Add a start trigger to ant WebAS deploy script

Regarding the Thread "How to generate SAP_MANIFEST.MF using Ant" I developed my solution to deploy an ear via Ant to the SAP WebAS.
Everything works fine but one thing I want to add is that the ear is automatically started after the deploy job. Now I have to start it by the Visual Administrator.
Is there a way to trigger the startup of the ear in the deploy-manager-config.xml?

Martin,
If you are using DeployManager API to deploy your application, then you can use
DeployManager.startApplication(vendorName + "/" + appName);
to start your app once its deployed.
Hope that helps,

Ant build & deploy script with CEP

Hi,
I want to create a build & deploy script with ant for our application that runs on CEP. I succeeded on creating one that is working well. I had one problem, which is that I now assume that the server is up when the script is running. I wanted to add a target to the script that will start the server if it's not running. The problem is that startwlevs script start the server and remain open. This effectivily pause the build script indefinitely. Does anyone have any idea how to overcome this?
Thanks

Just fork the execution of the script. Alternatively call java directly (that's all the script does) and fork that.

Can I add a new trigger to the beginning instead of at the end of a blank composition widget?

Hi guys,
I am creating a photo gallery page using the Blank Composition widget. I want to be able to add new content regularly by adding new photos to the top (beginning) of the gallery so my newest photos show at the beggining of the gallery.
Currently, the little + symbol to add another trigger only adds a new trigger to the right (bottom) of group of triggers, effectively putting newly added content to the back of the gallery instead of at the front. Am I able to get it to add a new trigger to the beginning of the group and have that trigger be the first in the group to display?
All the widget's seem to display this same order behaviour, so I'm quite stuck on how to get around this. I've tried re-arranging the triggers, but that has become insanely cumbersome every time I want to add new photos to the beginning of the group and move the older ones further down the gallery order.
Any help would be greatly appreciated with this, cheers, David.

OK
I'm a newbie.
I have the same problem. I've looked at some recommended 3rd party widgets and they don't do what I want either.
Another method would be to start a nabble.com blog and embed that in to Muse, but then the news would not be seen by web crawlers and benefit your ranking on your own page. (I think)
This is a rubbish work around but, I'm going to add a new news widget every month. I only get 5-6 bits of news a month, so by adding a new widget above the last each time, that will push the old news down the page.
Hope this helps someone.

Unable to 'Add Server' in Sun's DeployTool Utility (deploying application)

Hi Everyone,
I tried to search for this but couldn't find an instance.
I am using 'Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8'. The server is running fine (at 8080) with the admin console (at 4848) responding perfectly while contacted with a browser.
The problem started when I tried to deploy a J2EE web application (.ear file) containing some EJB components. I finished with all the development steps perfectly (creating .ear file, coding EJB and related interfaces, packaging the beans with their references registered etc.). However when trying to deploy the application in the EJB container (at localhost:4848), I need to Add Server in the deploytool.
When I select File-AddServer, it allows me to add hostName and port#. But when try to click on the name, it asks me for connection string (UserName, Password). I used the same values as I am using with the browser interface, but it is not accepting. Giving the error, `Check if the server is running or Are you using the correct username and password.`.
I tried many times, but it seems the deploytool is not picking the server at all.
Any help...

Copy file from client PC to server in a web deployed application

I have developed one application using Oracle forms 6i, which is deployed on the web server.
I run this application from a client PC in Internet Explorer using internet.
I want to copy one file from the client PC to the web server.
I have done following things
- Created a shared folder on the server and given full rights to every one on this folder
- I use 'net use' command in my program to connect to this shared folder
- I use copy command to copy file from local client pc to server. This copy command I am executing using host command of my programming (PL/SQL: eg. host('copy abc.txt \\server\share\') )
But this does not work.
When I do the same thing in command window, it works.
(ie. Start-Run cmd to open command window and then type the above copy command)
Can you please tell me, how to copy a file from client PC to the sever in Web deployed application?
Thanks

I downloaded D2KWUtil from the link suggested by you. It has very nice example demo form. But the documentation provided says following
Using D2KWUTIL in Web Deployed Applications
The use of this library is not supported with Web deployed applications.
In a web deployment scenario not all functions within D2KWUTIL will work. Any function that interacts with the User Interface (such as those in the WIN_API_DIALOG package) will fail.
Any interaction with the O/S by other functions will all be executed on the NT server and will act within, or return information pertinant to, the environment on that machine. For instance GET_COMPUTER_NAME will return the Server’s name, not the name of the computer that the Client browser is running on. Likewise COPY_FILE will copy files in the Forms Server not on the Client.
Functions such as those in WIN_API_BITOP will continue to work without change.
so this will not work in web deployed application.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks

TEXT_IO.FOPEN not working on web deployed app FORMS 6i

Hi all
I have coded parsing file by using TEXT_IO.GET_LINE but it seems that my file even can't be opened.
declare
file1 text_io.file_type;
filename1 varchar(256);
linebuf varchar2(100);
begin
file1 := TEXT_IO.FOPEN(:CSV.CSV_PATH, 'r');
Text_IO.Get_Line(file1, linebuf);
if linebuf!='blablablablabla' then msg('line is OK!');
else msg('Line is wrong!');
end if;
TEXT_IO.FCLOSE(file1);
end;
On local machine when i enter into :CSV.CSV_PATH "C:\details.txt" the file gets loaded because it gets processing, I can see messages.
When I upload form onto remote web-deployed app server, I enter into path "D:\details.txt" (I cannot write on C:, the files are the same) nothing happens. Does it mean text_io won't work on Fomrs6i web-deployed? How can I investigate this issue.
Thanks in advance

With Forms Server deployments. TEXT_IO writes the file on the Forms server not the local PC as it did in client-server mode.
Here are some workarounds
1) Download the WEBUTIL add-on from Oracle and use its TEXT_IO package to write to the local file.
WebUtil is an essential add-on loaded with goodies such as a file browse dialog for local files. Its easy to use and is designed to be compatible with other oracle routines like TEXT_IO.
Kudos to Duncan Mills at Oracle for this top add-on - dont leave home without it.
www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm2) Use the original TEXT_IO (as you are now) to write to a file on the Forms Sever , then display it in a browser window using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
3) I remember seeing some some old Java scripts on OTN to write to local PC.
MY APOLOGIES for #3. Most forum posts can be solved with that little gem of an answer. "My sink is blocked" ... "yeah I saw some java code to fix that"

"ERROR_DESTINATION_INVALID: Web deployment task failed" when trying to deploy site

I'm working on our CI process for auto-publishing WebJobs along with a host WebSite for said jobs. This isn't working, but that's not the point at the moment.
The site in question is called devpandajobhost.azurewebsites.net and I have created (and deleted
and recreated) and published to this site successfully many times, from both msbuild and VS.
However, earlier today, my publish commands have started failing with

It looks like the scm site for my site doesn't exist. I have tried deleting and recreating my site several times, through various different mechanisms (VS new project, portal, powershell). The site can be created but when I publish to it I get the error
above.
What is going on?
PS my theory is that I deleted and recreated it and the Azure internal DNS server has got in a pickle

it is not only internal Azure DNS but your DNS provider as well. Since DNS records are propagated and cached (and negative cached as well) you need to wait for some time for negative cache to expire.
I see no good reason to go through the cycle of creating new site every time unless this is your scenario. If so you can delete the old one and create always sites with new name.

Hi Karthi,
Forms is not a HTML web deployment. The deployment is based on
generic Applets. This means that we are transferring the UI to a
browser by simply replacing Motif (in your case) with Java on the
server side. If you want to deploy a Forma application in the web
just create s static HTML file (example files can be viewed after
installing JInitiator) with a reference to your Forms Module that
you use as a starting point. Start the Forms Server on the
command shell with f60ctl start port=9000 (if yiou want to use
port 9000). Via the web you access the Forms Server by calling
the static HTML File. In this HTML there is a request for the
Forms Listener.
Hope this short answer will give you a hint.

Producer Consumer Start Trigger

Short Explanation: I'm using a 3rd party device to send a TTL signal to use as my start trigger in my VI. My cDAQ and modules appear to have the ability to send a start trigger independantly but I have been unable to hunt down how to do this in a producer/consumer system. I do have an idea at the bottom of the long explanation.
Long Explanation:
I'm running a test system that monitors the pressure wave from a hydrogen/oxygen ignition. Components are a cDAQ-9188 with modules 9222 (x3 high speed AI), 9481 (x2 relay), 9402 (x1 I/O Module), 9221 ("Low" Speed AI).
Based upon recommendations in this forum I've placed my DAQ in a producer/consumer architecture.
At this point the system mostly works, I still have a few more things to add for all the information I want to collect. However, it records at high speed and the 9221 and the 9222 modules are synchronized. It has successfully collected good data as of this writing.
When the system starts it will monitor, but not record. I need to fill the test structure with gas to a specific concentration before I ignite/record. When I press the record button I send a TTL signal from the 9402 to my high speed camera and I close a relay on a 9481 which engages a spark system. The spark system takes a variable amount of time to charge and fire so I have a timer that leaves the TTL and the relay active for a half second.
My problem, and it's a small one, comes in with the monitoring system and the synchronization. In order to get the system to synchronize properly I had to generate an external pulse into PFI0 to use as a trigger. I attempted to assign the various clocks available as a start trigger but I ended up with unsynchronized data.
Is there a way to generate a pulse on my 9402 to use as a trigger? It feels silly to me to use an external device when I have something that can generate the signal I need.
In thinking about this post I might have solved my problem, at least in my head. I'm thinking I can move the TTL output VI (which I will eventually change to DAQmx) into the producer loop and move my true/false statements to the consumer loop as a 1D array within my queue to start the record. Probably more to it than that but I can only learn by experimentation right?
Thoughts? Recommendations?
VI attached.
Solved!

You can't generate a pulse with the 9402 itself. The pulse would actually be generated by the 9188. You should create a Counter Output task to generate a pulse train. Try the attached example as a start point to experiment with the counter.
This Vi is for LabVIEW 2013, if you have an older version let me know and I will try to convert it.

Web Deployment - a few questions

Hi, I have followed all the steps in the guide for application deployment. In point #10 of the steps for web deployment it states "take the resulting MSO from the deployment project and copy it to the deployment server". Is this a typo? I only see a MSI file.
In point #11, it states "run the MSI on the server while logged in as administrator". So do I just run that program from anywhere, i.e. the desktop of the server? I don't have to run it from within a particular folder?
Lastly, after creating the setup project I wanted to check it in to my solution. I get the following error message:
"The project that you are attempting to add to source control may cause other souce control users to have difficulty opening this solution or getting a newer version of it. To avoid this problem, add the project from a location below the binding root of the other source controlled projects in the solution."
Any ideas on what I can do to correct this? We have multiple projects and developers and I don't want to be the guy who broke source control. I am also wondering if I can just delete the websetup project since I now have the MSI? Do I really need to keep the project or is it okay to delete it from our solution?
Sorry for the raft of questions but as I said above, I don't want to break this for everyone else. Thanks in advance!

- typo for sure

- any folder will do, even desktop
Lastly, after creating the setup project I wanted to check it in to my solution. I get the following error message:
"The project that you are attempting to add to source control may cause other source control users to have difficulty opening this solution or getting a newer version of it. To avoid this problem, add the project from a location below the binding root of the other source controlled projects in the solution."
Any ideas on what I can do to correct this? We have multiple projects and developers and I don't want to be the guy who broke source control.
- I believe the message is essentially a warning so that you do not include the runtime from another version of CR
I am also wondering if I can just delete the websetup project since I now have the MSI? Do I really need to keep the project or is it okay to delete it from our solution?
- All you need is the msi. You can add the msi to your setup project, or you can run the msi on it's own.

How relevant is Java Applet technology in 2006 for wide web deployment?

How relevant is Java Applet technology in 2006 for wide web deployment?
I'm developing a website which requires deployment Internationally to as many users as possible. Many people advise to stay away from Java applets, others say only use Java 1.1 (AWT limitation), some say use Flash, others say stay away from applets and plugins altogether.
Of course it depends on the content. I have interactive 3D content currently powered by Java 1.1 applet BUT I have been using Swing to introduce custom GUI functionality but which I know may limit compatibility. I'm torn by this whole debate and what impact it will have on the relevancy of my website.
How many users out there have browsers that will cope with my content?
Then there's the issue of all the various different browsers nowadays. I'm testing for IE and Netscape on Windows platform, but what about other browsers and OSes on other platforms? I notice that some websites have a page with tables to show users what browser is and is not compatible with their web content. How far must a web developer go to test all these things exhaustively?
Then there's the issue of a 16MB download for the latest Java plugin if a user's system is not up to date. Can all modern browsers handle Java even with the latest Java download?
Or should I just tell the user to get a compatible browser? Another 10-20MB download, depending.
Or how about Flash? That reportedly has a vast International deployment base, but do I need to pay for a Flash editor / IDE / compiler? So far I've been using freeware (HTML, Java, NetBeans, PHP, MySQL, PNG images) to achieve excellent results within my ludicrously limited budget. The Flash Player is only a 930KB download, and that is quite user friendly even if I must tell a user to get the latest version � only 2 minutes download on a 56K modem or about 15 seconds on DSL followed by a 2 second really easy install.
Look here to see where Java ranks against Flash and others :
http://www.macromedia.com/software/player_census/flashplayer/
I know Java. I use it for apps and now applets. I get it to communicate with my server's PHP and MySQL. It works well on my machine, but will my applets work for millions of users world wide with few technical problems? Looking through Java forums I see developers struggling with Java Applets in Safari on OSX but not on Windows. Then another has problems with Applets in IE on Windows but not on Netscape. Then one browser struggles with key events . . . it's like a mine field out there and I'm struggling for clear direction.
Microsoft's support for Java has been poor. If I depend on Java Applets now and for the next year, then will they still be supported 3 or 5 years from now? Or will I have to write off this investment in Java development effort and then switch to something else? Or switch to something else now?
Does Sun Microsystems somewhere reveal how ubiquitous their JVM deployment is?
Perhaps I'm totally misinformed, but Java Applets seem to be dying out. I'd really love to hear from other active web developers out there doing stuff for wide deployment to mass markets.

Since my zwebsite is already using Java 1.1 for 3D visualization I've decided to standardize on Java 1.1 to gain maximum browser compatibility. To add another technology like Flash at this point may just complicate matters, especially for me.
I'm now converting my Swing GUI to AWT. It wastes a lot of time, but the effort should be worth it in terms of the deployment success rate - in theory at least :-)
Just imagine if Java 1 had Swing . . . dream on!
In the deployment stats noted in my first post on this thread they state that Java has 86% world wide desktop deployment. Problem is that I bet that figure only relates to Java1. I wonder what pathetic percentage is true for Java2?
Regarding the use of Java for content rich dynamic content for world world wide web browser deployment . . . I'm rather disillusioned at this point. It seems for this application Java is stuck indefinitely at Java1 and the cool things they developed after that cannot be used effectively. Please note that I am ONLY referring to wide browser deployment. For stand-alone apps and targeted web deployment (where you can reasonably expect your user to upgrade his/her system for a good reason) Java is still very cool.
As for Java WebStart: I can see the uses for it, but it just does not fit into the browser application where the general public enter your web pages and see cool content inside the essential context of your webpage. This last point is vital for any serious web site. If the object of the site is to deploy a useful app to the user (like a forex trading front-end with GUI) then use Java WebStart by all means.
After this website, I'll invest in Flash. I'm sure Flash is not without its share of issues, but it has 97% deployment of nearly the latest versions and user download/upgrade is under 1MB. On top of that it does not seem to suffer from corporate relationship woes like those between Sun and Microsoft.
After all, Flash is labelled as a 'player' and not a Virtual Machine. Mass users out there want to play rather than know about complex and bulky IT stuff.

Web deployment task fails

For the last couple of days I cannot deploy web jobs from Visual Studio to azure.
The site is running and I am able to access it and run existing jobs through the portal.
I haven't changes any setting.
I get this error:
Error ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE: Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("***.scm.azurewebsites.net"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web

Hi David,
***.scm.azurewebsites.net does not contain any content, it is used only for webjobs, but I can access it from the browser.
I cannot see the available sites from visual studio, and cannot connect to azure server from visual studio
It seems this problem is a general problem of connection to azure via visual studio..

PXI question: four analog ouput cards to start-trigger simultaneously

Hi all,
Here's the situation:
We have built a system that ouputs 24 analog signals using a PXIE-1073 chassis. It has 5 slots:
Slot 1:          Internal
Slot 2:          Empty
Slot 3:          Empty
Slot 4 (Hybrid): PXI-6733
Slot 5 (Hybrid): PXI-6733
Slot 6 (Hybrid): PXI-6733
As you can see, it has three analog output cards, which occupy all three of the hybrid slots. And we have two empty slots.
Our LabVIEW code is designed to output analog signals on all three cards (at the same rate) using three DAQmx tasks which start-trigger simultaneously. To do the triggering, we setup two of the tasks to start-trigger off of the first task (master-slaves style). In this manner, we can get all outputs to start at the same time. Its actually quite simple.
My question: I want to add another output card. But I am fairly I can only use hybrid slots for my application. I remember working with NI and they told me I had to use the hybrid slots to be able to get the triggers routed automatically along the backplane. Our code actually failed (error) when we used the non-hybrid slots (I forgot the error code).
Is there any way to add another PXI-6733 and have it trigger with the other cards?

I can't speak to the chassis, but I'd warn you that if you want your tasks sync'ed, you'd better share a sample clock too and not just a start trigger.  The onboard clocks will have a tolerance (often ~50 ppm, dunno for your 6733's) and their sampling instants will drift apart from one another over time. In fact, I rarely both with triggers at all for syncing tasks & boards. I'll usually *only* share a sample clock, and then make sure I start all the slave tasks before the master whose sample clock is being shared.
Good luck on your real question though...

Publish a web deploy package using Deploy tool (msdeploy.exe) and *.PublishSetting file

Hi,
I have created a web deploy package (*.zip) file using Visual studio. Also I have created a website in Azure and got the publish settings file.
Now say, I have only web deploy package and publish settings file. How can I publish this package to Azure website using the command prompt with msdeploy.exe command?
Im trying something like the below:
msdeploy.exe -source:package='D:\WebDeploy\WebProfile.zip' -dest:auto,computerName="http://webdeploytestsite.azurewebsites.net:443/msdeploy.axd?site=WebDeployTestSite",userName="$WebDeployTestSite",password="***********",authtype="Basic",includeAcls="False"
-verb:sync -disableLink:AppPoolExtension -disableLink:ContentExtension -disableLink:CertificateExtension -setParamFile:"D:\WebDeploy\WebProfile.SetParameters.xml"
I'm getting the below error!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Error: Could not complete the request to remote agent URL 'http://webdeploytests
ite.azurewebsites.net:443/msdeploy.axd?site=WebDeployTestSite'.
Error: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a r
eceive.
Error: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection

Hi,
As you are using http:// connection instead of https:// in your connection, check the below provide solutions:
1. In the publish profile window, You need to check the "Allow untrusted certificate" checkbox and the publish should succceed
You may refer following link for more information:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff683672.aspx
2. Alternatively, add the –allowUntrusted flag on the command.
And, we always recommend you to use 'PowerShell' to run the commands instead of normal 'CommandPrompt'. Also, you may temporarily disable the Antirvius in your computer for testing purpose and check if it might be blocking the connection.
