Command line processing

Here the situation:
1) every day, I download (using a wget based scheduled batch) a pdf from a supplier.
2) To make it available for reading on the web, I use Google Docs, so I send an email to some people with the correct link for opening the daily file with Google Docs. This step is also automatically executed in the batch file.
I encountered some difficulties when the source pdf is larger than 20 Mb because of the Google Docs limitation. Considering that the file will be at max 25 Mb, I can solve the problem saving it with a different compatibility setting: the source file is Adobe Reader 5 compatible and I can shrink it by using Adobe Reader 7 or 8 compatibility.
That trick will save the over 20 Mbytes.
My question is: is there a way to do that from command line? I'd like to make the over-20-mb-conversion a step of my batch file.
Bye,
Dario

Found a working solution using GhostScript.
Thanks anyway for the clarification.

Could not call batch from command line processing

I am experiencing a strange scenario where I am able to run the FR report by scheduling a batch in HFM and that creates RecRecon successfully. I am trying to do this as a batch script by using the command line script ScheduleBatch.cmd <xml file> <server name> <user name> <pass word>.
This fails to create the report and I see an error message as below

Assigning parameters dynamically for command line processing

hi,
how do i put the parameter dynamically for post processing in the file adapter?
for processing UNIX scripting in the commandline in the receiver file adapter i need to use paramaters, like file name and directory dynamically. how can this be achieved?

Hello,
Only two parameters are availible in OS command in SAP PI.
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:

Robot Test fails with error message Invalid command line: process must be

Is there any problem in my machine ?
How Robot tests generally works ?
Thanks !

}from the API:
Note that some platforms require special privileges or extensions to access low-level input control. If the current platform configuration does not allow input control, an AWTException will be thrown when trying to construct Robot objects. For example, X-Window systems will throw the exception if the XTEST 2.2 standard extension is not supported (or not enabled) by the X server.

Hiding a web item through the command line URL

We use the Web API and command line processing heavily to pass in different filter values, variable values, data providers, etc. to our web reports. I had a requirement within a given area to launch our web reports with the Navigation block visible on the web template. In our commonly used 'default' web template, we currently allow the users to switch this item on/off once they are in the report, but we always have it come up Hidden initially.
My question is this: is there some trick to getting a web item property changed dynamically at execution time from Hidden=X to Hidden= ? I have tried numerous attempts to format a URL to change this behavior, but have been unsuccessful. A sample would be: &ITEM=GR6&MULTI=X&HIDDEN= --> this is intended to make all items with 'GR6' in the name unhidden. But in my case, it ends up making more web items visible than I want. Even specifying the Item name directly does not help.
I have also tried applying it in conjunction with a command sequence from the Web API docs. Is there a particular command that this has to go with (i.e. LDOC? RESET_WEB_ITEM? etc.)? We have a button on the web template that issues the command <SAP_BW_URL ITEM='GR6' MULTI='X' HIDDEN=''> when clicked -- this works fine. How do I apply the same type of logic to the initial URL within the command processing?
Any help would be appreciated. I know that I can resolve this by just creating a copy template with this web item set to Visible instead of Hidden at the launch. I was just thinking I could reuse the main web template and control it through the URL.
Thanks...

Heike,
maybe you can help me out on this one:
I'm trying to implement Tobias Kaufmann's How To Paper Web Printing with Excel.
Before calling the respective Abap classes from my web template, I want to hide the web item Hierarchical Filter Selection as this one comes out ugly when downloaded to Excel. So what I'm doing is, I first hide the Filter Selection and then call the Abap classes.
Here is the coding that I am using:

<td class="SAPBEXNavLine"><A href="<SAP_BW_URL
CMD_1='Item=HIERCONTEXTMENU_1&HIDDEN=X'
CMD_2='CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&HELP_SERVICE=HELP_SERVICE_PRINT&ITEM=Table_1&SUBCMD=PRINT_EXCEL'>">
<IMG alt="Web Print with Excel" src="/sap/bw/Mime/bex/icons/print.gif" border=0></A></td>
This coding is working fine.
The problem is however, that the Hierarchical Filter Selection is now hidden in my web template. To unhide it, I thought I'd use the coding as above, but add a third command (CMD_3) to make that item visible again.
Here is the coding:

<td class="SAPBEXNavLine"><A href="<SAP_BW_URL CMD_1='Item=HIERCONTEXTMENU_1&HIDDEN=X'
CMD_2='CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&HELP_SERVICE=HELP_SERVICE_PRINT&ITEM=Table_1&SUBCMD=PRINT_EXCEL'
CMD_3='Item=HIERCONTEXTMENU_1&HIDDEN='>">
<IMG alt="Web Print with Excel" src="/sap/bw/Mime/bex/icons/print.gif" border=0></A></td>
Unfortunately, only the commands CMD_1 and CMD_3 are being executed (which is kind of useless), the main command CMD_2 however is not.
Do you have any idea why this is happening and how to avoid this?
Really appreciating your help,
Regards,
Yogen

Design Question - Command Line Argument Processor

Folks,
I'm a java and OO newbie... I've been going through Sun's java tutorials
I've "enhanced" Sun's RegexTestHarness.java (using Aaron Renn's gnu.getopt package) to expose the various Pattern.FLAGS on the command line.
Whilst it does work the arguement processing code is awkward so I want to rewrite it... but I'm pretty new to OO, so before I spend days hacking away at a badly designed ArgsProcessor package I thought I'd run my deign ideas past the guru's... and atleast see if my ideas are impossible, or just plain bad.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Paul,
What are you trying to do, and why?Sorry I should have made myself a lot clearer...
What I'm really trying to do is learn Java, and good OO design... so I'm going through the Sun tutorials, and I see that the standard Pattern class has a few handy switches, so I wanted to expose them to the command line... which I did using the handy gnu.getopts library...
Are you trying to write a general purpose
command-line processing library?Yes, I'm trying to write a general purpose command-line processing library? one that's "cleaner" to use than the gnu.getopts.
I've been hacking away for a few hours and haven't gotten very far... what I have discovered is that gnu.getopts class is in fact very clever (surprise surprise)... and my idea to "simplify" it's usage leads to loss of flexibility. So, I'm starting to think I'm completely barking up the wrong tree... and that I was somewhat vanglorious thinking that I (a newbie) could improve upon it.
Are you trying to write a command-line app to do
pattern matching?Yep, That too... That's where I started... with an example from Sun's tutorials... where it's used to parse a long series of patterns and strings, exploring java's regex capabilities.
I think I'll just give up on "improving" on gnu.getopts... my options processing code is ugly, and so be it.
Thanx for your interest anyway.
Keith.

Command line printing - AdobeReader left open

Hello everyone,
I've a problem by printing pdfs using the command line. My VB-script contains a code line like following (including the quotation marks for document and printer):
process=myShell.Exec("c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader\Reader 8.0\AcroRd32.exe /t "c:\test.pdf" "myprintersname")
(print test.pdf on myprintersname)
This command runs nearly perfect; after printing the AdobeReader-window left open. I tried to use an Application.Activate(process.ProcessID) followed by SendKeys("%{F4}") to close the front window. My AdobeReader-window won't come to foreground and so the active window (e.g. firefox) gets the ALT-F4-shortcut and asks for closing.
Is there another command line parameter or solution available to close the named pdf-document AND AdobeReader after printing the document?
Thanks for help
gerald
UPDATE: I've found a solution for this problem. After executing the command line (process=myShell.Exec.......) there's a "script sleeping time" needed, e.g. WScript.Sleep 10000 (wait 10 sec) followed by the command "process.Terminate". Then AdobeReader will be terminated and script goes on...

Command line parameters are sparsely documented and are officially not supported. What is documented can be found here: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/intro_to_sdk/DeveloperFAQ.pd f
I've not seen anything that shows what you want to do.

Command line build problem

We have a large help project I'm migrating to RoboHelp 6
(nearly 3000 topics, 12 chms plus a master file). We generate using
a script that calls the command-line option. One of the projects
fails during command line processing, even though I can build it
from within the GUI without fail. When I run the command line
command, this is the message that is returned:
"D:\quartus\robohelp\subs\reference>"d:\Adobe\RoboHelp
6.0\RoboHTML\RHCL.exe" reference.xpj

Scanning project for compilation....
Error: Failed to scan all the project files. Please use
RoboHelp to recover the project.
Unexpected Error: Failed to prepare single source data for
RHCL. Please try to compile it in RoboHTML."
If I open the project in the GUI and compile it, then compile
from the command line, it works fine. But if I clear the directory,
run the NGCMD.exe command and get the files out and run the
RHCL.exe, I get the same error message.
Thanks

Finally I figured out this problem.
It is because one .fpj file missing in the image folder.
When I was using X5, there is no image.fpj in the image
folder, but after upgrading to RH6, using the command line compiler
will fail if there is no the .fpj file under the image folder.
Checking in the image.fpj to the server, then check it out to
your build machine, everything is OK now.

Task Sequence Command Line to Unregister DLL Not Working...Won't Run As Administrator

Hi All,
I'm trying to unregister a dll by creating a Custom Task Sequence using the command line "%SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32.exe" /s -u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"
SCCM is reporting success, however the DLL isn't being unregistered on the client machines. If I manually run the command on a client machine as administrator it works. I have specified that same administrative user in the Custom Task Sequence.
These are Windows 7 machines, so my hunch is it has something to do with UAC, but I'm kind of stumped what to do here but feel like I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks!

Thanks again Jason for sticking with me here. We are running this on 64-bit Windows. Okay, I fixed the command line so it now is: %windir%\sysnative\regsvr32.exe /s -u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll"
Once again, SCCM shows it successfully executed the task sequence, however the dll still didn't unregister.
Any other ideas what might be going on? I really appreciate the help.

Command line options / API Support to launch the sequence file

does teststand support any command line options / API Support to launch the sequence file and also populate the test run status. I want to explore the option of integrating the teststand with QC where I can launch the sequence from QC and results are sent back to QC.
Thanks in advance,
-Dilip

Hi Dilip,
Here are the command line options for TestStand v4.2.1:
Command Line Processing
Command line usage:
 seqedit.exe [<sequence file>]
 [/goto <location>]
 [/run <sequence> <sequence file>]
 [/runEntryPoint <entry point> <sequence file>]
 [/quit]
 [/setCurrentDir]
 [/useExisting]
 [<workspace file>]
 <location>: property object path to the item to display in the file
 Location examples:
 TestExec.exe c:\example.seq /goto "Seq[\"MainSequence\"].Main[\"Power On\"]"
 TestExec.exe c:\example.seq /goto "Seq[\"MainSequence\"].Main[\"ID#:JifH4ODTf0y1z7bJne0G7D\"]"
 TestExec.exe c:\example.seq /goto "Seq[1].Main[4].TS.LoadOpt"
 <sequence file>: sequence file to open
 <sequence>: sequence to run
 <entry point>: entry point, such as Single Pass or Test UUTs, to run
 <workspace file>: workspace file to open
 You may specify multiple sequence files, sequences, and entry points.
 Quotes are required for arguments that contain a space, such as
 "Test UUTs" and "C:\My Documents\Test Sequence.seq"
I don't believe you'll get a return status of the executed sequence from the editor on close; but you could design your sequence to write the status to a file and then read that by your QC application.

Afterfx command line "restores" maximized window - any way to duplicate ExtendScript invocation?

Hi all,
I am controlling After Effects CC from another application by invoking JavaScript files from the command line. But the command *always* restores the maximized window of After Effects. That is, if the After Effects application is maximized, it always *restores* it, every time I invoke the JavaScript file through the command line (e.g. through Windows cmd prompt or through my application). When I execute the same JavaScript file through ExtendScript IDE, it doesn't do this erronous behaviour.
For example: "AfterFx.exe -r C:\path\showDialog.jsx"
Contents of showDialog.jsx:
alert("Showing Dialog from JSX file");
My question is: Is there *any way* to mimic what ExtendScript does to invoke JavaScript files?
From listening on Windows processes, it seems that ExtendScript tacks on some JavaScript code, dynamically, to do the execution (i.e. couldn't trace any command line processes/arguments). But I can't seem to figure out what exact JavaScript code it invokes. ExtendScript also seems to be working via Bridge.
I get the same "restore window" behaviour when I try to use "-s" argument with the JavaScript expression passed as a string argument or if I use "AfterFx.com" instead of "AfterFx.exe". I couldn't find any documentation for what command line parameters are supported for AfterFx (other than "-r" and "-s") and what Extend Script might be doing exactly to invoke the .jsx files. I managed to take a peek at the executable binary of AfterFx.exe (through a hex editor) and noticed the following switches.
-rquiet, -noerr, -noui, -debug, -livelink, -selflink, -headlessonly, -rquiet, -rq, -mp
But I couldn't get the "window restoring" behaviour to stop with any of the parameters.
Any advice will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks again for your comments. I tried with PsExec just now but no luck still. The only useful argument parameter in PsExe seems to be:
-d
Don't wait for process to terminate (non-interactive).
But the same behaviour happens. I tried with "-e" as well (separately and combined with "-d").
I also tried a few command line argument options with "start" command, on the Windows Command prompt. For example:
"start /MAX AfterFx.exe -r C:\path\file.jsx" <-- supposed to start the application in the maximized state
"start /b AfterFx.exe -r C:\path\file.jsx" <-- supposed to start the app without a creating a new window
But no luck still . Tried various combinations of the above two arguments as well.
Seems like Adobe After Effects explicitly does something weird to snap the application *out* of the MAXIMIZED state, if the executable is invoked (either via command line, with or without arguments or directly from start menu/GUI items). I don't know why they would do this though. I also wonder whether this is simply a bug in their implementation of Adobe After Effects CC on Windows 7.
Is there any way to MAXIMIZE Adobe Effects Effects through their JavaScript API? I am wondering whether I can explicility check/set the window to be maximized in my invoked script, to fix this behaviour.
Thanks.

File name as command line option for multiple VM processes

"-Xloggc:/tmp/gc.log" is the option I'd like to set, but every process will log to that file and even if we don't experience any concurrency issues the data still isn't useful because I can't tell which process did what.
The island files are cleverly named to include their process number, can I do similar for command line options or will I be restricted to a single JVM?

Online help (as of LabVIEW 7.0?), Index, Command Line, User-defined arguments - It will show you the following:
You also can pass LabVIEW-defined or user-defined arguments when you launch LabVIEW from the command line. To pass user-defined arguments in the command line, enter two hyphens (--) surrounded by spaces before the set of user-defined arguments. LabVIEW does not use any arguments after the two hyphens to launch labview.exe. LabVIEW passes the arguments after the two hyphens to the block diagram of the VI you launch. Use the Application:Command Line Arguments property to read the user-defined command-line arguments passed when LabVIEW launches.
For example, to launch mycool.vi and pass user-defined arguments, use the following command:
c:\labview\la
bview.exe c:\coolapp\mycool.vi -- 1000 sine
On the block diagram of the mycool.vi, use the Application:Command Line Arguments property to read the 1000 and sine arguments you passed and handle the values.

Create .txt empty file After Message Processing Command Line Linux command

Hi All,
An empty .txt file has to be created in FTP location(FTP loc c:\xyz\Customer20082910.txt) only after the .dat file has been created(FTP loc c:\xyz\Customer20082910.dat)
Note:.dat has the actual data and .txt is an empty file and is created only after .dat is created
I know that .txt empty file can be created using the After Message Processing Command Line...
But confused which command to be given such that it will be created in the FTP location(c:\xyz\Customer20082910.txt)
Can any one please give the Linux command for it...
Regards,
Sridhar

Hi Aamir,
Thanks for the suggestion, I will ask my client to create a shell script at FTP server...
And one more question,
This is reverse side , now the .dat file is to be picked only if .txt exists at the FTP server (scenario File > XI>SAP) (earlier was SAP>XI>File)..
So please can you suggest for this also...
How can i check for the .txt and pick corresponding .dat file...
i had posted question long back
Need to pick .TXT file only if .CTL file is available

Using process manager to get command line of a running application

hello,
i'm currently using the process manager framework to get a list of current running processes on the machine. i would like to get the command line to display to the user. i can see how to get the path to the executable file. i.e. /Applications/AppRunning however i'd like to get the full command line and im either missing it from the documentation or not seeing the links to get that information. so i want to get /Applications/AppRunning -c someoption -f another option. can anyone recommend a function to assist me or if im using the wrong API to get the information i am looking for can someone recommend the correct API?
thank you very much.

I've never done this either, so I'm quite sure I'm missing some big things here. Some other things that might be handy are dtrace and ptrace. I strongly suspect that there is some really easy way to do it that I don't know about. You might try searching on the Apple developer mailing lists.
at the end of the day though i still need to be able to retrieve the command line of a running executable. 'ps' can do it so i'm assuming there is a programatic way of doing it. is the mac 'ps' command source code online anywhere that i can see what it's doing?
I don't know about ps. There are a number of Mac applications that do things similar to what you propose. Marcopolo is open-source and can detect when applications are launched.
i have looked at the linux procps package however it relies on the procfs which mac does not have.
Amit Singh wrote a MacFUSE-based procfs for the Mac. You can look at the source code to that, but, to quote Amit "the MacFUSE version of procfs makes heavy use of the Mach programming interfaces". Good luck with that. Still, there might be some helpful information in that link.
