Call Teststand with JAVA

Hello,
I'm new in this forum.
I would know if it's possible to open TestStand from JAVA.
If yes, how ?
Thanks

TestStand is built on ActiveX. So if you can call activex from Java then you can call TestStand.
My guess is that you need some sort of COM bridge for Java that will allow it to call ActiveX objects. Then you would create a TS engine and then use that engine handle to manipulate TestStand.
Here is a document on the object model for TestStand:

Hope this helps,

Do you know how to call RDF with java code?

Say me a tip!
Environment:
Linux, Reports 6i,java beans, jsp
My mission is to run a report with java code.
But I don't know how to.
Basic flow is :
On web browser, call jsp a program and
that jsp call a java module,
and the java module call a reports RDF with parameters
I don't need reponse message from rwcgi60 or rwrun60.

hello,
the easiest way is to use the regular HTTP request to either the servlet or the CGI to run a report request from within a java-class.

Call export with java function stop after a time

Hi
we make a function java for call exp.exe.
We pass at java's function a string
we use this code
/* * ExecuteCmd.java * This is a sample application that uses the Runtime Object * to execute a program. * */
/* Import the classes needed for Runtime, Process, and Exceptions */
import java.lang.*;
//import java.lang.Process;
import java.io.*;
//import java.lang.InterruptedException;
class ExecuteCmd {
public static int Cmd(String args) {
try {
/* Execute the command using the Runtime object and get the
Process which controls this command */
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(args);
/* Use the following code to wait for the process to finish
and check the return code from the process */
try {
p.waitFor();
/* Handle exceptions for waitFor() */
} catch (InterruptedException intexc) {
//System.out.println("Interrupted Exception on waitFor: " + intexc.getMessage());
return -1;
return p.exitValue();
/* Handle the exceptions for exec() */
} catch (IOException e) {
// System.out.println("IO Exception from exec : " + e.getMessage());
// e.printStackTrace();
return 1;
after a time the export begin but stop after some time.
If the schema is little like not table but some sequence the export gone normally but if the schema is big the export stop after a time but we dont have a trace with log.
Can you help

I think you need to gobble up the output from the command you are exec'ing. If the exec'd command fills up your command space buffer it will stop when the buffer is full.
Try adding the lines
String s = new String();
while ((s = p.readLine())!=null)
after the try block to gobble up the output from your command call.

'UnknownHostException: proxy' after calling Webstart with Java 6

Hello,
after calling a Java Webstart application with 1.6.0_13, installed (exactly: build 1.6.0_13-b03), I've got an 'UnknownHostException: proxy' (detailed stacktrace see below) at the beginning of the log output. This error log doesn't appear with 1.5.0_16. Nevertheless the webstart application is running on both Java versions (5 and 6); only that error log on Java 6 is strange.
What may be the reason for this 'UnknownHostException: proxy' log?
How to avoid this exception even for Java 6?

I wrote application but I did not get PWD (output parameter) value. I checked RFC running poreperly.I did not achieve to get PWD.
How can I do that?
Thanks.

Hi Bala,
I checked RFC, it is running properly and getting the output value.
And I used command below, but it produces error

Re: [Fwd: Java Applet IIOP Call-In with Release 3C--How dowe speed up d

Hi Michael,
We have done exactly what you describe and have avoided the slow applet
download times. Although it can be a bit tricky, it is possible to use
the ORB bundled inside the Netscape 4.0 browser (Visibroker for Java by
Visigenic). Most of the code should follow Netscape's examples (on
http://developer.netscape.com)--just remember to initialize the ORB by
passing a reference to the current applet in orb_init() (so that you
invoke something like orb_init(this) [assuming you are extending
java.applet.Applet]). Pulling up the Java console within your web
browser should help debug quite a bit (a lot of debug messages will get
printed there the ORB is having problems).
Netscape has just implemented the applet caching schemes you describe,
so it probably shouldn't matter too much if you use another vendor's
ORB (we've done this with Iona's OrbixWeb). If you use ZIP files, they
have to be uncompressed, and I don't think that the browser will cache
them between browser sessions. Netscape 4.0 does seem to handle
compressed JAR files just fine and it does indeed cache them between
browser sessions. I'd go with the JAR format anyway since the ZIP
bundling was just a workaround until Sun got their act together in the
1.1 JDK.
By the way, you also might want to take advantage of the code-signing
and capabilities APIs of Netscape if you are going to invoke methods on
objects not resident on your web server. Otherwise, you will probably
run into the (in)famous browser applet security restrictions and you may
have other problems doing things like callbacks from Forte, etc.
If you want more detail on how it works, let me know and I can post some
examples.
Oh, one last thing: we are a consulting firm specializing in these kinds
of things :)

Subject: Java Applet IIOP Call-In with Release 3C--How do we speed up download time.
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 1997 09:10:31 -0500
From: Michael Nelson <[email protected]>
To: "'[email protected]'" <[email protected]>
We have successfully implemented a simple Java Applet that calls into
Forte Services via IIOP. However, the duration of the download time
for
Applet and its required class files is UNACCEPTABLE in a typical
INTERNET environment where 28.8K modems and multiple hops around the
net
are not uncommon. We dialed into our network at 28.8K (but no
hopping),
and found that download times varied from 1.5 - 2.0 minutes. This is
unacceptable, even by internet standards. We have been using the
Visigenic Visibroker product as the ORB.
After doing some investigation, we've come up with several ideas to
speed up download time:
1. Figure out how to use the Visigenic components (CORBA/IIOP class
files) that come bundled with the latest version of the Netscape
Navigator browser, so that they don't have to be downloaded
2. Figure out how to use ZIP files. Here's what I've read: "Since
the
introduction of Netscape Navigator 3.0, you can specify an
uncompressed
.zip file as an addition to the code base of your application. By
specifying a ZIP file, the browser will load your applet's classes
from
a specified ZIP file before it searches the code base. This ZIP can
improve applet download time by reducing the number of HTTP
connections
required to fetch applet code. As an added benefit, Netscape caches
the
single ZIP file so that it will not reload your applet unless the date
of the ZIP file has changed."
3. Figure out how to use JAR files. Here's what I've read: "JAR
stands for Java archive. It's a file format based on the popular ZIP
file format and is used for aggregating many files into one. Although
JAR can be used as a general archiving tool, the primary motivation
for
its development was so that Java applets and their requisite
components
can be downloaded to a browser in a single HTTP transaction, rather
than
opening a new connection for each piece. This greatly improves the
speed with which an applet can be loaded onto a web page and begin
functioning. The JAR format also supports compression, which reduces
the
size of the file and improves download time still further."
Unfortunately, we've been unable to get any of these approaches to
work.
Has any one used these or other approaches to speed up applet
download
time? Or, does anyone know of consulting firms that specialize in
this
sort of thing?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Cemil,
There's a seperate Web Dynpro forum for such posts, you should take a look there.
Nonetheless, the classic tutorial is the FlightList. If I was you, I would make sure to do this tutorial step-by-step as it should give you the fundamentals for understanding aRFC. On top of that, it's most likely already available to you on your SAP system...

OSB java call out with array parameters

Hi all,
I have a java call out with array parameters, follow the firm of java method:
logBody2(String category, XmlObject headerXml, String[] level, XmlObject[] xml)
The java call out have String[] and XmlObject[] arrays in intput, my question is how I can pass these arrays of values at java call out?
Thk
L.

For array, comma-separated values should be passed. For e.g. -
If input parameter is of type String[] then passed values should be comma-separated strings like - 'Anuj','Dwivedi'
If input parameter is of type XmlObject[] then passed values should be comma-separated XmlObject like - <anuj/>,<dwivedi/>

How to call a C method with Java

Hi all,
is it possible calling a C method with Java?? And how to...?
thx for helping
Cobol1

is it possible calling a C method with Java?? And how to...?Not in general no.
You can use JNI which will call another C function (which you write) and which then calls your C method.
If the method is of a specific type (like OLE, Corba) then there are packages available which can allow you to access it. They still use JNI underneath, but hide that functionality from you.

Call report from java with deployment of java web start

I need call report from java,the call function is:execURL ( String pURL )
pURL is a url link to call report from report services .
such as :http://10.20.1.43:8888/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=PDF&report=test.rdf&user=scott/tiger@cims
public static void execURL ( String pURL )
String tempstr = new String();
int posIdx = 0;
if ( (System.getProperty("os.name").equals("Windows NT"))||
(System.getProperty("os.name").equals("Windows 2000")) )
posIdx = pURL.indexOf("&");
while ( posIdx > 0 )
tempstr = pURL.substring(0,posIdx)+"^"+pURL.substring(posIdx);
pURL = tempstr;
posIdx = pURL.indexOf("&",posIdx+2);
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start "+pURL);
catch (Exception e1) {System.out.println(e1.getMessage()); }
else
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start "+pURL);
catch (Exception e2)
System.out.println(e2.getMessage());
It's run with no problem with deployment of simple jar.
But when i call report with deployment of java web start,it can not.
I think it's java secuity problem,so i add
Permission java.io.FilePermission "c://winnt//system32//cmd.exe", "execute";
in java.policy file in client(windows 20000).However ,it can not too.
Who can help me,Thanks in Advance!

David,
In your code, 'cmd' is invoked as Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start "+pURL);
but in your policy file you specify
Permission java.io.FilePermission "c://winnt//system32//cmd.exe", "execute";
Before creating a new process, the security manager checks for FilePermission(cmd,"execute")
if cmd is an absolute path, otherwise it calls checkPermission with
FilePermission("<<ALL FILES>>","execute"). Try specifying
FilePermission("<<ALL FILES>>","execute") in your policy file.
But, I believe using exec, may not be the right solution as it may not work on
other platforms. Also you will have to expect the client m/c to relax security
permission.
Did you consider using java.net.HttpUrlConnection class instead to access the report
service URL?

Java Step Types with Java Virtual Machine higher than java-6u16?

Documentation of Java steps says, that these steps are tested with java version 6 update 16. I am talking about the java step types that can be found in directory <TestStand Public>\TestStand 2010\Examples\Java.
If I install another java version, e. g. java 7, step "Start JVM" will exit with an error "-4" and error message "Could not launch JVM.". While Debugging source code of JavaCall.dll, I figured the failing code line out:
"fpCreateJVM(&jvm,(void**)&env,&vm_args);" is the execution of function "JNI_CreateJavaVM" and returns error code -4.
Till now I could not find out, why the jvm does not start. I guess -4 means "Insufficient memory to create the JVM." (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370052J-01/tssuppref/infotopics/java_steps_errors/)
Has anyone an advice for me?

This post gave me a hint: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3400292/jni-enomem-from-jni-createjavavm-when-calling-dll-that-us...
Though my development computer has enough ram, jvm is started within the Teststand process which offers limited memory. I changed JavaCall.c and added parameter "-Xmx64m" to the jvm creation call. Now it works with jre 7.
Because memory space Teststand offers to the jvm is different on different computers, an implementation would be nice that checks how much memory is available and then passes the calculated <MEM> as parameter "-Xmx<MEM>m". Here is an example implementation: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1546540

XSLT Mapping with Java class not working in Integration Repository

Hi,
I have an XSLT mapping program with Java enhancement and I was able to successfully tested it in Stylus Studio. However, when I imported the Java class and the xslt program in Enterprise Service Builder and tested it, my program does not compile.
Here is the error message: "Transformer Configuration Exception occurred when loading XSLT mapping_temp.xsl; details: Could not compile stylesheet".
My java program is in a zip file containing SOAPHeaderHandler.java and SOAPHeaderhandler.class. My Java has a package com.nga.xslt.
Here is the declaration of my Java class in the XSLT: xmlns:javamap="java:com.nga.xslt.SOAPHeaderHandler"
It seems that it could not read the java class. Can you please advice what is wrong?

Hi ,
select XMLTOOLKIT option in Operation mapping and execute it.
I am not sure we can call java program in XSLT Program,but alternative is copy the code and use it in XSLT mapping it self,that means your XSLT program will become with JAVA extensions.
then in Operation mapping level select SAPXMLTOOL kit option and execute it. i hope it will work. if it is not working then you have deploy some JAXP files on server,because the way execution of XSLT Mpaping program got changed,like when eve you executing XSLT with extnasions( if you are not using XMLTOOL kit option) then you have to use latest version of JAXP.JDK files.

Problem with Java and Windows (Mainly Vista and UAC)

Hi all,
I am having a problem with a program that I've devoloped. The program itself is packaged as a jar and I plan to deploy it across multiple platforms eventually however right now i am only concerned about windows based systems. I have made an installer for a windows baised systems using NSIS to install the software files. I made the installer as I need several java packages to be installed so the program would work (JAI, J3D, JAI ImageIO) and I also require the program to have fileassociations on windows.
I know that this is not what java is about, however the majority of the users will be on windows baised systems so I've decided that OS specific installers is the best option.
During the process I have noticed that there are several key problem with java for this type of application!
The first issue that I have come across is getting file associations to work on java. As a .jar is not an excutable it is not possible to directly associate a filetype with it in java so to overcome this I currently run the program from a .bat files and also the program requires large memory so this also allows me to run the program with -xmx. The batch file that I use is :
<code>
cd PATH TO PROGRAM
start javaw -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xmn100M -Xms500M -Xmx1000M -jar "PATH TO PROGRAM\program.jar" %1 -vram 134217728
pause;
</code>
Ok so all this appears to work fine and allows windows to have file associations and start the program and thats all works perfectly but this is a non-ideal solution. Has anyone got any advice on improving this?
The next problem that I have appears to be a problem with Vista and UAC (user access control). When a user installs the program and installs the program into the program files directory I found that the program did not work and kept saying that I did not have access to the files in the current directory. This is a problem as I read and write settings files during program execution.
On a Vista system UAC prevents file write operations into the Program Files directory unless the program has requested elevated status even if the user is a full administrator. The probem is that there appears to be no real way to achieve this under java that I'm aware of...
Has anyone else had this probem and has a suitable solution?
Any advice on these issues would realy be appricated.
Regards
Joey

Ok so i've kinda found a solution, its not ideal but its very good. I found this program called Elevate
A link to the site I got it was
http://www.wintellect.com/cs/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2007/03/27/elevate-a-process-at-the-command-line-in-vista.aspx
This program allows you start java with a UAC dialog for high access using
Elevate java -jar myjar.jar
This then allows you to have full access using java... I guess it could be dangerous but it does the job.

Call Teststand with JAVA
