We have a WebSphere Portal Cluster V8.5 on AIX PowerPC OS. i want to move it to one of the Linux Based OS such as (RedHat, CentOS, Oracle etc..). Is it possible? how is it done? is it enough to copy the installation folder from AIX to Linux /usr/IBM/WebSphere/ or do i need to make a new installation on Linux and migrate the profiles? I'll appreciate the Help on this issue.
I have cloned a WebSphere Portal from one AIX OS to another AIX before, and i changed the hostname and nodename accordingly and it works perfectly. but never cloned a websphere portal from one OS (Unix) to another (Linux). and before trying it would like to know if someone has done it or tested it before.
Thanks in advance for the help!

it is best to do a new install and then do a staging to production copy of the system. I have seen the copy work between machines that are the same os, but you may run into java problems at some point.
Binaries are different. You need to install linux verison of Portal and then you may chose to do export and import. Even PAA would work in this case. We recently upgraded our portal version from 6.1 to 8.5 and also had moved out of AIX to Linux. We have followed the same strategy. If you fall into any issue, you may reach out.

i wanna make a script that will tell all installed application on system it can be Linux and windows both. anybody got any lead about it? need help!
I'm not too familiar with Windows, but with Linux you could:
get the installed packages list from the package manager, but it would not find applications installed outside the package manager
get the list of *.desktop files installed. This would get all applications which have a desktop icon. It would however still not guarantee that you have everything. I would suggest reading the Desktop Entry Specification for more information.
I'm trying to use Packer form Hashicorp to create VMs. The idea is that I can create Windows 10 VMs for for each of my assignments, and run those VMs on my "main" Windows 10. I have access to Hyper-V, and as of late 2016, Packer supports that too.
Grabbing several files from Matt Wrock's Github repository, I have created a json file, an Autounattend and some scripts. When running Packer, I ended up with an error saying "Error getting WinRM host: No ip address". This had gone on for 5+ hours, so something was not going right. Interestingly, the Hyper-V Manger said that the VM was there, and I could even log in. Then I noticed that none of install scripts had been executed. For instance, in my Autounattend I execute Matt's boxstarter.ps1 script to install Boxstarter, but Boxstarter has not been installed.
To get a better visual on the process, I changed the Autounattend.xml to have all WillShowUI properties set to true. Nothing appears. To me this seems like Windows 10 is not booted. Any idea how I can check this? Also, from a different Github repository, I found in a json file for Windows Server 2013 the "boot_command" with value aaa. Without having any idea whether this applies to Windows 10 as well, I put that in my json file too. Maybe this boot command is wrong?
Alternatively, is there anyone out there having a public repository which I can use to create Windows 10 VMs that will run on Hyper-V on a Windows 10 machine?
Got some good news :) You don't need to build Packer from source for the Hyper-V provisioner. It was merged in at version 0.12.1 so if you have the latest you're good to go.
Here are some samples that I used when testing it for version 0.12.1+:
https://github.com/StefanScherer/packer-windows - Samples for Windows 10 & Windows Server 2016 set up with Docker & Windows containers
Ubuntu 16.04, hyperv-iso, generation 2 (UEFI) https://github.com/taliesins/packer-baseboxes/blob/master/hyperv-ubuntu-16.04.json
Feel free to ping me on GitHub (#patricklang) with issues in any of those repos.
There is not enough details to tell what's wrong.
Try using taliesins basebox - Windows 10, he is the main author of the Hyper-V support in Packer and I expect his examples to work.
I have a set of machines, a mixture of Linux and Windows Boxes.
I hav set up rsync to pull from the Linux Machines to a Linux Server box.
I am trying to accomplish the same using cwRsync, to pull to the Linux box from the windows machines. I have downloaded the free version from https://www.itefix.no/i2/content/cwrsync-free-edition and also I have downloaded CopSSH. I have managed to install CopSSH fine and I am able to SSH between the Linux and Windows hosts no problem using keys rather than passwords.
However, for the life of me I can't get this cwRsync working, I've googled the matter to death, and your meant to unzip the directory, configure the environment settings in the batch file then install it. However, there is nothing to install it with! and the reason it isn't working is because it needs to install a windows service for it to run.
Any help would be much appreciated!
As described at itefix web page for the free edition, it allows to initiate rsync from your Windows machine, i.e. client functionality only (push data). Server functionality allowing you to set up an rsync server on Windows to pull data from it is not a part of the free edition.
I am trying to use the external tomcat server installed on my machine (Ubuntu 11.10) and I a going through the motions of adding a new server to Netbeans, in the Server Location field I enter the /usr/share/tomcat6 directory but it gives an error:
The specified Server Location (Catalina Home) folder is not valid
I have searched Google, used the Netbeans wiki, and have searched here also but nothing seems to be able to get me past this point.
Yes, Netbeans does support external Tomcat installations. It does so without any problems on Windows, but there are a few wrinkles if you want to do it on Linux - with Ubuntu-based distributions anyway.
I wrote up my experiences here:
http://www.peredur.net/2011/12/linux-tomcat-and-netbeans/
Hopefully, that should help.
Yes, it is possible to debug a remote Tomcat, see http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Developing#Q3.
I'm looking to set up a local server on my laptop which is running Windows XP Home Edition. I've noticed that it is impossible to install IIS on the Home Edition, but is there a way around this? Is there other software that I can install to run a server?
the purpose behind this is to mess around and play with ASP to create dynamic websites and my only computer I own has Home Edition.
Also, would running a server on my 5 year old laptop with 2GB of RAM be a good idea?
Windows XP Home Edition does not come with IIS (only Professional). There are workarounds available, but Home Edition was not designed for this. Visual Studio (full and express) come with Cassini, which is a version of IIS you can use for testing/development.
What is your desired result?
You can always install Apache. It should work fine on your HW.
This is what I use: http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/
The X1 version is totally free and works great. You can then add PHP as needed (or not)
Yes there are ways like http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020118.htm
If you are developing using Visual Studio 2005, 8 , 10 you don't need IIS.
The hardware should be fine as you will be the only user accessing the website :)
Download Ultidev Cassini and be happy...Ez to configure and use in both localhost and local network.
