Getting the output of system commands in air

Hello-
Can someone explain how with flex and air one would run a
system command and save the output to an array or string?
Thanks.

Running other programs, including system commands, is not
supported by AIR at this time.

Gnome Panel applet that shows output of system command.

Hi all;
Because of the recent hostile takeover of #archlinux channel by tilling WM fanatics.. I will ask here..
Does any one know of a Gnome Panel applet that shows the output of system command of your choice?
For people who Conky is a bit too much and they only want a simple piece of data available (like what is the current IP on ppp0 interface) like me.. this is a necessity.
If its not in existence I would probably make one.. shouldn't take long, I also would like to hear if there is any interest.
Thanks

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Changed code to:
$dism = "X:\Windows\System32\Cmd.exe /c start CMD /k dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\W7x86.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\"
And voila, new window opened with the live output of dism.
new... and have a glazed over look about my eyes to prove it...

Getting the output from a Perl script using Runtime.exec

I cannot get the output from a perl script using Java. Can someone PLEASE help?
I used the following code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe script.pl) ;
InputSream in = p.getInputStream();
b...
do
System.out.println(b);
while ((b = in.read()) > 0)
But there is no way that I get the output in the inputstream. If I use the command "cmd script.pl", the output is displayed in the Dos box, but also not in the inputstream.
I will appreciate any help.

Try this
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Perl\\bin\\Perl.exe script.pl) ;
BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String str;
while((str=rd.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(str);

Where does the output of System.out.write go??

My question might be silly... but i couldn't find out the exact answer anywhere..
Where does the output of System.out.write go??!! I am not getting anything in the console.. below is the snippet!
public class TestWriteApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
char a = 'c';
System.out.write((byte)a);
PEACE,
Sandeep

Is goes to the console. But a write of a byte isn't the way to see it.
Try something that will show up easier like
System.out.println("Hello World");What OS are you using? Are you using a command window? Or a GUI like Netbeans?

How to get the output path in Java?

Hi all,
is there a way (method) to get the output path (where compiled classes are put) in Java?
thx a lot!
Michele

If you have already successfully loaded the classes into memory, and you want to find out where the classes are physically stored, then you can use Class.getResource() to retrieve the location of the file.
import java.net.URL;
public class Find
private void run(String obj) {
    try {
      Class cls = Class.forName(obj);
      //Here is the change to input correct resource path
      //instead of class name
      String resourcePath = "/"+obj.replace('.','/')+".class";
      URL url = cls.getResource(resourcePath);
      System.out.println(url);
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Find find = new Find();
    find.run(args[0]);
}java Find java.lang.String

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver
Thanks

Cosuming web service using consumer proxy - not getting the output

Hello All,
I am not getting the consumer proxy output structue filled though the web service is successfully executed. I did the following steps.
1. Created a webservice form RFC BAPISDORDER_GETDETAILEDLIST
2. Created a consumer proxy for the above created WSDL document.
3. Tested the service by executing the proxy directly by feeding the input in the XML (sales document and partner view). it is working fine
4. Created a program to access the consumer proxy by passing the input(same input as per XML). I am not getting the output in the proxy output structure ( but I can see the RFC is successfully executed and having the right values in the debugging mode).
Is this the issue is due to the date fields (XML cannot consider a blank date )?
Please note: the partner output table parameter in the bapi (output I am looking for ) is not having any date fields.
Please help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks,
Gopi

Hi Gopi,
From your description, I assume you used the SE37 transaction's menu option Utilities -> More Utilities -> Create Web Service -> From the Function Module, to expose the BAPI concerned as a Web Service.
If this is the case, then it is possible that you are falling foul of your SAP User ID not having the necessary Remote Function Call authorization to execute the BAPI.
A prerequisite for successfully calling an RFC-enabled Function Module (which is what a BAPI is) is that the User ID used to call the function module must have the required RFC authorization (Authorization Object S_RFC). For example, when calling function module BAPI_CUSTOMER_GET_ROOT, if the User ID lacks the requisite authorization in the target system, the following error message will be received by the Consuming application:
User <User ID> has no RFC authorization for function group V02HBAPI.
Notice, as you can see from the above message, RFC execution authorization is implemented at the Function Group level, not at the Function Module level. In othere words, granting a user the authorization to a function group (authorization object S_RFC) enables the user to execute all RFC-enabled function modules contained within that function group.
I am guessing the BAPI works for you in debug mode because you are not calling the BAPI remotely.
Let me know if this helps.
Best Regards,
Andy.

Please note that I cannot seee the output from wndows command : del *.* and the java class execution does not finished.
I I will replace the above command with the dir command then the output of the command is visible.
Would you give me a hint about how to modify the above clases in order to parse the output of the del *.* ?
Please note that the above example is important because I am developping a tool and it is mandatory for that tool to parse the output from a windows batch command.
Best regards,

No - but I will give you a hint about ProcessBuilder and how to develop software properly.
Hint #1: Don't try to automate something that you don't know, or understand, how to do manually.
a. Do you know how to execute 'del *.*' manually in a command window?
b. Did you try that manually to see what happens?
My guess is 'no'. If you had you would know that the response to a 'del *.*' command is going to be this:
Are you sure (Y/N)?
And your 'java class execution' doesn't finish because the 'del' command is waiting for you to answer that question.
Hint #2: Don't try to use ProcessBuilder for an application that requires console input unless you first know how to provide that console input via your Java code.
Your code will wait forever since it does NOT answer that question.
Search the net and The Java Tutorials and you can find examples of executing command line utilities. Then try those examples first and make sure that:
1. They work for you
2. You understand HOW they work
Then you can modify those examples to do what you want to do.

Getting the output of a batchfile to Powershell

Greetings. I have a list of batchfiles that triggers Powershell script, that will throw error message when different errors were encountered in the execution.
In the end of the batchfile, I have included:
if %errorlevel% neq 0 (echo error in previous command & exit /b %errorlevel%)
and it works fine in itself.
However due to some requirements I need to use new separate batchfile that triggers a Powershell, that will in turn lauch the batchfiles mentioned earlier.
In the new Powershel, I have included:
$process = start-process $batchFile.FullName -ArgumentList $argumentList -PassThru -Wait
and is able to get $process.ExitCode. However I would like to get the output or error message that would be raised from the first batchfile instead.
Any advice?

Hi Bdrc,
If you want to capture the output of the batch file, please try to run the batch file like:
d:\test.bat argu1 argu2
And the cmdlet start-process will start a process with the batch file.
For more detailed information, please refer to this article:
How to Execute a .bat File within a PowerShell Job
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

How to get the output of a standard report RFBILA00 in PDF form.

hi,
I have to get the output of the standard report RFBILA00 in the PDF form.
Thanks.

Hi Rao,
you can run your report RFBILA00 in background and in background job you can add one more step, next in that step you can add custom report like zsubmit .
job should be set like
step1: RFBILA00 with variant.
Step2: zsubmit report with variant.
In Zsubmit report you can read, your first step spool using FM GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO
and pass that spool in the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when second report run in job you can set your target like download in the server or send email etc.

Is it possible to get the output of a text container into Spool..?

Hi
I am trying to write a report for a standard transaction(SM65) in BDC and run thru background job so as to get the output in to Spool. Right now I am facing an issue to get the SM65(text container) tcode output into spool.
FYI..I am using "CALL TRANSACTION 'SM65' USING BDCDATA MODE 'E'."
Please provide tour valuable inputs.
Thanks!
Shiv

Hi Shiv,
Instead of writing BDC for T-code SM65 I would suggest you to use following function module to get the required data.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BPT_ANALYSE_START'
        EXPORTING
          server_name            = servername_tmp
          check_all_btc_servers = sbpt1020-allsrvchk
          profile_check          = sbpt1020-profilechk
          xpgm_environment_check = sbpt1020-xpgmcheck
        TABLES
          protocol_tbl           = global_protocol_tbl
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS                 = 99.
Once you got the data into "global_protocol_tbl " you can create spool of it.
