SQL Server SMOs - Installation and Configuration on RHEL 7.7 - sql

I am trying to connect to an SQL Server 2017 installation on Windows Server 2016 from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 box (both on cloud). This is one of the prerequisites for using the software I need (IBM Content Manager Ondemand). Now, Windows to Windows , I know that we use SMOs at the client and the list is easily available too. I, however , wanted to know if:
SMOs (via feature pack?) are needed on the Linux box (and/or the SQL box?) in my case?
If yes, what are the prerequisites for that and where do I find the prerequisite rpm packages or .so files?
Where do I find the exact .rpm packages for the said SMOs?
Anything else that needs to be taken care of?
Apologies if this looks like a noob question. I have literally zero experience with SMOs. Any help shall be really appreciated. Thanks
EDIT: Just wanted to add that my searches over the web didn't yield any definitive/conclusive results

SQL/PLSQL for mac operating system 10.13

I'm a newer Oracle developer student. Can some one help me about any program for SQL Developer ? Can I install it on iMacOS? I wantto really learn these languages (SQL/PLSQL  ) but iIdid not any idea if apps like toad can run on Mac many apps is expensive but which the best for learning and development
Installing a SQL client is simple. Just download Oracle SQL Developer
Getting a database is a different story. Don't even try to install Oracle on a Mac. I'm an Oracle database administrator with years of experience and that idea scares me. When I need an Oracle database locally I use sath89/oracle-12c on Docker for Mac.
I recommend that you read the Oracle developer license carefully before downloading anything. Oracle is commercial software and you need to be especially careful if you're not paying.
If student and school has agreement with Jetbrains then DataGrip is really good. Sql Developer is also decent and has a MAC installer available.

SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition Standalone Installer

I am trying to automate the creation of QA environments using Chef. One of the components I need is SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition.
Currently I get an ISO through MSDN. However, I want a single EXE that I can download and install via command line. I can't seem to find one.
My alternative approach will be to extract the ISO, zip up the contents, make them available for download on my network, download the zip, extract the zip, and run the setup.exe. I'd like to avoid all of that if I can.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Need help to select correct install file and options for BA\PDI

We want to upgrade our Pentaho suite from 4.1 to 5.0 version. Currently we use Analyzer for ad hoc reporting (which is installed on linux box) and Kettle (which is on windows).Plus this time we want to install repository also so that our kettle jobs are shared centrally.
With this requirement I believe I need to install both BA and DI components, since Analyzer comes under BA. But I can see that BA and DI have separate repository.
Can someone help me explaining which install files I should run and what options should I pick ?. I have 3 files pdi-ee-5.0.2-dist.zip, pdi-ee-client-5.0.1-dist.zip and pdi-ee-server-5.0.2-dist.zip
I would also appreciate if someone can provide me with correct link or video to help me with the install\configuration.Right now I am referring to http://infocenter.pentaho.com/help/index.jsp
You don't have to install anything, you just have to unzip the files and have to run appropriate batch file on windows and .sh file in linux.
For pentaho Data integration you have to run "spoon.bat" on windows and "spoon.sh" on linux
For pentaho BA Server you have to run you have to reach down to biserver-ce foler (i am using community addition) for you it may be like biserver-ee and under that you have to run "start-pentaho.bat" in windows and "start-pentaho.sh" in linux.

Failure installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express X64

I am having a serious problem installing this (from web platform installer and from the downloaded installer). I have a laptop with win7 x64 enterprise on it.
I have read the forums and tried all the solutions I have found, from permissions, .NET framework to copying the setup files etc. These did help move the install on but in the end it always fails for the database. I have tried following MS advice on trying to read the log files to see where it fails which is why I looked at some of the solutions but the fixes didn't work. What makes it worse is the solutions for retrying the install (removal of things from the registry) has made things worse on the laptop as other stings stop working every time I remove the SQL keys.
I was hoping someone here could look over the logs to see if they could give me a better indication of whats wrong. Problem is I can't see a way of attaching a zip file here

How to migrate WebSphere app with no WAR/EAR file

I am to migrate a Websphere machine (including the applications which run on it) to a new machine. They wanted a clean install of the OS and WebSphere, so I did that. I also took a full file backup of all of the applications they had on the old server. The problem is that to re-install them on the new server, the WebSphere dialog asks me for the JAR/EAR/WAR file, which I don't have.
Is there any reasonably easy way to simply extract the backup of the WebSphere application files I have taken from the old maching, and simply configure the new machine to use them? WAR, etc. is a nice feature to have, but to be forced to use it seems silly.
Edit: The existing WebSphere server is still up and running in production.
Edit: The old server is WAS 3.5, which means it doesn't even have an export function, sadly. Also, the directory where it actually runs the content from has a completely different structure (consisting of like a a %/Web and %/Servlet, where % is the context path of the application). In the "Install" section, it doesn't even mention EAR or WAR, only JAR. I am currently thinking that perhaps the best thing to do might be to just copy the directory over to another WAS 3.5 system and then upgrade that system (and hope it converts the folder structure and updated the config as part of the upgrade).
Edit: The closest thing I have found to a solution so far is this link:
http://www.javazoom.net/services/newsletter/was4.html (though I am not sure if that tool is available or relevant for WAS 7.x).
This has to be a problem other people have run into before, but I can't find a solution anywhere on the WEB.
Thank you!
Here do they have sample Jacl scripts one can use to export/import appserver's configuration. So that is what you can start with. If your new bow uses the same version of WAS (and the same topology if it is not a standalone box) as the old one, it might be a (relatively) safe process.
Migration between different versions of Websphere might be somewhat more tricky, but I'm sure IBM published at least one redbook on that topic.
If you still have the old server running, than just export the apps and you have the war/ear files. However, If you don't know the configuration for the apps, you are screwed. However, I am sure IBM has tools that you can use. Some of the paid tools look even nice and user friendly (at least according to their sales demos). I can't tell you what you need, since I don't know what documentation you have for your apps. But as it looks like there is not much there, otherwise you would just install the application the same way they were installed on your old server and use the binaries (war, ear, jar) that are archived somewhere.
