Starting to think about running legacy applications in the cloud

Many organizations' mission-critical applications run on servers located on-premises, or maybe in a data center offsite. Some IT managers resist the notion of moving to cloud-based applications because they're not sure they'll be able to manage applications where they can't diagnose problems with either the hardware or the software. But according to a Telstra surveycited in The Register, cloud computing has a number of benefits for organizations, including improving security, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. The article talks about common obstacles to a move to the cloud and suggests some ways to address them.Cloud computing use, in the form of IaaS or PaaS, is more common among enterprises than SMBs.RightScale's State of the Cloud surveyshows 88% of enterprises are already using the public cloud in some form.

Hello Aswin & Siva,
This sounds like an interesting application! There are a couple of points I'd like to address to answer your questions:
1. Provided the radio modem is "transparent" to the COM ports, you should be able to treat this like any other serial/VISA application in LabVIEW. There are numerous examples of communicating serially with LabVIEW, most of which are included with LabVIEW itself (Help >> Find Examples...)
2. The tricky part is what you mean by "foreground" and "background." If an application is in the background, is it running at all? If so, what is it doing? What (if any) resources are the two applications sharing (besides the serial port)? VI Server may be the best option you have for controlling which application is running. I would recommend one "framework" VI that is always running and communicating with the serial port. Use this framework VI then to control and pass parameters to and from the other two VI's.
3. There is a tutorial on our website that discusses a communication architecture for TCP/IP communication. While this does not address your application directly, you could replace the TCP/IP VI's with VISA VI's quite readily as they both use strings to read and write data. You can find it here:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/CD63FD0F746B17A686256F090065F572
Using a command architecture such as this you could control your applications remotely.
I hope this helps some. With more information on "foreground" and "background" I may be able to better answer your question. Have a good one!

    Different environments mean just that. So something could be causing it outside java.
    Additionally if anything at all is different in the execution data, such as even a name having a different size, then it would change the execution path.
    Which would cause a problem in the JNI code to manifest itself on only one box. Probably isn't a pointer bug but all sorts of odd behavior can result from that.

  • New Mac Mini Server, two Hard drives, Can I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    New Mac Mini Server, has two Hard drives, could I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    I haven't purchased a Mac Mini at this time and I may not if I can't use it as a non server. I need to update my system I would be better off buying a new Mac with Snow Leopard the last app that will run Rosetta. The Mac Mini Server has a quad 2.0 processor and 4 GB RAM and two internal hard drives and should out perform my dual 1.25 G4. I can run PPC apps on my G4 but it is 8+ years old and seems to be getting noisy. I don't want to tie myself to another old machine. I want a machine that will work with Intel Apps I was hoping that the two hard drives would allow me to boot from the second with Snow Leopard and use Lion on the first drive to be able to keep up to date with all my other universal apps and Mac OS up grades. The application I use the most is my CanvasX app with drawing & vector effects, text & typography, sprite technology, painting, image editing, and multimedia tools are all in this one app but will not be updated to run Intel apps. I am frozen in time because my most valuable Application won't be updated and Apple has cut me off by not supporting PPC in Lion and onward; Apple used to backward support but I guess that they are no longer as user friendly and concerned with a happy user. I have always been a loyal Mac user and I will not migrate to Windows under any circumstance; I hate windows!
    Thanks for your prompt response,

    I just upgraded to relaese to release 11.  My PC runs Windows 7.  itunes will not start.  I have run Norton to fix the registry errors and have rerated my PC twice.  No luck.  Can anyone provided a suggested solution?

    This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
    I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
    Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
    - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    - iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
    - Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
    - Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
    - Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
    Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
    Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!

  • I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform.  Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

    I would like to run a stock analysis program called Toolkit 6 on my Macbook Pro, but it only works on the Windows platform.  Is there software that allows me to run Windows applications on the Mac?

    Yes it's MS Windows! You will need a license of MS Windows (preferable Windows 7) and from there you can decide on the strategy for running Windows on your iMac. You can use Boot Camp (you already have this) or you use virtualization software such as Parallels or Fusion. For your situation I'd recommend virtualization software. However for only one program I'd do some due diligence to see if there is a OS X version. You can start with the App store or simply use Google to search.

  • Trying to open Terminal I get;You are not authorised to run this application. The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.

    Hi There Y'all,
    I have recently downloaded MacKeeper. It ran OK for a bit, but has recently stopped allowing Internet security updates and switching on of the internet protection options.
    Asked for help at MacKeeper. Their initial advice did not work, so a very nice technician was going to remotely attempt to fix the issue.
    He however needed/still needs access to Terminal, a to me unbeknown Utility feature of my MacBook pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    While attempting to open Terminal the following came up
    You are not authorised to run this application.
    The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.
    Did do a diskverify permission and repair and restart.
    Did check my admin settings in advanced options and have the /bin/bash.
    Any advice anyone.
    Thanks.
    in site out

    After finally localing private/etc/shells through Go>Go to folder and replacing the empty shells with the shells~orig I have permission again to open Terminal. Thanks. Another step.
    (Why though can't I access  /private/etc/...  through Finder's search?)
    Should work but the file or folder needs to exists to access it.  If you typed in /private/etc/shells and the file wasn't there there's no place to access.  Certainly /private/etc was there so that would have worked.
    So what will happen by inputting the lines
    ls -Fvl /bin/bash
    ls -Fvl /etc/shells
    more /etc/shells
    into Terminal?
    Basically to find out what you already seemed to find out.  The first command was to display owner, group, and permissions of  /bin/bash and to tell me whether it still existed.
    Similarly for /etc/shells.
    And the last command would have just displayed what was in /etc/shells.
    By the way /private/etc and /etc are the same folder.

  • Deploying ADF application to the cloud

    I had been deploying a simple adf application to the cloud trying to get simple basic authentication working with cloud based roles.  Yesterday I made a change and the application failed to deploy, and despite reverting changes I still am unable to deploy.
    I have since created new ADF applications, and cannot get them to deploy in the cloud either, while they do deploy on my local wls instance.  The error in the service log is
    User defined listener com.sun.faces.config.ConfigureListener failed: java.lang.InternalError: oracle/adfinternal/controller/resource/AdfcMessagesArb.<clinit>()V.
    Googling on the error shows it to be an issue with versions, or a corruption of a jar file.  I did get a similar error deploying to my local when I forgot to add the library-ref for jsf 1.2 to my weblogic.xml.
    Jdev version is 11.1.1.6, java cloud service version is 13.1.
    Is there any way to get more logging that what is returned by the cloud sdk client for the service log?
    I'm going to try a reinstall of jdev.  Any other suggestions?

    I uninstalled jdev, deleted the entire dir <user>/AppData/Roaming/Jdeveloper, and reinstalled jdev.
    After this I am able to deploy again.

  • Running Local Applications accross the Internet

    Am working on a topic in which am required to run applications accross the internet. the basic elements of this are:
    Connecting to a database and a client sending and receiving data.
    Sending execute request to execute .exe or batch files on the server.
    Enabling some components of a legacy software GUI to appear to a client through an applet and the client can input data and it is sent to the server.
    Create folders and files on server and send data to that server.
    View Maps on the internet in a webpage by client
    For these am just new to Java, am asking for advice how best to do it and what books, internet sites and materials are good. I dont want to take too much time on it.
    Thank you.

    The better solution, from my point of view is to build a Swing application that is adapted to an applet. Books: Search for swing books. See the tutorial on the sun site. Also search the web. Another thing go to the Swing forum and see what they say there.

  • What am I doing wrong when running multiple applications with the Web Server enabled ?

    I am running multiple Vi's (applications) on the same Nt Workstation and the Web Server is enable for all applications. However, I am able to view only one Panel from the browser. Only the first application that is started can be viewed. What am I doing wrong ?

    Only one application can act as a web server at the default http port 80.
    To solve this either run all VIs into a single application or use different
    http ports for each application. For example an application can use the
    default port 80 and others use ports 8080, 8081, 8082 etc.
    In the browser, you enter the URL for non default ports as
    http://hostname:8080/...

  • How do I run Java7 Applications from the desktop

    I have a large application developed under the Eclipse RCP platform that I'd like to run on my Mac Pro.
    Previously, this was a Java 6 program, that I just clicked on in the finder, and it would start.
    This is a packaged app, not a applet or webpage.  The authors just recently updated the program to require Java 7 (of course - if it ain't broke - fix it).
    I installed Java 7  on my computer, and if I type Java -version it returns with Java 1.7.0_40-b43 as a version.  However, if I display the application in the desktop, and try to start it, it says it only has Java 6 installed, and I need to update to Java 7.  The Finder knows that it's an app, but the version of software displayed by the application is 1.6.0_65.
    Any way to make the Finder use the right version?
    Later-
    David

    It seems that the JDK proposed by Oracle does not include the possibility to run bundled applications directly (dont know why). I've succeeded in a similar case by following the instructions posted here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411361#c20

  • How to run another application in the project?

    Well, the title says it all really. I created a new
    application within my existing project but I can't get it to run as

    How can I get the other application to test and/or

    Managing launch configurations
    Launch configurations are used both to run and to debug
    applications. Flex Builder provides a default launch configuration
    for Flex and ActionScript applications. When you first run or debug
    a project, a project-specific launch
    configuration is created. You edit the launch configuration
    to change the default main application file. You can also
    modify the default launch path to run or debug in the
    stand-alone Flash Player rather than in a web browser.
    Creating or editing a launch configuration
    When you create and build a project, it is ready to be run or
    debugged. Both running and debugging of the applica-
    tions in your project are controlled by a launch
    configuration. By default, Flex Builder creates a launch
    configuration for each of the application files in your project the
    first time you run or debug them. The configurations are based on
    the default Flex application configuration, and you can edit them
    as necessary.
    Launch configurations are managed in the Create, Manage, and
    Run Configurations dialog box.

  • Legacy Applications on Creative Cloud

    Hi Everyone,
    I have been reading through the benefits of Creative Cloud and I quite like the thought of a platform that allows the users to download and work with the required applications on their own. I also read that Creative Cloud has the ability to publish Legacy Applications, but they seem to make mention of CS6 only? I was wondering if we there is a way to publish older versions, such as CS4? Maybe this is something that Adobe does not offer on their CC servers, but could this be done through a localised server such as Adobe Update Server Setup Tool?
    Kind Regards,
    Stuart Wepener

    CS6 only... as far as I know (I do not work for Adobe) NO version prior to CS6 is sold by Adobe... and most likely will not be sold, due to the work going into new programs

  • Thinking about using Time Machine for the first time...

    I just assume that updates are inherently good to have, regardless of what it's for. I figure that the developers know a lot more than I do regarding the optimization or improvement of their own software, so I simply allow their download. I'm thinking about using my Time Machine for the first time and reverting back to the pre-9.1 install, if that's even possible. Things were working fine for me and now there are all kinds of issues with communication between my Axiom Pro 61 and Logic. Nothing responds through Hypercontrol anymore, and I don't expect any updates from M-Audio until at least 2012. Anyone else thinking about taking this route?

    Yes, I did. I opened that version immediately after I discovered that 9.1 had that effect and the controller was still inoperative. Of course, I still have MIDI input and PB/Mod wheel control, but that's about it. Everything else would need to be manually loaded, which the Pro series is supposed to do automatically. I haven't restarted my iMac yet, nor have I tried removing the keyboard from the computer altogether and perhaps reconnecting it. Maybe that would reset it...
