SVR packages for jvm/jre on solaris ?

It seems starting with jdk1.6.0_12 there are no SVR packages on the download pages for Solaris? Is SVR packaging no longer being done? This would really hurt as SVR packaging handles multizone installation support for packages on Solaris10. A .sh only distro would require admins to install the jdk in each zone which can really become a maintenance problem!
Thanks

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I am still looking for a solution to this problem. You are right in that all Solaris boxes have Java installed, it is just that most of them have version 1.1.7 which is useless to me.
Do you know of a command interpreter on Linux that would allow me to run the Unix shell script? That might be a away to unpack the files and get at them.
As for a separate JRE install: What if a user did not have root access? Then, they would not be able to install and use my program. Thus my desire to package it all into one tidy download.
I would have thought that Sun would have thought of something like this. It would seem to me that it is to their advantage to make versions of these JRE's available -- More apps to support their OS.

When you create a project, you will be led through a series of panels,
where the last is Frameworks. Select the "Visual Web JavaServer Faces"

Can I legally remove packages from a JRE bundled with my Application

Can anyone help me get clarification on whether or not I can remove packages from a JRE that I am bundling with my Java Desktop Application. The full JRE is 90+ megs, my application does not require all of that. It was my understanding that I could modify the JRE as long I left the copyright notifications in place and did not try to represent the JRE as something I created. The license agreement is vague, at best. I was looking for direction or legal statement that allows me to trim out unnecessary packages from a JRE that is bundled with my application.
Thank you in advance for any input.

HOWTO Patch JRE on Solaris 8 on SPARC

Hello, I have been blessed with inheriting a fleet of Solaris 8 boxes which I have to patch for Java/JRE vulrenabilities.
Does anyone know of a HOWTO on how to do that. I just exploded the new JRE version in /usr and changed the link /usr/bin/java to point to /usr/j2res/bin/java. Now when I type java -version, it displays the new version.
However, due to my lack of Solaris knowledge, I am not sure it thats the correct way. I see that there are some coldfusion pricesses that are running on the machine and not sure it they are gradding the right new JRE version.
All you help and advise appreciated.

Hi,
Was there any workarounds for this problem?
I am facing the same with Netscape 4.78 & 4.79 on Solaris with Java plugin 1.3.1
Any workarounds/soultions?
I have a Sun Sparc running Solaris 8 Rel 1/01 with JRE
1.3.1 and Netscape 4.78. I set NPX_PLUGIN_PATH to
/usr/j2se/jre/plugin/sparc/ns4:$MOZILLA_HOME/plugins.
When I look at "about:plugins" in Netscape, I see the
"Java (TM) Plug-in 1.3.1" but none of the plugins are
Enabled. Any ideas???

How to check actual allocated and used memory for java process in solaris?

Hi,
I'm testing performance for java application on solaris 10. And I would like to know how to measure actual memory allocated and used for java process.
I'm setting -Xms512m -Xmx512m for my java process and I use prstat command to monitor it's memory. But I found that when I run prstat to check, in SIZE column is more than I setting (found 644).
So I'm don't know the actual memory that java process used. (In this case,is it mean the process use memory (644) more than setting (512)?)
Thank you.

With Xms/Xmx you specify the Java heap size. On top of that comes the permanent generation (default max size 64m) and the C part of the process (the JVM itself with all its libraries and data).
With "ps -e -o pid,vsz,rss,args" you get the virtual and set resident size of your processes.
Nick.

Creation of Add-on package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One Client

Please help me creating package for 64 bit and 32 bit SAP Business One. If Add-on executable is compiled with x86 option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 32 bit SAP Business one and if Add-on executable is compiled with Any CPU option then there is no issue of connecting Add-on with 64 bit SAP Business one. Problems are mentioned as below
1. My Add-on uses MS ACCESS connection and the connection is read using Jet OLEDB 4.0 provider. It works fine for x86 compile mode but not when compile mode is Any CPU. I searched for the issue on Google and found a solution to change MS ACCESS connection provider to ACE.OLEDB.12.0 but again ACE provider is installed according to the Office version i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit office suite. If I install 32 bit ACE provider then Add-on executable compiled with x86 version is working fine but with Any CPU option throws error as provider is not registered on current machine.
2. Secodly, our license validation activex dll is build using vb 6.0 and therefore when Add-on executable is compiled using Any CPU option, Add-on EXE cannot read from license dll. Any suggestion, how the activeX dll can be compiled whose component can be created from for X86 compiled exe and any cpu compiled exe.
Please help because we are stuck in this issue and cannot move forward.
Thanks.

Hi Alejandro,
That is one solution but did your add on used ms access connection? if you used Jet oledb to connection string or ace oledb connection string? what if 32 bit office is installed and what if 64 office is installed? how did you found the office version in install script? after determining the office version how did you installed Microsoft redistributable for ace oledb (32 bit or 64 bi )?
I am sorry that I asked many questions but these are the problems where I am stuck with the addon installer?
Thanks

Adobe Creative Cloud Packager for macintosh fails

Adobe Creative Cloud Packager for macintosh fails.
The error log says "[ERROR] AdobePackageBuilder - AdobePackageBuilder : SendPacket returned error : -1".
I tried 4-5 times.
Everything is downloaded (took about 14 Gb).
I now have only 12Gb free space on my disk. Can that be the reason (will the packager need to make a copy of the downloaded stuff?).
When I am done, how do I reclaim the space eaten by the packager?
Seems like it is caching it at ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CCP, but will I manually have to delete that cache?
I cannot find a menu entrance for doing so.
Would be nice if the packager could use a mounted network disk as destination, but it seems not to discover these.
/Peter Andersen

Wanted to join in and say this has been happening to me too. I wiped every adobe file I could find, and used the cleaner too. Started over from scratch in a brand new user account.
It's been about 7 days and I cannot get CCP to actually build a package. I've gotten a variety of messages but everything single time something fails. The new thing is that it says it fails on individual applications. So I disable them, and the error jumps to a new app. I can see that the .dmg's are fine and intact in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CCP/
Given the amount of time this has cost me I really wish I had purchased CS6 Master Collection for every workstation. From my perspective, Creative Cloud has been nothing more then a giant waste of time and effort. It's genuinely bad product from an IT management perspective. Why push off the job of building and installer onto the customer? I should just be able to download the full Master Collection dmg, and then turn on and off the apps I want. Instead I am stuck with a workstation down, and everyone using CC trials to work.

Acrobat XI Pro Install via CCP Packager for Enterprise unuseable - tips for the unitiated

Well, after at least six weeks of trying to script and package Acrobat XI via the CCP packager for enterprise (Windows 7 X64) I have learnt many home truths which I thought I would share with the unitiated. This process, from the point of view of an IT admin who has to mass deploy this application to 680 PC's as part of an updated SOE has been the most painful scripting process I have ever found of any package (we successfully deploy Office, and Autodesk apps!). Not only that, but our entire State technical colleges have all purchased the same version. This will be affecting IT staff across a huge area, perhaps worldwide. Below are some some facts relating to this that I will share so others do not have to trawl the minefiled of dead-ends and confusion that is Adobe forums/official documentation. Apologies for not finding direct links to all of the below just yet but I've run out of time as we now have MANUALLY install Acrobat XI on all of these machines. When I get time I will post some of the links:
Facts:
Acrobat XI and Lightroom are NOT "CC" packages. Therefore they rely on a spearate serial numbers to install standalone without another major Adobe product (eg Photoshop) to be installed and then run first. Otherwise they will run in trial mode. If your organistaion is wanting to install these products I highly recommend seeing if Adobe can provide you with these.
Without the use of serial number for Acrobat XI this almost renders the Customisation Wizard effectively useless, none of the silent install switch will work with "Offline Exception"
Yes, one Adobe employee notes that you must install a major package before Acrobat but as the aoplogies for not fixing this were posted last August, we are still in the quandry of not having any useable fix except for the ridiculous "Exceptions" file and Exceptions installer.
If you run the Build and/or execeptions msi's it installs Acrobat twice, gold Adobe, gold.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/6039529#6039529 - look at this for a working script for Photoshop etc, it's great.Thanks to http://forums.adobe.com/people/PetriRiihikallio for posting this. However, alas, it cannot silently install Acrobat correctly (thus far).
It appears that the msi builder for CCP for enterprise is fatally flawed. I have never had as much problem with installing msi's - ever. For example, I have had to re-package the msi multiples times and many times simply running the msi will fail.
The idea that all major installs have to install the 32 bit version AND the 64 bit version is riduclous, enough said.
http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2013/02/acrobat-xi-deployment-guide-for-large-firms/ this guide may be useful for people who have been given a separate serial number.
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/known-issues-acrobat-xi-reader.html another useful link
I think for the time being I have now wasted enough time trying to tear my hair out with this. I will be waiting for Adobe to announce Acrobat and Lightroom CC. this will enable the correct deployment of a single app without having the bloat my SOE with unnecessary applications that most staff rarely use. Ahhh, I love a good manual install via VNC/RDP, don't you?

Hi Waltpenner and others, yes it can be very confusing and writing script after script got me even more confused.
Now, the story continues, after 6+ hours on the phone with Adobe Support...
When you install Adobe Acrobat XI it asks you to install the C++ Redistributable package and this is where the msi will STOP INSTALLING. even though the MSI says "complete"
Now you think to yourself, OK, I'll write a script to install this msi package no problems, solved.
Nope, the msi for Acrobat Pro XI will Still Halt even if you write this into the script along with halt no err or something similar in your code.
So what do you do?
When you create your msi in Cloud Packager, even though this feels completely against your better judgement tick the box under conflicting Process entitled "Ignore Conflicts and Continue installations" This will (finally) allow you to run the msi. Please see the wonderful deployment script above, which you may still need to edit to your needs (I did) - which I post once it's working perfectly.
You could then install the C++ redist from Microsoft at a later date ----> On that note however (thanks Microsoft for this gem) the Visual C++ redist is an msi for download, but it's actually a zip file calling an exe inside it. I suggest using the App Deploy Repackager to help you change registry entries if you need to install this, but choose your favourite tool (and no I'm not talking about that work colleague you don't like
Note: You will need to install this for certain features of Acro Pro XI to function, most of which relates to sever functions of Acrobat. I will post the exact reasons when I find them. Under pressure to get this deployed, I have not deployed this pckage as yet. Also, I'm unsure how Visual C++ will affect other major apps across my enterprise just yet.
Things to still consider
Acrobat still installs twice in the program directory (1.7GB nd 1.8GB respectively)
As all of the other CC packages are quite easy to install, Adobe needs to provide better service to it's enterprise customers by creating a proper version of Acrobat and Lightroom which is Acrobat CC and Lightroom CC, not version numbers tacked onto their new Cloud Service.
As for the above point I would still recommend creating the smallest msi packages you can, as large msi's that install a number of Apps (eg all of the web/image editing apps) take forever and quite often exhibit install errors
The amount of time I've spent on this is ridiculous, and we've had to package everything from Office to Autocad.
The amount of bandwidth I've chewed up is excessive, with package re-creation (download) of all the products probably about 100GB - however the ability to edit these packages with updates with the CCP is a good step forward.
Using the CCP through a proxy is horrendous, and complicated with the amount of exception through the servers you have to prvide (even then it rarely works).
The MSI packager still needs quite alot of work. As Petri states why he had to write a script like this when Adobe could have done the same thing is beyond him.
Adobe needs to trawl it's forum posts and take out the many false leads and dead ends provided by it's experts.
When I Think of anything else, or wite more scipts I'll let you all know.
Cheers,

I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes. I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.
