Calling MSBuil with arguments in PowerShellScript

Hi,
I am trying to call below line of code from powershell script. But it is giving an error..Installer.target file exists in the same location (C:\Projects\Main\src>).
What is the wrong with below code? Could you please advise.
PS C:\Projects\Main\src> "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSB
uild\12.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" installer.targets /target:Installer /p:Version=1.0.8.

Hi,
well, the first thing that is wrong is how you are trying to launch an application. Try this instead:
Start-Process $msbuild -ArgumentList @("installer.targets", "/target:Installer", "/p:Version=1.0.8.0")

Call function with arguments in AS3

Hello!
I`m a new in Flex developing, and cannot understand same code
convention, im Java programmer.
How I can write correct function call in ActionScript, my
call: var goodsWnd:CreateGoodsWindow =
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this,
CreateGoodsWindow, true) as CreateGoodsWindow;
I wish call function above with argument, how I do that?
Where my class: public class CreateGoodsWindow extends
extends TitleWindow
public CreateGoodsWindow(data:Object)
}

Use PopUpManager.addPopUp() instead of createPopUp().
addPopUp takes an object that has already been instantiated:
var createGoodsWindow:CreateGoodsWindow = new
CreateGoodsWindow(data);
PopUpManager.addPopUp(createGoodsWindow);

(JavaScript, CS3) calling functions with arguments on click?

Hi all,
this is getting tricky:
I want to call a function when the user clicks on a button in my scripted application (a javascript window dialog).
Unfortunately, I need to pass several arguments to the function.
According to the scripting documentation, ".onClick" functions won't take arguments.
I would (somewhat reluctantly) work with (global) variables but the function itself is limited to variables within its own scope - blocking all variables set in main()
How should I approach this?
The basic idea is to have people set some settings in the UI and then do some things after they click ok.
The actual work is pretty complicated (replacing colors etc) and needs to be done to a lot of objects so it would make sense to do it in a function.
I'm pretty confused right now and don't know how to proceed.
Any hints are appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mike

It took some tinkering but I got it to work.
But I still don't see how I can access the whole DOM from within the onClick functions:
I can get to the dialog properties (this.parent.parent) but nevertheless don't have any way to access app.documents and such.
I was able to manage my way around by making the whole window a dialog instead of a window - thereby getting a return value from the OK button and being able to run the code from within main().
Still strange, though...
Cheers,
Mike

About calling method with arguments

Hi,
I have a problem about calling method using reflection. my method is like follows:
public myMethod(Integer var1, MyObject mobj) {
I've tried to call the method using the following code,
Class[] parameterTypes = new Class[] {Integer.class, MyObject.class};
Object[] arguments = new Object[] {new Integer(2), mobj};
Method met=cl.getMethod("myMethod", parameterTypes);
But the in the last line NoSuchMethodException is thrown.
How can I send the reference of MyObject to myMethod()?
Thanx
rony

Should work ok:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class Test {
     static class MyObject {}
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          Class c = Test.class;
          Class[] parameterTypes = new Class[] {Integer.class, MyObject.class};
          try {
               Object[] arguments = new Object[] {new Integer(2), new MyObject()};
               Method met = c.getMethod("myMethod", parameterTypes);
               met.invoke(new Test(), arguments);
          } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
               System.out.println(e);
          } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                 System.out.println(e);
          } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
               System.out.println(e);
     public void myMethod(Integer var1, MyObject mobj) {
          System.out.println("myMethod");
}

Exception calling "Activate" with "0" argument(s): "Topology does not contain any components of type Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Topology.AdminComponen

Hi,
I have a Sharepoint 2013 farm I am trying to provision search for (not the same as my other thread). However, I get the below error:
Exception calling "Activate" with "0" argument(s): "Topology does not contain any components of type Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Topology.AdminComponent"
In my script, I have the following:
New-SPEnterpriseSearchAdminComponent -SearchTopology $clone -SearchServiceInstance $SearchServiceInstanceServer3 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
So I am not sure why the error happens, when I am trying to set this component. However, it's not the first component to be set (index partition on non-local servers first). I can make it first, but why does this error happen?
UPDATE: I have noticed that the usage and health proxy on my farm is/was stopped, but I am not able to access the server(s) to look at this right now. Could this cause this issue?

Do you already have Admin component running for the Search Service Application?
Usage and Health Service will not cause this issue.

Hi Adil,
Document Library is different from a normal list. The document library contains files inside it. You need to update the code to add a document to the library. Then you can get hold of the List Item represented by that file and update its properties. Here
is an example:
$WebURL = "http://aissp2013/sites/TestSite"
$DocLibName = "Docs"
$FilePath = "c:\blogs.txt"
# Get a variable that points to the folder
$Web = Get-SPWeb $WebURL
$List = $Web.GetFolder($DocLibName)
$Files = $List.Files
# Get just the name of the file from the whole path
$FileName = $FilePath.Substring($FilePath.LastIndexOf("\")+1)
# Load the file into a variable
$File= Get-ChildItem $FilePath
# Upload it to SharePoint
$spFile = $Files.Add($DocLibName +"/" + $FileName,$File.OpenRead(),$false)
$item = $spFile.Item
$item["Title"] = "New Title"
$item.Update()
$web.Dispose()

Dynamic constructor call with arguments

hey all i am quite new to this dynamic creation stuff
basically i have an array of class literals i.e One.class Two.class Three.class
etc
i then loop through this array using the isInstance() method to find the objects correct type
when i find this type i want to then create an object of this type with arguments passed to the constructor
i know there is a way to create the object using a defualt non arg constructor call using newInstance()...
so to repeat is there a way to dynamically create an object while passing arguments to the constructor?
thanx rob

Call getContstructor() on the class passing it an array of argument types. Then call newInstance() on the Constructor object that gets returned passing it an array of the arguments.

How to run jar files with arguments?

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to run a jar file with arguments passed to its MAIN class?
If yes can you help me on how to do it?
Thanx

I am in complete agreement with FahleE. I'll refine it a bit.
On my machine (running RedHatLinux8.0) you can run the demos like this.
1. open a console window
2. go to the directory where the demo you wish to run, say, demo.jar, is located
for instance for the SwingSet2-demo
cd /usr/lib/java/demo/jfc/SwingSet2
3. run the jar file
java -jar demo.jar
In order to run it windows style, ie, launching by double clicking, save these lines in a file called
LaunchJar.sh
cd /usr/lib/java/demo/jfc/SwingSet2
java -jar demo.jar
where demo.jar is the jar file you want to run.
Right click on the LaunchJar.sh and go to the 'Properties' tab. Check the 'Execute' permissions for Owner/groups/others. You can also do the same thing by chmod command.
Now double-click on the LaunchJar.sh file: your application should be launched.
Palash.
Please Note: It is important to set the path variable to your JAVA_HOME directory....
Otherwise, instead of
java -jar demo.jar, you will need to use the full path to your JAVA_HOME/bin directory like:
JAVA_HOME/bin /java -jar demo.jar.
Where JAVA_HOME is the directory where you have installed java. Typically it is usr/java or usr/local/java

Setup JOB to run sh script with argument

Hi all,
Can anyone share your view and experience on How to setup Job to execute shell script with argument?
For example : I need to execute /export/home/joel/test.sh 20060921
20060921 is the argument.
If I define a program to execute the script, can I use DEFINE_PROGRAM_ARGUMENT to set the argument?
I am not sure because I have the understanding that it will only work with STORED_PROCEDURE program type.
How does Oracle Scheduler handle such case?
I really appreaciate your response.
Thanks

Hi,
The thread above contains information specific to shell scripts. For stored procedures you just set job_type to 'stored_procedure' , number_of_arguments to the number of arguments that you want to pass into the stored procedure and then call set_job_argument_value for each argument before finally enabling the job . So for example
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name=>'j1',
job_type=>'stored_procedure',
job_action=>'dbms_output.put_line',
number_of_arguments=>1);
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('j1', 1, 'this is my argument');
dbms_scheduler.enable('j1');
end;
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Listener calls Function plus Arguments??

Hi guys,
Not sure if there's an easy way to do this, I'd like a
listener to call a function with arguments when triggered.
Currently, what I have looks like this:
object.addEventListener(errorTrigger, functionToCall);
public function functionToCall():void {
...you get my idea...
And, I'd really like to add some arguments to the function. I
realize that if I use:
object.addEventListener(errorTrigger,
functionToCall(myArgument));
then it will want
functionToCall to
return a
function name to be used. Hopefully, you're still with me on
this...
The reason I want to add the arguments, is because I have
three different listeners.
And I'd rather not have three different functions to deal
with them, I'd rather consolidate it into one function and use the
argument to distinguish the difference.
Rather than:
object.listener(error1, function1);
object.listener(error2, function2);
object.listener(error3, function3);
function1 ():void {}
function1 ():void {}
function1 ():void {}
I'd prefer something like:
object.listener(error1, function(1));
object.listener(error2, function(2));
object.listener(error3, function(3));
function(num):void {}
Hopefully, that all makes sense. Sorry, I'd post the code,
but it's way to long, and I'd rather not confuse anyone with
something else contained within it.
More than happy to try and cut it down if someone needs to
see the code though.
Cheers
Oz

Thanks for your efforts, I don't quite know whether it's what
I'm looking for though.
The events I am using are predefined by Flex's upload
function. So, this may help:
fileUpload.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS,
uploadError);
fileUpload.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
uploadError);
fileUpload.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
uploadError);
And I'd really like to add the parameters to the end, like
so:
fileUpload.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS,
uploadError(param));
fileUpload.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
uploadError(param));
fileUpload.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
uploadError(param));
Is this something that I have to cast to / extend apon the
existing events using your technique above? In essence, creating a
duplicate of this event?
Thanks
Oz.

Whether dbms_job accept procedure with argument

I am a new Oracle User.
Following is the code i am trying to make run.
create or replace trigger pp
after insert
on pipe
for each row
v_job number;
p number;
begin
p:=:new.id;
dbms_job.submit(v_job, 'sample(p);', null);
end;
Here p is the inserted value in column id of table pipe
& sample is a procedure with argument of type number.
Is it possible to call a procedure by dbms_job with argument from new inserted value in the table by using a trigger.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, like this:

Call tranasaction with skip first screen in ecc6

Hi,
We are doing upgrade from 4.7 to ecc 6. We are getting an error while running a report( The addition "AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN" can't be used with "CALL TRANSACTION .. USING". ) in ecc6. This is not showing error in 4.7. Call transaction with skip first screen is fine in 4.7. But it is throwing an error in ecc6.
Could anybody provide me the pointers to rectify this error.
Regards,
Ramesh

Hi
Did you pass all the mandatory field values to the calling transaction , Because when you use this addition you need to pass all the mandatory field values then only it works fine. Check out whether you are passing all the mandatory field values.
