STS-8210: Solaris™ 9 for Developers and System Programmers/Analysts

Course Description:
This course covers new features and modifications to existing features that are of concern to developers using Sun Microsystems's Solaris™ Operating Environment, version 9. Attendees are expected to already be familiar with application development on Solaris™. This course concentrates on changes specific to Solaris™ 9, but the instructor may also discuss changes made in earlier versions of this system, depending on student interest and experience level.

New features and modifications/enhancements to existing features are discussed first through an overview of the feature's functionality and capabilities. This also includes information of why the feature has been added or modified in terms of performance, security, ease of use, and/or added functionality. Then, the feature's usage is examined by example. Implementation aspects of the feature are discussed, with emphasis on how the feature effects applications and the system as a whole. Performance tools and debugging applications utilizing the new features are also discussed. Feature administration is covered where needed, and labs exercises are provided to allow attendees practical experience after each feature disscussion.

Who Can Benefit:
Developers, Programmers, and System Analysts using Sun Microsystem's Solaris 9 Operating Environment.

Major Topics Include:

Threads Synchronization Time Schedulers Fair Share Page Sizes Kernel Changes The trapstat Command Debugging Kernel Changes and Additions Device Test Harness New System Calls New SVR4 IPC Calls Resource Control
