run on CF5.
    2. CF runs on the server, jQuery runs in the brower, the version of CF on your server shouldn't be relavent.  You should look for the problem in the HTML, Javascript, CSS, etc. in the browser.
    3. We cannot help diagnose your problem without seeing the code that is causing the problem and any error messages you receive.
    4. If this is a issue with jQuery on the browser you might consider posting a question to a jQuery specific forum.

  • Convert word into html in unix environment

    We are in the process of developing a coldfusion web
    application which allows the users to upload resumes in word
    format. Once the word document is uploaded we need to convert the
    word document into html on the fly. We know it can be accomplished
    using com object in the windows platform. But ours is a unix
    environment. We need some coldfusion coding which can convert the
    uploaded word file into html. Please take note coldfusion server
    runs on unix platform in our case.

    For step 3 call a 3rd party component such as Aspose.Words to
    handle converting test.doc to test.html. I'd recommend wrapping
    this logic inside a CFC.
    For example using Aspose.Words java object appears to be as
    easy as the Java code:
    Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.doc");
    doc.save(getMyDir() + "Document.ConvertToHtml Out.html",
    SaveFormat.HTML);
    Note: I've used the .NET version of Aspose.Words, not the
    Java version, but I've been pleased with the product.
    Aspose.Words formats supported
    http://www.aspose.com/documentation/file-format-components/aspose.words-for-.net-and-java/ com/aspose/words/saveformat.html

  • Migrating XI on clusters in Unix environment

    Hi,
    Has any one migrated an XI or an SAP system on to Clusters for High availability in Unix environment. Can one please help me with this. This is a very very critical issue for me and my job. Please help.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rashid

    Yes i have been through it. I have to plan, present and implement the XI system on to the Clusters, now, i know that if you do it on windows you have 2 nodes and you do some configuration on both the nodes. But on the other hand when we do it on Unix we dont have any nodes there. We only install it on a primary node and the systems admins do the rest. My issue is i have to do a homogenious migration of our present XI on to the clusters, Can you please help me on this how to approcah this, the question here is once you migrate your present XI system what will you do with the present XI system do we bring it down or can we still keep it running and if we still keep it running wht will be the confilict. How do we do thins in a step by step sequence. As far as i know we export JAVA stack first and then we export ABAP stack and when we import we import ABAP stack and then java stack. but my question here is when we install XI we install central instance and database instance and then after that we do some configution through visualadmin then after we install the other three adapter engine and .... on to finish the XI installation. but what happens when we do a homogenious migration?
    I hope i was clear enough and i hope i didnt confuse you.
