HP-UX Software Transition Kit (STK)
The HP-UX Software Transition Kit (STK) aids in transitioning your
software to either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of HP-UX 11i To
transition your software and scripts, you may have to resolve issues such
as data model and API changes. Many tools are available to help you
resolve these issues. API file scanners are provided in the HP-UX 11i
STK, while other tools are part of the HP-UX operating system, are
included in HP-UX language products, or are supplied by third parties.
The HP-UX 11i STK provides step-by-step instructions for performing
transitions, a complete set of background and technical documents, and
file scanners to help you identify and resolve any required API changes
in your source files.
In the following types of source files:
C and C++ programs
FORTRAN programs
COBOL programs
scripts
makefiles
the HP-UX 11.x STK file scanners can help you locate and fix any of the
following which have changed or become obsolete:
functions
commands
path names
macros
structures and structure members
header files
language keywords
libraries
variables
One of the HP-UX 11i STK file scanners, scansummary, helps you plan
your transition by summarizing the number and type of API impacts in
your source files. The other tool, scandetail, helps you resolve those
impacts by identifying the file name and line number where each impact
occurs. Both tools provide links to more detailed information about each
impact. The file scanners can also identify opportunities for using some
enhanced features of HP-UX 11i.
