Hi all,

I would like to know what all issues will be there if some application using lots of data structures are porting from Solaris to HPUX system.

Thanks,
Madhava

If these structures are written to disk, you'll have problems.
I don't remember if Solaris is big or little endian? HP-UX is big endian.

You might want to look at similar topics when porting to 64 bit.

Hi Madhavabk,

Refer to this
http://www.devresource.hp.com/drc/STK/newsol.jsp

The Solaris to HP-UX Software Transition Kit (STK) helps you identify and resolve compatibility issues between HP-UX 11i and Solaris, greatly simplifying the porting process. Its file scanning utilities use a clear methodology for code analysis, providing sound advice for each API encountered in scanned Solaris C and C++ source code files as well as makefiles and shell scripts.

The Solaris to HP-UX Software Transition Kit has been updated to include data and references for features now available in the Solaris-to-HP-UX Porting Kit (SHPK).
