How could I have a VI execute a DOS batch file?

I need to update the PC's hardware timeclock and the Windows clock via a VI front panel. If I can update hardware and windows timeclocks from a DOS prompt (TIME/NEW TIME), is there a way to provide a LV interface for the same operation? If a VI could run a DOS batch file, having the operator enter a new time in a DOS prompt window is the next best thing.
Thanks,

Have you tried right clicking the VI and selecting Help?
I found the online example by selecting help. I'm using LV 5.1 and I've noticed that offline help is not as detailed as it is with LV 7 Student Edition (I have student edition at home).
In my latest attempts, I have the string "command.com /c time" wired to the command line input of system exec.vi. I get the dos prompt and a request for a new time.
To avoid the operator having to enter the time in the DOS window, I tried passing carriage returns and a time update value in the command line input. It didn't work. Do I have to add a system exec.vi for each command line entry and concatenate the vi's somehow?
Thanks,

Hi,
Use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE method to run any application in your case batch file..
The batch file you are trying to run should be accessible on presentation system i.e. user's machine.

HELP! my emails disappeared after I modified the pop incoming and outgoing server settings in my apple mail email account. I have checked all my mailboxes--gone. How could they have disappeared? I am talking about 200 plus business emails

I have checked all my mailboxes--gone. How could they have disappeared? I am talking about 200 plus business emails. I am using Lion X.0

Thomas,
"Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it. When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account. I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN! It just deletes it - which *** for me. Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.) I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem. Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those. Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often. ;-)
Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL! ;-)

How do I stop ODI if my DOS BATCH file flags an error?

I have a DOS batch file as the first step in my ODI package. How do I send a code to ODI to tell it that it has failed and to stop processing the rest of the package? I was told I could use an ODI variable to accomplish this but not sure how.
Also, how do I pass a semaphore/flag an error in my DOS batch file to ODI ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I tried to search for this info in John's blog: http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/search?q=error
but was not able to find it.
:)

In your package 1st step is OS Command then some other steps involved, right ?
In that case you can have your package like this
OS Command (first step) ---------OK--------------> 2nd step -------------------> 3rd step
So your 2nd step will run only when the 1st step is successful, it will not start 2nd step as 1st itself has failed .

How could I export a sqlplus query to a .txt file?

Hi,
I have an Oracle 10g database running on a linux e3 server.
I have generated a SQL query using sqlplus on the server site, so the result is under the SQL>
How could I export it to a .txt?
Thanks a lot!
Any advice is highly appreciated!
Qian

Hi, Qian,
In SQL*Plus, say "SPOOL filename", and all the output that appears on your screen will also be written to filename, until you say "SPOOL OFF".
Look up SPOOL in the SQL*Plus manual for more details.

How can spwan out parallel HBR in one single batch file?

We have several Hyperion business rules to be executed at night batch. To ease the control and management, we put all business rules under one single batch file. However how can we spawn out different business rules so that these rules can be executed in parallel?
We are using Windows Server 2003, Scheduled Tasks with Essbase ver 11.1
Thanks!

CL wrote:
R1 and R2 can in parallel and but must finish before R3 and R4?
Can you START /WAIT a batch that then spawns two more START sessions without a /WAIT?
Do that twice and you will get rough parallelism.
Failing that, why not just use an OS scheduler? Have the first processes write completion logs. Time the second so that the first should be done, but put in a loop that looks for FILEEXIST.
Lots of ways to approach this. Scripting this stuff is always fun.
Regards,
Camerin LackpourThanks! Yes there are lots of ways to handle with batch scripts. Windows default Scheduled Tasks does not have dependency checking function and needs to write scripts to check something e.g. the log file.

Error Executing Interface using batch file

Hi All,
I am currently using a batch file to execute particular interface from remote location.
The steps I used before executing are
1. I have created the scenario for the interface.
2. I have used this in the batch file to run the interface.
3. I have mapped the network drive to get the startscen.bat file.
The error which was generated was (Z - mapped server name)

Help needed in executing a remote batch file

I need to execute a batch file which is located on a remote machine through my machine. I have no idea to go about with. Please can someone help me out with can be used to execute the remote bat file. I am at present using Runtime.exec() to execute it on my machine.. But i cant use it to execute teh bat file on teh remote machine.Please help

Below is an example server that would run on the remote host. You can connect to it using telnet from DOS prompt, it takes a Y/N to run your command in the cmd variable. I haven't included code for a client as it's really not needed for the example below.
Change the cmd and port variables to what you need. You may need to setup firewall rules to allow your chosen port.
Once it's running, you can test it by using "telnet localhost 1234" on your machine, localhost would obviously become the remote computer's hostname or IP.
I am incredibly new to Java (using the forums to learn bits), so excuse any bad coding practises, I'm sure people will point them out.
Keep in mind that this is totally insecure, so if you're using it on an untrusted network, you may want to look into encryption and providing some kind of password authentication, that, for the moment is out of my league.
Screenshot here.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class RemoteServer {
     public static int    port = 1234;           // Port to listen on
     public static String cmd = "C:\\Test.bat"; // Command to run
     public static void main(String[] args)
          System.out.println("Waiting for connection...");
          try {
               /* If you want the server to run forever, uncomment the while
                  loop */
               // while (true)
                    startServer();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(1);
     /* Starts the server */
     private static void startServer() throws IOException
          ServerSocket server = null;
          Socket       client = null;
          String input;
          try {
               server = new ServerSocket(port);

          } catch (IOException e) {
               System.err.println("Unable to accept connection.");
               System.exit(1);
          PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
          BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                                                 client.getInputStream()));
          out.println("You are connected, ready to launch command: <y/n>");
          while ((input = in.readLine()) != null)
               if (input.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))
                    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                    rt.exec(cmd);
                    out.println("Command executed... disconnecting.");
                    System.out.println("Command executed... disconnecting client.");
                    break;

How could we have the Sonos wireless speakers work with Aruba System?

Answer- Generally we may notice that the Sonos wireless devices are not able to pass discovers / requests / replies through Aruba controller . One of the main reason could be the DLNA limitation on the controller when Airgroup is enabled. In such situations, if we disable Airgroup we can notice these devices start working fine. But if we want to use Sonos wireless speakers with AirGroup enabled on their Aruba wireless networks, we may have to enable some DLNA Airgroup services.
If we check through the blocked AirGroup services multiple times (show airgroup blocked-service-id dlna). We can find the following service IDs to the DLNA Media airgroup service in order to make this system work as desired:
airgroupservice "DLNA Media"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:GroupRenderingControl:1"
id "urn:schemas-sonos-com:service:Queue:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AVTransport:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:RenderingControl:1"
id "urn:schemas-tencent-com:service:QPlay:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:GroupManagement:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ZoneGroupTopology:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:DeviceProperties:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:MusicServices:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AlarmClock:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:ZonePlayer:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:SystemProperties:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1"
id "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ConnectionManager:1"
We can add these under an airgroup service as "Sonos Services" or any other name in order to differentiate this traffic from other DLNA traffic.

vikrams-Is this method supported for IAP-103 running 6.4.0.3-4.1.0.2_45704? I create the Service however when I try to add the service ID to my Sonos defined service, it is asking for the service ID in the format of: _<alpha numeric string>._tcp or ._udp? Thanks!Leandro

How could I have lost email accounts in Mountain Lion?

After returning from lunch today I discovered that the only email account remaining in Mail was my iCloud account. My me.com and earthlink.net accounts had simply disappeared along with all related folders and saved emails. I am running OS 10.8.1 on an early 2008 Mac Pro. All was well earlier in the day while I was working with ViaCAD Pro V7 and I had not been doing anything in the way of system changes or working extensively with Mail within the last several days. Have any issues surfaced in the OS or current version of Mail that would explain this? This is really scary.

etresoft,
Maybe you can help me.. I'm pulling out my hair. I had my brand new MacBook Pro replaced today because of a faulty display, and spent the day migrating.
Long story short, after restoring and migrating shenanigans, I have everything back on my new computer, BUT... I need to change only my Home Folder name, and it has a space AND a number in it! Don't ask me how this happened
When I go into Users and Groups, and then right-click on my account and go to Advanced, it shows me that my "Account name" is all one word, basically "firstlastname", but my "Home Directory" folder is "firstlastname 1" (with a space). I think this was a secondary account that Migration Assistant created, but somehow my actual account name is correct... and yet the Home Directory has a space and a 1
So all I need to do is change the Home Directory name (because Dropbox is looking for it to be "firstlastname" and it no longer is, among a myriad of other issues). But I don't think I can use your tip in order to do this in the Terminal if there's a space in the name, can I?
I appreciate any help anyone can give me. This all stemmed from Apple's shoddy workmanship: a dead pixel in a brand new MBP, and then when they replaced the screen, the Wi-Fi died and they said the antenna in the display was faulty, hence they gave me this new machine.
Thank you!!

While trying to delete an image or header on Index page, Index..html disappeared--how could this have happened?

Windows 7, Adobe CS6
In Dreamweaver, from files located on a USB, on the Index screen, I was trying to 1) delete an Image in order to insert a different one and link it to a page; 2) delete the Header in order to insert a border and then replace the Header.
I seem to have succeeded with the Image rollover replacement and link. Clicking on the Header should have activated it so that I could delete it; but it didn't.
All of the images and links are intact; I just can't open the Index page, since I can't find the Index.html file. The last time I copied the USB files onto my C: drive was 3 weeks ago.
1. What might I have done accidentally to cause the Index.html file to be deleted?
2. Exactly what does the Index.html file contain? Would the one that's 3 weeks old work? No, I'm thinking, since some changes were made in the html coding in the meantime?

This is the problem with working in Design View only. You really need to work in Split View so you can see the code that DW creates/selects for you. Often times, selecting elements in Design View will capture too much or too little code. When you hit delete, you may have deleted much more code than was needed. The result is invalid code, unbalanced tags, etc.. all of which might explain why your page is blank in Design View.
Switch to code view. Copy & paste the remaining code into a web forum reply (do not use e-mail, it won't come through). If we can see the code you have to work with, we might be able to help you repair it.

After installing a MAC update, Firefox has been uninstalled - how could this have happened?

I installed a recommended update (on MAC OS X 10.7.5), comprising updates for Word, Excel and Microsoft Messenger. When the installation process was completed, Firefox had been de-installed without any notification. Why? Has anyone had the same experience?

So I just got back from vacation and uninstalled firefox. Reinstalled it and I still have the same problem. The odd thing is now it doesn't work in Google Chrome either. So I'm sure it is a Mac problem now. Probably has nothing to do with FireFox and everything to do with being dumb enough to buy a 4000 $ paperweight called mac. What a hunk of junk.
Thanks for your help.

How can I have iTunes find its newly converted mp3 files?

Hi,
I am not a power user. I have a playlist that is apparently composed of different file formats. So when I tried to burn them to a CD it gave me 92 songs that could not be burned as an mp3. I then chose to convert them to mp3. It apparently did it because I looked for the files in finder and saw the mp3 versions.
How can I now have iTunes use THOSE new mp3 files for burning? There must be a simple way to do that.
Thanks,
Jorge

Thanks Jim,
Is there any way to list them by "type"? I made the playlist from several playlists and I am sure that some of the offending songs are from several of those playlists.
I tried tricking iTunes into writing them onto a cd by just dumping the new MP3 duplicates into the same list and then telling it to burn. I then expected it to tell me the same 92 songs could not be written and planned to just tell it to skip those since now had them in as MP3s but it is now telling me that it will require more than one CD. Is that because the files are now bigger or because it is counting the 92 files that it will not be writing anyway?
Thanks,
Jorge

Could I have some help with making these two files merge?

Copyright - Trademarking - Prohibiting further use of these files (Unless you are helping me) - Etc..
Hello, I'm back with another problem and if you read the last post you would have realized that I shortened the code. My goal is to replace my spacer and header with a single header that I based my design around. I just can not get this too work with the rest of the document I have had too many attempts. I will post my header files in 'RED' to begin with and the files I need to combine in 'BLUE'

Thanks for the help in advance.

You're not getting any help because your HTML & CSS code is pretty messy. It's like asking an interior designer to make over a very untidy bedroom. It's not going to happen until you clean things up.
I would start with just the basic HTML code like this. Avoid those redundant style10, style19, style108 tags.    You really don't need them. HTML selectors provide you with all the hooks you need for most things. Also, you should run a spell check. I saw errors but I didn't fix them.

How do I put my jar executables into a cab file to create a setup/install?

I want to create a setup program for installing my jar executable. I've seen ones that create cab files with a setup.exe program and would like to do the same. Any suggestions?

Well, JARs generally don't have support files. That's the whole idea. A JAR is designed to be a stand alone application. You don't really need to install it, for that matter. I just thought you might be wanted shortcuts or something.
Actually, there is some way to install Java programs through Java Web Start, if you want to check that out. I don't know anything about it, though.

How could I have a VI execute a DOS batch file?
