DUMPAAEnable version B
The Solaris-to-HP-UX Porting Kit (SHPK) is a portingenvironment for
enterprise businesses to automate Solaris to HP-UX migration -further reducing
the TCO of a HP-UX solution.
SHPK is a result of HP's commitment to make migrationexperience as painless as
possible for customers. SHPK automates the migrationof Solaris-based
applications to drastically reduce the time and effort ittakes for them to be up
and running on HP-UX.
SHPK Components
- Estimating migration effort - The sh_src_scanner tool, included in SHPK,
scans C and C++ sources and lists out all the changes that must be made in
order to migrate them to HP-UX. The tool also points out changes that can be
automated by SHPK. For a more comprehensive planning tool, we recommend the
usage of HP Software Transition Kit.
- Addressing toolset differences - The compiler tools options in HP
compilers are different from those in Sun compilers. In addition, tools such
as csh, mkdir support different options. SHPK provides driver programs that
translate these options from Solaris to HP-UX.
- Addressing API differences - Many APIs in HP-UX are different from those
in Solaris in terms of their usage and parameters. Some Solaris APIs have no
equivalents in HP-UX. SHPK provides a migration environment that addresses
these differences.
Addressing makefile changes - Migrating from Solaris to HP-UX requires
manual modification of makefiles to address differences in the build
environment. SHPK provides make tools that minimize such changes.
