Windows Compatibility Check for Linux
Summary: Sisense User shared instructions for downloading and using a utility file to assess Linux compatibility from a Windows environment. The utility provides key metrics like storage utilization to help in evaluating potential migration complexity from Windows to Linux. It is important to run the file on each Sisense environment or build node in multi-node setups. stevediaz appreciated the clarity of the guide and reiterated the importance of executing the steps as Administrator to collect data that will be packaged in a file on the desktop.
Follow the steps below to download and run the executable utility file to check Linux compatibility. This will generate a file outlining key metrics associated with your Windows deployment (such as storage utilization) and assist with determining the complexity of a possible migration from Windows to Linux.
Please note that running the file on each of your Sisense environments is essential. Run the file on the build node if you have a multi-node environment.
Download the utility file: https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/data.sisense.com/tools-4-customers/CheckLinux.exe
Right-Click & Run the utility as an Administrator on the Windows server where Sisense is installed.
For a Multi-node environment, please run the utility on the server you are using as your build node.
The utility will package the collected information in a file named “CloudMigrationInfo.txt” and place the file on your desktop.
The following are instructions on how to run programs on Windows via CMD:
Open the Command Prompt (CMD) by typing "cmd" in the Windows search bar and selecting the "Command Prompt" app.
Navigate to the folder where the program is located by using the "cd" command. For example, if your program is located in the "C:\Programs" folder, type "cd C:\Programs" in the Command Prompt.
Type the name of the utility "CheckLinux.exe" and press Enter.
The program will run and any output or error messages will be displayed in the Command Prompt window.
