How to call an external application from the current one

Hi Guys,
Im not sure if/how this is possible.
For example:
I have two projects : Project1 and Project 2.
When I click on a button in Project2, Project1 needs to be launced. That is, the Main class of Project1 needs to be triggered.
How do I do this? I have tried everything.
Kind Regards,
Christiaan

There is no problem with handling multiple Frame with a javaFX app. Some features are needed to improve that, like AlwaysOnTop, modal, ...
For exemple it can be used like a splashscreen.
If your question was about launching anything on your machine, the regular java API can do that.

- Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:

How to call an applescript application from Office 2011 Excel VBA

All:
I have been pounding my head how to implement a working VBA application into the Mac environment. I have tried a number of approaches calling applescript from VBA. I would like to call my applescript application and pass one argument. My applescript application is as follows:
<code>
on run argv
set theURL to (item 1 of argv)
set p_path to do shell script "echo ~"
set m_path to POSIX file p_path
set theName to text -((offset of "/" in (reverse of characters of theURL) as text) - 1) thru -1 of theURL
set theFile to (p_path & "/Downloads/" & theName)
set macPath to (POSIX file theFile)
do shell script "/usr/bin/curl " & theURL & " -o " & quoted form of POSIX path of macPath
end run
</code>
My last attempt within VBA is:
<code>
Sub SaveMetaDataFile(URL As String, shortFileName As String)
Dim scriptToRun As String
Dim posixcmd As String
posixcmd = ThisWorkbook.Path
scriptToRun = "tell application " & posixcmd & ":MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app " & URL
MsgBox "[" & scriptToRun & "]"
MacScript (scriptToRun)
</code>
I first tried to call the script directly without the "tell application" and I still obtain an error. I also tried the following in VBA and I get the same error with the last lane of code:
<code>
scriptToRun = "set theURL to " & """" & URL & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set p_path to do shell script " & """" & "/bin/echo ~ " & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set m_path to " & """" & posixcmd & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set theName to " & """" & shortFileName & """" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set theFile to (p_path & " & """/Downloads/""" & " & theName)" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "set macPath to (POSIX file theFile)" & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "do shell script " & """" & "/usr/bin/curl " & """" & " & " & " theURL " & " & " & """" & " -o " & """" & " & " & " quoted form of POSIX path of macPath"
MsgBox scriptToRun
'scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "do shell script " & """/usr/bin/curl """ & " & " & " theURL " & """ -o """ & " & " & " quoted form of POSIX path of macPath"
MacScript (scriptToRun)
</code>
The above code is from the applescript application. The applescript application works well using the terminal via osascript. For example:
xenas-imac:Census Work Xena$ osascript MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app http://www2.census.gove/acs20095yr/summaryfile/Sequence_Number_and_Table_numberLookup.xls
xenas-imac:Census Work Xena$
The whole goal is to download a file into the Download directory from Excel to allow the next step to import the file into Excel for the user. Any help here would be great!
Thank you;
Lori

Update:
Ok have the module almost working and matches the syntax within the test applescript I had created, but the VBA code via the MacScript() call is generating an invalid procedure or argument call. The following is the test applescript to compare the created string to be passed to VBA MacScript() function:
<code>
set appPath to quoted form of POSIX path of "Macintosh HD:Users:Xena:Desktop:Census Work:"
do shell script "/usr/bin/osascript " & appPath & "MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app " & "http://www2.census.gove/acs20095yr/summaryfile/Sequence_Number_and_Table_numberLookup.xls"
</code>
The following is the VBA module that generates the above word for word as far as I can tell:
<code>
Sub SaveMetaDataFile(URL As String, shortFileName As String)
Dim scriptToRun As String
Dim posixcmd As String
posixcmd = ThisWorkbook.Path
posixcmd = posixcmd & ":"
scriptToRun = "set appPath to quoted form of POSIX path of " & Chr(34) & posixcmd & Chr(34) & Chr(13)
scriptToRun = scriptToRun & "do shell script " & Chr(34) & "/usr/bin/osascript " & Chr(34) & " & appPath & " & Chr(34) & "MetaDataFileDownloadScript.app " & Chr(34) & " & " & Chr(34) & URL & Chr(34)
MsgBox "[" & scriptToRun & "]"
MacScript (scriptToRun)
End Sub
</code>
The message box in the above VBA code matches my test applescript file and I have taken the output of the MsgBox and used it in a test applescript and it works great, but VBA is throwing "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument".
Looking at Microsoft's definition it takes a string argument and I have made sure that scriptToRun is a string type, so at this point I suspect there is something wrong with the MacScript() funciton, or I am missing something above. Is there another way to call an applescript application from VBA outside the MacScript() function? Or is there something I am missing? Any help or suggestions is needed.
Thank you;

Call an External Application from Web UI overview

Hi Gurus,
I am stuck with a situation here,
Scenario is i have to create a button in overview page, such that when we click on it we need to call a external application.
external application can be anything (URL).
can anybody give a solution.
thanx in advance.

The process for launching the external URLs should be same as Web Dynpro Transactions. But in this case while defining the URLs in the transaction launcher , you have to select the option for Non BSP URLs & defiine a MAPPED Logsys( In your case the could be any system in which the application exists). Also the URL for Web Dynpro applicatons is sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/Web_Dynpro_Component_Name and is recognized by the target system. In your case you have to build a URL which should be recognized by your target system.
This is how I have launched a ABAP webdynpro transaction. I guess if the URL is correct you can launch other external transactions.

Calling an PC-Application from the CUSTOM.PLL

We are moving from Oracle Financials 10.7 (Smart Client) to Oracle Financials 11.3
In Oracle Financials 10.7 we call a PC-Application from within the CUSTOM.PLL
Can anyone tell me if this is still possible in 11.3 when the forms are running on a formsserver and not on the PC anymore.

If "outside of network" is over NAT (for example from Internet) you can access to Apex.
1. You can set public IP for your APEX server and call http://public_ip:PORT/apex/
2. You can redirect port on your router. (if call on 8080 redirect to -> local ip and port
Also you have to open remote access:
exec dbms_xdb.setListenerLocalAccess
(l_access => FALSE);

I need to call an external application (on the user's PC) from web forms 6i

We do imaging here, and all our images are scanned to a novell fileserver that has a drive letter mapped to the user's PC.
These images are used for Oracle applications and other applications, and we only store the image's location path and file type in oracle.
e.g. image_path varchar2(100), image_type varchar2(3)
would be: 'w:\archive\ap\0127\ap12345', 'tif' where 'ap12345' is the image name.
The file is stored on the novell box without an extension, which has worked fine for us with our forms applications in client server.
Moving to web forms, I'm trying to reference the images via web using forms 6i triggers and web.show_document('file:///'||image_path) for the URL.
This finds the image, however, internet explorer doesn't know what to pull it up as without the extension, and if I try to put an extension on the file, the browser isn't able to identify it since it doesn't have an extension on the fileserver, so I'm in a catch 22. I'm unable to put an extension on the original copy of the file on the fileserver due to other applications that also need to reference it.
Also, I'm unable to go directly to the file on the novell server from my 9iAS webserver.
My question is:
Would it be possible to use javascript or some other means from inside the forms 6i trigger, or a database procedure that the forms trigger kicks off inside the Jinitiator JVM to go out to the client PC's file system, grab that file and copy it to a temporary location on the 9iAS webserver -OR- the client PC with the extension, and then reference it from there?
If so, how could I do that?

The images are stored on an external novell server that I don't have any access to from my 9iAS server. I can find the novell box from the windows machines, but I have no direct means of "grabbing" that image ...
or so I thought.
I'm looking now as the Oracle FileUpload javabean utility that I can put within a form to let the user click on the view-image button, it will then kick off a procedure to grab the file from the user's mapped network drive, copy the file to the server with an extension and into the directory I want it, and let me then link to the copy of it with a web.show_document command ...
At least that's the theory. So far all I get is an ORA-105100 error and I've doublechecked and triple-checked my path and classpath settings everywhere the documentation and several notes says to check them. I've had oracle looking at it too, but so far, nada - still working on it though.

How to call a WD Application from a function module?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement in my project to call my web dynpro application from a function module .
Can someone help me out with this , some example or docs would be of great help .
Regards
Abhishek Sahai

Hi,
why you want to have a FM to call the Application. If it is called also, do you want to display the applicaiton output to user.
Do you use this FM inside any class or WD compoent or what.
There is a class CL_WD_UTILITIES=>CONSTRUCT_WD_URL where an Application is generated but you need to have the windoe manager to show this application.
Can you elaborate more on your requriement.
Regards,
Lekha.

How to call an exe program from the JSP page?

How to call and display the interface from a exe (residing on C: drive) on my JSP page. Our customers supplied us with an exe file and they want this to be incorporated on the JSP page that has other components also, like forms, etc. The interface of the program has to be displayed in specific co-ordinates on the JSP page. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Can't be done with JSP.
JSP runs java on the SERVER only.
All that gets to client is an HTML page. So all that
you can do at the client is what an HTML page can do.
Obviously that doesn't include running a file on the
client machine.
Take a look into Applets, or maybe ActiveX controls.Thanks for the reply.
Any idea on how to use the ActiveX controls in this regard?

How Do You "Move" Items/Applications from the Mac Hard Drive?

Hi,
As the subject line suggests I need to "move" things from my regular Mac Hard Drive to the additional Hard Drive I installed. My normal (forgive my lack of technical talk) hard drive is almost full. I would like to move things like iTunes, iPhoto etc to my new hard drive (1TB) so that I can free up space on my current more regularly used hard drive. Is there an easy way to do this?
Ali

There's various approaches you can take. Personally I would try to leave applications and the system on the main drive and just move data files to another drive. Some applications really want to be run from the main drive and will become cranky if you put them elsewhere because things aren't where they expect them to be.
Moving files is often just a matter of dragging them to the new place. Note that if this new place is another drive the files get copied and you will have to delete the originals from the original drive once you are done copying.
Applications can have a complex structure with bits and pieces of files all over the place, some may be invisible. While these can be copied, as I said before it is often best to leave them on the main drive.
Just for your information, you posted your software question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Power Mac G5 > Power Mac G5 (tower) hardware questions area. Your computer information says you are running a Mac Pro and Snow Leopard (which won't run on a G5). It doesn't really matter in this case but if you have a platform specific question in future, for fastest response you might want to make sure it gets into the correct forum.

How do I run Java7 Applications from the desktop

I have a large application developed under the Eclipse RCP platform that I'd like to run on my Mac Pro.
Previously, this was a Java 6 program, that I just clicked on in the finder, and it would start.
This is a packaged app, not a applet or webpage. The authors just recently updated the program to require Java 7 (of course - if it ain't broke - fix it).
I installed Java 7 on my computer, and if I type Java -version it returns with Java 1.7.0_40-b43 as a version. However, if I display the application in the desktop, and try to start it, it says it only has Java 6 installed, and I need to update to Java 7. The Finder knows that it's an app, but the version of software displayed by the application is 1.6.0_65.
Any way to make the Finder use the right version?
Later-
David

It seems that the JDK proposed by Oracle does not include the possibility to run bundled applications directly (dont know why). I've succeeded in a similar case by following the instructions posted here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=411361#c20
Hope this helps !
Cheers
