Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.

Sql 2008 R2
Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.
If I call rs.exe with the various parameters from the command prompt I have success(other than rs.exe using the temp folder, which is a different issue). But when I try to execute the same process from a Visual Basic 6.0 application utilizing
the ShellEx api call, the report creation and output to PDF format do not occur. There is no error raised.
Yes, I wish I could use a newer dev tool but that isn't an option right now. I think this should work. Can ya'll tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hello Jim,
The path for rs.exe includes spaces, you should set it in hyphen, as you already did for file "RunOrdReports.rss" in variable "sArgs2

Running a SqlPlus script with AT.EXE on WIN NT4.0

Hi guys,
I've to periodically run a simple batch script to update some tables on an Oracle DB. Since I'm
running a Server Win NT4.0 SP6 I made a .cmd that calls a sqlplus script and I'm trying to
schedule it using the AT.EXE service.
When I run the .cmd outside from the AT it works fine; when I try to run it using AT something
goes wrong and I got this error:
ERROR:
ORA-03113 end-of-file on communication channel
I suspect it depends on how AT / sqlplus handle standard I/O but I wasn't able to find the
right way to call them or a work around to make things work.
Any suggestion ??
TIA,
Max
Here's the script:
@echo off
rem
rem run sql script (connect info in script)
rem
sqlplus -S /NOLOG @d:\UpdBatch\upd_table.sql %1 %2
rem
rem trace result in EventLong
rem
SET result=%ERRORLEVEL%
IF '%result%'=='1' LOGEVENT -m \\MINERVA -s E -e 1 -r "BATCH UPDATE" "Error updating tables!"
goto finished
LOGEVENT -m \\MINERVA -s I -e 0 -r "BATCH UPDATE" "Tables Updated!"
:finished
echo "Done!"
and I register it in AT in this way:
D:>at 15:30 cmd.exe /C "d:\UpdBatch\my_script.cmd 10 20 > d:\temp\out.txt"
null

I did not notice that the cut and paste was poor. It should have read
SQL> @dm$load.pkb
SP2-0310: unable to open file "dm$load.pkb"
SQL> host ls
dm$load.pkb
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Problem with Place call in a script with HTTP trigger

Hi!
I'm trying to develop a sample script, associated to an application that has an HTTP trigger. I'm working with UCCX Premium 8.5.1
The trigger is working OK, but the place call output is allways "unsuccessful". The number to call and the redirect number are extensions of the same IPT platform.
Below you will find print-screen of the script. Besides, I'm attaching the .aef file.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Roy.

The value in your "Call Control Group" must match the "Group ID" in your CM Telephony Call Control Group Configuration
This is from my lab system so the "AgentsLoggedIn" variable would need to contain 1 or 3. You are telling the script which CTI port group to make the call with. You have a 0 in your AgentsLoggedIn so do you have a Group ID of 0?
Your CTI group must be able to make the call so must have the correct partition/Calling Search Space

ERROR - NetFx3 role processing with DISM.exe failed, rc = -2146498529

I am deploying Windows 8.1 x64 with update using MDT 2013 and everything works perfectly until the Apply Patches is changed from "Nothing" to my "Windows 8.1 x64 Updates" profile (which contains all the offline updates) is there a particular
patch I should be looking for to eliminate? If I change it back to "Nothing" .NET 3.5 installs fine.
Chris

You should have something in your bdd.log. If you're in WinPE, it's on your OSDisk under MININT.
Also, I've seen a lot of people recommend not patching through the package functionality. Depending on the patch, stuff like that I usually let Windows Update handle that through our WSUS. The specific feature you're trying to install is a pain in
the *** though. I came up with a workaround for this when building out my Windows 8.1 image. Instead of trying to patch the .NET 3.5 install, I created an application with the command line -
Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:"Y:\Operating Systems\Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64\sources\sxs" /limitaccess
Your drive letter here will either be Z: if you have no network logging, or Y: if you have network logging enabled.
All this is doing is pointing back to DS Windows 8.1 SXS directory so the install has it's source directory. I'm not sure why they went with this method, and it's also extremely annoying in a Windows Recovery/Reset scenario as this install resides
in an area that will not be captured in the recovery image. Hope this helps.

Running Scripts with sqlplusw.exe

Hi,
My requirement is I've to run a script, which will take connection info (logon window) and then run my file.
much like sqlplusw.exe xx @c:\abc.sql. Now I can't put xx as username. I've to write it such a way that, it'll ask for conn info(username,password and connect string) then execute the script.
Thanks in advance.

Windows 8.1 Batch Scripts for devcon.exe

HiI'm using batch script with devcon.exe for cleaning usb ghost devices. On XP and Win 7 it works perfect but on windows 8.1 only if i manualy paste commands on "administrator command line" but it wont start from my batch script. Is there any solution for windows 8 to enable security rule for batch script? Win 8 is so annoying for any type of scripts even gpo. At the moment im trying to resolve this problem with PowerShell.This is how script looks like:
Text@echo offDEVCON Find * | FIND /I /V "matching device(s)" > "%Temp%\DevconFind.txt"FOR /F "tokens=1 delims=: " %%A IN ('DEVCON FindAll * ^| FIND /I /V "matching device(s)"') DO (TYPE "%Temp%\DevconFind.txt" | FIND "%%~A" >NULIF ERRORLEVEL 1 %Debug% DEVCON Remove "@%%~A")DEL "%Temp%\DevconFind.txt"

Uninstall it. Reboot. Then install. Reboot.
All of this should be done as Run as Administrator or it will fail.
16GIG or Larger usb flash drive is required. 8 gigs is too small.

WAS 6.40 ABAP stack install - error with sapstartsrv.exe - Help needed!

Hi all,
Can anyone assist me with a new installation issue? I am trying to perform an initial install of WAS 6.40 SP3 ABAP stack (non unicode) using the NW Master CD and CD51030103 for the SAP Kernel on a vanilla W2K AS server.
I also have a previously installed working version of EP6.0 SP9 on WAS 6.40 (SP9) on the same physical server.
The problem is occuring at the Create and reregister services part of the new 6.40 kernel install, I am getting the message:
WARNING 2004-12-08 18:45:26
Execution of the command "F:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\exe\run/sapstartsrv.exe '-r' '-q' '-p' 'F:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\profile\START_DVEBMGS00_devbox01' '-s' 'IDS' '-n' '00' '-U' 'devbox01\SAPServiceIDS' '-P' 'XXXXXX' '-e' 'devbox01\idsadm'" finished with return code -1. Output: Test call to Service failed.Profile parameter SAPSYSTEMNAME or SAPSYSTEM doesn't match installation parameters.Service not correctly installed.
ERROR 2004-12-08 18:45:26
MOS-01011 'F:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\exe\run/sapstartsrv.exe' returned with '-1'.
I have had no problems in the past in installing a 6.20 kernel on the same host as a portal server, but this time with 6.40 I have had no luck.
I have tried replacing the version of sapstartsrv.exe from the
..usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run directory with a more recent version to see if the exe version was the problem but this has not resolved.
I have also tried to run the installation again without deleting the previous files, and this has also made no difference.
I have read through most of the forum's regarding problems with sapstartsrv.exe failing, but couldn't find anything that can help fix my problem.
If anybody thinks they can help, it would be most appreciated
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Sergio, hi Paul,
I'm getting the same error while trying to install with RI 2.5. Interesting enough, I also have a 6.20 installed on the same machine.
Sergio, do you mean by your last post one should change the system nr when configuring the installation?
Paul, did you find a workaround/solution?
Thanks in advance

How do you receive a call on your computer with the new OS X?

How do you receive a call on your computer with the new OS X?

The following quotation is from http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/continuity/
The link shows a picture of the Notification. Below it says there is "nothing to set up" but I believe that you need to have FaceTime activated (signed in) on both devices as there is a setting on iPhone/iPad in Settings > FaceTime where you turn "iPhone Cellular Calls" on/off.
Sometimes when your iPhone rings, it’s not where you are. Maybe it’s charging in another room. Or it’s buried in your backpack. But your Mac or iPad is sitting right there. Now you can make and receive phone calls on those devices as long as your iPhone running iOS 8 is on the same Wi-Fi network. Incoming calls show the caller’s name, number, and profile picture. Just click or swipe the notification to answer, ignore, or respond with a quick message. And making a phone call from your iPad or Mac is just as easy. Simply tap or click a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari. It all works with your existing iPhone number, so there’s nothing to set up.

JSP calling a shell script (permission denied error)

HI there,
I am trying to execute a shell script command from JSP, and I am pretty close to getting it done. The actual shell comnmand I am trying to run
"scp test.txt somebody@somedomain:~/directory1/test.txt"
is working fine when I run it from the shell command line (when I am logged in as that somebody)
However, when I try to execute this script with the following JSP code (by accessing the JSP file from the browser, I get a permission denied error). The JSP file is set to 777 permission, and I have been trying lots of stuff with not much luck for a few days now .....
any input is much appriciated
<%@page language="java"%>
<%@page import="java.io.BufferedReader"%>
<%@page import="java.io.File"%>
<%@page import="java.io.InputStreamReader"%>
<%@page import="java.io.StringReader"%>
<%@page import="java.io.File"%>
<%@page import="java.io.FileInputStream"%>
<%@page import="java.io.FileReader"%>
<%@page import="java.io.Writer"%>
<html>
<body>
<%
String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
out.write(osName+"<br>");
String s = null;
String cmd1 = "scp test.txt somebody@somedomain:~/directory1/test.txt";
out.write("Execing \"" + cmd1 + "\"<br>");
File workDir = new File("/export/home/web/admintool/web/javatest");
try {
    Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd1, null, workDir);
    int exitValue = p1.waitFor();
    if (exitValue == 0){
        BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p1.getInputStream()));
        while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
            out.write(s + "<br>");
    else {
        BufferedReader stdErr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p1.getErrorStream()));
        while ((s = stdErr.readLine()) != null)
            out.write(s + "<br>");
    out.write("exit value is" + exitValue + "<br>");
catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e);
} %>
</body></html>

Doesn't matter what perms the JSP has.
The servlet container and web server must allow it to runtime.exec, for one, which is insecure and dangerous. Talk to your admin if you want that and they may sandbox it for you.
The next thing is that the JSP will run as the web server -- so the file to exec must be set as 777 or 755 with the web server uid in the same group as the owner (share gid).

Failed to initialize Databank exception when run from OLT

HI All,
I've created a script with an associated databank,that runs perfectly fine when run from OpenScript. But when I run from OLT, the following waring is encountered.
Start failure message from agent "OLT Server": oracle.oats.common.databank.DatabankException: Failed to initialize Databank 'Forms.forms'
Stopped Autopilot because of error on agent "OLT Server".
Name of my DB is : forms
and Script name is :Forms
Please let me know the solution for this.
Regards,
Karthik

Have you tried changing the parameter in the Assets/Databank "Save Path" from "Relative to current script" to "Relative to a repository"?

Error in calling SQL plus program with parameter from Shell script

This is my Shell script. I am trying to call in the SQL plus program with the parameter and the shell script is registered as a concurrent program.
PARAMETERS=`echo $1 |tr -d '\"'`
DB_USER_ID=`echo $PARAMETERS|cut -d" " -f3|cut -d"=" -f2`
CONN_STRING=$DB_USER_ID
REQ_DATE=`echo $PARAMETERS|cut -d" " -f9|cut -d"=" -f2`
timestamp=`date +%m-%d-%y-%H:%M:%S-%Z`
timestam=`date +%y-%m-%d`
sqlplus -s $CONN_STRING @ar_statement.sql $REQ_DATE
chmod 755 statement.sh
. statement.sh
My Sql plus program is like this.
set pagesize 0
set heading off
set feedback off
spool $GEC_TOP/log/ge_ar_statement.sh
select output_file_name
from fnd_concurrent_requests
where trunc(actual_completion_date) = '&2';
spool off;
exit;
When i run the concurrent program, i am getting the following error:
ar_statement: line 14: REQ_DATE: command not found
Enter value for 2:
User requested Interrupt or EOF detected.
ar_statement.sh: line 1: Enter: command not found
ar_statement.sh: line 2: User: command not found
ar_statement
Program exited with status 127
I am not strong at Unix Porgamming and i would request someone who can
help me out as soon as possible.
I need this solution quickly and thank everyone in advance.
Thanks.

Can you put your coding between code statements, like shown in the FAQ. It will be easier to read.
Looking at your script, my first guess is that crontab will not find your sqlplus since your script does not have $HOME/bin in the $PATH. From what I understand, running .profile in your script will not work either because variables are exported to sub-shells, not to the shell above. You can call your script with a dot like . ./script which means that the script will run like it was typed at the command prompt. But it will be less confusing to define appropriate variables in the script. eg.
ORACLE_SID=my_instance_name
ORACLE_HOME=/my_path_to_oracle_home_directory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
I remember some slightly different way of coding to handle the sqlplus return codes.
For instance:
sqlplus -s /nolog > /dev/null <<-EOF
connect system/manager
@ssm.sql
whenever oserror exit failure
whenever sqlerror exit failure
EOF
sql_err=$?
if [ $sql_err -ne 0 ]; then
echo "FAILURE"
else
echo "SUCCESS"
fiThe - in -EOF supresses tab's
Using connect will prevent ps from showing your login credentials
In some versions of bash the ending EOF needs to be at the beginning of the line to work.

complaining about putting code between code delimiters and forgot myself ;-)

Btw, if you "source" a script running it like . .script, than an exit in that script will log you out.

Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.
