Solaris Application Guarantee Program Technical FAQ
Technical QuestionsQ: What is the Solaris Application Guarantee Program (GTS)?
A:
The Solaris Application Guarantee program guarantees that existing Customer developed applications written to the Solaris Application Binary Interface (ABI), will run in the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 Operating System.
Q: How do I qualify for the Solaris Application Guarantee Program?
A:
To qualify an application for the Guarantee, Customers must run Sun's free Solaris Guarantee Test Suite (GTS) against that application. Test results determine whether the application in its current state complies with the latest Solaris Operating System (8 or 9). A compliant application may then be registered under the Guarantee.
Q: How long does the Guarantee program last?
A:
The Solaris Application Guarantee is a limited-time offer. For the Solaris 8 OE, test suite results must be completed and the registration form submitted by June 30, 2002. Failures of registered applications must be reported to Sun by September 30, 2002. For the Solaris 9 OS, the last day to download the test suite will be September 30, 2003 and the last day to register an application will be December 31, 2003.
Q: How do I know if the Solaris Guarantee Test Suite (GTS) yields a successful result? Are there actual error messages stating incompatibility with the ABI?
A:
The README file that comes with GTS explains how to interpret the output to see if your application is compatible. You can access the Solaris Guarantee at: www.sun.com/software/solaris/programs/guarantee.html.
