How to install applications to remote machines in silent mode?

Hi All,
I have the following question and I hope to find a creative solution.
My application’s architecture is a client server one.
I would like the server to remotely connect to its clients machines and silently install a client java application for 2 purposes:
1.     Install new clients on computers that weren’t part of the deployment yet. When the server connects to a new clients he needs send the installation file and execute it
2.     Updated existed clients (replace jars, configuration files, etc)
My main goal is to do everything in silent mode (without requiring the users to connect the clients and actively install clients application).
Can any of you think of a Java solution for this? I think the first purpose if the harder one so in case I ask my users to install the clients for the first time, how do I silently upgrade their applications when needed?
Tnx,
Uri

Yes, but when you have 1000 clients it is a lot of work.
I would like to have the upgrade process to be done silently. It is this 'silent' requirement that is suspect. Anything silently installing something is dangerous. Are you one of these people who has Windows automatic updates turned on?
Personally, I am not. but it is good to have the option.

Can webstart run in silent mode? I'm pretty sure it can but I can't be certain and I don't know how to do it since I won't ever use silent upgrades. Read the Webstart documentation.
I can have the server making the client application invoking the URL for the new files (so the user will not have to connect to every client machine and invoke the URL), but how do I do the rest in silent mode?
btw- I can use PsExec to run the installation on new clients (windows only). My main issue now is how to upgrade silently. If you have other ideas than webstart I will be happy to hear.

  • How to install on a remote machine

    Hi,
    I want to install 9i on a remote Solaris machine. I have telnet
    access to the system. Can I install 9i over a telnet session ?.
    Should I install exceed perhaps ?. Would it make it easier ?.
    Are there any settings xhost, xterm etc to be set ?
    Thanks for any help.
    Vissu

    To the best of my knowledge, you will have to have remote x-
    windows capability to install 9i.
    I have done this several times for 8 and 8i and it has worked
    just fine. I nfs mount the cdrom from my workstation to the host
    I'm installing Oracle on, establish the DISPLAY environment so
    the host can throw windows back to my workstation, and execute
    the xhost command so it can work.
    Caveat: my workstation is a Sun Solaris machine. I have no idea
    if you can do this from a Windows machine running Reflection.

  • How to recognize if application is installed using "Install Application on Remote Desktop" option on Windows Server 2008 R2

    How to recognize if application is installed using "Install application on remote desktop..." option in Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 R2?
    Basically, as administrator, I can't say if the user installed application using "Install application on remote desktop..." in Control Panel or he just installed it by clicking the .msi executable. I can't find anything that makes any difference.
    I could not find anything in the registry. I am quite confused.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Please make sure that you are using category view of control panel-programs to check the application. And in addition to “install application on Remote Desktop server” user can also use command line also.
    change user /install
    change user /execute
    change user /query
    “The first time you run the application, it searches the home directory for its .ini files. If the .ini files are not found in the home directory, but are found in the system directory, Terminal Services copies the .ini files to the home directory, ensuring
    that each user has a unique copy of the application .ini files. Each user should have a unique copy of the .ini files for an application. This prevents instances where different users might have incompatible application configurations.” (Quoted formthis
    article).
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Its strange that no one turned with any answers. Anyhow, the issue has mostly been resolved. There are some file names which were getting modified in windows and not in MAC system.
    Just in case anyone facing the same issue please check the file name of the resources you added.
    Hope it will help out someone.

  • How to start/stop/restart a java desktop application from remote machine

    Hi,
    I want to know is there a way in java where i can start/stop/restart a java desktop application running on a remote machine through another java desktop application?
    For e.g i have an Admin console which monitors its clients based on socket communication, all of them are java desktop applications. I want to also give start/stop remote clients through my Admin console.
    I am thinking in terms of windows system service which can start/restart/stop my clients on request of Admin console, but how can i call this system service remotely?
    How can i do it?

    I got it. its about connection...

  • How can I run aqua applications on remote machine

    Hi, I would like to know how to run an aqua application on a remote mac, but display the result on the local machine. I can easily do that for X applications under Unix through ssh, but I don't know what is the equivalent for aqua. Since the remote machine is much faster than my local one, I don't want to just mont the remote disk, since in this way I'll be running on my slow local resources.
    Thanks

    To the best of my knowledge, Screen Sharing is your only option.
    Screen Sharing is Apple's dressed up VNC.  When going Mac to Mac it is rather good.  When mixing 3rd party VNC clients or servers with Apple's Screen Sharing components, you performance may vary.

  • Checking for running applications on remote machines

    I am trying to check for application running on remote machine - it could be LV or some other application.
    I have Server and Client applications (developed in LV) running as .exe on separate computers. Only LV-Runtime is installed. They exchange data via Datasockets. The problem I have is that if Client is launched before the server the (Client) takes ownership of certain sockets which causes Server to fail on startup. All the remote Clients have to be shotdown before Server can be started again properly.
    I was wondering if anyone has run into a similar problem.

    Hi Slawek,
    I would suggest using Remote Front Panels in LabVIEW. Remote front panels allow you to view and control a VI front panel remotely, either from within LabVIEW or from within a web browser, by connecting to the LabVIEW built-in web server. There is a tutorial Developer Zone: Remote Panels in LabVIEW -- Distributed Application Development that will provide you with more information.
    Also, there are example programs in LabVIEW that walk you through how to programmatically connect to a remote front panel. Go to LabVIEW >> Help >> Find Examples >> Networking >> General >> RemotePanelMethods-Client/Server.vi.
    Hope
    this helps and good luck!

  • How to read file from remote machine

    Hello,
    Hi, i would like to know how to read text file from remote machine using java source code, any code ?
    Thanks very much;
    Best regards
    Kim

    On the server, perform the following steps:
    Parse the request and determine the file to serve
    Open a FileInputStream to the appropriate file
    Obtain a reference to the Servlet OutputStream
    Pipe the bytes from the file to the output stream
    Flush and close the streamYou might want to call HttpServletResponse.setContentType("application/octet") to indicate to the browser that a file download will be occurring. Do so before getting the reference to the Servlet's OutputStream.

  • How to move application from one machine to another..??

    Hi All,
    I have developed a application which I want to move it to a server, but when I use export i am getting XYZ.sql. And i tried to import it on server but I am getting some Schema errors.
    Please can anybody help me to move my application to other machine with DATABASE structure and Schema.
    Is there anyway to covert my application into a installable, as we install Sample Applications which brings Database tables and schema on to our system when we install it.
    Thanks Lot
    Yogesh

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if your situation is the same as mine but here is how I move my application between computers.
    Comp1: @WORK
    Comp2: @HOME
    1. Export the database on comp1:
    At command prompt type: exp system/password file=db.dmp full=Y
    2. Export the application on comp1:
    From inside ApEx go into your application, select Import/Export and export the following:
    - Application (i use file format DOS, owner override is the application owner and Run and Build Application)
    - CSS (export all css files)
    - Images (export the image files)
    3. Create a user in comp2 to receive the application:
    Log into ApEx as SYSTEM and create a user with full privileges (I use the same username on comp1 and comp2)
    Note: If the user already exists in comp2 I will delete (including all applications) and re-create (basically to start fresh)
    4. Import the database on comp2:
    At command prompt type: imp system/password file=db.dmp fromuser=MYUSER touser=MYUSER
    Note: MYUSER is the user you have created in step3, therefore only database objects from the export file for that user will be imported.
    (Now all my tables, packages, procedures, triggers etc are in the database).
    5. Import the application on comp2:
    Log into ApEx as MYUSER. Go into applications and select Import/Export and import the 3 files that were exported earlier
    At this point everything for me is working.
    BTW - I'm using the same version of XE on both machines.
    Hope this helps.
    Richard.

  • How to install applications on the 8700c

    I am new to Blackberry, just started using a 8700c.  I found numerous applications I would like to try, but cannot figure out how to install them.  I loaded app world on my device, but I get a message that says App. World is not available on devices with track wheels.  How do I install apps from App World that are listed as compatible with this model?  I did not find any way of downloading the app to my PC so I could use the app loaded in the desktop manager.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Unfortunately the App World won't work on devices with a traackwheel. Do you have a BlackBerry data plan? I so most apps can be downloaded OTA from thieir respectivr websites.

  • How to Install Application Server Control on top of AS J2EE Installation.

    Hi,
    I just installed AS 10g 10.1.2, upgraded it to 10.1.2.3 and applied Jul2008 CPU.
    It was initially a simple J2EE install (with only J2EE and OC4J).
    It seems there is no EM Application Server Control component since all attempts below failed:
    http://host.domain:1156
    http://host.domain:1156/em
    http://IP:1156/
    http://IP:1156/em
    portlist.ini
    Oracle Management Agent Port = 1157
    Application Server Control RMI port = 1850
    Application Server Control port = 1156
    I am accessing the system (unix servers, etc) via vpn.
    Question:
    1) How do I verify if Application server control is installed or not installed.
    2) How do I install Application server control if the component has not been installed
    on top of AS 10.1.2.3 (base 10.1.2 install with 10.1.2.3 upgrade Jul2008 cpu)
    Thanks.
    Our intent is to use Application Server Control to access Workflow manager
    Tried

    AS Control gets installed with every install type so it should be there. Refer this for details:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/tools.htm#sthref110
    If http://host.domain:1156 doesn't work, AS Control might not be up. Start it using "$OH/bin/emctl start iasconsole". Refer below (mainly point #3 below) for details on what and how to start a mid-tier instance:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/tools.htm#sthref110
