How to execute a "real" VBS command in DIAdem script?

Hello,
I've some troubles to execute specific "real" VBS command lines in DIAdem script:
e.g.:
Workbooks.OpenText filname, DataType:=xlDelimited, tab:=True, DecimalSeparator:=",", ThousandsSeparator:="."
Using other writings as
Workbooks.OpenText(filname, DataType:=xlDelimited, tab:=True, DecimalSeparator:=",", ThousandsSeparator:=".")Workbooks.OpenText filname, "DataType:=xlDelimited", "tab:=True", "DecimalSeparator:=','", "ThousandsSeparator:='.'"
don't help, I always get error messages. It seams, that DIAdem has problems with recognition of := .
How can I include such kind of VBS command line in a DIAdem script without getting problems?

Hi,
thanks for answer, but unfortunately its not over yet.
I tryed the following possibilities:
Set create_tabfile = Excel.Workbooks.OpenText(Filename,,,xlDelimited,,,True,,,,,,,,".",",",,True)Set create_tabfile = Excel.Workbooks.OpenText(Filename,,,xlDelimited,,,1,,,,,,,,".",",",,1) Set create_tabfile = Excel.Workbooks.OpenText(Filename,,,"xlDelimited",,,True,,,,,,,,".",",",,True) Set create_tabfile = Excel.Workbooks.OpenText(Filename,,,"xlDelimited",,,1,,,,,,,,".",",",,1) Set create_tabfile = Excel.Workbooks.OpenText(Filename,,,1,,,True,,,,,,,,".",",",,True)Set create_tabfile = Excel.Workbooks.OpenText(Filename,,,1,,,1,,,,,,,,".",",",,1)but always I get some error messages. I assume, that there is just a format error in the command line, may you help me out with some hints, how to do it right?

How to execute some code in command line, and read its output?

I'v found here http://www.sap-advisor.com/abap-coding/how-to-execute-operating-system-commands-from-within-sap/ that I can execute commands from the windows command line for example inside SAP.
But I want to take it one step further and read its output. is it possible?

Hi RagnaRock,
one possible approach can be outputting the results of the command into a text file (i.e. "command >result.txt"), and then read this file from SAP/ABAP.
I hope this helps. Kind regards,

How to execute IDC services from command line

Hey Guys,
is there some way we can execute IDC Services from command prompt.
your any pointers will be highly appriciated.
regards,
sapan
Edited by: sapan on Mar 9, 2009 7:26 AM

Hey sapan,
You can use IdcCommand to execute services from the command line. The process is as follows:
1. Create a text file with the services calls you want to make, the definitions are in hda format:
@Properties LocalData
IdcService=UPDATE_DOCINFO
dID=1
dDocName=000001
dDocType=MyType
dSecurityGroup=Public
dRevLabel=1
dDocAuthor=sysadmin
dDocTitle=My Title
@end
<<EOD>>
(Note: for multiple entries in the file <<EOD>> is very important)
2. Execute IdcCommand from the <content server install>/bin directory:
IdcCommand -f image_update.hda -u sysadmin -l c:\idccommand.log
Options:
-f = file with service definitions
-u = user to run as
-l (lowercase L) = location for log of execution
More detailed documentation can be found in the Idc Command Reference (idc_command_reference_10en.pdf).
Hope that helps,

How to call a HP-UX command or shell script from Forms 4.5

Does anybody know how to call a unix command or shell script to get a files list of HP-UX server from Oracle Forms 4.5 on client side? I tried to use DBMS_PIPE package to get it done but I failed. Please let me have the solution if anybody knows how. Very urgent!

I tried the host command before and it just let me shell to the DOS environment but not HP-UX environment as Forms was running on Windows platform. So, I could not run a unix command or a shell script. Is DBMS_PIPE the only way to get it done?

How to execute more than one command in a Process

Hello all,
I would like to change the user in my application by
using the unix command su user and then execute some commands as this user.My code is the following, my problem is to execute other commands after execute the su command.
public static void main(String [] args)
try
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
String msg = "";
String emsg = "";
int len = 0;
byte buffer [] = new byte[100];
Process p1 = r.exec(new String [] "su","user"});
InputStream input = p1.getErrorStream();
len = input.read(buffer);
System.out.println(new String(buffer,0,len));
OutputStream out = p1.getOutputStream(); String password = "password";
out.write(password.getBytes());
out.flush();
out.close();
System.out.println(password);
p1.destroy();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e.toString());

For those of you who are "shell challenged", here's a Java program that will tell you how the shell interprets the command and argument you give it:
public class RuntimeHelper {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
 System.out.println(args);
When you run the program with
java RuntimeHelper su username -c "cmd arg1 arg2"
the output is:
su
username
-c
cmd arg1 arg2
Each line shows one argument that the shell passed to the java command.

How to execute a unix/dos command in Java

thanks in advance
Hugo Hendriks

hallo,
test this:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Your_Programm);
p.waitFor();
LineNumberReader lnr = new LineNumberReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
Your_Programm must be a shellscript. regard that your java programm must have the right to start the httpd!

How to execute FTP server put command!

Hi,
i am uploading a flatfile into the application server using FTP !
for that i had logged into the respective application server in CMD prompt and
enter the following statement ( OS : WINDOWS XP )
PUT filepath\filename
But i am not able to upload the file.
is it correct ? or am i missing something?
Thanks,

Hai Ravi,
 Follow these steps for setting up FTP on Windows XP
For any Windows workstation to be able to accept FTP connections, an FTP server must be installed and active.
Windows 2000 and XP
Setting up an FTP server in Windows XP Professional or in Windows 2000 involves the installation of Internet Information Services (IIS). This suite of Windows components handles all the functions formerly handled by NT's Peer Web Services. IIS, and consequently FTP server capability, is not included in Windows XP Home Edition.
Note: IIS is known to have serious security flaws and has been targeted by several computer viruses, including Code Red and Nimda. If you install IIS on your computer, UITS strongly advises that you also install any security update patches available from Microsoft. The appropriate patches for Windows 2000 are available at the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/critical/q300972/default.asp
Microsoft claims that Windows XP already blocks the viruses in question, but you should check frequently for any updates that may be released. See the following site for IIS updates:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/prodtechnol/iis/Default.asp
Installing IIS
For Windows XP Professional systems running in the default Start menu configuration, click Start, then Control Panel, then Add or Remove Programs. In Windows 2000 (or in XP if it is set to classic Start menu view), click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel, then double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Note: In Windows XP, the default desktop view and Start menu are quite different than they are in the Windows Classic View (e.g., in Windows 2000). Therefore, navigating to certain items may be different in XP; for example, the path from the Start menu to the Control Panel in the default XP view is simply Start, then Control Panel, whereas in the Classic View it is Start, then Settings, then Control Panel. In the interest of broad applicability, most instructions in the Knowledge Base assume that you are using the Classic View. There are several steps you can take to switch from the Windows XP default view to the Windows Classic View. For more information, see the Knowledge Base document In Windows XP, how do I switch to the Windows Classic View, Classic theme, or Classic Control Panel?
Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
Double-click Internet Information Services. This will open another window listing the IIS subcomponents.
Check the box next to File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server. The Common Files and Internet Information Services Snap-In boxes will also check by default. Make sure no other boxes are checked, then click OK.
Note: Windows may prompt you for your Windows CD at this point.
Configuring the FTP Server
On the desktop, double-click My Computer, then double-click the hard drive on which you have Windows installed.
Open the folder inetpub. Right-click the ftproot folder and select Properties.
Click the Sharing tab. Select the radio button Share this folder, then click Permissions. From the list that appears, select Everyone, and then click Remove.
Click the Add... button. In the drop-down list, select your computer's name. In the list of user groups that appears in the center scroll box, select Users, then click Add, followed by OK. In the Permissions window, set the access level. If a user only needs to download files from your computer, set the access to Read. To give upload permission, also check Change. Click OK.
Create User accounts for each of the individuals who will need to access your server. You can do so by opening the Control Panel, then double-clicking the Users and Passwords icon. For each user, you will need to provide a username and domain.
In the main Control Panel window, double-click Administrative Tools, then double-click the Computer Management icon. A new window will open. On the left, beside Services and Applications, click the + (plus sign), and then click the + (plus sign) beside Internet Information Services.
Right-click Default FTP server and select Properties. Under "Services", make sure that Allow anonymous connections is not checked. This will prevent unauthorized access to your workstation. Click OK, then close all windows.
After that,
Go to cmd.
type >ftp
 >open
 >to hostname or ipaddr
 >give uid & pwd
 >put sourceFilename targetFilename
I hope it will be useful for u..
Thanks & Regards,

To anyone that reached this post and still dont have a hint, try this small sample - it logs on CVS using installed CVSNT and execute a fake update:
package testeCVS;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
public class execCMD
    String password="yourPassword";
    String directory="C:\\CVS\\yourPathToProject";
    //send commands to CVS and shows the resulting screen
    public int sendCMD(String[] command) throws IOException, InterruptedException
        ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
        pb.directory(new File(directory));
        pb.redirectErrorStream(true); // merge stdout and stderr
        Process p = pb.start();
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream());
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
        String lineRead;
        StringBuilder buffer=new StringBuilder();
        System.out.println("Return of shell:");
        while ((lineRead = br.readLine()) != null)
            buffer.append(lineRead + "\n");
        System.out.println(buffer.toString());
        return p.waitFor();
    //send commands to CVS, send the password after the prompt and show the resulting screen
    public int sendDialogCMD(String[] command) throws IOException, InterruptedException
        ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
        pb.directory(new File(directory));
        pb.redirectErrorStream(true); // merge stdout and stderr
        Process p = pb.start();
        PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter( new OutputStreamWriter( p.getOutputStream() ));
        writer.println( password );
        writer.flush();
        InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream());
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
        String lineRead;
        StringBuilder buffer=new StringBuilder();
        System.out.println("Return of shell:");
        while ((lineRead = br.readLine()) != null)
            buffer.append(lineRead + "\n");
        System.out.println(buffer.toString());
        return p.waitFor();
    public static void main(String a[]) throws IOException, InterruptedException
        execCMD e=new execCMD();
        String[] command = new String[5];
        command[0] = "cvs";
        command[1] = "-q";
        command[2] = "-d";
        command[3] = ":pserver:yourUserID@localhost:2402/path/of/yourProject"; //in this case using CVS port 2402
        command[4] = "login";
        System.out.println("exit value=" + e.sendDialogCMD(command));
        command = new String[8];
        command[0] = "cvs";
        command[1] = "-q";
        command[2] = "-d";
        command[3] = ":pserver:yourUserID@localhost:2402/path/of/yourProject";
        command[4] = "-n";
        command[5] = "-q";
        command[6] = "update";
        command[7] = "-dA";
        System.out.println("exit value=" + e.sendCMD(command));
}It is possible to send the password on the same command, but I had problems when the password had the character '@' because CVSNT took it as the separator between the username and server name. In that case the command is: ":pserver:yourUserID:yourPassword@localhost:2402/path/of/yourProject"
