Oracle sysdiff , which simplifies old applications from Solaris 10 to the environment on the basis of Solaris 11.4. Due to the transition of Solaris 11 to the IPS (Image Packaging System) package system and the termination of SVR4 packages, direct transfer of applications with available dependencies is difficult, despite the preservation of binary compatibility, therefore, one of the simplest migration options was the launch of a separate isolated environment Solaris 10 inside the system with Solaris 11.4.
Sysdiff utility allows you to allocate files related to the application and transfer them surrounded with Solaris 11.4, without spending resources on maintaining a separate isolated zone with Solaris 10. Sysdiff analyzes the specified environment with Solaris 10 and forms IPS packages for executable files, libraries, libraries, libraries data, configuration files and other components not related to the operating system. Prepared IPS-paktes are initially adapted to execute SOLARIS 11.4 and access to files used by Solaris 10. The utility supports only the launch from Solaris 11.4, therefore, if it is necessary to transfer individual installations from Solaris 10 operating on top of the equipment, they first need to be converted In the isolated environment of Solaris10, launched in Solaris 11.4.
