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!!!

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.

Mount a directory like WEBDEV in windows in Linux/Unix

I want to access the Files from a linux/Unix machine through a simple thick client . Is it possible to
mount a directory like WEBDEV in windows in Linux/Unix.

Here is a java based client that I've used. Just use the http://<hostname@doamin>/files/content for access to your files.

Opening a DOS Window and Linux Terminal

Can some tell me how to open a DOS Window and Linux/Unix Terminal window from within a Swing application using Runtime.getRuntime() (or whatever is correct). I've tried (for Windows 2000):
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(command);
But it does not work.
Thanks

Ok.. I figured it out for Windows:
cmd /c start cmd.exe // windows 2000
Does anyone know the similar command on Linux/Unix to opening a terminal window.
Thanks

Linux/Unix Server Monitoring in Same Resource Pool as Windows Monitoring

Hi
We are planning to deploy OpsMgr 2012 R2 for our single site infrastructure. We wish to monitor Windows, Linux/Unix and Network Devices. I know that separate resource pools are recommended for monitoring Network devices but can we have a single resource
pool that can monitor Windows as well as Linux/Unix systems?
If same resource pool can be used for Windows as well as Linux/Unix systems, what are the limitations of doing this vs using separate resource pools for them.
Thanks
Taranjeet Singh
zamn

Hi Tranjeet, In answer to your questions:
1. Having separate resource pools (in case of Windows and Linux systems) and single Management Server in each resource pool
A: Dedicated specific management servers for specific servers to be monitored from. (ie isolation of environments like test dev prod)
2. Having single resource pool with multiple Management Servers managing Windows as well as Linux systems.
HA
Cheers,
Martin

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

Upper case file name in linux/unix env

Hi All,
Can anyone please let me know if it is possible to generate pdf names in capital in linux/unix env?? I am able to generate it fine in windows but it always generates in lower in unix.
Thanks.

No, all files used or produced by Documaker on unix platforms will be lower case. Of course, there's nothing to prevent you from renaming the PDF file after it is produced.

How to ftp to windows server from unix server

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody please guide me how to ftp the files to windows server from unix server. I can do the file transfer via unix by using the shell scripts, where as for windows how can we do that.
Please advice.
Regards
Nagendra

Hi.
It's possible many solution.
1. Setup Ftp server on Windows and use general scripts.

2. Create general share folder on windows and use smbclient from samba.
3. Create general share folder on windows and mount this folder to Linux.

Identity Management for UNIX (aka Windows Services for Unix) Adding 2012 DC to a prep'd 2003 domain.

We have been successfully using Windows Services for Unix on a 2003 domain for passwd and group maps.
I prep'd the domain to allow a 2012 R2 server to be added and then added the IdMU role/feature on this new 2012R2 DC. Now the passwd map is still OK but the group map now shows full usernames rather than short names.
i.e. what DID show with "ypcat group" as ...
"infra-shared::65550:gfer,jhug,shig", now shows as
"infra-shared::65550:Garry Ferguson,Jason Hughes,Steve Higgins"
and so is not usable. I have had to revert to local /etc/group files on all our unix machines!!
Help/comments would be really appreciated!

Hi Gaz Ferg,
SFU 3.5 is used to installed on windows 2003 and windows XP. SFU 3.5 cannot used on Windows 2012, that makes customer cannot user NFS and user name Mapping services on Windows
2012. From windows 2003 R2, NFS is a build-in component in OS, we need to add Roles/Features to use NFS.
1. What is change in 2012R2
IDMU component, which was used to authenticate Linux users has been removed. Now a Windows server cannot play role of NIS Master server.
Passwords cannot sync to the Unix Machines. Maps can not sync between Windows and Unix computers.
2. What has not change in 2012R2
Following methods to authenticate and map a Unix user to Window user are available:-
Active Directory
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS)
Username Mapping Protocol store (MS-UNMP
Local passwd and group files
Unmapped UNIX Username Access (UUUA) (applies to Server for NFS using AUTH_SYS only)

Difference in read/write between Windows Vs Linux

Hi,
Can you please write, whether it is a bug or my ignorance. I thought, if a java program runs in Windows then it will run in other platform too, without editing any code. It proved me wrong. So is it a bug?
Ref: Fedora linux version 5
Kernel ver. 2.6.17
jdk version - build 1.5.0_06-b05
I was working on a web service. The server side program connects to an application using socket program and sends back data to client.
While it was working very fine with Windows XP. When I moved the service to Linux (above said linux). The program stopped working. When I explored it, I found 3 things.
1. I was using PrintWriter
PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()), true);
to write into the socket. It works fine in Windows but not in Linux. ie. it sends different bytes in linux. Thus fails. When I changed it to BufferedOutputStream it works fine.
BufferedOutputStream outputStream = new BufferedOutputStream (socket.getOutputStream());
2. I was using BufferedReader to read
BufferedReader inputStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
data from socket. It reads. But byte varies from expectation. The same program works very well with windows.
I used DataInputStream now. that works. but..
DataInputStream inputStream = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
3. While reading it was suppossed to read 2098 bytes, instead it reads 1448 bytes. It reads correctly in Windows, but not in the above said linux.
Is it a bug or there is a difference in reading and writing from socket between Windows and Linux ( even though it is same JVM).
Thanks
Sasi.

Thanks a lot for both of you.
I believe, \r\n Vs \n could not be the reason.
Because, I was sending binary data.Then you should not be using Writer at all!
>
With regard to "utf-8", I thought of that but I did
not try to issue it in the function. Because, I was
trying to send and receive raw binary data.Then you should not be using Writer at all!
>
Now, You may ask that why did you use PrintWriter.
Because, the data had unsigned byte values. Makes no difference - you should not be using Writer at all!
So I
converted everything in to char array and send it.Will cause you problems at some point on some platform unless you use Base64 or HEX encoding.
especially, whereever unsigned byte was required, I
used (byte & Oxff). It worked very well with
Windows. So I just go ahead doing other things.I use byte & 0xff for dealing with unsigned valued but your use sounds dangerous.
>
Here my question is, I assumed that if a program is
written in java and complied on jvm x, then
irrespective of the underlying OS, if the jvm is the
same x, then the program should run without error. Is
it wrong. If it is not wrong, then is it a jre bug?Your program will work if you have not used any implicit or explicit platform dependencies. For example, if in your program then you have hard codes a path as "C:\Program Files" then it will work on Windows (but then only if it has a C drive) but not on Unix.
Any program has to deal with a number of platform specific features and Java protects you from them as much as possible BUT you must deal with things like Locale, EOL and default character encoding.
No! Of course it is not a jre bug. You have coded to a specific platform and are then are suprised when it fails on other platforms.

Did you see my third point of my original problem
statement. How to solve that.Since I don't have a view of your code I can't make an informed comment. I think I can guess what the problem is but I won't speculate.

Launching programs from adobe reader on linux/unix

I am hoping someone has solved this problem before:
We use pdf for our product manuals and have a large set of examples that we want to allow the user to open by clicking a button. In past releases (pre 8.0 et al) we have not had a problem opening things and we still don't on windows but now, whenever we click on our open buttons we get text of the file in a browser and can not seem to change this behavior.
I have modified Nautilus and konqueror such that double clicking on our files open the application but this does not change the behavior.
Prior to this we were using a script - open script results in launching our application on said example file.
How can we recover this behavior for our users? it makes our example manuals all but useless on Linux/Unix.
Thanks!
Dan F.

Hi,
Can you please share the PDF file so we can investigate the issue? You can email it to gaurav at adobe dot com.

Can SAP be used with Linux & Unix...

Hi there ,
I got a query that whether SAP can be used with Unix & Linux Operating System ...
Thanks & Regards
Kaushik Choudhury

Ýes, Any ERP package can be used at any of the OS with any of the firewall or secure access systems. That is one of the advantages of going for ERP systems over custom applications. Custom applications are OS and database dependent while ERPs are mostly not.
SAP can be installed in Windows, Linux, Unix in various databases too.
Hope this helps you.
Reward if it helps.

How to execute Java.exe on MAC, LINUX, UNIX...

okay, I know this is very stupid, but can anybody tell me how to run Java.exe on MAC, LINUX, UNIX?
I know how to run it from windows, I have a batch file created in windows, will it work on MAC, LINUX and UNIX as well? (I'm not sure if on other OS, there is such a file type call *.bat)

See what I mean about probably wanting a beginner's book on Unix and/or shell scripting?
okay crackers, the only thing that I have to do is put
in the name of my program into "your program here".Not necessarily. There's the ClassPath, program parameters, etc. What you need to put in the "your program here" depends upon your program. What I did was allow the script to be invoked with command-line parameters and you could (depending upon your program) put "-jar myjar.jar" in the indicated spot, if your JAR file was runnable.
The rest no need to change. right?I don't know. What does your program need? Only you can answer that, not me. I just furnished an example.

Applet deployment in Linux / Unix

Hello all,
I have recently begun to use the javascript Deployment Toolkit to deploy applets due to some problems Linux users reported at my site. As I have no knownledge of Linux / Unix at all, I would be grateful if some Linux users tell me if the applet at this site is displayed properly:

Printing after Migration from Windows to Linux

We have just migrated 11.5.2 from Windows to Linux. I am not sure how to setup printers. In windows we simply had a UNC pointing to our Windows Printer Server and the Printers Queue. This was in the Printer Column and the Type was HPLJ4SI in the Type column under Install > Printer > Register....like this:
\\MYCOPRT03\PTS2245
Not sure what to put in linux. Currently we are getting this error:
Executing request completion options...

Chris,
It appears that these links are not savable.You need to refer to the docs in those threads for the steps you have to follow to setup a printer on Linux/Unix.
