Open Source Advantages

Low TCA

Potentially low cost of TCO

Folks who love developing, higher quality level

Georgia Library Service (Case Study)

PINES system was the system, Y2K, expensive, limited

Issue: Did software drive business or vice versa?

Developed Evergreen, June 2004-Sept 2006 go live

Is open Source Free?

But, can open source have a lower TCO?

Absolutely

Your mileage may vary

Think PHP on IBM i

Zend Server CE is paid for with SWMA w/1 year support

Zend Studio perpetual license also included w/1 year of updates

DB2 is built in, Zend DBi (MySQL) is also no charge

Apache server included and supported by IBM

No user based pricing, unlimited user access!

The obvious answer is $0 cash outlay for POC!

What are the risks/rewards?

An open source project may

Become abandoned

Become forked

Licensing may be confusing

Open Source brings education

Industry best practices

Ideas on what to do or not to do

Strong licensing protects all!

Recent Survey by Northbridge Partners

Open Source Business Conference

32% of respondents indicate 75% of IT is open source!

Enterprise adoption of Open Source is at 40%

Enterprise adoption of Open Source is rated as #1 priority

by companies with 1,000+ employees

Why is OS so attractive?

Lower cost

Freedom from vendor lock-in

Quality

Mobile OSS growing faster then proprietary(Apple i/OS)

Project page

http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/index.php

Download source

http://collabtive.o-dyn.de/index.phphttp://collabtive.o-dyn.de/index.phphttp://collabtive.o-dyn.de/index.php

Download code

Code available on

Sourceforge

GoogleCode

Default location when I download was SF

http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net

Collabtive076.zip

Save the zip file and extract

Check out the readme

http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/

Readme.txt for installation

Six steps!

Unpack archive

Upload files

Make writable

Create MySQL DB

Point Browser to install.php

Cleanup

Tar and untar?

Files are already extracted

I prefer to tar them

Then FTP single file to IBM i

Then untar

7-Zip does good job of creating and extracting .tar

.tar = tape archive (Think SAVF)

Unzip the .zip then tar

Create directory on PC called collabtive076

Unzip files from download to the new directory

Open 7zip and select the directory & click add

Enter name, select archive type tar & click OK

Archive is created

FTP archive to docroot of IBM i

www/zendsvr/htdocs

Green screen commands

Verify file uploaded

Time for upload varies by connection, etc.

Open PASE command shell via CALL QP2TERM

Navigate to directory via CD /www/zendsvr/htdocs

Extract on IBM i

Using the PASE command shell extract the file

tar xvf collabtive076.tar

-xvf means x=extract, v=verbose, f = use this file

Creates directory

Copies all files (thousands)

Send message to console for each file

When console settles down, your are ready to continue

Screen when extracting

Make writeable

Handful of files that need to be writable by web server

This is temporary

What is profile of webserver?

WRKACTJOB SBS(QHTTPSVR)

Create SYMLNK

Create a symbolic link to the collabtive directory

Simplifies the update process

Make writeable

Using WRKLNK or iNav, etc.

Change files to be writeable by QTMHHTTP

This is better than public, but not by much

/templates_c

/files

/config/standard/config.php

CL Command example for /files directory

CHGAUT OBJ('/www/zendsvr/htdocs/collabtive076/files')

USER(QTMHHTTP) DTAAUT(*RWX) OBJAUT(*ALL)

Create DB

Using phpMyAdmin under Zend DBi (next months webinar)

Create the database

Got privileges tab

Click add user

Select radio

Click GO

Run the Install

PHP script will complete the installation process

From browser,
