PHP driven Inventory, HelpDesk, Support, Issue Tracking, and Knowledge Base web application. Focuses on simplicity and ease of customization. Sort of a mini-Directory solution for SMBs using PHP and any Pear::DB supported database. OpenIT 1.3 represents a major step from 1.2.  Thanks to Aaron's (acolflesh) new "Lookups" section all entries in the database can be edited via OpenIT.  This means no more using phpMyAdmin to add Departments.   Dan (dancoulter) worked hard to get Active Directory authentication to work via LDAP.  This is an exciting feature for anyone using Active Directory.  The coding style is in a state of flux as we're trying to bring it in line with PEAR standards.  There have been minor database changes.  At this point the easiest way to upgrade your database is to do a diff of the old & new tools/setup.php scripts to see what has changed.  Please use this release as much as possible and report bugs on the SourceForge Project Bug tracker & forums.  Note:  From version 1.3 forward OpenIT will follow versioning practices similar to the Linux Kernel.  This means all odd minor number releases (1.3, 2.5, etc.) will be "Testing" releases, while even minor number releases (1.4, 2.0, etc.) will be "Stable" releases.  OpenIT 1.3 Released http://openit.sf.net  This version is availabe here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=111107&package_id=133178

InfoWorld - While Wednesday marked&#160;the official unveiling of Oracle&#39;s 11g database&#160;and a look at its new features, pricing and availability information was pretty thin on the ground. All the vendor would confirm is that the Linux version of 11g will ship this quarter, probably in August.

Gennady Feldman has posted the second part of his install instructions for setting up the Oracle Instant Client (11g) and the Oracle OCI8 drivers in PHP.   This is part 2 of my installation instructions. This is my attempt to provide an updated and simplified reference. I am leaving Part 1 as is, because that part can also be useful.   This updated tutorial shows the steps to installing 11g (versus 10g in the previous example) including the packages you'll need, the commands to make it work and a PEAR version of the install if you choose to go that route.

(InfoWorld) - IBM Corp. on Wednesday unveiled three server offerings aimed at helping companies of all sizes consolidate Web-tier Linux servers in their IT environments. In a press conference at the Linuxworld OpenSolutions Summit in New York, Scott Handy, vice president of worldwide Linux strategy for IBM, said the new offerings will help customers consolidate the more than 1.6 million Linux servers that are present in both heterogeneous and open-source IT environments. The new servers are for small and midsize businesses as well as the enterprise market. The highest end of the three new offerings, the IBM System p5 560Q, includes advanced virtualization features, such as IBM's Advanced Power Virtualization, which runs multiple partitions per processor. This allows a customer to consolidate 320 x86-based Linux Web servers on to just one rack of five of the new servers, Handy said. For small and midsize businesses, IBM is offering Linux server consolidation offerings on its blade servers, Handy said. For medium-size companies, the company unveiled the BladeCenter JS21 for Web Serving Farms. JS21 is a BladeCenter chassis with 14 JS21 blades, and also includes IBM's Advanced Power Virtualization. Customers can consolidate 168 Linux x86 servers onto just one BladeCenter Chassis with 14 blades, according to IBM. Small businesses also can consolidate 12 x86 Linux servers on IBM Bladecenter, using one or two JS21 blades and Advanced Power Virtualization, according to IBM. Another option for small businesses is to consolidate the same amount of Linux servers onto a quad-core System p5 505Q Express server, the company said. In addition to the new consolidation offerings, which Handy said customers requested, IBM also expanded a deal with Novell Inc. to offer an open-source software stack that includes Suse Linux to its Power and BladeCenter servers. The Integrated Stack for Suse Linux Enterprise combines Novell's Linux OS with a license-free version of IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition with Web-tier clustering support and IBM DB2 Express-C, a community version of IBM's database server. It also includes software from Centeris, the Likewise Management Suite, which enables system administrators to manage Linux servers from within an existing Windows server environment, IBM said. The offering previously had only been available for IBM's x line of servers. Handy said IBM has shipped more than 1,000 servers with the Integrated Stack for Suse Linux Enterprise since it became generally available in the third quarter of 2006. The software suite was announced at Linuxworld Boston last April, he added.

OpenSSI Clusters for Linux Leverages HP's NonStop Clusters for Unixware and various open source technologies to provide a full, highly-available SSI (Single System Image) clustering environment for Linux. Goals include availability, scalability and manageability.New features include several CFS performance enhancements and the integration of LVS-NAT. POSIX process groups and multi-threaded applications can now atomically migrate as a group. Also, processes can migrate while holding file record locks. New commands include 'fast' and 'fastnode'. Several files have been added to /proc/cluster for dynamic modification of nodedown detection parameters. Finally, a variety of bugs have been fixed.   OpenSSI 1.1.0 is a development release, and is not necessarily suitable for production use. The Red Hat 9 version should only be used for upgrading from OpenSSI 1.0.0. New installs should be done on Fedora Core 2 or Debian.  You can find our latest release here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32541&package_id=131632

(InfoWorld) - Open-source database vendor Ingres Corp. Wednesday named Infor Global Solutions as its first ERP (enterprise resource planning) partner since Ingres spun off from CA Inc. more than a year ago. Roger Burkhardt, president and chief operating officer at Ingres, positioned the move as signaling "the first step" in what he said will be a burgeoning relationship with Infor. The partnership is not exclusive and he also expects Ingres to strike similar relationships with other enterprise applications players, with a particular focus on meeting the needs of different vertical industries. Ingres represents an alternative to other databases in the market, including those from proprietary relational players Oracle Corp. and Microsoft Corp., which also have their own applications businesses. Open-source vendor Ingres has no intention of buying an ERP company and so doesn't present a competitive threat to potential applications partners, Burkhardt said. Ingres and Infor are collaborating on developing open-source software to run on the Ingres 2006 open-source database and Ingres Enterprise Access middleware, which is currently a proprietary-source product. Infor is in the process of certifying its Adage ERP software, targeted at process manufacturers to run on both Ingres' database and middleware. Ingres has a long-standing relationship with Infor and the previous owner of Adage, SCT, according to Burkhardt. Initially known as Agilysis, Infor came into being in June 2002 when its private equity backer Golden Gate Capital bought SCT's processing manufacturing and distribution division. In other company news, Ingres is close to releasing its first new product as an independent company. Currently known asÂ Project Icebreaker, the new product is a combination of the Ingres database with a version ofÂ rPath's distribution of the Linux operating system. The software's aim is to decrease the amount of time users have to spend on IT maintenance work by delivering patches and updates for both the database and OS in a single maintenance stream. "Project Icebreaker is on target," Burkhardt said. "We're getting good feedback from our beta testers." He expects Project Icebreaker to become generally available early in 2007, he added. Though still in beta testing, the new offering has already led Ingres into new customer opportunities, Burkhardt said. The vendor's hearing a lot of interest from companies keen to build additional functionality on top of Project Icebreaker and the concept is also getting plenty of play with SAAS (software-as-a-service) providers, he added. Burkhardt joined Ingres in July from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) where he spent six years as chief technology officer. He has welcomed the freedom of working at a privately funded company unfettered by government regulations. By contrast, at the NYSE, "We couldn't even dismantle a product that had failed without a sign-off from Washington," he quipped. Â
