Here is content of my .cshrc file:
# @(#)cshrc 1.11 89/11/29 SMII'm sorry, it seems like I wasn't clear about what I meant.
The command "sunstudio" is itself a shellscript. It isn't a binary executable. In Sun Studio 10 it is a bash script. It's first line is
#!/bin/bash
This means that when it is passed to the exec system call, the kernel searches for /bin/bash, and runs bash with its input connected to the script. If you don't have bash on your system, you will get the message you described (although there could be other reasons for getting that message).
You need to check whether /bin/bash exists on your system, and if it doesn't, install the appropriate package from the Solaris companion software CD. I believe the package is SUNWbash.

How to run lint in the Sun Studio 12 IDE

I'm a newbie to the Sun Studio IDE, and I can't find a way to run lint in the IDE. The C compiler does not give many warnings (unused variables, etc), and lint does, so I want to get the lint diagnostics within the IDE.
I can run lint from a terminal, but that is very cumbersome when you have many source files.
Thanks

I've inherited a large project and need to run Lint on the code. I came across this thread doing an internet search. This is my first time using SunStudio, so I'm pretty clueless with every aspect of getting this code through Lint.
I have been able to get the code compiled and everything is imported correctly into Sun Studio, though I'm not 100% sure how I did it.
Can somebody explain the above commands for me to add into the Makefile, so I can run Lint in the IDE? Or, explain a better way to get Lint running on the code in the IDE?
Thank you for your help, in advance.

Pros and Cons of the Sun studio IDE

Hi all,
I have played a bit with the Sun studio now and I want to give you some feedback.
First of all, my background. I am working in a team with about 20 developers, developing a C++ application on Solaris.
Last time I stumbled across an installed Sun Studio 9 and gave it a try.
Initially I was verry impressed by the great debugger- and analyzer frontends, they look nice and work well.
After using the debugger from time to time and really enjoyed it, I thought about testing the studio for all-day work.
So, here are my impressions and the things that keep me away from using it.
1. The default editor isn't very usefull. For example, I missed regular expression search (and replace) and the feature to mark columns. Furthermore I really missed syntax highlightning for some other file types like sql- and config files, or even the feature to create my own. By the way, the predefined highlightning for C-files is also a bit too simple.
2. I think the external editor plugin is a bit buggy too, because sometimes I have trash in files that I have edited before. But this can also be my fault, because I use gvim and some editor macros to do sccs-actions. I think the problems occur mainly if I use this macros. In every case the external editor is not really an alternative way for me.
2. In our team we are using teamware as version-control tool and it does a really good job. So for Workshop 7 we have some editor macros and the teamware-tools from version 6. In the studio I have found the feature to create my own version control profiles, but this is a hard way with many tries and errors. For example I have never accomplished it to set further status information in the explorer window, it's 'Local' all the time.
3. The studio needs very much memory, I think about 250 MB or so. This is impressive, especially if all the 20 people in our team would start sunstudio. I have found a hint somewhere in the docu that the studio can work in a client-server mode over a VNC, but I haven't tried it because I don't know what the admins would say if I start running my own VNC.
4. After I have also tried eclipse with the cdt plugin, I really began to like the source-browser and missed it in the studio.
5. All in all I hoped that the newest Sunstudio got a netbeans update, because some of the plugins that exists only for newer netbeans-versions would also be useful for me and my team. But, at least the latest linux-preview is also based on netbeans 3.5. Maybee do you have plans to update netbeans within the studio?
Ok, that's all for now ;-)
Please don't understand me wrong, I really like some features of the studio, and it's a great improvement compared with the workshop version 6 that I used before. But, at all for me the studio is still not useable in all-day work.
P.S.
At work I have only access to Sun studio version 9, at home I have also tried version 11, that is the reason why I mixed the version-numbers sometimes ;-)
With kind regards,
Maaz76

1. The default editor isn't very usefull. For example, I missed
regular expression search (and replace) and the feature to
mark columns. Furthermore I really missed syntax highlightning
for some other file types like sql- and config files, or even the
feature to create my own. By the way, the predefined highlightning
for C-files is also a bit too simple.The current IDE we're working on is based on a current NetBeans
and has regular expression search (and replace). I'm pretty sure
NetBeans 5.0 (and presumably later versions) has syntax highlighting
for sql (its got an "SQL Editor" module which I'm guessing has the
highlighing you're asking for).
We're also working on many new editor features not in current
Sun Studio IDEs. These are mostly parser based stuff like code
completion, code folding, and a class viewer.
2. I think the external editor plugin is a bit buggy too, because
sometimes I have trash in files that I have edited before. But this
can also be my fault, because I use gvim and some editor macros
to do sccs-actions. I think the problems occur mainly if I use this
macros. In every case the external editor is not really an alternative
way for me.Its very difficult keeping sources in synch between netbeans and
an external editor. If you can give us a repeatable scenario for
failure we can take a look.
2. In our team we are using teamware as version-control tool and
it does a really good job. So for Workshop 7 we have some editor
macros and the teamware-tools from version 6. In the studio I have
found the feature to create my own version control profiles, but this
is a hard way with many tries and errors. For example I have never
accomplished it to set further status information in the explorer
window, it's 'Local' all the time.We'll definately have sccs support in the next release. TeamWare
support depends on the status of TeamWare. Sun end-of-lifed it
4 years ago. As long as its EOL'ed, we won't support it. But if it
were officially brought back, we'd (most likely) support it.
3. The studio needs very much memory, I think about 250 MB
or so. This is impressive, especially if all the 20 people in our team
would start sunstudio. I have found a hint somewhere in the docu
that the studio can work in a client-server mode over a VNC, but I
haven't tried it because I don't know what the admins would say if
I start running my own VNC.The VNC model shouldn't help on memory. How do you use the IDE
now? Do each of your 20 developers have Solars desktops? I'm
guessing they don't since you're talking about 20 users on one
system. The VNC approach runs all 20 IDEs (assuming all 20
developers are concurrently running the IDE) on the server machine.
So VNC won't help in that case.
On the other hand, if the 20 developers have Windows PCs on their
desktop then the next IDE should help substantially. We're working
on having the IDE run locally on your desktop, and do remote building
and debugging on your Solaris server. This puts most of the IDE
overhead on your desktop rather than the server. This should be
a much better model for multi-user development where Solaris
developers don't have Solaris desktops.
4. After I have also tried eclipse with the cdt plugin, I really began
to like the source-browser and missed it in the studio.We're planning on some browser capabilities. Some are in the
planning stages and others aren't even that far along. But we are
getting repeated inquiries about a source browser.
5. All in all I hoped that the newest Sunstudio got a netbeans
update, because some of the plugins that exists only for newer
netbeans-versions would also be useful for me and my team. But,
at least the latest linux-preview is also based on netbeans 3.5.
Maybee do you have plans to update netbeans within the studio?Well, each major netbeans release has had so many internal
changes its been difficult keeping up. Our next release is planning
to be much more in synch with NetBeans releases. We're doing
current development on the NetBeans trunk (currently thats targeting
the NetBeans 6.0 release).

Welcome to the Oracle Warehouse Builder discussion forum

Hello!
Welcome to the Oracle Warehouse Builder discussion forum!
Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) product management and development will monitor the discussion forum on regular basis.
Please use this forum for asking product related questions, giving feedback, suggesting enhancements, reporting problems and requesting collateral.

Bonjour "Etudiant from Tunisia",
I'm not sure what you mean with "please give me the user/password".
As far as I know there is no online OWB available where you could try out the product (if that is what you mean).
If you would like to learn more about OWB, read online documentation or for instance the link that is provided in an earlier post in this thread.
Otherwise simply install OWB and try it yourself. The Installation and Configuration Guide is clear enough even without much experience installing Oracle software, and the OWB User Guide provides some basic insight on working with OWB itself.
Good luck, Patrick
ps If people are still expecting what Igor mentioned when he started this forum ("Oracle Warehouse Builder (OWB) product management and development will monitor the discussion forum on regular basis"), don't count on it; fortunately the product itself has been around long enough now, there are quite some users that can share usable insights and/or drop some useful lines on the new threads... ;-)

Getting used to the SUN studio

Hey,
Forgive my newness to the sun studio, but I have problems executing applications using MIDP 2.0, using the Studio 4 Update 1 ME. I can get the tutorials to compile and execute fine, but when I try to execute anything that uses MIDP 2.0, I always end up with a classnot found exception. I cant even get J.Knudsens muTank example to execute.
The apps all compile fine, it is just when the apps are launched. Is there something simple I am missing? I have mounted the midpapi.zip, mmapi.zip * wma.zip files to include the game API stuff, but my problems are solely upon launch.
Cheers,
KG.

You need to have MIDP-2.0 emulator mounted in registry and selected as default one, otherwise you are not able to it. Mounting jar's on classpath is not enough for execution. Otherwise, if have correct emulator mounted and selected, you can compile/run without mounting anything.

We encourage you to tell your fellow networking professionals about the site. If you would like us to send them a personal invitation simply send their names and e-mail addresses along with your name to us at [email protected]

This is easily done with dial peer statements . The dial peer in your originating router must route the calls to the terminating router first. That would look like :
dial-peer voice xxxxx voip ( the xxxxx is just a tag)
destination-pattern 45... (that would route any 5-digit calls beginning with 45)
session-target ipv4:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address of the terminating router)
If digitones are to be dialed after the connection is established, use the statement:
dtmf-relay-h.245-alphanumeric
You could also use a statement to specify the codec to be used:
codec g711ulaw
You would need multiple voip dial peers if the calls were going to different routers based on the dialed digits. If all calls are sent to the same terminating router, use all wild cards in the dest-pattern statement.
At the terminating router configure pots dial peers:
dial-peer voice xxxxx pots
dest-pattern 45...
port x/x (whichever port the call is to be terminated on)
prefix 45 (this re-inserts matched digits which are stripped off by the pots dp)
Repeat for other ports which will receive calls.

Xiaoying is a program manager in Microsoft Visual Studio Office Developer Tools team | This post is provided "as-is"

We want to provide customization of our applications (C++ and .Net C# both). Evaluating VSTA, it looks like a good fit, but really not good enough examples and documentation.
I have few questions or concerns -
1. What are the differences/similarities with VSTA 2.0, Can we try or use VSTA 2.0 examples to understand VSTA 2012?
2. Can we have some detail example for VSTA 2012 like the ones provided with VSTA 2.0 (e.g. - shapeApp samples which by the way no longer available for downloading!!! ).
3. The given documentation ("VSTA Sample Host Integration.docx") and example only illustrates the part which loads Visual Studio, creates, saves, compiles and runs a template project on C#.
4. No documentation available on how to work with VB projects/scripts in VSTA 2012.
5. Document tells nothing about how to provide host application's APIs for customization or overwrite any host object by scripting. In VSTA 2.0 I think there was a concept of Proxy classes, do we have similar concept
here too?
6. Debugging part is also not complete in the documentation. Starting the external process and running the Addin is not clear.
Please provide more elaborate documentation if possible. Thanks!
Hi Xiaoying,

General and specific questions on the applicability of Sun Studio 11

Hi. In an e-mail letter from Sun Microsystems I read about Sun Studio 11 to "utilize its record-setting parallelizing compilers." From this message I was attracted by the possibility of adding something like parallel processing, not by changing the processor (hardware), but by adding Sun-Studio-11 software to a Linux operating system. Now I already have a Fortran compiler, the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux, which is free and can handle Cray-style pointers, a feature hard to find in a free Fortran compiler.
1a. So for the most basic of questions, without having parallel-processing hardware, just an ordinary processor [a 1-GigaHertz (GHz) Advanced MicroDevices Duron central processing unit, in my case], is it possible to have parallel processing and thereby increase one's computing speed by installing Sun Studio 11 in a Linux operating system?
1b. If so, by what factor could one expect the speed of computation to increase over not having Sun Studio 11 installed? (If the gain in speed is dependent on the type of computations being performed, I imagine possibly using a Fortran code to perform numerical calculations using and perhaps searching for minima or maxima in a two-or-more-dimensional surface. So please give me an idea of the sort of gain in speed one could expect for these two types of activites, calculations using formulas and searches for minima and maxima among already-computed quantities.)
1c. Again if so, how could one just by adding software have parallel processing without two or more hardware processors? In other words, what is the basic working principle of the software to make the simultaneous performance of multiple tasks (multitasking or parallel processing) possible?
2a. Does Sun Studio 11 include a Fortan compiler?
2b. If so, must one use it to have parallel processing with Sun Studio 11?
2c. Or will the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux work with Sun Studio 11 to have a parallel processing capability?
Concerning hardware requirements I read that Sun Studio 11 requires a minimum of 512 MegaBytes (MB) of memory, presumably Random Access Memory (RAM). My Hewlett-Packard, ZE1110, Pavilion, notebook computer has 256 MB of RAM, but is expandable to a maximum of 512 MB of RAM. So in this respect it is in principle at least technically possible for me to meet the minimum system requirement for Sun Studio 11 with my computer, if I choose to increase its RAM. Somehow accommodating the cost of such a RAM addition, including whether one may have to buy two, matching, 256-MB RAM modules or just presumably one additional 256-RAM module, is another requirement. But before spending money for such an upgrade, one should first thoroughly investigate other matters to determine if other things are going to work and to determine what gain, if any, one could expect in computing speed with Sun Studio 11 and an additional 256 MB of RAM; then decide, based on such data, whether the purchase is personally worth the money or not. That's one motivation behind this posting; another motivation is for me to learn some things.
Lastly I would like to here thank whoever was thoughtful enough to provide the Sun Download Manager (SDM) 2.0, which allows the pausing and resumption of the 207-MB download studio11-lin-x86.tar.bz2 for the Linux version of the Sun Studio 11! Using a slow, dialup, Internet connection like mine having a maximum speed of 28.8 kilobits/second, this makes it possible to download that file over a number of Internet sessions instead of having to have an uninterrupted, 19-or-more-hour Internet session. Besides the invconvenience of tying up one's telephone line for that long a time, it might be even be difficult to have such an uninterrupted Internet session for that long a time. I have at least started such a download using the SDM 2.0 potentially over multiple Internet sessions. Whether or not I carry it out to completion could depend on whether everything looks good with Sun Studio 11 for my particular situation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for both of your postings here. I'm mostly trying to learn something here.
From Maxim Kartashev: "For example, if one thread (or process, or lwp) frequently performs an I/O operation, then the other thread (process, lwp) can utilize processor resources to perform, say, some computations while first one waits for operation to complete."
I think I might understand what you meant above. I guess lwp in the above context stands for light-weight process. And I think you may be talking about a potential gain in speed with just one, ordinary processor. I guess you meant that one program, or perhaps group of programs, could perform input/output processes at the same time it is performing calculations because different parts of the processor are being used in these two groups of processes. Then on "while first one waits for operation to complete" I guess you meant that if the input/output operations finish before the computations finish, then thread 1 that was performing the input/output operations will have to wait until the current computations ordered by thread 2 are complete before thread 1 can utilize the computational resources for its own computations; i.e., two threads can't use the same computational resources of an ordinary processor at the same time. How is my thinking so far, Maxim, right, partly right, or all wrong?
Now if the above thinking of mine is right, then it appears that one could have some gain in speed doing things like you suggest with just one, ordinary processor. And if so, I imagine that the gain could be a maximum of a factor of two for a program that requires spending as much time in input and output as it does in computation; i.e., keeping both the computational and input/output resources working all of the time without the input/output resources waiting on the computational resources or vice versa. How is my thinking here?
If the above thinking is correct, just for purposes of discussion with just one, ordinary processor, not a dual processor, and a program which does nothing but computations there would be no gain in speed using Sun Studio 11 and a Fortran compiler over not using Sun Studio 11. In other words, to increase the speed of computation one would have to buy a faster computer, buy parallel processing hardware for an existing computer and use parallel-processing software, or somehow figure out how to harness two or more computers to work for you at the same time with instructions from one piece or perhaps set of pieces of code set up for parallel processing using two or more different computers. The latter case would be a computer analogue or "two 'heads' are better than one," not human heads, but computers. How is my thinking here?
Here I am still assuming that it is possible for one processor to be used to do two different kinds things at once. However, I don't see how one Fortran program could instruct two things to be done at once. This is because I have not seriously studied parallel processing, I suppose. That is I am used to a sequential set of instructions that proceed from top to botton down the lines of code; i.e., one instruction or line of code can't be executed until the line of code before it has been completely executed. That is the computing "world" with which I am familiar. So how about someone here teaching me with an example of parallel-processing Fortran code how parallel processing works, explaining what instruction or group of instructions tells the computer to execute input and computational instructions at the same time?
Based on the encouraging information from one or more other people I have been able to use the Intel Fortran for Linux 8.1.024, if I remember correctly, in a computer with a 1-GigaHertz (GHz), Advanced MicroDevices (A.M.D.), Duron Processor. So this is at least one case where it is not essential to have an Intel processor to use the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux 8.1.024.
Is the Sun Fortran compiler free for personal use? And can it handle Cray-style pointers?

Sun Studio (12,1) is unable to find a supported version of the Netbeans IDE

Hi all,
We're working on upgrading both the hardware and software on our application currently, and part of this involves upgrading our compiler to Sun Studio 12.1. I downloaded
SunStudio12u1-SunOS-SPARC-pkgs-ML.tar.bz2
from the Sun website and we installed it into the following location on our server:
/opt/compiler/sunstudio12.1
I successfully compiled all my code using the compiler, however, when I try to launch the debugger by typing ./sunstudio in the 'bin' directory, I get the following error:
{opt/compiler/sunstudio12.1/bin}./sunstudio
Sun Studio is unable to find a supported version of the NetBeans IDE.
Sun Studio requires a NetBeans IDE version 6.5.1 with NetBeans C/C++ module (cnd
2) enabled.
Sun Studio looks for a valid NetBeans IDE installation in the following order:
1) Location specified with --netbeanshome command line option
2) At /opt/compiler/sunstudio12.1/netbeans
I have seen references to executing 'prepare_system' on forums while I was trying to investigate this, but when our sys admin folks try to execute the command, it does not work (command not found). They've mentioned that they expected a prepare_system script in the directory where we untarred the downloaded sun studio tarfile, but it is not there:

I can see a netbeans directory was created as part of the install, but I'm not sure why sun studio thinks netbeans is not available (afraid my knowledge about netbeans is practically non existent):

Our server details are:
{opt/compiler}uname -a
SunOS a03714 5.10 Generic_142900-03 sun4v sparc SUNW,T5440
Any advice appreciated on how to get the debugger working. Ideally, I'd prefer not to uninstall / reinstall if at all possible as we're about to start system testing our executables, and I think a reinstall would require more unit teting and delays to our project (yikes!). But any input would be appreciated here.
Thanks,
Brendan.

Hi David,
First off - thanks for the response. I do have some follow up questions if you don't mind though:
1. When you say the install is corrupted, do you suspect
- the file I downloaded from the website either was corrupted, or was not the correct file for my platform
- the procedure used to install the software was incorrect
- something else
2. Is there a logfile that the sun studio install creates which would indicate an error during the installation procedure? I'm sure our admins who performed the install would have shouted if an error was logged... but on the offchance that the installation does not 'shout loudly' for some errors, I'd like to see a log of the error. At a minimum, I'd expect it to say why the install failed, and what we need to modify to ensure a successful install next time 'round.
3. I successfully compiled my code using the C compiler from the install. My unit tests also look good... does this suggest that the install was at least a partial success, and would you suspect that my recompiled executables are reliable, despite the fact that I cannot launch the IDE?
4. Today, one of our admins telnetted to our unix server - not via exceed by the way, but he did try the following test:
- set his display env variable (he knew he would not get a display however)
- executed the sunstudio script
He did not get the netbeans error, and the process appeared to be running (as I mentioned, without a display) until he killed it. I've asked if they can repeat the test using an exceed session. I thought there may be something on his $PATH that I did not have - unfortunately this was not the case (although, he may have access as 'root' to something that I require to launch the IDE). My question is, would you expect this behaviour if the install was corrupted?
Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Brendan.

Sun Studio 11 on Linux: newbie needs help playing the Temple of the Sun

Hi!
I've installed Sun Studio 11 on Mandriva 2007.1 Free edition. I would like to play the Temple of the Sun game but the building process fails consistently.
I tried to follow the instructions on the following page
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/learning/temple_faq.html#
but still no joy.
The wizards throughout the building process request much more parameters than those indicated on the FAQ page.
This is the makefile
## -- Makefile --
## User: complex
## Time: May 18, 2007 12:00:44 PM
## Makefile created by Sun Studio.
## This file is generated automatically.

Build Successful
Total time: 0 seconds
When I execute, it says "unexpected exception has occurred".
Could someone more successful with this game please provide more detailed instructions on how to proceed?
I should get a string somehow which I should paste into the answer window on the game page.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi
CC = gccYou are using gcc. Switch to using the Sun Studio toolset, and all should be well.
