Arguments and multiple instances

I need to have system-wide hotkeys that trigger certain functionality in my program. GNOME will only let me set system-wide terminal command hotkeys.
Is there a way I can make it so that if I do
java myProgram
my program starts, and then if the command
java myProgram -action
is entered, instead of starting a new instance of my program, it passes the parameter -action to the instance that is already running, which then processes the parameter and acts accordingly?

Diff between Multiple Threading and Multiple instance.

Hi ,
what is the main diff between Multiple Threading and Multiple instance?
Please give me the answer

Really. Seriously. Now if you had some industry standard phrases you were comparing, there might be a useful discussion. But those are just words strung together. If that's a homework question, I recommend you find a different teacher.

Cant open external links and multiple instances of the same profile.

I have multiple firefox profiles.
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time.
I use microsoft outlook and see an external link, I click it wishing firefox to open it in the default or new browser. It does not and says "FIrefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Firefox is running fine.
How can I open external links with a profile based setup?
Also, how can I open multiple instances of the same profile? I find that if I click and drag a tab to another monitor, it opens a new "instance" or browser window.

You say
''I have multiple firefox profiles. 
I constantly have two profiles running at the same time. ''
So you will have discovered ''-no-remote'' Note NOT to use that on the default browser; profile, only on secondary profiles.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Common_causes
You will NOT be able to open multiple instances of the same profile, clone the profile if necessary.
If you are trying to run multiple Webmail accounts in one profile then you may well find the webmail is identifying and setting the user account that is opened. Use a Private Browsing window to get round that and open a second account.

Apache and Multiple Instances

I am trying to setup multiple instances on my CF box with
apache 2.2.3.
OS is W2003.
I followed the below doc
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001773.htm
But the problem with this is the when I created the
directories for each VHost in wsconfig/. Then the apache log would
report that the jrunserver.store is not present. As stated in the
doc this folder u create for each VHost should be empty..So I
copied the two files (jrunserver.store and mod_jrun22.so)from the
first web connector site that does not have a instance on CF into
each directory but still no luck..
So this above doc from Adobe definitely does not work, so
does anyone know how to accomplish this with apache 2.2.3 and CFMX
7.02???
Secondly if I create an instance for every site then how do I
connect to the original administrator page to delete instances or
edit them??

Firstly, don't use the wsconfig application that ships with
jrun. Do the whole thing by hand
These instructions should work for you.
1. mod_jrun22.so is an apache module. As such it can be in
any location you like. I recommend that you put it with all your
other apache modules in the /%APACHE_HOME%/modules/ folder
2. in your httpd.conf file, make sure that you add the
following line (put it with all the other LoadModule directives):
LoadModule jrun_module /mod_jrun22.so
3. Now, find a VirtualHost that you want to point at one of
your instances. Inside it, put the following directive:
<IfModule mod_jrun22.c>
JRunConfig Verbose false
JRunConfig Apialloc false
JRunConfig Ssl false
JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap true
JRunConfig Serverstore
"%JRUN_HOME%/lib/wsconfig/[UNIQUE_NUMBER]/jrunserver.store"
JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:[JRUN_PORT]
AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc
</IfModule>
3. make sure that the jrunserver.store (blank file) exists in
the specified folder. For the JRUN_PORT, use the port specified in
the port attribute of the <service
class="jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService" name="ProxyService">
node in the %JRUN_HOME%\servers\[INSTANCE_NAME]\SERVER-INF\jrun.xml
file.
You will go mad if you try to use the wsconfig tools
supplied, if you take some time to understand all the config files,
then you will save time (and be able to do more complex installs)
in the end

Problem with HTML Parser and multiple instances

I have a parser program which queries a online shopping comparison web page and extracts the information needed. I am trying to run this program with different search terms which are created by entering a sentence, so each one is sent separately, however the outputs (text files) are the same for each word, despite the correct term and output file seeming passed. I suspect it might be that the connection is not being closed each time but am not sure why this is happening.
If i create an identical copy of the program and run that after the first one it works but this is not an appropriate solution.
Any help would be much appreciated. Here is some of my code, if more is required i will post.
To run the program:
StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer("red green yellow", " ");
 int c = 0;
 Parser1 p = new Parser1();
 while (t.hasMoreTokens()) {
 c++;
 String tok = t.nextToken();
 File tem = new File("C:/"+c+".txt");
 p.mainprog(tok, tem);
 p.mainprog(tok, tem)
 p.mainprog(tok, tem);

Problem with command line arguments and multiple targets in ant

Based on the argument value,I have to create properties file .I am using the key value pairs present in the properties file in my build.xml file.
Here the problem is , I am able to create the properties file,using the argument vaue.i.e.,
ant -Denv=build-dev copy.
ant build-all.
it works fine,but if i want to call another target which uses the propeties file ,at the time of passing argument is failing
ant -Denv=build-dev copy build-all
why it is happening ?
My build.xml file
<project name="AntParam" default="copy">
<target name="copy">
<fail unless="env">You must specify the env property when you run ant.</fail>
available property="env.prop.file.exists" file="${env}.properties"/>
<fail unless="env.prop.file.exists">Cannot find ${env}.properties file.</fail>
copy file="${env}.properties" tofile="build.properties" overwrite="true"/>
</target>
<target name="build-all">
<property name="one.dir" value="${project.home}/two" />
</target>
</project>
"${project.home}"--------this value I am getting from properties file.

i find solution.

Is it possible to use the same OSSO/OID for multiple R11 and R12 instances?

Hello guru's,
We have multiple R11and R12 instances that should be configured for Oracle SSO 10.1.4.3. For OID, we are still trying to decide between OID 10.1.4.3, or OID 11g. OAM is not an option because we also also need OSSO integration with Siteminder. We will also need to SSO-enable Discoverer an Forms.
I have successfully configured SSO for a single-instance EBS R12, but not for multiple instances, let alone include R11 and other components into the mix.
Do you have any special tips, guidance or lessons learned when SSO-enabling multiple instances into the same SSO/OID?
Thanks!
Maria

Interestingly, the article talks about using the same SSO/OID for EBS, JD Edwards, Peoplesoft multiple R11 instances, but did not mention 'multiple EBS versions'. Am I just being picky or there was a reason for it not being mentioned?In Steven Chan blog (in the same link), see the following:
Comprehensive Single Sign-On Solution+
If you have one or more E-Business Suite Release 11i instances and are tired of maintaining users separately for each environment, you can create a central OracleAS 10g environment and manage all 11i users in one place.
If you have a combination of PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and the E-Business Suite in your organization, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all three environments centrally.
If you have a combination of the E-Business Suite and custom applications based on Oracle databases or OracleAS 10g technology, you can use OracleAS 10g to manage users for all applications in a single place.
Thanks,
Hussein

Multiple instances and mail config

Maybe I dont understand the right concept of multiple
instances but what I did was the following:
Setup up an instance for each domain I have running as a
VHost on apache.
What I was trying to accomplish is the failover of any one
domain and also to use separate mail settings for each domain.
But this is where I seem to have misunderstood the concept of
multiple instances, is it not possible to use a different smtp
server for each domain? When my forms for each domain generates an
email I want the email to originate from that domain not the main
one setup in CF...
Thanks

Your on the right track.
Set up say 4 websites (virtual hosts) eg www.mydomain1.com,
www.mydomain2.com etc
Set up 4 cf instances if you have 4 domains, maybe call them
mydomain1, mydomain2 etc
Using the Web Server configuration tool, config the cf
instance mydomain1 to virtual host mydomain1, cf instance mydomain2
to VH mydomain2 etc
The website should now be working using their own Cf
instances.
Go into the CF Admin, scroll to the bottom of the left menu
and you should see Instance Manager
Clicking on this should either reveal the 4 cf instances or
you may have to add them (should be a button)
Once you see all 4, you should be able to click on the admin
for each individual instance and change the smtp server as
appropriate.
This won't give you failover though, if a CF instance goes
down, that site is gone. Clustering is the way to give failover and
you can achieve this fairly easily.
Expanding on the above example, you would create 8 CF
instances eg mydomain1-1 mydomain1-2, mydomain2-1 mydomain2-2.
Create 4 clusters eg mydomain1cluster, mydomain2cluster etc
In the CF Administrator Add mydomain1-1, mydomain1-2
instances to mydomain1cluster etc
Using the Web Server configuration tool, config the cluster
mydomain1cluster to virtual host mydomain1 etc
each domain should now be using 2 cf instances, you will be
able to down on of those instances the the site will continue
working.
Back in the instance manager under CF Admin, you should now
have 8 instances - config mydomain1-1, mydomain1-2 to the
appropriate smtp server etc
The above is for CF MX 6 onwards too, not sure about previous
versions.
I think thats what your after? I've skimmed over some parts
above in relation to the clustering, but there's a handy doc
floating around on the web by Herrlich & Ramuschkat that will
guide you through it.
BTW, those instances can sit on multiple physical servers for
hardware redundancy. Depending on how many domains you have and the
power of your machines, this is a preferred way to go although
expensive due to multiple CF licences

Multiple instances and Apache 2.2

I went thru the below livedoc to create multiple instances
and then associate them with apache config..
http://tinyurl.com/yzjpsl
But the instances are all started but I have two problems.
1. I cant find the CF administrator for all the sites
2. I can go to each instance administrator page but not the
main one and also apache does not resolve the VHosts.
Thus if I type in the full domain for one of the instance
sites then I get the page not found..
SO assume my problem is with apache config since the instance
sites are started and I can access them on the LAN.
This is my changes I made to the config of apache..

Drag and drop between multiple instances of an executable

I want to know if there is a special way (not using Windows API) to drag and drop data between multiple instances of a same executable.
I have an application built in LabVIEW, where the main window can open a child window. Each window has a plot control. Between the two windows, a plot data of main window can be copied by drag and drop.
And I open another instance of the same executable. Now there are two executables(A and B).
I want to drag and drop a plot data from the main window of B to the child window of A. But in this case, Drag Enter Event is not fired. I think that the event seems to be fired only inside an executable.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AB268878693EF4B586257037004A6725 says that Queue or Semaphore is working only inside an executable. Is drag operation also valid only inside a process?

Hi,
Placed images (as opposed to pasted images) in Indesign are by their very nature pointers to an external image file, so there is no way to slim down the size of your exported PDF other than by playing with the export settings. Other than that, ensure that your file is placed in Indesign at 100% and at the correct resolution for your desired output. If you open the PDF in Acrobat, you can also save as a reduced size PDF which may help.
Good luck!

Disk and tempdb configuration for multiple Instances in one SQL cluster

Hi Everyone ,
I am in planing to build SQL Cluster on Blade server . Two blades are allocated for SQL. and planning to cluster those two blades. It will be windows 2012R2 and SQL 2012/2014. Initially it was plan to put most of database on one SQL instance. but
due to other requirements I will be Installing more SQL Instance on same cluster.
for now Everything will be on RAID 10 but do not have more details about storage yet that how it will get configured
256 GB Ram on Each blade server.
1) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for data and log files when each instance get added?
2) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for tempdb files when each instance get added?
3) Each Instance Tempdb file on Same drive is good practice?
Any other Best practices should follow for this setup?
Thank you ....
Please Mark As Answer if it is helpful. \\Aim To Inspire Rather to Teach A.Shah

1) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for data and log files when each instance get added?
Keep both the sql instances in diffèrent drives.read the below link for RAID levels and according to your usage you can cofigure it..
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190764%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
Storage best practice.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966534.aspx
2) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for tempdb files when each instance get added?
Its good to have sepreate drive for tempdb and each instance too with correct allocation or configuration..RAID5
for data if you must, but have to keep a spare drive around for that.
Best is 10 everywhere. If that's too expensive, then 1 or 10 for log and 5 for data (and 10 for TempDB)
RAID 5 is terrible for logs because it has a high write overhead. Tran logs are write-heavy, not read-heavy.
3) Each Instance Tempdb file on Same drive is good practice?
Tempdb configuration is depends, its completelty based on your server and tempdb usage..Make sure to have equal size for all the files in tempdb, As a general rule, if the number of logical processors is less than 8, use the same number of data files
as logical processors. If the number of logical processors is greater than 8, use 8 data files and then if contention continues, increase the number of data files by multiples of 4 (up to the number of logical processors) until the contention is reduced to
acceptable levels or make changes to the workload/code.

Shared Objects: How to store and read multiple instances

Hi,
Can we store multiple instances of Shared Objects in memory and read the desired instance.
e.g
If i execute the below program twice then also it will create only a single instance in the memory.
Can we create a memory object with a key and then read the instance with the object with key
data: handle type ref to ZCL_SHM_AREA_XX,
root type ref to ZCL_SHM_AREA_ROOT_XX.
handle = ZCL_SHM_AREA_XX=>attach_for_write( ).
create object root AREA HANDLE handle.
root->FORM = 'Termination'.
handle->set_root( root ).
handle->detach_commit( ).

MSCS and multiple ASCS/JSCS instances

Hi
Outside of the HP Competent Cluster offering can anyone tell me if SAP are developing support for multiple SAP Central services instances in a single MSCS.
With the multiple Netweaver and SAP instances that are now required in modern landscapes,
coupled with the relatively high performance in SAPS of entry level servers, we need a cost
effective way of providing HA that maximises the potential of these servers and consolidates where possible.
It would also be useful to understand what the technical restriction is that prevents this at the moment.
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
Sorry for the delayed reply on this.
I checked internally with our experts on this question. Here is an edited reply:
Our colleagues are working on a technical solution, which will make it possible to install multiple 640, 700 and 710 SCS/ASCS (kernel releases) instances on a single MSCS cluster:
We are planning to have a separate CD shipment which will support the multiple SAP systems and a separate document. On the CD will be included options:
- Clustreing First MSCS node
- clustering additional MSCS node
- Enque (ERS) instance installation
It can be for used for any 700 or 640 SCS/ASCS instance.
Support will be limited.
The following conditions for SAP support apply to:
->One clustered SAP system in one MSCS cluster with two MSCS nodes or one clustered SAP system in two MSCS clusters.
If you have one of these MSCS configurations and you use SAPinst to install such an MSCS system, you get SAP support with the installation, configuration, and operation.
->Multiple SAP systems with one or more MSCS cluster(s) and two or more MSCS nodes
For such complex MSCS systems you need in-depth knowledge of and experience with the Windows operating system, the Microsoft Cluster Service, the sizing and clustering of an SAP system. Therefore, the installation and configuration of such an MSCS system must be performed by an SAP Global Technology Partner, who supports any installation and configuration problems that arise from this MSCS configuration.
Only then does SAP support the operation of this MSCS system.
Best Regards,
Matt

Single DB Engine and multiple DB Instances approach

Hi Tech Arch gurus,
Need some advice from all of you. We are currently planning to install SAP training systems to latest versions.
We are getting recommendations to goahead with Dedicated host for Oracle Installation where we have Single DB Engine and multiple DB Instances for all different 7 SAP Servers (ECC6, CRM7, BI/NW7.3, SOLMAN7.01, SRM7, EP/NW7.3, PI7.1).
Certain things that need to be clarified before we go ahead with this:
1.     How complex/simple is this approach ?
2.     If there are some issues noticed in the future (Performance issues etc) in this landscape , how much effort will be required to migrate out a DB instance for an SAP product to another machine. We would be having both ABAP and Java stack for our systems.
3.     We would later plan for adding some more systems into the landscape like SAP MDM, SAP CE, SAP BPC etc. If we add all these systems with a single DB engine, would there be performance issues etc. (We are operating under assumption that underlying hardware of the DB engine will be powerful enough)
Can you please provide some expert guidance on this approach?
Your response would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
MD

As a consultant I never dared to do different from what SAP says in guides or notes, at least when it comes to PRD systems.
For QA and Test Systems, discussions might be needed with the customer, depending on how important these systems are,
and for sandboxes I already did some stuff, that will even scare some Oracle guys
As Stefan says, the technical setup is not that complicate at all.
But I never had to fight for a support call in a non-supported Environment, so I can't say.
I always decided to be on the safe side.
If you have your Oracle License directly from Oracle you might disscuss such special support issues with these guys.
The problem is: If you get a call, and the first level support guy from SAP spots the non-supported environment, it MIGHT be possible that you need to escalate and may be pay for the support, but I suppose they will not let your system die
May be some of the SAP moderator guys can throw a comment in on this.

Is it possible to deploy SharePoint or its Service Applications on: multiple DB-Servers and multiple SQL Instances?

Hello Forum,
We have a SharePoint 2013 farm (Enterprise edition) that uses one single SQL Server 2012 (Standard edition). That statement means: All my SharePoint DBs e.g. (Config, Admin, Content, and Service Apps) DBs are hosted and running onto one single instance e.g.
Server1\SQLInstance1.
We have some new requirements to install and configure BI tools such as: PerformancePoint services and PowerPivot. BI tools require either SQL Server 2012 Enterprise or BI editions, and we do NOT want to upgrade our current SQL Server1\SQLInstance1
Instead, We have other separate SQL Server instance which is enterprise edition let's name it (ServerX\InstanceX) that is running standalone, and we are thinking or using it, and my 2 questions are:
1) Can we use this other separate
SQL Server instance which is enterprise edition to host the create and hosts the DBs of PerformancePoint services and PowerPivot ?
2) My second question is the same: Can I create PerformancePoint services application in my SharePoint farm, But in the Database Server field, I fill up
the details of the other DB server ServerX\InstanceX which is the one that is SQL
enterprise edition ? Will this work ?
Any official Microsoft resources/links tell that it is possible to deploy SharePoint or its service applications on multiple DB-Servers and multiple SQL Instances?

Thank you Alex and Anil,
What are the ramifications of that?
I mean, Assuming that I have created such a farm where most of SarePoint DBs in Standard SQL instance while the PerformancePoint service application and others e.g. PowerPivot and reporting service are deployed and configured onto other Enterprise SQL instance.
Are there any recommendations or concerns that you would like to draw my attention to ?
