Easier to launch using bat files?

Isn't it really easy to launch Java using a bat file? There seems to be alot of discussion regarding exe files etc. but it seem to me that it works well using a bat file. That way you can use the -cp to set the classpath too if needed.
Would it be possible to write code that checks the JVM and prompts the user to download the version required? Or possible to write a bat to launch a Java file, or even an applet to do the same thing.
I need to distribute an application at work, but the install can't be any harder than a couple of clicks!
Thanks,

On the subject of jar files; I am having trouble
running my app through a jar file because are probs
with the manifest file. I know that I have to edit my
manifest file to name, I believe, the method of my
main class.
howover , I did edit this file ( checked via textpad)
and it had the two entries - one the default spiel
about version and
2) the line Main-Class: my methodyou have to enter the class name (without fileextension), not a method name.
Main-Class: MyOwnClass

The argument to the java command is the name of the class to run, not a path to the class file. You must have the classpath environmental variable set up properly for the class to run.

How to get the erroe message, if i run java program using .bat file

Hi,
I have a java file which accepts two inputs as command line argument. I want to make this pgm a tool. So have created a *.bat file which has the following command
java myprogram arg1 arg2
I'm gonna share this program with others. So i'll keep the class file and the .bat file in a commaon folder. All the users have to do is, edit the .bat file to give his/her args and run the .bat file. The pbm is, if the user input is not valid, I have put displays in the pgm to show it.
But if i run thru .bat, I'm not getting the error message or I don't know where it is getting displayed.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Thanks,
Mary

When i run from the console, I can see the output.
But, when i double click on the .bat file from the
folder, it runs fine and i couldn't see the output.
nullThat's because the error message is printed, and then the console is closed. The message is there but you need to read really really fast :)

How to format the spaces in a text file using bat file scripting

Currently the records in my text file are like this:
100239 0000015.00
QRP
I want them to be like this:
100266 0000015.00 QRP
There should be 6 spaces before the first column and 8 spaces after that. There should be 1 space between the second and third columns.
Generally this file contains approx 1000 records.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

So far it's like this:
for /f "skip=2 delims=*" %%a in (C:\Bonus_File_Export.txt) do (
echo %%a >>C:\newfile.txt
xcopy C:\newfile.txt C:\Bonus_File_Export.txt /y
del C:\newfile.txt /f /q
I've to format a text file generated by the tool Microstrategy and it feed it to another system in a specific format. Ihave removed the headers with the above script but was unable to remove the spaces between those columns.
You can use this code as a basis for your script:
@echo off
set Line=
if exist d:\temp\newfile.txt del d:\temp\newfile.txt
for /F "skip=2 tokens=1-2" %%a in (d:\temp\test.txt) do call :Sub %%a %%b
goto :eof
:Sub
if not "%2"=="" (
set Line= %1 %2
) else (
echo %Line% %1>>d:\temp\newfile.txt
It works provided that your input file uses this format:
Header line
Header line
100239 0000015.00
QRP
100240 0000016.00
QRR
100241 0000017.00
QRS
100242 0000018.00
QRT
100243 0000019.00
QRU
100244 0000020.00

Can not run business rule with bat file

Hi all,
I've problem with using *.bat file to run business rule. My Essbase version is 11.1.1.3 and the syntax within
*.bat is simple, but I always got the Usage message and can not execute the rule.
The error result as blow(I already execute the syntax in command panel directly):
C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin>CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
Usage: CmdLineLauncher [-p:<passwordFile>] -Sservername -Uusername [-rBusiness R
ule Name | -sSequence Name] [-fRun Time Prompts file] [-validate]
My *.bat file content as below:
cd c:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\eas\console\bin
call CmdLnLauncher -SWILSON -Usynadmin -P1111111 -r0004_COPYDATA
Is there something wrong? If anyone know about this problem, please help,thanks!!

Hi,
Here is a brief overview on how to use the command line launcher.
You can create a file and put the following information into it filling in the servername,app name and db name
ExecDB::"Planning/servername/appname/dbname"
Save it as .xml file (don’t think it has to be an xml, could be .txt), so something like connect.xml
Then when you run your command line do exactly like before Cmdlnlauncher -Sservername -Uusername -p:password.txt -rrule -fconnect.xml
If you have variables in your rule you can
In EAS right click over the rule and select "Automate Launch Variables", fill in the details and then save it is as an xml.
You just need to reference the xml in the batch script as described above using the -f parameter, for sequences remove -rrule and use –sSequence
update password.txt to the name of your password file.
Cheers
John

Running bat-files from Java

Hello,
I have been trying to launch a bat-file from my Java code, running under windows, but with no success.
Here is my simple code:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {
"C:\\temp\\test.bat"
});This does nothing at all and generates no exception. Any suggestions?

It seems java has a real problem with this... if you
want to run another java program, for instance, you
cannot do that either with String cmd="cmd.exe /C
java myProgram"
I need to pass parameters from one program into the
program I'm going to open using java, that is why I
need to call it from my first program. It can open
executables and shortcuts, but has a real big problem
doing things with the command line.No it doesn't have a problem with it. You just must be doing something wrong. By the way, since "java(.exe)" is already an executable, there's little value in wrapping that by the "cmd.exe" shell (unless you want to use the command shell for some reason such as passing the redirector (>) symbols to it to let it redirect stdout / stderr to a file)

Convert .bat file to .msi

Hi everyone!
Please help....
The case is that I first have to run a batch file (which takes about 2
minutes, because it removes an application) and then AFTER it has run, I
need to run an application packet. I know that it should be possible to
just write the batch script into the "launch before" script of the app.
packet. But it doesnt work. So therefore I will try to convert the .bat
file into a .msi packet. In that way I can use the "depend on another
app.packet"-function.
So please does anyone know how to convert from .bat to .msi?
Or maybe another solution?
THANKS!!!
Chrisitan

Yes I´m deleting directories. Actually it´s uninstalling one anti virus,
so it can install another vendors anti virus.
But I solved the problem. I put an # before launching the .bat file in
the login script.
And after that I used Zenworks to distribute the app. packet.
Since the .bat file takes about 2 minutes to run I added a copy of a
simply file from the
server to the computers harddrive. Then I use a "if exist....else goto
exit" script. In that
way it won´t run the .bat file on every login.
But I still don´t understand why the "launch before" can´t read the .bat
file script.
But anyway....thanks for your reply....this case is solved.

How to generate a PDF output using batch file in 10G

Hello,
I am using .bat file to generate a report PDF output. I have done this many times in 6i but for 10G I am unable to do the same.
Can someone please look at the syntax below and let me know where I am going wrong.
I understand that reports are different for 6i and 10G specially .rep file but I am sure we should be able to generate a PDF file using 10G. Please let me know.
Thanks
IQ
Contents of .bat file follow
ECHO Opening parameter form. Please do not close this window.
C:\
FOR /F "tokens=1 " %%I IN ('time /t') DO (SET _TIME=%%I)
FOR /F "tokens=2 " %%I IN ('date /t') DO (SET _DATE=%%I)
SET EXP_DATE=%_DATE:~6,4%%_DATE:~0,2%%_DATE:~3,2%_%_TIME:~0,2%%_TIME:~3,2%
SET FILENAME=SEND_EMAIL_%EXP_DATE%_%USERNAME%.PDF
CD C:\Users\Documents
RWCONVERTER REPORT=C:\Users\Documents\send_email.rep USERID=scott/tiger@ORCL1 ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE
DESNAME=C:\Users\\%FILENAME% PRINTJOB =NO

Rwconverter is not used to run reports:
rwconverter (Reports Converter) enables you to convert one or more report definitions or PL/SQL libraries from one storage format to another.
I think you mean rwrun:
rwrun (Reports Runtime) runs a report by starting its own in-process server (not to be confused with the default in-process Reports Server), which runs in the same JVM as the rwrun process.
This bat file has to run on the server. There is no Reports installation on the client anymore.
If you want to run a report from a client, you can make a bat file that calls the report url

How to create bat file

I want to know how to create a bat file...plz

Use a simple text editor
Type in DOS commands just like you would on the command line
You can do a google search for bat commands to find a bunch of useful things to use to close the DOS window or other neat things you might want to do.
(assumes you are using windows, can you use bat files in Unix? )
