How to combine offscrub vb script with batch file

Hello all,
I am trying to upgrade from Office 2010 to Office 2013, but Office 2013 does not completely remove all of Office 2010 and Visio 2010, so I want to use the offscrub vb script from this article (
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/08/how-to-obtain-and-use-offscrub-to-automate-the-uninstallation-of-office-products.aspx) to first remove office 2010, Visio2010, and Project. I already extracted the offscrub vb script. How can I combine
the offscrub vb script with a batch file I created to silently install office 2013, so that after offscrub is finished running, the office2013 install would begin? I would like to apply the file via GPO. Or if there is away that one file calls the other.
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you

Yes - that is not GP Software Distribution. It is a very flakey method as you are finding out. I highly recommend posting in the Office 2013 administration forum for assistance. There are many 'gotchas".
The problems will come as a result of needing to remove 2010. If 2010 is a trial version or an expired license you will have many issues. Also the build of the MSP needs to be manged correctly.
I would add the uninstall script to the MSP package and make it a dependency or try and build an MSI to run the uninstall script using Software Distribution or run it independently and be sure you get a reboot before you attempt to do the install.
The Admins in Office 2013 forum will have many bits of experience that you will not likely find here or not find as readily.
Good luck.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do you pass shell scripts with cocoa?

How do you pass shell scripts with cocoa?

You asked for more detail -- I don't know if this is what you were referring to or not, but here's a little more detail on how to use the system() function if that's what you wanted to know.
As etresoft mentioned, the system() function can be useful for the kind of thing you are talking about. You will need to write the following statement at the top of your code if you want to use it:
#include <stdlib.h>
To use the system() function, simply put the command as you would write it in the Terminal between double quotes between the parenthesis. For example, something as simple as:
system("ls");
I don't what the practical use of the above statement would be, but it will run, and that's the general format for the system() function. So just put between the quotes whatever command you want to send.
Hope there was something helpful here.

How to get the output of my batch file or script file

Hello,
I am a beginner in java and I have to run a batch file(in win) or a script(in linux). I want the output of the file in my java program. How to read the output. I used the following code and it always gave me the empty string output
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
p = r.exec("./test.bat"); //./test.sh
int res = p.waitFor();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String tempStr = "", str = null;
while((str=br.readLine()) != null) {
tempStr += str + "\n";
System.out.println(tempStr);
I know this is a simple one but it's taking a lot of time. Can any one there help me quickly.

hi
the below function works well for me..
just make a try with it
protected String runConsoleCommand(String command) throws IOException {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
InputStream stdoutStream = new BufferedInputStream(p.getInputStream());
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
for (; ; ) {
int c = stdoutStream.read();
if (c == -1)
break;
buffer.append( (char) c);
String outputText = buffer.toString();
stdoutStream.close();
System.out.println("the output to file is:"+outputText);
return outputText;

Powershell script calling batch file, how to "echo" or otherwise pass in two or more values asked for by batch file

I've been having a lot of problems trying to get an old batch file we have laying around, to run from my powershell script. The batch file actually asks for two inputs from the user. I've managed to put together a powershell that echos a response, but of
course, that only will answer one of the prompts. As usual, I've simplified things here to get my testing done. The batch file looks like this:
@ECHO OFF
SET /P CUSTID=Customer Number:
SET /P DBCOUNT=Number of Live Databases:
ECHO Customer Id was set to : %CUSTID%
ECHO Database Count was set to : %DBCOUNT%
Two inputs, two echos to verify values have been set. Now, the powershell looks like this:
Param(
[string]$ClientADG,
[string]$ClientDBCount,
[scriptblock]$Command
$ClientADG = '1013'
$ClientDBCount = '2'
$Response = $ClientADG + "`r`n" + $ClientDBCount
$Command = 'Invoke-Command -ComputerName localhost -ScriptBlock {cmd /c "echo ' + $ClientADG + ' | E:\Scripts\Setup\Company\DatabaseSetupTest.bat"}'
powershell -command $Command
Output looks like:
Customer Number: Number of Live Databases: Customer Id was set to : 1013
Database Count was set to :
As expected, as I'm only passing in one value. I can't figure out how to get a second value passed in for the second prompt. Instead of $ClientADG, I tried to mash the two value together in the $Response variable with a cr/lf or a cr or a lf in between,
but no go there either. The first input gets set to the second value, and second input is blank still. In the essence of time, I need to get this batch file called from Powershell to get some folks productive while I actually rewrite what the batch file does
in another powershell, so it can be integrated into other things. (I'm automating what a bunch of people spend hours doing into multiple scripts and eventually one BIG script so they can focus on doing their real jobs instead).
How do I get this right in powershell? I don't want to modify the batch file at all at this point, just get it running from the powershell.
Thanks in advance!

It's a "simple" test so I can figure out how to get the arguments passed from ps to bat. The bat file looks like this:
@ECHO OFF
SET CUSTID = %1
SET DBCOUNT = %2
ECHO Customer Id was set to : %CUSTID%
ECHO Database Count was set to : %DBCOUNT%
That's it. The PS script looks like this:
Invoke-Command-ComputerName myserver-ScriptBlock{cmd/c"E:\Scripts\Setup\Company\DatabaseSetupTest.bat
1013 2"}
That's it. The bat file exists on "myserver", and I'm getting the echo back, but without the values.

How to install and set printer paper and tray automatically via script or batch file

Hi,
Our firm using HP Printers and we need to deploy printer in Citrix Environment where setting does not save to the Base PC Image.
Because our Environment is Citrix (User Settings and Printer are deployed when user login).
Can we build the setting into the Base PC Image for All users?
Printer get install when using login.
Problem that I am encounter right now are:
1. How to correctly identify all tray from each printer.
2. How to set all paper tray to A4
I am currently using Powershell Script to install printers during login, all the printer driver has been installed to the Base PC Image.
But the trouble I have is when the script run to completion.
It only added the printer.
I've been googling, but I can't find a way to detect printer tray or how to set all the tray to A4.
I don't mind using any type of script/batch file or even program.
Any of the following language is C#, VB.NET, powershell, vbscript or Event Access to HP API ?
Our Environment:
Windows 7 x32 SP1
Windows Server 2008 R2 (Print Server)
I am using the PCL 6 Printer Driver.
Our Printers are:
HP LJ CP1025NW
HP C LJ 4650
HP C LJ 3525
HP LJ 1045
HP LJ 2050
HP LJ 3055
HP LJ 4015
HP LJ 4350
HP LJ 4700
HP LJ 2035n
Thanks in advance
Regards Dat.

Most of those printers are commercial grade printers. It would be best to post in the commercial LaserJet forums.

How to combine a content search with an attribute search with the API

Hi
I have been working with searches in Content Services using the API and I have successfully set up the search over the contents of a document and inside of the Category attributes of the document.
My problem comes when I try to combine this 2 kinds of search, that is when I want to find all the documents that cointain the text "test" and at the same time contain other text into their category attributes.
What I do is to build 2 SearchExpression's one for the content search and the other for the attributes search and then joining them in a third SearchExpression object using the FdkConstants.OPERATOR_AND. When I search using only the first or the second SearchExpression everything works fine. But when I do the search using the third SearchExpression an ORACLE.FDK.ParameterError:ORACLE.FDK.InvalidSearchExpression
exception id raised.
The code I'm using is like this:
private SearchExpression getMainSE(String contentQuery, CategoryInfo catInfo)
     SearchExpression contentSE = null;
     SearchExpression catSE = null;
     SearchExpression mainSE = null;
     if(contentQuery != null)
          contentSE = this.setupSE4Contents(contentQuery);
     if(catInfo != null)
          catSE = this.setupSE4Category(catInfo);
     if(contentSE != null && catSE != null)
          mainSE = new SearchExpression();
          mainSE.setLeftOperand(FdkConstants.OPERATOR_AND);
          mainSE.setLeftOperand(catSE);
          mainSE.setRightOperand(contentSE);
     else
          mainSE = contentSE != null ? contentSE : catSE;
     return mainSE;
CategoryInfo is one class made by my own that contains the categoryId of the document and a List of the attributes where I want to search. mainSE is the SearchExpression that is returned.The portion of code that appears to be having problems is this:
if(contentSE != null && catSE != null)
     mainSE = new SearchExpression();
     mainSE.setLeftOperand(FdkConstants.OPERATOR_AND);
     mainSE.setLeftOperand(catSE);
     mainSE.setRightOperand(contentSE);
And finally I only execute the search using the mainSE returned by the function:
// Define search options
NamedValue[] nv = WsUtility.newNamedValueArray(new Object[][] {
     { Options.FOLDER_RESTRICTION,
          folder != null ? new Long(folder.getId()) : null },
     { Options.SEARCH_VERSION_HISTORY, Boolean.TRUE } });
     SearchExpression mainSE = this.getMainSE(contentQuery, catInfo);
     try
          // Search documents
          NamedValue[] result = sem.search(mainSE, nv, null);
          // etc....
Is this the correct way to combine a content search with an attribute search???
I know that this is possible since I have seen that it can be done in the Collaboration Suite UI.
I hope yoy can help me...
Thanks in advance

Not sure if this is a typo (while pasting code on the forum) or is the cause of the problem you describe.
Shouldn't mainSE.setLeftOperand(FdkConstants.AND) be replaced by mainSE.setOperator(FdkConstants.AND) ?

How to run 11g Form from a batch file (.bat) !

Hi,
Previously, I run my Form 6i from a batch file (with Windows Schedular Tasks) as below;
E:\orant\bin\ifrun60.exe e:\lock.fmx
This form lock some items on a certain date (with the help of Windows Schedular Task).
How can this possible in Forms 11g ?
Kindly guide !
Regards.
Vick.

Well are you talking about doing that on a free standing/developer machine or are you thinking of on the
server? In any case forms6i was a native application and forms11 is a web application that requires weblogic, even on the developer machine.
I think you will have to start from square one describing what you are trying to do.
Soapbox: I really think if forms "went back" to having a native deployment option it would be highly treasured. Here is a case where we are still running 6i for that reason. We have a situation where they interview clients at another location using a laptop. The laptop form brings up successive question screens, which questions are asked of the clients and their responses recorded. If the interview data is lost we cannot bring these people back and do it over. In the meantime the wifi connecting back to the database server can go bad. It can get over-loaded, it can just crap out. The firewalls on the way can decide rightly or wrongly to time the connection out. There's a bunch of ways the connection can get dropped. So what we do is that form saves a copy of the data to the disk in a file before it tries to submit it to the database, which could fail. So we have a backup. Can't easily do that in 11. I have yet to have gotten webutil to work. It's a mobile option that is becoming popular and forms should do it, have the ability for the form to run independently on the client including an ability to save data and of course if you saved it, people will want to be able to sync it back to the database when the client is reconnected.

How to combine the classes from 2 jar files into 1?

Hi there
I have got 2 jar files with the same name but the classes that they contain are different. So, I want to combine those 2 files into 1. Could anyone please tell me how to add the classes in a jar file to another jar file?
Thanks for your help!
From
Edmund

The jar utility allows you to extract files as well as put them into a jar. This is in the java docs.
You might have to hand modify the manifest file if it was hand modified in the first place. All you should have to do is copy the text from one file to another. The manifest will have the same name so you will have to extract to different dirs so it isn't overwritten.
Steps:
-Create dir1 and dir2
-Extract jar1 into dir1, Extract jar2 into dir2.
-Manually examine manifests and combine if needed.
-Copy files from one dir to another.
-Use jar tool to create new jar.

How do i print a photo with the file name

This seem stupid simple but I cannot find an answer anywhere. I want to print out hardcopies of phots with the file name printed with the photo. In Windows there is a program called Picture Manager (which has been eliminated in Office 2013) where you can open a folder of images, rename them individually or in batches, resize, edit, etc, all in one lovely program. You can print out individual or contact sheets with specific information for each image. Easy, one program, easy results.
Is there a comparable program for the Mac? I have searched the web and can only find suggestions that use multiple progams, downloads, plugins, and convoluted work arounds to do this. I have tried printing contact sheets in iPhoto but it crashed each time. Our IT guy suggested moving the images into an album and printing from there but it still crashes. And even if it worked I want large image per page but iPhoto leaves a large amount of white space.
The quickest way I have figured out is this:
Select the images in Finder, make a separate folder and copy the images there. (3steps)
Locate the folder in Finder and drag it to the Bridge icon (4steps)
Select the images in Bridge, adjust the output settings and Save as a pdf (6steps)
Locate the pdf in Finder, open in Acrobat, select the images (again!) and print (9steps)

How can I create a array with all files from a directory

How can I create a array of files or varchar with all files from a directory?

I thought the example could be improved upon. I've posted a solution on my blog that doesn't require writing the directory list to a table. It simply returns it as a nested table of files as a SQL datatype. You can find it here:

How to combine multiple webservices into one WSDL file

Gurus,
I have 4 four webservices(ws1,ws2,ws3 & ws4) defined in XI. Normally in XI when we define webservice ,WSDL file will be generated for each interface. Now I have 4 related interfaces, so 4 WSDL files will generated. Suppose if I have 100 webservices then 100 WSDL files need to be generated & need to send to other party to consume our services, which is very tedious task & to track also. So is it possible to combine related webservices into one WSDL file? Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Santhosh

Hi,
Instead of trying to combine the interfaces, you can try to define your interface mapping with 4 sender interfaces with in one interface mapping . I think this may give you the result you are expecting.
If you want entire content to be in one interface , then, define single interface which can accomadate, all message ocntent of all 4 interfaces.Means your sender message to contain the 4 datatypes internally.

Reyaz

Brain freeze with batch file and jar

My batch file located in the startup folder.

cd C:\Program Files\My-App
javaw -cp C:\Program Files\My-App\Startup.jar; SrvcUtilTest
EXITthe error I get is "Could Not Find Main Class. Program will exit"
If I take the Set Path line out it works fine, but my customers will not have the JRE installed on their systems,so I set the path to the jre included with my app..
What am I missing or forgeting to do.
What am I missing

Nevermind, fixed it.
Moved the jar into the startup folder, added a manifest file and changed this line
