Dos bat

Hi all,
I need to launch my java app from a batch file. Therefore, when I run my app, DOS prompt will pop up before my app GUI. Is there any way to set minimize this DOS prompt from batch file or from my java application.
Thank you.

In Windows, you can use "javaw" instead of "java".

CFexecute, cfx_consolecommand dos/bat file error

Good day all. i have a really confussing problem... Let me
break it down
I have written an application that requires barcodes. My
Printer is a PPLB printer (not really important). So i create a
file on the server (This is about all that works fine).....
The printer is a network printer. so on the server i set up
the capture " net use LPT2
\\<machinename>\\<printersharename> /persistent:yes
(What the above does for those that do not know is set up a
vitual printer port so if you print to lpt2 it goes to the network
printer)
The command works perfectly..... Now the only thing i have to
do is send the file to the printer....
If im on the server and type "COPY /B c:\filetosend LPT2: "
note the Colon after LPT2 must be there it works perfectly.
But from anything else it doesnt..
What i have tried:
1) I tried running the command via cfexecute and
CFX_consolecommand which is available at
www.intrafoundation.com
that however does not work
2) Thinking i was smart i decided to write a bat file....
Easy. I wrote the file then used cfexecute and consolecommand to
run the file. With output enabled The error says "File Not Found"
This i have checked the file is there and LPT port is setup.
As i said if i type the command in command prompt it works
perfectly.
Now just to through another spanner in the works. if i run
the bat file from double clicking in windows or in command propt
type print.bat. (the name of the bat file i created) it works
perfectly..... Can someone explain this
So what i have determined is that:
1) When i type the command or run the bat file from command
prompt it works.
2) It does not work via cfexecute or commandconsole.
With some more testing If i leave the colon out after LPT2 it
says "0 Files Copied" so i think the colon is giving the problem...
Any help would be appreciated with this regard....
Another program maybe etc
Regards

ShapeShift,
Are you running the batch file or the dos command while
logged in as the
same user ColdFusion service is configured to run under? If
ColdFusion
is running under the default "Local System" account, try
turning on the
"Allow service to interact with the desktop" checkbox on the
"Log On"
tab for the ColdFusion service, or set the service to log in
with an
account you know has permissions to the remote printer.
HTH,
Carl

Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Trapping from DOS

Hi
I invoke my Java from a DOS .bat file, something similar to this below
java.exe -classpath my.jar;%classpath% my.batch.Application %BATCH_LOGS% testing=YI know I can add -Xmx500m to add memory however I dont want to do this for every app I build as its a bit of a waste (and I have two hundred that I have).
I therefore need to trap for when my program gives a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError so that I can then exit the DOS .bat file cleanly or not (this is so that Autosys then SUCCEED or FAILs)
For normal return codes the return code is passed out via System.exit(return_code) from a specific interface based method for all programs.
Is it a case that a finalize method is the best way to do this and do a System.exit(return_code) ? Or is there a better way?

Apple (Unix) equivalent to a Windows "bat" file

Good day,
I have just solved a problem (thanks to someone on this forum) and written a small file to start the application.
However, I wondering if there are some "simple" rules to write an equivalent of the Windows (DOS) bat file. I would like just to click on a file and let it run.
Thanks.
Kevin

The DOS .BAT file was an attempt to bring to MS-DOS something like the idea of the UNIX script.
In general, UNIX permits you to make a text file with commands in it and run it by simply flagging the text file as executable (rather than give it a specific suffix). This is how OS X does it. However, OS X adds the feature that if you give the file the suffix '.command', Finder will run Terminal.app to execute it (similar to how BAT files work in Windows).
Unlike MS-DOS, however, UNIX (and OS X) permits you to specify what interpreter is used for the script. An interpreter is a program that reads in text from a file and does something with it. This is how languages like PERL and Python work.
In UNIX, you can specify which interpreter to use by making the first line in the text file one that begins with '#!' followed by the path to the interpreter. For example, if your text file contains a script writtein the in the PERL language, it would look like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World
... the UNIX shell is an intepreter too:
#!/bin/sh
echo Hello World
For your script to run from the UNIX command line (Terminal.app), you need to set the executable flag of the file. For example, if your script is called 'myscript', then you'd type:
chmod u+x myscript
... and you can execute it like so:
./myscript
In fact, there are several different scripting languages provided with OS X for you to use: PERL, Python, Ruby, PHP, Bash, etc. Each has it's own strengths and complexities.

How can you detect (from a script file) that javac found problems?

The subject line says it all, but the background is:
I have a script file (.bat, since am stuck on windoze for the moment) which is doing some compilation using javac.
I would like to skip all subsequent activities in the script file after the call to javac if any file failed to compile.
So, what can I use as a signal from javac that it found a problem?
I initially tried detecting an exit code from javac that was non zero, but javac does not seem to emit such an exit coe when it objects to a file (it still returns with 0 as an exit code).
The only remaining strategy that I can think of is to pipe javac's output to a file, and if there is any content in it then assume that it indicates an error and use that as a signal.
This is suboptimal because it will give false signals for mere warnings, so if anyone has a better suggestion, please post

You are right: it appears that javac does exit with an exit code of 1 if an error is detected in one of the files being compiled, at least on the windows jdk.
To prove this, create an arbitrary java source file called HelloWorld.java, and create a msdos .bat file in the same directory that looks like
@echo on
javac -Xlint:deprecation HelloWorld.java
:handleError
@if not errorlevel 1 goto finalActions
@echo ERROR DETECTED: compile.bat will TERMINATE PREMATURELY
:finalActions
@echo compile.bat now terminatedBy playing around with what you put in the source file (totally clean code, stuff that should compile but issue a warning, and garbage that should not compile) as well as with the exit code value detected by the .bat file, for instance trying
@if not errorlevel 2 goto finalActions(see http://www.robvanderwoude.com/errorlevel.html if you need some documentation on error codes in dos bat files), I have determined the following as javac's behavior on windows:
If code is pristine, exit code = 0.
If code causes javac to emit a warning but is compilable, exit code = 0.
If code cannot be compiled, exit code = 1.

How Do I Redirect LPT1 Printer Port to 'LOCAL Printer' in Windows 7

I have previously redirected LPT1 Port to a 'Network Printer' as well as 'Print Server' with NO PROBLEMS.
However, I have NOT been able to redirect LPT1 Port to a 'LOCAL' PRINTER. I have already set up:
- new HP Laser Printer (tested, no problem printing in Windows)
- the printer is SHARED, shared name is "HPLaser" (tested by viewing Shared Printer Name and Computer Name in DOS)
- bat file as --> Net
use Lpt1 \\DkTop1\HPLaser /persistent:yes
(I checked to ensure the 'Computer
Name' and the 'Shared
Printer Name' are correct. Tested by running bat command, no
error message)
When printing in DOS and viewing "What's Printing" from Printer Icon,
- the DOS print job appears immediately as "spooling",
- then "printing" and "USB001" Port.
So, it appears to be printing from the DOS application, also
note NO ERRORS from DOS Program or Windows but it does NOT print.
The only difference between the 'Local Printer' setup and
the 'Print Server Printer' setup is,
the 'PRINT SERVER'
goes to an "IP Address w/Standard TCP/IP Port"
and the 'LOCAL PRINTER'
goes to "USB001 Virtual Printer for . . .".
IS THERE A PROBLEM in
SETTING UP THE 'LOCAL PRINTER'
with 'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port???
If so, how do I resolve? If not, please note what is the problem(s) and resolution(s). Thanks.

Hi,
you install the new printer, which port you choose to use? What do you mean by saying "'USB001 VIRTUAL PRINTER' Port"
here?
As the printer is configured locally, there is no need to redirect the port to it.
Install a printer

Here for more information:

If possible please take a try to delete the printers holding the Lpt1 port, then reconfigure the local printer following the instructions provided above.
Hope this may help

BIOS Update Fail - Aspire XC-603G Win 8.1

Hello,I have searched here for a couple days and read a bunch of posts - some of which I have tried. I am NOT trying to go back down to Win 7 (though I really like Win 7) I am trying to stick with Win 8.1. I was running BIOS P11-A1 and suddenly started having trouble with the USB 3.0 controller.I read some posts here and on other forums that stated I should see if there is a BIOS update. There are actually four for this machine and so I started with the oldest one P11-B0LTTo be honest the instructions in the README pdf file were not that helpfulbut I found soem great data on the AMI website that helped me update to P11-B0L. I ran the BIOS-DOS.BAT file first but got this error: "4 - Error: ROM File ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID"So I went ahead and ran the AFUDOS file without all the parameters in the batch file and everything updated fine. But I am still having troubles with the USB 3.0 controller and the process just seemed to be fairly complex.Both my HP's and three other Dell's had Flash BIOS programs, or simple instructions that worked with no problems. Was I just getting lucky with them and there is some hidden UEFI and/or MS-DOS secret ritual that I am missing here ?Am I perhaps using the incorrect BIOS update file - and if so which one should I use ? Thanks,-Bil

Thanks that makes sense. Would of course be nice if Acer didn't offer them as options when one selects Win 8.1 as the OS.Or at least put that note in the description for each. I of course got jammed up when I forced the next BIOS version (with the "L") after B2 worked fine. She was hanging up at the POST so I cleared the CMOS by swapping the jumper pins.I then put the B2 BIOS on the USB and renamed it AMIBOOT.ROM and I am back to a functioning box. USB 3.0 controller is still DOA but I am probably going to dump this MB for one with a couple PCI slots.I have been wanting to dump the Celeron POS anyhow - and this will be my tester for Win 10. Thanks again for the info and maybe it will help the next poor soul...Consider this one resolved -bil

Batch file in Mac and Linux

Guys,
I have a prpgram which I need to invoke with -Xmx parameters, like java -Xmx512M -jar ***. I think it is a better way to provide a batch file instead letting the user type a long command line. So I prepare a MS-DOS .bat file with the distribution.
However, I don't know how to do such batch file in Linux/unix or Mac, which could let the user double-click and invoke the program with the parameters.
Could somebody give me some help?
Thanks!

Could somebody give me some information on Mac shell
script?Google for intro to bash scripts or something like that.
#!/bin/bash
java -cp whatever MyClassTypically the filename would end with .sh or .bash.

Calling perl script from PLSQL

Hi All,
I have created Java stored procedure and oracle function to execute the os commnad, this works fine for calling batch scripts but when i used same function to call perl script,
like how we call in batch script
perl <script name> the sql gets hanged.
Is it possible to call perl like this?
or is their any other way to call from plsql
Thanks Chandra

Are you able to run that perl script at DOS command line?
Did you call the perl script directly from the java proc or you put the perl command line in a DOS .BAT scirpt and called that from the java proc?

Backup Discoverer workbooks

We have hundred of users using Discoverer Plus for creating their adhoc reports. How do we backup all the workbooks of all these users? All the workbooks are stored in the database in their database accounts. We dont want to backup all the individual user schemas.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The easiest thing to do is to just perform a command-line and see for yourself. I had just shown this simple code line in another thread on this forum, and it should do the trick for you as well.
dis51adm.exe /connect eul_user_you_set_up/passwordv@db_instance /export eul_full_export /all /log eul_full_export_log
So, if you customize it to your setup, and put it in a DOS BAT file, then invoke it, you'll see the log created.
In that log (it's ASCII), you'll see for yourself what's backed up (ie: user workbooks, joins, etc.).

Data Guard Obaserver

Has anyone devised a good method to run the Data Guard Observer? I have a Maximum Availability configuration with 1 primary and 2 standby databases. I have started the Observer on a separate system via a DOS command window running DGMGRL ... "start observer". This window then stays open forever (until you stop the observer). This is really crude. Anyone have any better solution other than putting a sticky on the monitor's facce saying "DON'T CLOSE THE DOS WINDOW - IT IS RUNNING DATA GUARD OBSERVER"
I have also created a Grid Control host job that runs the DOS .BAT file and runs forever. This is a pretty good solution, but is there any way to capture output from a job?

Host command in forms6i

I used the command Host(mycmd, No_Screen) to export my data in dmp file.
This command works fine but my code (plsql) continue while the command is running.
I want that the next command (pl/sql) wait till the host command terminate.
How to do that ?
In fomrs5 this works perfectly !
My config is : WIN98/Forms6i
Thanks

Hi Sonia!
Another, but maybe a dirty, solution is
to create an ms dos bat file, let's say 1.bat, with the
following lines:
del c:\test.txt
exp pp/pp ...
echo 1 > c:\test.txt
Then use host command to call it and loop
after it. This loop will be checking if
1.bat finished and if it created file
c:\test.txt:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
begin
host( '1.bat', no_screen );
loop
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen('c:\test.txt', 'r');
if form_success then
exit;
end if;
end loop;
end;
Hope, this will help.

How to get system Environment variable?

How to get system Environment variable without using jni?
just like "JAVA_HOME" or "PATH"...
Any reply is help to me!! :-)

Thx for your reply...
I get it!!!
Read environment variables from an application
Start the JVM with the "-D" switch to pass properties to the application and read them with the System.getProperty() method. SET myvar=Hello world
SET myothervar=nothing
java -Dmyvar="%myvar%" -Dmyothervar="%myothervar%" myClass
then in myClass String myvar = System.getProperty("myvar");
String myothervar = System.getProperty("myothervar");
This is useful when using a JAVA program as a CGI.
(DOS bat file acting as a CGI) java -DREQUEST_METHOD="%REQUEST_METHOD%"
-DQUERY_STRING="%QUERY_STRING%"
javaCGI
If you don't know in advance, the name of the variable to be passed to the JVM, then there is no 100% Java way to retrieve them.
NOTE: JDK1.5 provides a way to achieve this, see this HowTo.
One approach (not the easiest one), is to use a JNI call to fetch the variables, see this HowTo.
A more low-tech way, is to launch the appropriate call to the operating system and capture the output. The following snippet puts all environment variables in a Properties class and display the value the TEMP variable. import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ReadEnv {
public static Properties getEnvVars() throws Throwable {
Process p = null;
Properties envVars = new Properties();
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
String OS = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
// System.out.println(OS);
if (OS.indexOf("windows 9") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "command.com /c set" );
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1 )
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
// thanks to JuanFran for the xp fix!
p = r.exec( "cmd.exe /c set" );
else {
// our last hope, we assume Unix (thanks to H. Ware for the fix)
p = r.exec( "env" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
( new InputStreamReader( p.getInputStream() ) );
String line;
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null ) {
int idx = line.indexOf( '=' );
String key = line.substring( 0, idx );
String value = line.substring( idx+1 );
envVars.setProperty( key, value );
// System.out.println( key + " = " + value );
return envVars;
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Properties p = ReadEnv.getEnvVars();
System.out.println("the current value of TEMP is : " +
p.getProperty("TEMP"));
catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Thanks to W.Rijnders for the W2K fix.
An update from Van Ly :
I found that, on Windows 2003 server, the property value for "os.name" is actually "windows 2003." So either that has to be added to the bunch of tests or just relax the comparison strings a bit: else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1 )
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2003") > -1 ) // works but is quite specific to 2003
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 20") > -1 ) // probably is better since no other OS would return "windows" anyway
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
I started with "windows 200" but thought "what the hell" and made it "windows 20" to lengthen its longivity. You could push it further and use "windows 2," I suppose. The only thing to watch out for is to not overlap with "windows 9."
On Windows, pre-JDK 1.2 JVM has trouble reading the Output stream directly from the SET command, it never returns. Here 2 ways to bypass this behaviour.
First, instead of calling directly the SET command, we use a BAT file, after the SET command we print a known string. Then, in Java, when we read this known string, we exit from loop. [env.bat]
@set
@echo **end
[java]
if (OS.indexOf("windows") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "env.bat" );
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null ) {
if (line.indexOf("**end")>-1) break;
int idx = line.indexOf( '=' );
String key = line.substring( 0, idx );
String value = line.substring( idx+1 );
hash.put( key, value );
System.out.println( key + " = " + value );
The other solution is to send the result of the SET command to file and then read the file from Java. ...
if (OS.indexOf("windows 9") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "command.com /c set > envvar.txt" );
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
// thanks to JuanFran for the xp fix!
p = r.exec( "cmd.exe /c set > envvar.txt" );
// then read back the file
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(new FileInputStream("envvar.txt"));
Thanks to JP Daviau
// UNIX
public Properties getEnvironment() throws java.io.IOException {
Properties env = new Properties();
env.load(Runtime.getRuntime().exec("env").getInputStream());
return env;
Properties env = getEnvironment();
String myEnvVar = env.get("MYENV_VAR");
To read only one variable : // NT version , adaptation for other OS is left as an exercise...
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c echo %MYVAR%");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
( new InputStreamReader( p.getInputStream() ) );
String myvar = br.readLine();
System.out.println(myvar);
Java's System properties contains some useful informations about the environment, for example, the TEMP and PATH environment variables (on Windows). public class ShowSome {
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("TEMP : " + System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"));
System.out.println("PATH : " + System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
System.out.println("CLASSPATH : " + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
System.out.println("SYSTEM DIR : " +
System.getProperty("user.home")); // ex. c:\windows on Win9x system
System.out.println("CURRENT DIR: " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
Here some tips from H. Ware about the PATH on different OS.
PATH is not quite the same as library path. In unixes, they are completely different---the libraries typically have their own directories. System.out.println("the current value of PATH is: {" +
p.getProperty("PATH")+"}");
System.out.println("LIBPATH: {" +
System.getProperty("java.library.path")+"}");
gives the current value of PATH is:
{/home/hware/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:

TIDAL6 vs TIR

Hi,
We have 5.3.1 running and we actually use Tidal Intelligent Reporting (remember that?). Anyhoo, TIR dies with Tidal6 and we have no plans to invest in JAWS as we already have a corporate reporting solution. Does anyone know he feasibility or porting the TIR dataload jobs to another system?
Has the internal schema of the database changed sufficiently to make this a fruitless endeavour or is it a simple case of updating the target database for the output?
The jobs themselves appear to be java based, called from a bunch of DOS bat files. I'm guessing we could unpack the jar file, hack the classes and reassemble.
Is this feasible/legal?
Cheers
