How to get name of batch file/shell script that starts program?

I don't think there's a way to do it, but I'm asking the question anyway...
of course, the startup script could pass its name as a parameter to the Java program, but I was wondering if the information could be determined "directly," via Java code. The idea is to allow your Java program to modify the startup configuration specified by your startup shell script.
For example, a "startup configuration" menu item would pop up a dialog box that would display- and allow you to change- the startup parameters, and then let you write the changes back to the script file.

There are always some ways to do things.
I guess for your case, you need to go through JNI and have a native program to back track the Process ID of who started who. Never done that but I guess should work.
But a more natural way to do this is to have your startup configuration stored in an xml file or a properties file inside your classpath.

Ways to run a shell script that starts a python script

I have a shell script that is used to launch a python (2.5.1 installed via Fink) script (IDLE). The shell script, the IDLE script, and the python binary are all in /sw/bin as usual. This all has to be done AFTER X11 has been launched. I have to make this easy for my students to use.
In each account's home .xinitrc file, I have the lines
source .profile
vpython2.5 *
and this works, but it calls the vpython2.5 script every time X11 is launched. I've tried adding the vpython2.5 command to the X11 Applications menu, but this works ONLY if I add /sw/bin to the script name. Apparently the menu doesn't "know" about the current PATH setting. The keyboard shortcut I put in the menu neither shows up nor works either. So much for that option.
Now I've discovered Platypus and it looked promising, but I'm obiously not using it correctly and from the documentation, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
So here's the ultimate question. Is there a way to use Platypus to encapsulate the vpython2.5 script, preferably also starting up X11, so students will only have to click on the new app's icon? This is how OpenOffice.org starts up. It seemed simple enough to do in Platypus, but I never saw the IDLE window open up.

I added a shortcut key "j" for the "xman" app in X11, and it seems to work fine. Did you press the command key with the shortcut key? Are you sure the shortcut key you selected does not overlap with others in the menubar?
There should be no problems creating an application with Platypus using a shell script. In my experience, you have to source all necessary files, assuming that the shell script does not recognize your terminal settings. You can also launch X11.app in the shell script with the following command:
command open -a X11
It is a good idea to pause the shell script until X11 finishes launching. To do this, you need a command like,
command sleep 5
Otherwise, if you try to start X11-dependent apps in the shell script while X11 is launching, it will fail. There may be better ways to do this.
Hope this helps.

How to get name of the slicer via script

Hi Gurus,
I was wondering if we could get the name of the slicer added in IR Query section, via script ??
That is, I have a bqy connecting to Essbase OLAP.
Now I am adding a slicer in OLAP Section via script.
For Ex : ActiveDocument.Sections["Query2"].Slicers.Add('Market.Gen3,Market' , 'Market.LA')
Now,for some reason, I wanted to retrieve the name of the slicer I added and assign it to a variable. Is this possible ?? I couldn't see any option for this. Please help me out if any one has done this before ?
Thank You,
Aji

Sethil,
Use your date(let us say Date1) instead of sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_NAMES_GET'
EXPORTING
LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU
IMPORTING
RETURN_CODE =
TABLES
MONTH_NAMES = itab_month
EXCEPTIONS
MONTH_NAMES_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
READ TABLE itab_month
WITH KEY MNR = date1+4(2).
itab_month-LTX will contain the value you are looking for
Good luck

Sharepoint Workflow : how to get document full path + file name into variable?

Hi,
Anybody knows how to get document full path + file name into a variable in Sharepoint 2010 workflow?
Example http://sp1:80/InvoiceQueue/Shared Documents/123.pdf
I am using List Workflow which links to a document library.

Hi SAMSUNG,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

How to get InputStream of uploaded file from request?

The situation:
Client is uploading xml file to server.
<form METHOD=POST ENCTYPE = "multipart/form-data" action="SendFile" accept="text/xml">
<input type="file" name="SentFile" />
<input type="submit" value="go"/>
</form>Then I need to parse data from file.
I want to use method javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(InputStream is)
But, how to get InputStream of uploaded file from request?

You cannot get the InputStream of the uploaded file directly. The InputStream you can obtain from request.getInputStream() contains a lot of other data as well as the uploaded file. You will have to parse the data in the InputStream to find the data that belongs to the file.
A short cut is to use the HTTP Multipart File Upload available from www.jenkov.com. It simplifies file upload and makes it easy to obtain an InputStream for only the uploaded file. It also handles upload of multiple files. It is free, open source, Apache license, so if it doesn't fit your needs, you can always read the code and see how it works. Then write your own upload servlet.

How to get names of method parameters ?

How to get names of method parameters (Not only their type and value) is it only possible during debugging ??
for example void myFunction(int a,int b)
I need the "a" , and the "b" The issiue is about the java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler ,
and its method invoke(Object proxy,
Method method,
Object[] args)
throws Throwable
I Have the parameter objects themself and their types using method.getParameters() , this is fine ,, but i need the names of the parameters !!!

If the class file was compiled without debug information included then it is impossible to get the original parameter names, as used in the source code.
However, If the class file does include debug information, then the method names are hidden deep within the class file. You'd need to parse the class file yourself. Check out a copy of the Java VM Specification for a detailed format of the java class file format.
It's not a trivial task to parse the java class file, and the VM spec isn't easy reading. You'd nearly be writing a class file disassembler.

Assuming that you don't want to actually do this from within Java code (which would obviously require native code), here's a utility that will give you a list of which file handles are opened by which processes (on Windows):

[Win VC++ 6.0 ]How to get the number of files count in a folder using VC++ 6.0?

Hi all,
Can any one tell how to get the number of files(.EPS) count inside a folder when the folder path is specified in VC++ 6.0?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
myriaz

I'm a little confused by the question, but it sounds like you're asking how to count the number of files with a particular extension in a given directory? That's not really an AI SDK question, but it's a fairly easy one to find if you google it. If you're trying to use Illustrator to do it, AI doesn't have a general purpose file API. It has a few functions to do some things that Illustrator needs, but I don't think enumerating directories is one of them.

[JS][CS3]how to get refrence for source file

Hi All
I am new and learning javascript Gradually Could any one help on this as i do have a code for load style but don't know how to get refrence for "source file" and "targetDoc"
targetDoc.importStyles(charImport, sourceFile, clashPolicy);
targetDoc.importStyles(paraImport, sourceFile, clashPolicy);
Can any one figure it out
Many Thanks

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, could you please elaborate?
Do you want to load all the styles from one document into all 100 documents, or do you want all the styles from the 100 documents into 1 document or what is the goal?
The following will let you choose a folder of files, open each of the files in it and import the styles from source document. It is not a complete script, make sure to test and modify before running on anything else than test files :-)
var MyFolderWithFiles = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a folder");
var sourceFile = File.openDialog("Choose the styles source");
var myFiles = MyFolderWithFiles.getFiles("*.indd");
for(i = 0; i < myFiles.length; i++) {
    theFile = myFiles[i];
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    var targetDoc = app.open(theFile, true);
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
    targetDoc.importStyles(ImportFormat.CHARACTER_STYLES_FORMAT, sourceFile, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
    targetDoc.importStyles(ImportFormat.PARAGRAPH_STYLES_FORMAT, sourceFile, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
    targetDoc.close(SaveOptions.YES);

How we can create the batch file to download the data in from URL in ssis

hi,
any one help on one the below requirement.
i have to create one batch file to download the report(reports is in csv format) from URL...
requirement should be like this...
1. we have some reports is there in the URL..
2.when ever we execute the url, the report should be download and save it to the local folder.
3. this requirement i have to write in the batch file
should any one let me know how we can create the batch file for the above requirement.

Hi Priya.N,
If you use SQL Server Reporting Services for reporting, you can use Visakh’s suggestion to create a script file which calls Reporting Services Web Service to render a report in CSV format and save a batch file to the destination folder, and then create a
batch file to run the rs.exe utility which can executes the .rss script file. For more information, please see:
Report Server Web Service
ReportExecutionService.Render Method
rs Utility (rs.exe) (SSRS)
If you use other reporting tools, it depends on the reporting functionality and this requirement may be not achieved.

How to get name of sbRIO programatically

How to get "name" and "Comment" of sbRIO which I write to sbRIO-9602 in MAX in Identification box (Model, Serial number, MAC address, Name)?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That shows:
- IP settings
- IP adress:   136...etc.
  - DNS name:   MyMaster5 - THAT IS WHAT I NEED, just in wrong place - in MAX it is not in IP settings, that's why i didn't searched for it there.
  - subnet mask 255.255.255.0
  - gateway 136...
  - DNS server 136...
- MAC address 00800...
- serial number 16....
- system state Running
- model name sbRIO-9602
- model code 7373
- password protected restarts? T/F
- halt if TCP/IP fails? T/F
- locked?   T/F
- use DHCP? T/F
Still there is no "comment" as in MAX. But that's not so important now.
I have LW Development system 2009 SP1 Profesional, Realtime Development 2009 SP1
Thanks very much!

How to get name of table from front end

Hi,
How to get name of table from front end in EBS 11i?
thanx
Ashish

Hi
Sandeep is correct. The "Help"/"Record History" will give you the table/view name, but sometimes this particular menu function give me a "Record History is not available here." error message.
I then use the following menu functions (this will also give you additional information, like column details).
1) Open Forms
2) Click on Help/Diagnostics/Examine (*you might have to enter the APPS password at this point)
3) Change "Block" to "System"
4) Change "Field" to "Last_query"
The system will populate the "Value" field with the query that was executed in order to populate the form.
