How to execute a batch file on different remote server using TFS Build

I have a build server and have 2 web servers. I am deploying using TFS Builds. Now, I have a requirement to execute a batch file which is kept on these 2 web servers. i.e. C:\MyBatch\CreateMe.bat
After my build is successful, I need to execute this batch from the build server.
Note, I cannot make any shared folder.

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS?
How do you deploy solution using TFS Build, run MSBuild deploy command or using Release Management?
That C:\MyBatch\CreateMe.bat file stay on your two web server machines separately?
If you want execute this bat file on your two web server machines separately using build process template, you need configure your web server machine as build agent, then add the InvokeProcess activity in build process template to run the bat file on build
agent machine after build, please refer to Hari’s answer reply in this post:

How do I copy a file to a remote server using runtime exec - plz Help!

Hi,
I am trying to copy a file to a remote server using a runtime exec command as follows:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("scp "+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_JAR)+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_JAR_NAME)+".jar "+" "+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_TWO_USERNAME)+"@"+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_TWO_URL)+":"+getProperty(ListNewHandsetDetailsConstant.PROP_OUTPUT_PATH_TWO_JAR));
Problem is this statement does not execute, as when I try it directly on command line, it requests for a password. Any suggestions on how I can get rid of that? I think I might have to configure my ssh_config file, but when I did some "Googling", I found the configuration settings of a ssh2_config file. I tried those (changing it to Host-based Authentication), but it didn't recognise them. Please help, this is so urgent!
Regards,
Simz

Don't use Runtime.exec (or ProcessBuilder) for this. Check out JSch at JCraft (or some other Java SSH API.

Let me guess, you want your web application to run a program on the client and to your surprise that's not working?
Ain't gonna happen.
its taking more time to execute .... that's y is there any other option to execute .exe file other than Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename");Write proper English and you may be taken more seriously.
1) it's not "taking more time to execute", whatever that's supposed to mean.
2) there's no other way to execute something. Not that you should every use even that way anyway
3) whenever you start thinking of executing external programs from Java, start thinking of not using Java in the first place.

How to execute a batch file using javascript

Hi,
I dont know java. i have a batch file to do my task. Im designing the front end with HTML.Can anyone tell the command to execute batchfile using javascript
Message was edited by:
viswanath_java

Java and not JavaScript are not the same thing or even close to the same thing. You appear to be in way over your head. It might be a good time to fess up to your employer that you are underqualified.
Apart from the JavaScript faux pas your question is also lacking because
- you don't identify what this batch file is or does or needs to execute in
- it is very difficult to understand how the front end for this will be HTML
It seems you may one day want something like a Servlet. But you are long way from implementing this solution.

Nobody can know anything. You are not providing any system information, what version of DW you use, what the remote server actually is. and since this is a DW question, ask in their forum with the proper information included.

How to invoke a Batch file in a remote system from JSP

Hi,
Please help me. Its urgent. Here is the problem.
I have Tomcat Server installed in machine A and I have .bat or a perl script file in an another system called Machine B in the same LAN. I want to invoke the .bat file or shell script in the machine B from my JSP running in Tomcat in Machine A. Help is appreciated.

The first thing to be done is that the bat / perl script file should be shared at the remote machine. Means that could be accessed by giving any url.
After that read that file in jsp by opening file input stream for that file and create/save the file by same name at the machine from where the jsp is running by creating file output stream.
Once the file gets created at the machine, execute that by Runtime.exec method. Don't forget to close the streams just after the reading/writting.

How to execute a .reg file in a task sequence using MDT 2013

Hi,
Im trying to add a couple of desktop icons to my custom images during deployment using MDT 2013. I have a .reg file with all commands inside it but I am struggling to get these to work. the .reg file is located on my deployment server and is in a shared
folder which everyone has full read\write access to, I was wondering if someone could help?
The commands inside the .reg file are:
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu /v {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\ClassicStartMenu /v {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Thanks

That's not a *.reg file. that's a set of commands used in a *.cmd file.

DSC powershell xwindowsprocess to execute batch file under different user account

DSC powershell run under "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM".
I am trying to execute a batch file under different user account using xwindowsprocess in DSC resource kit.
I created a custom dsc resource with 3 parameters namely Exepath, Arguments, Credential.
I received those parameter values in settargetresource method.
CallPInvoke
[Source.NativeMethods]::CreateProcessAsUser(("$ExePath "+$Arguments), $Credential.GetNetworkCredential().Domain, $Credential.GetNetworkCredential().UserName, $Credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password)
I tested it by invoking a batch file and writing username under which it executes to a text file.
After executing, the output text file still contains the "Systemname$".

Send file to a remote server

how do I send a file to a remote server?
I attached my code so you can see what is missing.
the purpose of it is to send a server all the files in a directory + the name of directory + how many files there are
URL url=null;
                try {
     url= new URL("www.<server's address>");
                 }catch (MalformedURLException e) {
                  try {
      // Construct data
        File[] picFiles= path.listFiles(new pictureFileFilter());
        int numOfFiles= picFiles.length;
        String setName= path.getName();
        String data= ("setName= " + setName);
        data += ("&" + "numOfFiles= " + numOfFiles);
       String[] allFiles= new String[numOfFiles];
       for (int i=0; i<numOfFiles; i++) {
             FileInputStream FIS= new FileInputStream(path);
          //WHAT TO DO HERE?!?!?
     data += ("&"+"allFiles="+allFiles);
        // Send data
                   URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
                  conn.setDoOutput(true);
                  conn.setDoInput(true);
                  OutputStreamWriter wr = new
                                             OutputStreamWriterconn.getOutputStream());
                  wr.write(data);
                  wr.flush();
        // Get the response
                    BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new
                                            InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
                   String line;
                    while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                                //what to do with response (this part is OK)
                 new GoodBadMassage(line);
                     wr.close();
     rd.close();
         } catch (Exception e) {
         }~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
another thing-
is the line --- conn.setRequestProperty("content-type","binary/data");
replace the need in ---
String data= ("setName= " + setName);
OutputStreamWriter wr = new utputStreamWriter..
wr.write(data);
I'm not sure what does is do (setRequestProperty)
THANKS!!

You start out by trying to use a malformed URL (it doesn't start with a protocol). This suggests to me that you haven't thought about the natural question: what kind of server software is running on that server that will accept files?

How to execute a .sql file from a batch file

Now i want to execute my backup script bkp.sql automatically when it is connected to sql prompt.
(i tried with these lines in the above batch file...
call bkp.sql---it just opens the bkp.sql file in notepad & displays the script
start bkp.sql---same as call
connect / as sysdba/pwd@[email protected] --- does not work simply remains a the sql prompt.

I'll manage he time through windows utility of scheduling task.. Let me know how to execute the .sql file from a batch file.
Thanks
Tripti

Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

General question: How to execute a batch input using different user name?

Hi everyone,
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to execute a batch input from source code using a differente username so the batch input is executed with different permissions.
For example, I log on with:
Username: A
, but I'd like to execute a batch input using the rights and permissions of user B.
Thanks in advance and best regards.
Ben.

If you are calling the BDC in a program, create a job to run the program and specify the user you want each program to run under.

Executing a batch file (.bat) on a different PC

Hi,
Is it possible to execute a batch file on a different pc.
Look at the following piece of code.
import java.io.*;
public class StartRemoteCmd {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
          System.out.println("Starting remote Command");
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("\\\\Itop001\\Tomcat\\commons-net-1.0.0\\setclasspath.bat");
          if (p==null){
          System.out.println("Process is null");
          System.exit(1);
          System.out.println("Started remote Command");
The machine ITOP001 has this setclasspath.bat...which sets classpath and has a java CustPgm.
I want to start this CustPgm program on ITOp001 from my machine.
Is it possible..? Am I doing some mistake in the code..pls suggest.
Thanks guys

Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
System.out.println("Executing VocaliD check..");
cmd="C:\\JNI\\Elva\\debug\\plug.bat";
Runtime rn = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pc1 = rn.exec(cmd);
