Tuxedo 8.x Unix conversion to Windows or Linux?

Hello.
I have a customer that has a big tuxedo installation running 8.0 that have shown
intresst to to do some research in the possibilities in going from a verry expencive
unix installation to a "intel blade" Solution.
As i can see it gives them two serious possibilites
1. Convert (rebuild) their apps to a Windows based platform
2. Convert (rebuild) their apps to a Linux based platform.
The apps are in some extent using system calls, and built in PRO#C.
I know theres a Solaris on Intel as well, but i think theres to mutch confusion
on where Sun is heading right now so i have sorted that one out.
What i would like to know is if there are annyone of you out there, that have
experienced a conversion like this, and if, what youre experience was? pros &
cons...
Best regards

Raoul,
To migrate to Linux seems to me the obvious choice then, because:
(1) Migrating to Linux is cheaper than migrating to Windows, since you will need
the Microsoft Advanced Server ($$$)
(2) Less migration headache with moving from UNIX (Solaris, I presume?) to Linux
than to Windows, considering those UNIX system calls
So you'll probably have less costs and less migration work to do when moving to
Linux.

  • Windows or Linux/Unix

    We are having issues with Discoverer Portlets not wanting to refresh, sessions hanging etc, my IT manager wanted me to ask the Forum on what platform are you running appserver? Windows or Linux/Unix....We are ready to upgrade to 11G and are thinking about changing the platform we run the appserver on. Thanks so much for your input!!!

  • MARS - NFS on Unix Services for Windows and deleting files

    Hello !
    I've prepared NFS server on W2k3 server with Unix Services for Windows installed. It works OK, the only problem is moveing/deleting files and folders. It seems like a problem with permissions for anonymous user. Does anybody have similar experience ?

    If you receive the following error message "Error ./pnarchiver Thread 2051:PN-0102:SQL error: ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied" then there is a Problem with archiving to NFS server. The directories for the archiving are properly created on the server but those directories remain empty. The workaround is that an inter operability issue exists between MARS and CygWin NFS server running on Windows 2003 server. To work around such inter operability issues, replace the NFS server with Microsoft Windows Services for Unix.

  • How do I re-enable the Markzware Q2ID conversion options window?

    I'm converting documents from Quark to InDesign using Q2ID. I want the option of converting plain text across from Quark. In InDesign, the only menu options I have for Markzware are Q2ID>Convert Quark document and Q2ID>Help. I've gone to the Markzware online help, and found that Q2ID has a popup Conversion Options window that allows you to convert files without styles. Unfortunately, this window has been disabled. Can anyone help me re-enable this popup window. Markzware help instructions for re-enabling this window follow. Unfortunately, I don't have an Options selection in my Markzware/ID2Q Menu. Can anyone help?
    Once you have set the don’t show option, in order to disable  it:
    1. Go to the Markzware/ID2Q Menu
    2. Select Options
    3. This will  bring up the Conversion Options window
    4. Uncheck the don’t  show checkbox
    5. Click OK
    Now, whenever you select an InDesign  file to convert, the Conversion Options window will appear.
    Read more: http://markzware.com/support/manuals/id2q-manual/id2q-conversion-options-window/don_t-show -option/#ixzz2tmY9PfJ1

    Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I think there must be hidden commands in the converted file coming from Quark or some other application that prevent the style assignment from working. Some of these documents appear to have been converted multiple times. Worst case, from FrameMaker to Word to Quark, then to InDesign. The imported styles seem to be hopelessly garbled. Even deleting the style, creating a new one and assigning it to the paragraph doesn't work. My conclusion is I must re-type the documents from scratch because the behaviour of converted files is unpredictable. Sometimes a selection will take on the attributes of the assigned style, sometimes it won't.
    Any thoughts?

  • Have you moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server

    I am looking for people that have moved from Unix/Oracle to Windows/SQL Server...
    Would you do it again ?
    Did you save money ?
    Were you using Zones to virutalize on Unix ?
    Did you gain or loose overall Performance ?
    Have you had to perform a recovery on SQL Server ? 
    Have you done a recovery in Oracle ?
    Were you using Rman ?
    Which worked better ?
    We are going through an analysis of does it really make sense, save money and effect performance to move from a strong unix/oracle environment to a MS/SQL environment.
    THanks Rob
    [email protected]

    Hi,
    All our R/3 legacy systems are Windows/Oracle.
    All the new systems (BW, SRM, CRM, XI) are Windows/MSSQL.
    It was an order from the management to make the switch because of the high prices of Oracle licences.
    The official motto is now Oracle on Unix only and SQL server on Windows only.
    We get the same level of performance as with Oracle, but we, old SAP Oracle grumpy admins, are much more comfortable with Oracle admin than SQL server admin.
    imho, SQL server may seem simplier but it is much easier to look under the hood whith Oracle.
    We have to reinvent the wheel and it's kind of frustrating but we will cope with it...
    I would say that SQL server is not a good choice for BW usage because there is a lot more litterature on BW database optimisation for Oracle than MSSQL.
    The official SAP class does not speak at all about SQL server but has several chapters on Oracle...

  • FTP files from Unix box to Windows ( Shell script )--inplemention in Apps

    Hi,
    I have an requirement like need to send files generated at a particular path in the UNIX sever into Windows machine.
    This should be a scheduler( can we create any shell script
    ) for this...
    Note : files generated at Unix move into Windows box....
    Please check and help on this... and let me know if any clarification required on my requirement.
    Thanks,
    Pavan K

    This is relatively easy to do. You will need to write the shell script code and register it as a concurrent program of type "Host". Pl see the Application Developer Guide (for 11i and R12) at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html for details on how to register a shell script "Host" custom program.
    ML Docs 266268.1, 147455.1, 1013907.6 and 156636.1 have some more info too.

  • Unix Files on Windows Server (read)

    Hi NG,
    we transfer form several locations files to our R/3 System (4.72) via secure copy (rcp with SSH). We do not know if the data comes from windows (cr lf) or unix (/0) or even hosts.
    Is there a way to read the file with abap and convert the files to windows.
    The files are ASCII or even EBCDIC (host).
    Are there function within R/3 to convert files from ascii (unix) to ascii (windows) and from ebcdic to ascii (windows).

    As I wrote in my question that due to compliance issue we have been asked to create the directory (that is currently on the same unix server on which our db is physically installed) in any other server (no matter unix or windows).And if that remote server is not available?

    How is the process on the local server suppose to deal with errors when it attempts to create a CSV file on the remote server? Or deal with network bottlenecks that results in severe performance degradation when trying to create a CSV file? Or if there lacks freespace for creating the CSV file?
    What about security? How is the local Oracle server to authenticate itself with the remote server? How is the remote server to protect that directory share against unauthorised access?
    How is this remote server going to provide access to authorised s/w to these CSV files?
    Who (local or remote processes) is going to manage this directory share and ensure old CSV files are deleted and that there is sufficient freespace for new CSV files?
    There are a LOT of questions that need to be asked... BEFORE deciding on HOW technically to do it. As the technical decision will be based on the functional requirements and how to best meet these.
    Technically - there is Samba, NFS, FTP, SFTP, SCP, RDIST and a number of other methods that can be used. But without asking the above questions and getting proper business answers, selecting a specific technical method is very much premature.
    You are asking the wrong questions, and in the wrong forum. You need to determine the business requirements first.

  • Unix utilities in Windows

    Unix utilities like grep, sed, tail etc commands can be used in Windows platform. And it will be very effective for database management. So can anyone tell me how to use unix utilities in Windows platform, is there any software available?
    Regards

    Another vote here for cygwin. Depending on what you choose to download you can get the basic utilities like grep, diff, vi, sed, perl, up to X-Windows software or compilers or <etc>. It's almost all the same codebase as the utilities under Linux so compatibility is there for you.
    It's the first software I download onto any Windows machine I work on.
    Oh, yeah, the license runs you $0.00. Life is good.

  • Transaction behavior changed with change in Windows to Linux Environment

    Hi All,
    I am facing a very weird problem.
    I have a 2 BPEL Synchronous Services lets say A & B. A calls B in its flow and B inserts a row into database and then retrieves the inserted row (as the primary key is sequence generated through a Trigger).
    This flow was working perfectly when:
    ·     It was on windows Development Box with SOA SUITE and DB Server on the same machine.
    ·     All the DB adapters had jca:Address information in it.
    Problem:
    ·     After moving them to a Unix box with a remote DB Server, I am seeing the problem that retrieval is happening before commit of insert and failing.
    Point to remember:
    ·     Insertion, selection, assignment all are happening in the different ‘SCOPE’
    ·     I have tried even putting them in a single scope but error remained same.
    ·     I have even tried putting a wait between them, so it’s a plain “Transaction not commited “issue
    I am expecting it could be an issue with the way Data source has been created or something else.
    Please suggest your pointers on this.
    Thank you.

    Hi Win
    1. There is absolutely NO changes or specific requirements to deploy a portal EAR created from Windows and deploying on Unix or Linux Env. We do this very often. I export my entire portal applicatoin (EAR, WAR and dataSync if its there) from Workshop or Eclipse (10.3.2) IDE as .EAR file. Then we can deploy this .EAR file pretty much in any Portal Domain on any Env like Linux. So first I want to clarify that there is NO need to change any files or do steps to deploy a portal EAR from Windows to Linux Env.
    2. Now coming to your error, the root cause seems to be this: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.PageFlowContextListener
    a) On Windows did you test your EAR on a Portal Domain. I assume you may have already did this.
    b) Is the domain that you created on the Linux Env and its version matches exactly with what you had in Windows Env. Say in Windows if you have WLP 10.3.1, then on Linux also you should have WLP 10.3.1. If not, you need to upgrade your portal EAR first in Windows to 10.3.x and then deploy.
    c) Compare the config.xml file modules specially the portal framework shared modules. They should be same in both Windows and Unix except for the location ofcourse.
    d) On Windows, by any chance did you deploy any extra additional modules in the portaldomain. If so do the same on Linux Env also.
    e) Other then config.xml file, all the other details are within the .EAR file itself like weblogic.xml, weblogic-application.xml file etc etc.
    f) So better compare you config.xml file in both the working and not working Envs.
    g) Also on Linux, are you deploying on Single Server domain or cluster domain. If cluster, make sure you deploy your portalEar only to Cluster because none of hte shared modules are deployed to Admin. So deploy only to cluster.
    Thanks

  • ODBC Windows to Linux

    Hi all,
    I have Instant client on a windows machine connecting via ODBC to my Linux machine with Oracle 10.2 on it. After days of pain, I finally bypassed the tnsnames.ora lookup and made a connection. The normal tnsnames.ora lookup never worked for me. I'm thinking it doesn't work. Ever.
    My guess is that the CRLF to LF windows to linux translation never happened in the ODBC dirver. Has anyone ever had something like DBQ=mySid; actually perform the proper lookup on the server and connect to the database or did you all finally do what I did and bypass the tnsnames.ora lookup server-side? I like the elegance of the SID lookup solution and would like to implement it if possible.
    Thanks for the help - Tim C.

    Did you do the dos2unix conversion of the tnsnames.ora file? It may work for you then. Please let me know.
