Pre-Flight Checker for Solaris 11 Now Available in New Version

The Pre-Flight Checker tool designed by Stefan Schneider, et al., at Oracle Systems ISV Engineering, is now available in a new version. The tool, which is available for free download here, lets users know whether a particular app will work on Solaris 11 without modification. Included in the latest version are such features as:

Fully globalized product, currently with support for English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese
Now detects issues due to static linking of system libs
Now detects mutex alignment issues
Now also has kernel checker to check usage of private kernel interfaces (binary as well source scanner)
An improved script scanner to flag issues due to usage of removed, relocated commands as well as issues due to usage of ksh93 in Solaris 11 ( instead of the old ksh88 in Solaris 10 and earlier ).
