How To Run Process In Background?

Hi,
I'm writing a CORBA Server, and basically, I need to spawn a process in the background. The process is:
tnameserv -ORBInitialPort 1250
I am new to Java, and am not sure how to go about doing this. Any sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks!

You could use a TimerTask - a user friendly way of spawning a Thread.
For example, the class from which you want to spawn a Thread could have the following lines: -
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new MyTimerTask(), 6000, 3000);
...where MyTimerTask is a class you write yourself. It must extend java.util.TimerTask and define a method with the following signature: -
public void run()
The run method should execute the task that you need performing in the separate Thread.
In this example, your main class would call the run() method of MyTimerTask after a delay of 10 minutes (6000 miliis) and would then continue to call it every 5 minutes.
Hope this helps!

Hi
It has been a while since you asked your question- I hope you still need the solution. Java typically does not support this because it is platform specific. I don't know what operating system you are working on. I assume Windows. There are numerous ways to do this in Windows. The easiest is to copy the program into the startup folder. The directory is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Another way, less visible to the user, is to make an entry in the registry. If you place the location of the program as data in a key in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current\Version\Run of the registry, it will start with the system. This is hard to do in Java (for obvious reasons) however it is not impossible. You can use JNI which is really difficult to learn and hard to implement or you can use
Process p=Runtime.getRunTime().exec({"reg.exe","add HKLM..."});This will execute the Windows utility reg.exe with the arguments provided by the second in the array of Strings. Documentation on reg.exe can be found through the command prompt. There are other ways such as modifying Autoexec.bat however they are less reliable
Hope I helped

How to run process flow outside owner project?

Hi,
I have two process flows (process_flow_A and process_flow_B) in two different projects (projectA, projectB). Process_flow_A has to be run after process_flow_B is finished. So what I am thinking now is either put process_flow_A in Project B or put process_flow_B in project A. But how to see process flows which are not in it's owner project? Or is there any other ways to do this task?
thanks.

It can be done - in a round about way.
You can call a SQLPlus operator. The operator will call sqlplus_exec_template.sql. You can use this script to call your other process flow in the other project.
..owb_home/owb/rtp/sql/sqlplus_exec_template.sql
If you open up the .sql file, you will see examples of how to use it to call mappings, process flows, etc.
Hope this helps..

How to run process chains

hi,

thanks
sudhakar

hi,
open your process chain -> right click on start process -> select maintain varient -> select direct scheduling -> goto change selections tab -> select date/time give from when you want to run for eg from today 3.00 PM means in date tab give todays date and in time tab give the time info. in bottom select periodic jobs check box and click on periodic values tab -> here select daily check and save again check and save again save. now you schedule your job at 3.00PM from today, now you need to release this job, after this settings come to your process chain click on clock symbol to activate and schedule your process chain. so this chain will run at specified time, you can check this in SM37 by giving your user name and released job as job status.

time.
Please tell me the way of setting process chain.
Thanks.

Hi,
(1) Create an event in the BW system
Define a system event (for example SAP_BW_TRIGGER) with Transaction SM62. Lets says it is "EVENTX". Use this even in the Process chain and execute the process chain as repeative job.
(2) Use the below lines of code in the program for calling a Fucntion which trigeres the event created above . Here in this program you will call the the Below FM if and only id the sy-datum is 20 th or 2nd of the month ( as mentioned by our friend suggested).
call function 'BP_EVENT_RAISE'
exporting
eventid = EVENTX
exceptions
bad_eventid = 1
eventid_does_not_exist = 2
eventid_missing = 3
raise_failed = 4
others = 5.
endfunction.

How to run InDesign in background?

I mean to make InDesign application invisible while processing my script?

Which might be a reason to find a different method than indesign.
This kind of Policy produces 2 things:
First: They push Mediumsized companys to work illigal or not with indesign at all if they have some special needs which will be only legal by an indesign server.
Second: They prohibit some external Developments or releases because it would be illigal tu use it.
Theres no way to start indesign in Background with its own api (this is not 100% for shure but 95% :-)
It might be Possible but not by VBA or Java, there are some workarounds with VB and c++ but this is a complete different animal.
However maybe it would be legal using somekind of passive server. Means a timejob on one Computer working a set of data in some directory or Database down. It would not be a real server since the jobs starting itself on the Workstation and not by command from another application.
Or Make a script which runs in a loop with a time break. In case 1 you have to make your own Atomic.
But im really not shure how legal that would be. Anyway how legal the split client and Server in the policies by adobe is another animal too.
Its hard to determine whats a server whats not in many cases.
lets say you send the data directly to an automated workstation to work on it - is it an Server?
if the workstation needs a pressing button thing is it or not? In that case you can use a macro keyboard to do this - is it then a server ?
again i dont not understand this policies since you cannot start a multhithread on indesing workstation anyway it would be unuseable for real server applications. you cannot make a hing like a webservice because its simply to slow and unstable.
didnt solve our problems but to be honest, im shure bevore a customer with lets say 8 or 9 employes buys a server for 30k he will work illigal (so are back to my beginning post)
The Question is if indesign is really needed. today i see many prints going out by pdf... so there could be easier ways
take a look on some report generators like crystal reports. for many needs absoloutly enough

How to run report in background, save output to word or excel

Hello all,
I have a huge report that needs to be run in background and I need the report in word. When running in Dialog it takes too long and SAP times out. How do you get something to run in background and have the output in excel. I know you can go into SM37, find the spool and then forward the spool request to a local file, is there an easier way to do it? Maybe setting up some kind of to text printer since the background job always asks for the output printer. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,

How to run process tasks in Xellerate User form sequentially

I have 2 tasks in the process definition of Xellerate User. One triggers on change in department and the other triggers on manager change. I want the manager task to trigger first and then the department task to run after the values have been updated in the former task. It so happens that always department task is getting triggered first.
I cannot have task dependency in Xellerate User form. I tried setting the response code in the manager task and have it generate department task. In this case the department task is triggered twice. First time it runs before the manager task. The second time since it is a task to run in the response code of manager task.
How to make each task run once and have it done sequentially?

Yes that was my first instinct but I need the old and new values of department and manager. That is possible when I make it a process task.
Heres what I want to do-
If there is a change in department of a user, send mail to manager with old and new department values.
If there is a change in manager when department changes, send mail to old and new manager with old and new department values.

How to run RPUBEN62 in background

We designed our savings plan as an automatic plan and the business process is to have HR run HRBEN0012 to enroll hires every Monday morning. However, our HR do not want to run this manual process.
We tried to put RPUBEN62 on background job, but failed because it performs the 'Call screen 2000.' command in the END-OFSELECTION event in include BEN62E01, and this command causes the program to stop processing and the SAP GUI window is closed.
We contacted SAP support and was told that RPUBEN62 is designed to run foreground, and we just started contacting SAP to see whether we can convince them to offer background run option.
Any suggestion? We do not want to clone the program if possible.
Thanks.

Sorry was searching for something else and seen this post, kinda old.
We created a custom copy of RPUBEN62, and run on a daily basis in the background. It is possible and saves some work for HR by automatically creating the standard plans for all new employees.

How to run threads in background

hi everyone!
I need some hints on my problem!
I have an application with some working threads. When the user minimizes the app the app should go to the system tray and the threads should keep working.
I already know how to put an icon with popup menu in the systray. Now, how can I run the working threads in background?
Can anybody help me?
C u,
Filipe

I said that because as far I understood the following code it just creates an icon and popup menu, right?
So, when the user minimizes the app I need to kill it, create the icon and popup menu and leave the threads working.
public class SystemTrayDemo extends JFrame
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     public SystemTrayDemo()
          JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu("Menu");
          JMenuItem menuItem1 = new JMenuItem("Menu1");
          JMenuItem menuItem2 = new JMenuItem("Menu2");
          JMenuItem menuItem3 = new JMenuItem("Menu3");
          JMenuItem menuItem4 = new JMenuItem("Exit");
          menu.add(menuItem1);
          menu.add(menuItem2);
          menu.add(menuItem3);
          menu.add(menuItem4);
          menuItem4.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                    System.exit(0);
          ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("database.png");
          TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(icon, "Hello System Tray", menu);
          SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getDefaultSystemTray();
          tray.addTrayIcon(trayIcon);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          try
               javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing. plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e);
          new SystemTrayDemo();
