What the impcat to my application if i upgrade 10.0 to 11

English Applications

Hi All,

I have a portable c++ application(binary size: 800M) run under solaris, aix,hp, linux and suse.

We have certificate that the application works well under Suse 10. Now we try to support Suse 11? Here are my questions:

  1. What the main impact of the upgrade?
  2. Is there any guide of the upgrade?
  3. Is there some compatibility issue?

Thanks in advance.:wink:

Is this openSUSE or SLED/S?

You expect us to magically guess what your application is and then to tell you, without us seeing the code or what it does, if it’ll have any compatibility problems?.. hmmm makes a lot of sense… not

if it is written in a ‘decent’ way, then there should be little compatibility problems, if at all. It’s you who needs to check on various things (libs, compilers, etc) and see if all is OK. We can’t tell you from here if it’ll run or not, especially since we don’t have a clue what your application is, in which language it’s written, what it does and what it requires and how it’s written

Perhaps your best bet would be to install the 11.x version on another
machine that you could test the application on before upgrading your main
box.

kev.

Allen, you have posted in openSUSE…as you can see from the other
answers most are not conversant in the pros and cons of SUSE Linux
Enterprise 10 vs 11…

suggest you raise the question over in forums.novell.com, where the
folks are more likely to have experienced and therefore valid views…

Hi All,

Thanks for all you replies. The version we use is SLED.

I am not familiar with Suse. So i excpect to get some help here.

My application is C++ and portable under the common unix platforms. What i try to do is to do some cerifictaion before deliver to tester and customer. Fix any issue during OS upgrade.

thanks.
Allen

To be honest you would be better served visiting:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) - NOVELL FORUMS

There are users there who are better placed to advise you.:wink:
