External program calling photoshop API? Mac OS X

Is it possible to include the photoshop api headers (CS2 SDK) in an XCode project and have the project instantiate photoshop and perform automation actions? I'm doing this in windows, but am new to Mac programming. Or is the API from the SDK strictly for plugins?
Does anyone have XCode examples for CS2. I can't get Codewarrior. They are really rude if you call and ask about it.

ADM is not a 64bit framework. Better to ask questions about plug-in dev here:

Detective support: how is an external program called? (ex: truecrypt)

Hello there,
some of you may know, that if you double-click a mounted container within truecrypt, and have no nautilus installed, that you get an error message saying that nautilus isn't there.
Browsing through the forums, I found someone who mentioned the exact command that truecrypt was using and consequently a workaround. The command was:
/usr/bin/nautilus --no-default-window --no-desktop /media/truecrypt1
and can be found here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103882
My question is, how can I find out how a program is calling another program, as in this example, how could I have found out what is going on under the hood of truecrypt, and what command truecrypt is exactly running for that nautilus error message to pop up?
Is there a program that can be chained to truecrypt, kind of like "time" as in:
$ time man
to monitor for such calls or would you do it different?
Thanks!

strace + gdb might be a start
edit: not necessarily gdb, you'd want to walk through the binary and find the appropriate strings, so strings

Reset or Clear SAP user context by external RFC caller program

Hello,
I have a SAP system with performance problems due to a SAP user context starts using a lot of memory.
This user context comes from an External RFC caller program written in Delphi and which uses the SAP RFC SDK provided by SAPGUI 6.40: SAP Automation library, SAPFuntionsOCX, I mean, using methods in the object "SAPFunctions" in SAPFunctionsOCX in file "wdtfuncU.ocx", in SAPGUI directory.
Everytime we have performance problems, this RFC SAP user context is using near 1400 Mb of extended memory, although there is a lot of free physical RAM memory available, there are free dialog processes and CPU load is low (no more than 30%).
This performance problem is solved by closing the external program (written in Delphi) which connects to SAP via RFC.
This external program works for the warehouse management and connects to SAP several times per minute. Due to connection performance and the high frequency with which this external program must connect to SAP, the connection to SAP is not closed after each call to RFC SAP function modules.
The extended memory used by this SAP RFC user is growing along time. I detected, using ST03 transaction, that these user sessions have always the same transaction code hash, I mean, although the external programs call the same SAP RFC funcion modules several times (¡¡¡ always clearing the variables at the beginning and at the end of de ABAP code, with ABAP commands like REFRESH and FREE ¡¡¡¡) the technical transaction code is the same and I suppose the user context (in extended memory) is not deleted.
I think it is better than the external program close the context memory (similar to "/n" okcode in SAPGUI).
But we don't want to close the connection, because the external program connects to SAP with a high frequency, and the logon process is expensive.
Is there any way to send something similar to "/n" (end of transaction) from the external program? Is there any command in the SAP RFC SDK library (SAPFuntionsOCX or something similar?
I cannot find any method to do that in the object "SAPFunctions" in SAPFunctionsOCX in file "wdtfuncU.ocx", in SAPGUI directory.
Old information for Object Classes "SAPFunctions" in SAPFunctionsOCX in file "wdtfuncU.ocx", in SAPGUI directory, is described in the following URL:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/39/7e00d1ac6011d189c60000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
But I cannot find anything related to something similar to a "/n" in SAPGUI.
As I have the SAPGUI installed on my desktop, I can see all SAP RFC classes and methods from Excel, by opening the Visual Basic editor.
I am only asking a way to send to SAP a command to free the user context used for an open RFC session in order to avoid the memory used to be continuously growing, without having to close the RFC session.
The external program only calls a certain SAP function module periodically and we want to free the user context between calls without logging off. This is the same, very similar, as if we called that function from SAPGUI and we used "/n" in SAPGUI between calls.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks and best regards.

Hello,
I don't know if this will solve your problem, but you may be using MF 'RFC_CONNECTION_CLOSE' between each call of you RFC function.
Regards
Brice

Calling an external program (*.exe file) on the client

Hi,
I use 9iDS and I'd like to call an external program (*.exe file) on the client, but this exe file is located on the server not on the client.
So it should be something like a mixture between host and client_host(webutil) command. Is it possible to use client_host where a virtual path is passed to?
Regards Sören

Are you saying you want to run on the exe on the client but its located on the server???
In that case you would have to do a webutil file transfer to move it to the client before executing. Or, if you are calling a DLL, webutil will download it automatically from the server to the client (see the C API example on the webutil page).

When I call an external program from Labview, how can I embed the interface into the front panel?

I'm running Labiew 6i for Linux. I'm using a system exec.vi to call an external program to do image manipulation (since there is no IMAQ for linux). How can I embed the user interface of the external program into the front panel of Labview?

As far as I know, the only way to embed other GUIs in LabView is an ActiveX in a container.
As long as you are using Linux, try to place (moving them on the desktop ) the two windows linked (like those 3 of WinAmp).

Call external program in background mode

Hi,
I am creating a PO using bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE1 in exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
I dont want to write the code in my exit. Instead I want to write the code in a Z program and call it in my exit.
My Problem.
How do I call my z program in my exit so that I can pass internal tables from my exit to the z program. Also I want to schedule the call of my external program for background processing.
I am trying with SUBMIT ZPROG AND RETURN. But not able to pass an internal table.
I tried PERFORM BAPI_PO_CREATE IN PRGRAM ZPROG, but in this case not able to schedule it in background.
Please advise.

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

How to call a external program in java?

Help!!
Is there any method that can a java program can call a external program? For example execute a exe file.
Thanks.

Yes.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("exactly what you would type at the command line");
But be aware that this is operating-system-specific and full of gotchas. When you run into one of them, come back to the forum and do a search, this is a frequent topic of discussion.

How to call external programs?

I have seen people call external programs through LabVIEW and was curious what functions you could use to do this.
I'm pretty sure its using one of the ActiveX functions or maybe 'open application reference .vi'.
Can anyone tell me (or show me) a quick example of how to open an external program (ie excel, notepad, etc) programatically

I either copy it from an example or try to browse to it.
NOTE:
If you plan to work with MS ActiveX objects, I found it very helpful to do a custom install of Office and make sure the help files for VBA are loaded. These will at the least give you an idea of what the methods are and what parameters go with each.

Calling an external program!

Salut all, Im using unfortunately Oracle Forms 6i, and I need to call an external program that I have to develop in Java, compiled into .jar. I just wanna use something like java -jar myJar.jar <my params...> but I don´t know how to call external programs from Oracle Forms, in special from 6i.
I have searched this thread passed (Re: Calling JAVA from PL/SQL but didn´t help me so much.
Thanks all for patience!

In version 9 and 10 we have a general way of calling out to java thru the Java Importer functionality.
If you cannot upgrade to these later versions and you don't need to get data back from the jar file execution you can always use the Host command to call it directly the way you have outlined.

Before calling an external program, check if the program is allready open

I need to call an external program to print some labels, so i will use function WS_EXECUTE or the new one DSVAS_DOC_WS_EXECUTE_50 to call my program, but the problem that i have is:
when I call this function, the program open a small window, and if i have to call it again, it will open another window, and so on... obviously this is not a good solution.
Is there any one how knows how can i close the program, of perhaps it is enough if there is some way to know if the program is already open.
Many thanks in advance,
Miriam

Hi
you can use the ABAP Coverage Analyzer.
OR
This is a function module we use to limit the execution of a program to one instance at a time.
DATA: PRG LIKE INDX-SRTFD. PRG = SY-CPROG.
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_ESINDX'
EXPORTING RELID = 'ZZ'
SRTFD = PRG
SRTF2 = 0
EXCEPTIONS FOREIGN_LOCK = 1
SYSTEM_FAILURE = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
FORMAT COLOR COL_NEGATIVE INVERSE ON.
WRITE: / 'ERROR: Program Is Already Running'.
WRITE: / 'Program', PRG, 'has been stopped. Rerun in 1 minute.'.
STOP.
ELSE.
WRITE: / 'OK ',PRG.
ENDIF.

I'm using an older mac (2008 iMac). Things were getting slow and I used a program called DupZapper to get rid of a lot of duplicate files. It worked and my computer is running better. The only problem is now InDesign crashes at startup. I have the original disks and serial number (CS3) The error message is "required resources are missing". Same message if I try to uninstall.

Language other than bash for calling external programs

Hi,
sorry for the unspecific title, I couldn't think of a better summary.
The problem is this: I have written a script to encode a DVD to H264 and Vorbis. Since it basically just performs some (OK, by now: A lot of.) management and then calls a external programs, Bash was the obvious choice.
However, the administrative stuff the script does (evaluating user input, calculations etc.) was already a nightmare to code in Bash (lack of arithmetic, lack of data types, proper functions, lack of c-like structs etc.), and I now want to make it even more flexible in what the user (me) can ask of it (it's also going to use a config file, which is another thing that gets ugly fast). Frankly, I can't stomach that.
So the question is this: What language would be sensible for a program the most important function of which is calling other programs?
Simply executing them from the main program isn't enough, unfortunately, because I want to make use of multicore system by for example simultaneously extracting streams and encoding them (right now that is done through named pipes), ideally I'd need a way to multithread not internal functions/routines but external programs (Through pipes or whatever).
I'd prefer an interpreted language, but it's not a requirement.

I second what peets said. Perl is definitely you're best option here, in my opinion anyways. It has the best (by which I mean easiest) system interface of any scripting langauge I've worked with, and if you want a simple configuration file reader, perl's regex'es are king. Perl also takes a lot of features from the shells, such as the file test operations. If the project get's really big and hairy though, it might be worth considering python as a cleaner, stricter alternative.
Hope that helps!

They're probably just interested in getting $ from you, there are several companies who advertise in a way that suggests 'official' support for all sorts of things. Unfortunately, if they had access as you describe, they potentially could have installed other software and/or read any of your files.
