Hi all,

We are trying to implement a Transfert CFT Solution on Solaris 10 Containers.
We encounter a random problem with file creation.

- sometimes no problem to compil and start.

CODE

-bash-3.00$ cftinit cft.conf
Initializing ...

Reading configuration file: cft.conf

cftinit complete.

cftinit failed.

No available solution from support because of containers use. Problem seems to be linked with Solaris zone.
Just one potential -> use of cftupdate instead of cftinit.
Why not ... not very sable but ... pending a real solution ...
Except that error creation file problem appears during receiving file creation too.

We tried to:
- manage OS permissions
- find path to resolution with DTrace
without success.


If anyone is using containers and found a solution after encounter that problem, we will appreciate help.
Thank you for your support.

Hello,

I wonder the installation succeed, as the "cftutil cftfile ..." command is required.

Just install and make a try with the SP2 for CFT 2.5.1 and let us know...

Hi Benoit,

Thank you for your answer.
We didn't think about this simple check.

We just install SP2 and patch 4.

CODE

-bash-3.00$ cftversion

Informations sur CFT Version 2.5.1 20081106

CFT informations :
* product = CFT/V2/USOLARIS 8
* version = 2.5.1
* level = SP2-4
* upgrade = 4
* target = sun-sparc-32

Host informations :
* model = sun4v
* sysname = SunOS
* machine = sun4v
* version = Generic_137111-03
* release = 5.10
* distrib = unknown

Synchrony informations :
* product = Synchrony Transfer CFT
* version = 2.5.1_SP2
* applied-patches = 4
* forbidden-patches =

compilation OK
start engine OK

No more problem at this step ;-)

We will try "cftinit" every day during 4 or 5 days to see if this random file creation error come again.
Usually 24-48 hours later problem appears again.
Wait and see ...

OK thanks all.
Seems to be ok with SP2-patch4.

Just one problem with encoding after SP2 installation:

CODE

-bash-3.00$ copsmng
accepting connections on file /export/home/cft/Axway/Synchrony_V4.0/TransferCFT_V2.5.1/runtime/run/S_COPSMNGFW
Copilot starting...
Invalid Encoding : 646-->NONE
Copilot is shutting down

Solution:

CODE

CFTUTIL uconfset id=copilot.misc.local_encoding, value=ascii
