Append argument to VM??

I have a project that needs some parameters to be passed to the VM to work:
* A wizard launcher for Chart builder.
* <p>
* If the eclipse extension is expected to use, append the argument in VM,
* <b>-DBIRT_HOME=birt_home_directory</b>; or append <b>-DSTANDALONE</b> to
* use hard-coded manifest, in
* <code>org.eclipse.birt.chart.ui.swt.wizard.ChartUIExtensionImpl</code> and
* <code>org.eclipse.birt.chart.util.PluginSettings</code>.
I have tried to create a shortcut to my eclipse exe file and add (to target):
C:\Programs\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin\javaw.exe" -vmargs -Xmx512M -DBIRT_HOME=C:\birt-runtime-2_5_0\ReportEngine
but that just result in trying to create a new workspace. I have also tried to add:
-DBIRT_HOME=C:\birt-runtime-2_5_0\ReportEngine
to the eclipse.ini file but that does not help either. Any ideas on how to "append parameters to the VM" ??

Would that send the arguments to the JVM that is running the IDEYes
or would it send arguments to the JVM that is spawned by the IDE when it executes the user's program?No
And which does the OP want?As OP is talking about an Eclipse plugin I made an assumption.

    1) You append to a file by passing true for the append argument to the constructor for the FileOutputStream or FileWriter.
    2) I have no idea what you mean by this: Trying to append a txt file but cant because of the header. How do i print to the file without the header?
    3) You're saying it's a txt file, but you're calling Output.writeObject(record). If Output is an ObjectOutputStream, (that is, you're serializing record) then it's not a text file.
    4) Variable names conventionally start with lowercase in Java, so Output should be output. (Unless Output is a class name and writeObject is a static method.)

  • Oracle 9i clob segment possible corruption

    Hello all,
    We are experiencing some select issues from a table containing a CLOB segment. Since I don't know too much about CLOBs and we are suspecting a possible corruption. What would be the next step besides a DBV on the datafile housing hat table?
    I have read that there is a package called DBMS_LOB ... but not sure how to use
    Much appreciated

    Corruption? logical or physical?

    is this the way to delete text in a file???
    i want to clear a text file from all characters.Call the FileWriter constructor with a boolean append argument set to false. It will create a new file overwriting the previous one.
    BufferedWriter w = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("index.txt", false));

  • Step by step to create planning book & Macro's behind it   I am a ABAPer

    Recently I have been shifted  from R/3 to Apo ; Want to know the creation of planing book & the creation of Macro workbench playing behind planning book .
    To create planning book.
    To create Macro  & how to relate a planning book with the macro.
    Step by step process from simple to complex .
    Different process to programe a macro .
    I can understant ( rather I know ) how to relate  a badi (Enhancement spot ) to a macro & but please guide me how to define a row of a planing book : such as how to define the row 'Avg Weekly Forcast' of planing book in a single varriable as  'ZAVGWKFST' to capture it at badi in the  parameter I_T_LINES[]
    (component - FELDH).
    To create  a custom Button in a planning book & how to program.
    I have many broken links while I try to know it by myself.

    Hi amitabha,
    Please find below the detailed steps to define a planning book:
    A planning book defines the content and the layout of the interactive planning screen. Planning books are used in Demand Planning and Supply Network Planning. They allow you to design the screen to suit individual planning tasks. A planning book is based on a planning area. You can create several user-specific data views in a planning book. In this step, you create a planning book for Demand Planning.
    Procedure
    1.     Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
    SAP SCM menu     Advanced Planning and Optimization  Demand Planning  Environment  Current settings  Define Planning Book
    Transaction code     /SAPAPO/SDP8B
    2.     Enter the planning book DP_001 and choose Create.
    The Planning Book Wizard dialog box is displayed.
    3.     Make the following entries:
    Field name     User action and values
    Planning Book     Enter the planning book DP_001
    Planning book text     Demand Planning
    Planning area     Select the planning area DP_001 and choose Enter
    Manual Proportion Maintenance     X
    Promotion     X
    Univariate forecast     X
    4.     Choose Continue.
    5.     Assign the following key figures from planning area to the planning book by using drag and drop or choose Add all new Key Figures to add all key figures:
    Description     Value     Comment
    History     9AVHISTORY     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Forecast     9ADFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS and VMI
    Promotion 1     9APROM1     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Forecast (addition.)     9AAFCST     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Planned Price     9APRICEFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Sales Forecast     9AREVFC     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Production (Planned)     9APPROD     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Manual Correction     9AMANUP     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Additional Field 1     9AADDKF1     Relevant for Scenario VMI
    Additional Field 2     9AADDKF2     Relevant for Scenario VMI
    Additional Field 3     9AADDKF3     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Additional Field 4     9AADDKF4     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    Additional Field 5     9AADDKF5     Relevant for Scenario MTS
    The Proportional factor APODPDANT key figure is automatically added to your planning area when you create the planning area. You do not have to add this key figure yourself and assign it to the planning book in this step. When you create the respective view, this key figure will be automatically there for your selection.
    6.     Choose Continue.

    Steps to create macros in macro wrokbench:
    3.7     Creating Macros (SAP APO)
    Use
    You can use advanced macros to perform complex calculations quickly and easily. Macros are executed either directly by the user or automatically at a predefined point in time. When defining advanced macros, you work in a special desktop environment known as the MacroBuilder.
    In total, four macros are created in the Demand Planning building block. They are all defined for the planning book DP_001. You create three macros for forecast calculation according to the following instruction. The chapter Creating the Macro for Consensus-Based Planning describes how to create the alert macro for consensus-based planning.
    In the DP_STANDARD view of the planning book DP_001, you create two macros:
    The first macro is used for the standard and consensus-based planning. The system calculates the arithmetic average of Statistical Forecast, Sales Forecast and Logistics Forecast, the result of average forecast data plus Promotion Data is inserted in the Final Forecast cell. It enables the user to consider the forecast input and the promotion plan from different departments within the company. The planner can make manual adjustments and enter the final agreed forecast into the Final Forecast cell. All of this information can be shown in the planning book screen.
    The second macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume. The third macro is an alert macro used for highlighting exceptional situations in consensus-based planning.
    In the DP_SALES view of the planning book DP_001, you create the fourth macro. This macro multiplies the Final forecast data with the Planned price to calculate the sales volume, which is the same as the one in the standard view.

  • Saving an image as PNG to a specific location, and appending the document's existing name.

    Hello
      I'm building a very complex action that references several scripts. One of the scripts needs to save the existing canvas as a .png file to a specific directory, and rename the .png with the document's existing name and adding "-SCREEN" to the end. So the name sould be "originalname-SCREEN.png"
      I found a script below that almost kinda works. It can find the directory, but it is cropping the image for some unknown reason. It also does not append the name (I have not looked into how to do that at all yet).
      Is anyone able to figure out how to fix this script, or perhaps lend some insight to how I might go about generating a new script?
      I'm not familiar with JS, but I'm learning. Slowly...
    Thank you.

    "Image Processor Pro.jsx" and "Image Processor Pro.xml" copy these to Photoshop's Presets\Scripts folder. The "Image Processor Pro: script written by Ross Huitt, [email protected] X use to contribute here but is feed up with Adobe has left. For Adobe does not fix the bugs that have been reported  in Photoshop scripting support. 
    However he will continue to support the "Image Processor Pro" script for some time.  Once installed you will find it in  Photoshop's menu File>Automate>Image Processor Pro... . This script is very powerful and configurable and is a Photoshop Plug-in that Action support so not only can use use your actions in its processing you can record its used in actions to bypass its dialog. When the action's Image Processor Pro step is played the recorded dialog setting will be used and  the script will bypass displaying its dialog.
    The Script has all the options you need to save PNG files with the original document name with custom text added.  You may be able to do what you want by just recording some simple actions and have the Image Processor Pro script include your actions as part of its processing.

  • BAD Command Argument Error. 11 writing to Exchange 2007 - Help Please...

    Hi,
    I am writing an IMAP to IMAP mailbox converter. I am testing a UW mailbox that I have approx. 1200 messages in to a MS Exchange 2007 Server. I am performing a javax.mail.Folder destFolder.appendMessages(sourceFolder.getMessages()). I transfer almost half the messages this why when i get the following exception. I have googled and not found any reference to it, nor does the protocol trace look bazaar :
    javax.mail.MessagingException: A4 BAD Command Argument Error. 11;
    nested exception is:

    Hi Charles,
    I used a portlet you created first but not in trunk. (as sakai-dash.war
    file) This might be older one.
    From catalina.out i get following logs.First, as always i get:

    I don't know what it is. !!!
    And then, when i logged into portal, i get the following message:
    SakaiPortalLogin.loginAndCreate id=onursirin pw=plugh-xyzzy sec=plugh-xyzzy
    fn=Onur ln=Sirin [email protected] ip=10.4.3.1
    Site exists...~onursirin
    That's all what i see in catalina.out.
    By the way, we are using Cisco CSS (Content Switch) for Load Balancing
    process.
    Behind CSS, there is apache server and application server installed on two
    servers which mentioned in this page
    http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/DOC/Sakai+2.4+Admin+Guide+-LoadBalancing+and+Scaling
    http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/DOC/Sakai+2.4+Admin+Guide+-LoadBalancing+and+Scaling
    as thin client .
    CSS DNS address = sucourse.sabanciuniv.edu
    App server DNS address = sakws1.sabanciuniv.edu and sakws2.sabanciuniv.edu
    It is enough to type sucourse.sabanciuniv.edu address in web browser.
    Their sakai.properties files are similar. However, there are following
    parameters that i didn't use in my sakai.properties file. May be i should
    use them. !!

    Now, i have changed my connection type by connecting Campus VPN server with
    Checkpoint VPN client, i got my sakai course pages correctly via sakai
    portlet. However, in campus i had same problem today.
    So, like i said, the situation is changing due to unknown reason.
    From portlet, i clicked on any course, i get blank screen with followingaddress in web browser address bar.
    https://sucourse.sabanciuniv.edu/sakai-login-tool/container?sakai.session=02274ca6-fc19-413c-80d9-4332ae4e4499&ticket=ST-5342-bLIfR5lVs29HB1ZAeRrMA3bbmQtVWRJqQ6N-20
    That's all.
    Thank you for your response Charles !

    And then, when i logged into portal, i get the following message:

    That's all what i see in catalina.out.
    By the way, we are using Cisco CSS (Content Switch) for Load Balancing
    process.
    Behind CSS, there is apache server and application server installed on two
    servers which mentioned in this page
    http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/DOC/Sakai+2.4+Admin+Guide+-LoadBalancing+and+Scaling
    http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/confluence/display/DOC/Sakai+2.4+Admin+Guide+-LoadBalancing+and+Scaling
    as thin client .
    CSS DNS address = sucourse.sabanciuniv.edu
    App server DNS address = sakws1.sabanciuniv.edu and sakws2.sabanciuniv.edu
    It is enough to type sucourse.sabanciuniv.edu address in web browser.
    Their sakai.properties files are similar. However, there are following
    parameters that i didn't use in my sakai.properties file. May be i should
    use them. !!

    Now, i have changed my connection type by connecting Campus VPN server with
    Checkpoint VPN client, i got my sakai course pages correctly via sakai
    portlet. However, in campus i had same problem today.
    So, like i said, the situation is changing due to unknown reason.
    From portlet, i clicked on any course, i get blank screen with followingaddress in web browser address bar.

    Now, i have changed my connection type by connecting Campus VPN server

    The command that seems to be causing problems for Exchange is this one:
    A4 APPEND "Sakai-Dev List" (\Deleted \Seen NonJunk) "21-Aug-2007 16:37:20 -0400" {7024+}
    As far as I can see, there's nothing wrong with the syntax of that command.
    My first guess is that Exchange is unhappy with the flags. Possibly
    it refuses to append a message with the \Deleted flag set. If you're
    willing to modify the flags in the source mailbox, I would try turning
    off the DELETED flag. Or, try not copying deleted messages.
    If that doesn't work, the next thing to try is to get rid of all of the
    flags. You might want to copy the message into a local copy
    in order to lose all the flags from the original.

  • Problem associated with Command Line arguments

    hi ,
    I am not able to pass a file path as command line argument in java.
    Actually i want to run a java program from the command prompt passing a file path . Something like this i tried to do , but its not working.
    D:\VISHAL\src> java CopyFile C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt
    where ,
    CopyFile is the name of my class which i am going to run
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt is the argument.
    Can anyone tell me whether a java program accepts an argument like this, if yes please tell me the exact syntax..
    Thanks

    is there any other way of solving this?Y don't U try it out with the logic as mentioned
    below it wud be the case if U r not going with
    java CopyFile "C:\Documents and
    Settings\Administrator\Desktop\link.txt" 1
    String filepath = new String();
    for(int i = 0; i < Arg.length; i++)
    filepath.append(Arg);
    File f = new File(filepath);
    What????  This is a non-solution to a non-problem.  First of all, you would be constructing a filename without spaces, when the real path contains spaces.  Secondly, even if you did insert spaces it would not matter.  What if the String (and it does not have to be a filename) contained tabs rather than spaces.  The real (and really only) solution to the problem is to put quotes around the argument, for the exact reason stated in my last post.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • LocalDirector 417 and JSESSIONID url argument

    I am installing a LD417 in front of a cluster of WebLogic servers.
    The LD417 will passively inspect the JSESSIONID cookie in order to keep the connections from a particular client going to the same WebLogic server (WLS). If that WLS goes down, it will send on to a different server, and the new WLS will request the session information from whichever WLS has the backup.
    Some times the client device might not support cookies, in which case the WLS will use url rewriting (appending ;JSESSIONID=A6B2... to the url) instead. Can the LD417 use this url argument as a key for stickiness, instead of the cookie? Quite a lot of documentation hints to this possibility, but I have not found anything concrete.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Nick,
    LD is not capable of doing what you want to accomplish .Sticky based on cookie in url.The LD scans the HTTP GET request for a cookie (cookie-passive) it cannot scan the URL for cookie .
    The Content service switch (CSS) which is the advanced Load balancer can handle this .

    But i have even checked the syntax of encode at which is exactly matching
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html
    Kindly let me know what is the reason.......

    Check the Java API for this:
    There is a specific note for the method, which reads as follows:
    Note: The World Wide Web Consortium Recommendation states that UTF-8 should be used. Not doing so may introduce incompatibilites.
    It's always better to look in API docs.

  • How to read appended objects from file with ObjectInputStream?

    Hi to everyone. I'm new to Java so my question may look really stupid to most of you but I couldn't fined a solution by myself... I wanted to make an application, something like address book that is storing information about different people. So I decided to make a class that will hold the information for each person (for example: nickname, name, e-mail, web address and so on), then using the ObjectOutputStream the information will be save to a file. If I want to add a new record for a new person I'll simply append it to the already existing file. So far so good but soon I discovered that I can not read the appended objects using ObjectInputStream.
    What I mean is that if I create new file and then in one session save several objects to it using ObjectOutputStream they all will be read with no problem by ObjectInputStream. But after that if in a new session I append new objects they won't be read. The ObjectInputStream will read the objects from the first session after that IOException will be generated and the reading will stop just before the appended objects from the second session.
    The following is just a simple test it's not actual code from the program I was talking about. Instead of objects containing different kind of information I'm using only strings here. To use the program use as arguments in the console "w" to create new file followed by the file name and the strings you want save to the file (as objects). Example: "+w TestFile.obj Thats Just A Test+". Then to read it use "r" (for reading), followed by the file name. Example "+r TestFile.obj+". As a result you'll see that all the strings that are saved in the file can be successfully read back. Then do the same: "+w TestFile.obj Thats Second Test+" and then read again "+r TestFile.obj+". What will happen is that the strings only from the first sessions will be read and the ones from the second session will not.
    I am sorry for making this that long but I couldn't explain it more simple. If someone can give me a solution I'll be happy to hear it! ^.^ I'll also be glad if someone propose different approach of the problem! Here is the code:
    import java.io.*;
    class Fio
         public static void main(String[] args)
              try
                   if (args[0].equals("w"))
                        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(args[1], true);
                        ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
                        for (int i = 2; i < args.length ; i++)
                             oos.writeObject(args);
                        fos.close();
                   else if (args[0].equals("r"))
                        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(args[1]);
                        ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
                        for (int i = 0; i < fis.available(); i++)
                             System.out.println((String)ois.readObject());
                        fis.close();
                   else
                        System.out.println("Wrong args!");
              catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException exc)
                   System.out.println("You must use \"w\" or \"r\" followed by the file name as args!");
              catch (IOException exc)
                   System.out.println("I/O exception appeard!");
              catch (ClassNotFoundException exc)
                   System.out.println("Can not find the needed class");

    How to read appended objects from file with ObjectInputStream? The short answer is you can't.
    The long answer is you can if you put some work into it. The general outline would be to create a file with a format that will allow the storage of multiple streams within it. If you use a RandomAccessFile, you can create a header containing the length. If you use streams, you'll have to use a block protocol. The reason for this is that I don't think ObjectInputStream is guaranteed to read the same number of bytes ObjectOutputStream writes to it (e.g., it could skip ending padding or such).
    Next, you'll need to create an object that can return more InputStream objects, one per stream written to the file.
    Not trivial, but that's how you'd do it.

  • Passing arguments to a remote script

    Hey, here is my problem. I want to call a script used in a (some other party) web site from my Java program. I do not know anything about the script - language, source code, etc. only know its location. For example I want to call a scrpit on Yahoo site that will show me the TV program of a given channel for a given zip code. First of all - is this ok, I mean legal?
    Next - assume the yahoo script takes its input from a form - i.e. 2 text fields called "channel" and "zipCode" (should I determine the names of the variables by "view"-ing the HTML source of the form, or should I use the names of the variables that are present in the URL of the resulting page?). When I call the script from my Java program, I need to send it these 2 parameters (in the Java program they are called "ch" and "zip"). I have tested my program - if I only provide the value for the "channel" it works fine. So my question is how to send multiple arguments?
    At the moment I have sometng like this:
    public static void main(String[] args)
    String ch = URLEncoder.encode(args[0],"UTF-8");
    String zip = URLEncoder.encode(args[1],"UTF-8");
    //I am reading the channel name and zip as command line args
    URL url = new URL("www.........");
    URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
    conn.doSetOutput(true);
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(conn.getOutputStream);
    out.println("channel = " + ch); //this works fine
    //here I got the reply
    //here is my question
    //when I try something like this
    out.println("channel = " + ch + "&zipCode = "+zip);
    //it does not work
    I guess there is something wrong in separating the 2 arguments - should it be ; instead of &, or what? Should the separator be encoded too? (And in general, what is the role of the encoding - just to convert the not alphanumeric characheters and the blank space, or there is sometning deeper?).
    Also does the order in which you provide the arguments matter?
    Should I send values for all arguments when the script is called?
    Is a "hidden" type (in the form) different from a textfield (for example) in terms of sending values for it?
    For example, the zipCode (the variable in the script) may be implemented as a String or as an integer. Is there any other way to determine the type except the trial-end-error mechanism?
    I really will appreciate both the short and the long answers (some links will be nice) to my questions :)
    Thanks,
    Mike

    first, if you're going to write to the URLConnection's output stream, you need to set the request method to be POST. The correct syntax for name=value pairs in HTML is:
    name1=value1&name2=value2&...
    so no, you don't want to use a ; instead (a ; can be used, but it's generally a special case to append extra data, I think). You should only encode the variables, as far as I know. (you can also send multiple values with the same name:
    name1=value1A&name1=value1B&...
    but the server has to know to expect it).
    But really, all that is an HTTP issue.
    Also does the order in which you provide the arguments matter?no, it doesn't matter.
    Should I send values for all arguments when the script is called?You need to send everything you want to send at the same time. Sending another set of data would be another separate request, and the first values wouldn't be stored on the server (in most cases). It would take special considerations for a server to handle multiple request as one, and if you don't know for sure that this is the case, then you shouldn't assume it would work.
    Is a "hidden" type (in the form) different from a textfield
    (for example) in terms of sending values for it?yes and no. The user can't set hidden values, so in that regard yes. Scripts can set them in a browser, but from the server's point of view, it doesn't really know that a value came from a text field, hidden field, select list or other field. All it gets is name=value pairs.
    For example, the zipCode (the variable in the script) may be
    implemented as a String or as an integer. Is there any other
    way to determine the type except the trial-end-error mechanism?no, it's just name=value pairs. The browser has no such field as a number field vs. string fields, so the server can't know. Typically you validate the field data with Javascript or on the server and complain to the user if you want numbers only in fields.

  • Appending Objects to a File using serialization

    hi,
    I was wondering if I can append objects in a single file. For example, suppose there are 2 .java files. 1st file creates the Serialized file caleed sl.dat, opens it, writes the object, close it down.
    The 2nd file nw open that same file, sl.dat, in append mode, writes one more object and close it down.
    next I want to read each object of the file. Will it work in this fashion?
    I found a quite interesting discussion here. but it says that it is not possible.. is that true?
    Any clue? Is there any other mean to achieve this?

Please help meYou do know that you have the source code for the class if you have a JDK? The source for ObjectOutputStream is in the src.zip.
    The normal constructor calls writeStreamHeader, and that is the problem if you are going to append data since you don't want to get the stream header more than once. Create a constructor that takes a boolean as argument, and only calls writeStreamHeader if the boolean is true.
