Scipt which starts a Program only when another program is running

Hello again.
I want to activate compiz-fusion, but reactivate kwin when playing games on wine (caus fps will break down very hard when compiz is running).
Ive read lots of forums and tutorials and scripted this scipt, which runs fine and smoothy.
BUT when he activates for example "kwin --repalce", the output from kwin blocks further walking thrugh the script and it "hangs"
Do anyone of you has ideas to solve my problem. I welcome completly other ideas of solving my quest, too.
Thanks a lot !
#!/bin/bash
while [ '1' = '1' ]
do
if [ $( ps aux | grep -c wineserver ) = '1' ]
then
#WINE LÄUFT NICHT
if [ $( ps aux | grep -c compiz ) = '1' ]
then
echo Wine lauft nicht und compiz soll gestartet werden
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp
fi
else
#WINE LÄUFT
if [ $( ps aux | grep -c kwin ) = '1' ]
then
echo Wine lauft und kwin soll gestartet werden
kwin --replace
fi
fi
sleep 2
done

Start automatically an action only when another action finish

Hi all,
first, sorry for my bad English....
I am an Italian Architect, I use Photoshop actions mostly to manage many big tiff files.
I try to solve this problem since long time.... but so far I can't.. :-(
This is my problem: I woul'd like to use some actions in sequence launcing only the first one, and when the first finish the second starts automatically, when the second finish, the third starts automatically, and so on.
Example
I have 3 actions and a folder "X" that contain tiff files:
I launch action "A" that resize, colorize, etc tiffs files in folder "X" and put them in a folder "Y"
only WHEN action "A" finish........
action "B" starts and works in folder "Y", grouping logically tiff files in some layerized PSD files and putting them in folder "Z"
only WHEN action "B" finish........
action "C" starts and works on PSD files in folder "Z" doing some "save as" at different resolution in some folders (folder "JPG", folder "PDF", etc)
I hope to explain clearly my problem.
Thanks a lot
Emanuela

Hi Mylenium,
I will try to call existing actions creating a new one (?), but I tell you that I don't understand your question "Does that not give the same result, just only per individual file?"
thanks

Have Image Restore only when another object is selected

I have a menu of images at the top. When the mouse rolls over
them a new layer appears on the page according to which logo was
rolled over. When the mouse rolls over the image(s) i want Two
things to happen 1) Image changes from gray scale to color (easy,
rollover image) but 2) I want the image to remain color even when
the mouse is not over it and only change back to gray scale when
another image at the top is rolled over. Currently the image will
only stay color when the mouse is over it. I need the corresponding
image to remain in color when its layer is in view. I have thought
of a few ways to do this with putting each image in a layer but i
want an easier way. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Is this possible? Am I clear on what i want?

Read Program code from another program

Hi,
I would like have ABAP code which reads another program and displays the coding of it.
Regards,
Vijayakumar

HI,
The SUBMIT statement accesses an executable program rep. The executable program is executed as described under Calling Executable Reports.
The program name rep can either be specified directly or as the content of a character-like data object name. The data object name must contain the name of the program to be accessed in block capitals. If the program specified in name is not found, an irretrievable exception is generated.
The selscreen_options additions can be used to determine the selection screen for the program accessed and to supply it with values.
The list_options additions allow you to influence the output medium and the page size in the basic list for the program accessed.
You can schedule the program for background processing by specifying job_options.
Addition
... AND RETURN
Effect
The AND RETURN addition determines the object accessed by the runtime environment after program access is completed:
Without the AND RETURN addition, the internal session of the program accessed replaces the internal session of the calling program in the same position in the call sequence. Once program access is completed, the system returns to before the position from which the calling program was started.
As of Release 6.10, the content of the system field sy-calld at SUBMIT is copied by the calling program without AND RETURN. Before 6.10, the system entered the value "X", which was incorrect when the program was accessed from the first program in a call sequence.
The addition AND RETURN starts the executable program in a new internal session. The session for the calling program is retained. Once program access is completed, program execution for the calling program continues after the SUBMIT statement.
Note
When the SUBMIT statement is executed, the system runs an authorization check for the authorization group specified in the program attributes.

Can we restict a transaction when another transaction is running

Hi All,
1. Is there any way to trace which particular transaction is running? say SE38, not user specific, globally? It has to be traced programmatically.
2. Is it possible to restrict another transaction when one transaction is running. For eg. I want that when ST05 will run, SE38 should not run.
3. Is there any transaction to create custom event that will run autometically to restrict other transaction from running when one particular transaction is running.
Looking for your valuable suggestion/s.
Thanks and regards,
Atanu

Hi!
I appreciate the valuable effort you have given to analyze the problem. I will be more specific with my requirement. It says:
When we run transaction EA10 to create mass bills or invoice, the transaction is running fine even for multiple users firing lot of data in the production system.
But, but, when someone is trying to run transaction FPMA to do autometic clearing for some business partner/s the transaction EA10 is throwing error as Mass Block.
Reason: One table in EA10 transaction is getting locked during updation, more logical. But second transaction is trying to fetch data from same table just hindering the process.
Probable solution: Do not allow to run transaction FPMA when transaction EA10 is running. After total execution, allow to run the other transaction.
Both of them are creating background job runtime and processing as well. Stop other job running when previous job is active. SAP program, no change/s allowed. (
Any more suggestion please. (
Best wishes,
Atanu

We have to stop one job when another job is running

Hi,
I have a new Requirement. There are two jobs running in background one is delta load and another one is Full load. Delta load runs for every two hours( Daily 12 loads) and full load runs on sundays(weekly only one load) for 6hrs. Now what happening is Full load and delta load are running on same time i.e when the full load is running, delta loads are also running on the same time, Full load runs for 6 hrs and 3 Delta loads runs on same time. Now we have a requirement to stop the delta loads when full load is running. Is there any posibility how to stop the delta load.

Why does my custom device break only when VeriStand tries to run it?

Hello,
I have a custom device, it's been working for awhile now, today I made some changes to add some more functionality and now VeriStand tells me the RT driver is no longer executable.
I didn't change my build configuration or add any functionas that might bring in some external DLL or something that might be linking incorrectly.
Any thoughts to how I might go about narrowing this down. The problem is only at runtime in VeriStand. The built LLB has no issues, the development source has no issues, it's only when VeriStand tries to deploy that there is an issue so there has to be something that's not linked properly yes?
The system is not RT, it's just deploying on Windows using a PXIe.
Post CLD and when I'm a CLA when someone asks who I am, I can spin around in my chair and say "I am... the architect."
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't know for sure the exact cause, but I ended up just eliminating portions of the driver code piece by piece to narrow down what was causing the issue. It turned out to be a debug VI that I've used many times before in various projects, but which contains the "Call Chain" LabVIEW primitive, but aside from that, it's just some simple string manipulation. So I don't know if it was just some random edge case that only occurred when executing under VeriStand's own underlying LabVIEW code but for whatever reason, it was breaking the driver VI.
So, solved the problem, but the cause, I can't quite say.

Program freezes when a thread is run in another class.

I have a class that extends Thread, and then I have a GUI that needs this thread.
The thread class looks like this:
public class ScoreboardCheck extends Thread
    private int clock;
    private boolean running;
    public ScoreboardCheck(int timeOnClock)
        super();
        this.clock = timeOnClock;
        running = false;
    public int getClock()
        return this.clock;
    public void toggleRunning()
        if (running == false)
            running = true;
        else
            running = false;
    public void run()
        while (Thread.currentThread() == this)
            if (running == true)
                try
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                    clock--;
                catch(InterruptedException ie)
                    ie.printStackTrace();
}This is suppose to update the clock on the GUI. I instantiate the thread in the GUI class, and call start on it. This works fine, but whenever I call run, it freezes up....Either way it never does anything.
In the GUI class, how am I suppose to continously update the clock without this thing freezing up? I've tried implementing runnable in the GUI class, but that didn't work.

Thanks for the replies, guys.
When I call start it doesn't freeze. That's good. The only other problem I'm faced with, is updating the GUI probably every second. I've tried using a run method in the GUI which runs while true, but that froze things up....This is the point I'm stuck at. For now, I'm going to try what someone suggested: the Timer class. Is there another way of doing this though? Without the timer?

How to make form as read only when another time as user sees it..

Hi All,
I have a form to raise the issue. once the issue is raised it appears in the issue raised reports( that is form on a report )
so all can view this report and click on issue no ..the form with details appear .
but i want to restrict it , by allowing only one up manager to view the form on a report in editable format rest all can just view it .
how can i do this?????????
can any one help me with this ????..
my approach is like this ...
a column called "checked shud be added to issue table , then its values must be set to "raised" when issue is submitted for the very first time..( so it is zero when the end user is submitting it ).
when ( the logged in user =1 up manager or checked!="raised") then
form fields to be displayed as edited
else
form fields need to be read only .
Thanks & Regards,
Nandini Thakur.

Nandini,
If you edit any item, you can see a section where you can specify "Read-Only" condition. Here you can write your read-only logic using SQL OR PL/SQL or predefined conditions.

hello.
thanks for the reply. how do i create argument
constructors in Java?Please re-read my post ... you already have one. If you want to use it, simply pass in the argument to it that it wants. In this case it wants a URL (Universal Resource Locator). Please check out the java.net.URL package in the [url http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/]API doco.
You can build a URL like this:
URL url = getClass().getResource( "textfile.txt" ); // Just an example - where the file resides in the same location as the class file.

Execute a java program from an another program

Like we can compile a code from wihin a java file by using the following :
Tool javac = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
Similarly,can we execute i.e. run a java program from within a java file i.e. running d java command from within the java file ??If yes then please tell me how??

suppose on the Unix box or from a Unix script ( korn, perl, bourne, bash) you can run the following java program
java ${JAVA_OPTS} -jar ${GMR_APPS_DIR}/risk.jar -I -c ${COB} -r ${BATCH} -o ${XML_DIR}
in java you can do the following :
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
          try {
               Process process = rt.exec("java ${JAVA_OPTS} -jar ${GMR_APPS_DIR}/risk.jar -I -c ${COB} -r ${BATCH} -o ${XML_DIR}
// OR
               Process process = rt.exec("/export/apps/Tools/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/bin/startup.sh");
               // process.destroy(); if you want to kill the process
               process.waitFor();
               int RC = process.exitValue();
               System.out.println(returnOutput(process.getErrorStream()));
               System.out.println(returnOutput(process.getInputStream()));
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
empty the output stream from the script
private String returnOutput(InputStream is) throws Exception {
               String s;
               StringBuffer strBuff = new StringBuffer();
               BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
               while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    strBuff.append(s);
               return strBuff.toString();
          }You need to relace the ${} by the appropriate values.

Error is thrown ONLY when the job is run doe delivery creation

Dear SDNres,
I am facing a tricky issue.
I have a job that creates Sales order , Delivery, Billing.
When the sales order contains line items <=8 then the job runs fine and creates delivery successfully
When the sales order contains line items more than 8, then the job fails on delivery creation and the BDC captures error "customised error''
Doubt:
steps in manual creation:
1)I create a Sales order with line items > 8
2)then i create delivery manually .
After the above 2 steps i dont get the error at all in case of manual creation
But the same steps when the job does for a Sales order with line items >8 then the error comes and job fails.
Kindly suggest me as to where i need to look for the error.
Regards,
SuryaD.

Thanks for your response Dave.
Yes i am doing a BDC Call Transaction.
there is no BAPI.
Trickier part is when i execute the job through debugging then i do not get the error.
What could be the reason for this error.
Is it some error in teh coding?
regards,
SuryaD.

Why the form6i program disappear,when the program run

help

I'm not sure what the context of your question is but sometimes I have a similar problem where when I run my forms object it appears for a second and shuts down. I get around this by carrying out a full compile and then the forms object behaves correctly.

Start background Job when another is finished (NOT with the JobSteps)

Hi guys,
i need your help.
I've already searched here in forum, but i wasn't able to find a good solution.
I have this problem.
I have a program that create a background job with the FM FM JOB_OPEN.. SUBMIT report with parameters .. JOB_CLOSE.
I want that if i run this report again (20 secs after for example) it does:
- Check if there is an already running Job with the same name (means with state 'R') (This task is simply, with a select on TBTO table)
- If it's found, it have to create a new job with the same name that starts automatically AFTER the first running job is finished (don't care about the end-state of the first job).
I've already tried with pred_jobcount & PRED_JOBNAME parameters of the JOB_CLOSE FM but it doesen't works!
The JOB_CLOSE, creates a job in Planned state. But when the first Job is finished, the second job(Planned) doesen't start automatically.
In this scenario, i CANNOT use endless loops (wait until the first job is finished and then submit the second) Job-steps (one job that contains multiple steps) events (i have to start only one job after the predecessor is finished), because this report could be run many times and each job should be collected like a "stack" (only when the first job is finshed the second "registered" should be started and so on, until the aren't more planned jobs).

Thx a lot for your help.

Hi Veda
i can tell u but ... some reward points are very appreciated ....
I'm joking (of course)
Here the question:
I have a program (called A) that submit a new program (called B) with the JOB_OPEN .. submit JOB_CLOSE. The program B should start only if another program B (called before for example) is finished.
Here the solution.
I add a parameter (with no-display clausole) to the program B. In this parameter i pass to the program, the job number returned by the JOB_OPEN function.
When i create the JOB with the function, the "jobname" parameter is set with value 'G_DELIVERY' (Here u can change the name of the job as u want : this is the jobname that u see in SM37 transaction).
In the start-of-selection of program B i put a "waiting" procedure like this :
First i save a timestamp of system-date and system-time (called for example r_date and r_time)
select from table TBTCO all the jobs called "G_DELIVERY" with jobnumber <> from the jobnumber parameter (that means exclude itselfs) with status running ('R') -> that have startdate /starttime less than the r_date and r_time <- (this is the key of the selection that solve the problem).
if it is found (means there is another running job started before this one).
wait up to 60 seconds. "for example
repeat the selection.
endif.
When the job called before ends, this one programs exits from the loop and continues. If u submit more programs "B", they'll works like a stack.
I should say to u just one thing.... I solved my problem in another way (because i've changed the logic so this problem was no more) so i didn't implemented that logic, but it should works very good.
Try it and tell me!
Bye
Andrea
