The Oracle Solaris Preflight Applications Checker is a tool which enables you to determine the Oracle Solaris 11 readiness of an application by analyzing a working application on Oracle Solaris 10.  A successful check with this tool will be a strong indicator that an ISV may run a given application without modifications on Oracle Solaris 11.

The Oracle Solaris Preflight Applications Checker tool is a collection of scripts which allows end users and ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) to identify potential issues for applications which may not be ready to be fully executed on Oracle Solaris 11.


This tool enables you to check an Oracle Solaris 10 application for its readiness to be executed on Oracle Solaris 11 by performing an analysis of the following areas:

  1. Static analysis of the binary or C++ sources for the usage of deprecated, removed, unsupported or unstable system calls which may not properly function on Oracle Solaris 11
  2. Dynamic, DTrace based, analysis of a running application for it's usage of dynamic libraries which have been removed, relocated or upgraded (example openSSL) 
  3. Configuration files ( for examples locales) which have been removed or relocated
  4. Commands which have been removed or relocated 
The tool will generate a report in html format which lists all potential areas of consideration for a given application.

Any questions with the tool should be directed to the following email for OPN Gold+ members:  isvsupport_ww@oracle.com
