Powerhouse on Linux issues

[Software Architect]

For number 2:

We are able to reproduce this problem if we set PHTEMP to the working directory that we are running in. 
It appears this confuses PowerHouse and it deletes the .sfd index because it thinks it is a temporary file. 

A work around is to either unset PHTEMP or set PHTEMP to a different directory. 

As documented in the manual if PHTEMP is not set, then PowerHouse creates a temporary directory phnnnn.tmp (nnnn is the PID) in the working directory and deletes it when it exits. 
If PHTEMP is set, then temporary files are created at the location PHTEMP defines and the temporary files are deleted at exit. 

Obviously having PHTEMP pointing at the working directory could be dangerous!

I don’t remember the right feature names and I don’t really have the time to look them up just now.  That said, I am assuming this is moving from HP –UX to some sort of Linux.  I am also assuming that Powerhouse on Linux supports HP terminal types, it is probably their UNIX code base so one would expect it would.  It’s been a while since I had to deal with things like that but one thing I would suspect would be the availability of an hp2392 or hp70092 definition in the termio or terminfo or whatever it is called on that particular variation of Linux.  We’ve had to copy such scripts from HP-UX to Linux distros in the past.

For QCTerm, write permissions on the QCTerm subdirectory?

 

Maybe it can read the SFD file, but can't write it back.?

 

When I put QCTerm on a Linux client (not server), I also have to make sure I put some missing dll files on the Wine drive.  (MFC70 or 90?)  Although I'm sure you got past that point else you couldn't have got it to work.

Hello All.

 

Anyone out there running PH on a Linux server?

 

My brother called and they are trying to migrate from Unix to Linux and have found two issues.

 

1)      The function keys are not displaying. They tried Reflection and QCTerm

2)      The .sfd file is disappearing after you exit QTP. The .sf file is still there. They can see the file by doing an ls inside qtp but it is gone when they exit.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Ken
