How to tell if application is hanging or still working?

I occasionally ask photoshop to do very large jobs such as joining many images into panoramas. This can take a very long time, and sometimes Photoshop will show as 'not responding' in red on the activity monitor or force quit window, and will hang until force-quit; sometimes it will show red but then 'come out of it' and complete the requested task. To save time waiting to see if it will snap out of it or not, I'd like to know if there is any way to tell whether the program is really crashed or is just working at the limit of the computer's capacity and will eventually complete the task.
One person suggested I use a sudo fs_usage command in terminal to see if photoshop is working, but didn't say what I would expect to see if it is irreversibly hanging.
Any suggestions?

It was using a lot of cpu in activity monitor, but the progress bar had not changed for 20 minutes (put a post-it on the screen to mark the spot).
That may simply mean that a lot of CPU is going on and the progress bar may only show HD activity. This sometimes happens with programs and apps. If you open force quit it will say they are "not responding" but in fact they are simply very busy and apear "dead."
What does the
top
command do?
From the terminal man top command
top - display and update sorted information about processes
It's easier to see than explain
Open a terminal and enter
top
and watch.
Use Ctl-c to terminate it.

How many Airport Expresses can you link and still work properly

How many Airiport Expresses can you link and still work properly.

It would depend on whether all of these base stations will be interconnected by Ethernet or by wireless and what your goal is with them.
In a roaming network, where all base stations would be connected by Ethernet, you could have 10+ base stations. Apple has never (at least to me) any limits on the number of base stations that can be used in this type of network.
In an extended network, where all of the base stations use wireless connections, the practical limit would be 4 or 5 base stations.

How to tell if application is running?

In Tiger, an open application would show on the Dock with a small arrow pointing at it. In Leopard, I don't see that. How can you tell which applications on your Dock are currently running?

Tiger's arrows have been replaced with little glowing blue lights. If you can't see them you might need to adjust your screen geometry.

How do we do sales in MX while still working under US Set of books?

Hi,
We are on 11.5.10.2. We have following requirement and need your inputs. Unfortunately it involves customization and we are open to it. Please suggest.
We have sales happening in US and Mexico (MX). Current implementation has just 1 Set of Books defined and it is US-SOB. There are 2 Legal entities viz. US-LE & MX-LE. US caters to large number of customers and there are various channels for receiving those orders into our ERP. MX has very few customers and MX orders are created manually using US responsibilities. Picking/Shipping/invoicing documentation etc is generated in 3rd party systems and goods are shipped from MX. Mexico then charges the US entity as Internal customer and Intercompany AR is raised by MX to recover the manufacturing cost. This AR invoice is manually posted to MX-LE.
Business has now decided to up the sales in MX and cannot rely on the manual order creation, documentation process. They are quite familiar with the Sales cycle followed for US orders and want to create similar process for MX without creating a new SOB & Operating Unit! They want to use the US OM responsibilities to create MX orders manually. There are lot of 3rd party systems involved and environment is heavily customized. So, creation of new SOB would impact those systems and it will be a big project to roll out new SOB in Oracle and in those systems. So this option is ruled out.
There is a criteria to identify MX orders (based on ship-to, bill-to). We are now looking for a custom solution which will help us process the MX orders, create the AR invoice and then strip the MX sales data from the US-SOB at the end of month. Can we define new order type(s) for MX orders and associate an AR transaction type to the new order type(s) that has MX Revenue & COGS a/c on it? We want to capture the sales happening in MX separately and generate our own AR invoices. The 1st segment of the accounting structure is Company which identifies whether it's US or MX.
Any suggestion in this regard will be helpful for us to start with.
Thanks!

the most transparent way would be to set up an ipsec vpn allowing secure access to your ny system, in effect you would be giving her direct accesss to your lan
doing this properly requires some work
at your ny site i'd use a router to support inbound vpn connection as well as your general internet access and firewalling (if your existing router cannot do this you'll need a new one)
at the remote end, the mac has built-in vpn support, so as long as a compatible vpn router is used then it is straightforward
an additional benefit of this approach is that you would all be able to use the same vpn to get remote access to your ny network when travelling/at home etc.
a device like this... http://www.netgear.com/Products/VPNandSSL/WiredVPNFirewallRouters/FVS318.aspx
...might be suitable, but if you are not comfortable doing it in-house i strongly recommend discussing requirements in detail with a competent systems integrator, getting things wrong could compromise your security
as a short term solution to the file type changing on upload/download, if you use zip (or stuffit) to create a .zip (or .sit) archive of the files, then upload the archive, when you download and unzip i think the file type will be preserved

How to create Automator application?

I cannot figure out how to create an application in Automator that actually works.
What I have is a workflow that combines PDFs.   As a workflow it works well.
I would like to create an application that does the same thing.   First I tried saving the workflow as an application.   I duplicated the workflow and saved it as an application. Later I started at the beginning by creating a new application and building it up with the same actions that are in the workflow.
With both techniques I got an "application" that sits on my hard drive.   The OS describes it as an application. But, when I click on the icon, the icon blinks as if an application is opening. But then nothing happens.   The computer remains in Finder.   The Automator "application" does nothing.
I must be missing something. How do I create an Automator application that opens?

It won't. It runs the task in the background.
My suggestion is to create two folders
PDF Files
Merged PDF Files
Tell the workflow to merge PDFs found in PDF Files and place the merged PDFs into Merged PDF Files.
Then dump a bunch of PDFs into the first folder. Click the application. Then check the second folder. You should see them all merged into one there.

How to block p2p applications(Bittorent like) with AIP-SSM-10?

There are several signatures that detect p2p, for bit torrent there is 11020.0
Yahoo triggers: 5539.0, 11200.0, 11212.0, 11217.0 & 11219.0
etc..
Some are disabled by default though so please ensure you enable the ones that you need.
If you want to block these then you will have to use event actions that work in promiscuous setup for example request block connection and tcp reset. Please note that care must be taken when using these event actions.

Application hanging after commit issued, how to tell why?

Hi All,
We're using adf bc, jsp's and jdev 10.1.2.
The scenario is this.. I have 2 views based on the same entity(called Milk). One view is the control view Milk i.e. straightforward select, no where clause. The other one is based on a join with another entity (Area), which uses where clause parameters to output a row of Milk for every entry on the Area entity. So basically for every area there is, a milk row will be output even if that row does not exist on the milk table.
So my problem was when the user edited and saved a row which didn't actually exist on the database, the program would hang. Editing of rows that do exist pose no problem at all. So then I thought maybe I should create these rows first so that they would physically exist on the database before the edit. Still to no avail..
If it's just one row created or many rows, once the commit is issued, the application hangs. I've debugged it and nothing happens once it executes the commit line, there are no error messages, it just never progresses past this line.
I've tested with the App Module tester and I can create rows here fine. Obvisouly something is wrong or it wouldn't be happening. How can I tell why it's hanging? Or can anyone suggest what I can do. It is extremely crucial that I fix this soon so I would really appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Thanks in advance,
Liz.

Maybe you should look into
/var/log/messages.log
/var/log/daemon.log
/var/log/kernel.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log will be overridden, afaik.

How to set up Application specific custom ogoff (sign-off) page.

Hi,
I'm using OracleAS 10.1.2.2
Note 333638.1 shows us how do make a custom SSO login page to be application specific. This works.
Now, I want to do a custom SSO logout (sign-out) page. Using the redirect method described does not seem to work. Please note that in our version 10.1.2.2, there is no default logout.jsp page in the /sso/jsp directory. To deploy a custom logout page, I would need to update the WWSS_LS_CONFIGURATION_INFO$ view.
I was able to test a custom SSO logout.jsp page sucessfully. However, when I tried using a redirect_logout.jsp to make it application, it no longer works.
Does anyone know or have any idea on how to deploy an application specific logout page? (i.e. only specific applications uses the custom logout page, otherwise go to the default one).
Thanks.
- Kevin

Well,
There are 5 choices to choose from on the page. In the description of the choices at the bottom of the page there are 7, and the two additional choices talk about having to first have registered the site with SSO. So...I'm interpreting that as meaning that other 2 possible choices would be displayed if the site is registered with SSO. That, plus the fact that the page which describes how to add the site to SSO seems to think that the SSO choices are displayed in the wizard.
So, no, there's no "exact launguage" that says what the reason is for the choices not being displayed. Can you point me to some exact language that tells me how to get those choices displayed?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed

Hello, we are trying to accomplish the same thing that is mentioned in this post from Metalink. I've searched for a solution and hope someone here can help. Instead of restating the issue I think David Wilson does a good job of explaining what is needed. Can anyone please suggest a possible solution?

How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Hi,
We run an oracle 10g forms application through 9iAS over an intranet. All users are running windows 2000 professional.
We run separate frame = true but I would like to switch to separate frame = false
With separate frame = true if the user clicks the outer windows "X" close button (forms mdi window) the user is prompted to save changes before the application ends.
BUT
when using separate frame = false
If the user clicks the upper window "X" button (no longer form mdi window but regular browser window) the window and application is abruptly closed.
I'm interested in using a onbeforeunload function to confirm if the user wants to close the window. This would be placed in the basejini.htm file. This could always ask if the user wants to exit or not. If they click OK then the window closes but if they click "Cancel" you are returned to the forms application exactly where you left. something like event.returnvalue="do you really want to exit?";
However if the user exited using the normal exit form method then the applet is already closed before the onbeforeunoad event fires and there is nothing to go back to and I want the window to close automatically. This is accomplished using close.html file in post forms trigger.
So what I want and what I think many may also want is the check if the embedded applet is still running and if so prompt the user to return to the application or continue to close. Of course If the applet is no longer running then just close because there is no reason confirm closing anymore.
Does anyone have a html/JavaScript solution that can be placed in the jinitiator.htm file? or similar?
Thank you
David

I don't know if this is exactly what you are after but you can add the following to the top of your basejini.htm file and it should prompt the user before exiting the IE window.

%HTMLbeforeForm%

Subject: Re : How to tell embedded jinitator applet is still running when window closed
Thank you for your reply and yes you did not understand my question fully.
Sorry if this is a long reply
I am able to close the browser window using information in notes 115905.1 and 201481.1, this is not the issue. We implemented this several years ago. It is workable for both separate frame = true or false.
It is most important to not allow the user to end their forms application by closing the windows browser, they must close using normal form exit commands.
What I want is to have separate frame = false, the big drawback to this option is the user can exit the application and bypass all forms code by pressing the windows "X" close button. This is why we need the code as just provided by Andrew Lenton above in this thread.
BUT Andrew's code will always prompt the user before closing the window and I do not want that. I want the user to be prompted only under scenario 2 listed below.
Here's the 2 case scenario for exiting the application.
1. If the user closes properly and uses exit form which fires all normal form triggers including post_form with it's call to close.html file.
All uncommitted changes are saved or rollback and the users session is ended normally both on the database and in the application server.
All browser windows will close, great all is good. And without Andrew's code the window will close but with Andrew's code the user will be prompted to close or not, if they select Cancel the window will remain but the applet has already ended so why prompt? ...This is what I want to avoid.
2. In the forms app. if the user clicks the windows "X" close button with uncommitted changes. The browser just closes the changes are rollback without prompting the user to save. The users sessions are now lost and still running in the database and application server until they are timed out.
If I use Andrew's code then the user will be prompted to continue to close or go back, if they click Cancel to go back then focus returns to the forms application and the user can continue to work. If the user clicks OK then the window closes and unfortunately their sessions are still lost until timed out.
So what I desire is to add to Andrew's code to check if the embedded applet is still running and prompt the user to close or not accordingly.
Something like:
Basejini.htm like
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function maximizeWindow()
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
function confirm(){
If(document.embeddedapplet.closed())
Win.opener = self;
win.close();
Else if
event.returnValue = "Closing Forms Application. OK to continue?";
</SCRIPT>
<BODY %HTMLbodyAttrs%, onload="maximizeWindow()", onbeforeunload="confirm()">
%HTMLbeforeForm%
I hope this explains my requirements.

I'm sorry this is not helpful at all.
Note 199928.1 is only an alert which does not stop the closing of the window and still displays as an alert if the user does close properly using exit form ... so why would you want to display the alert then?
This is exaclty what I do not want and why I want to determine if the applet is still running before displaying any kind of message.

Closing thread.
Thanks,

Hello,
I had the same issue last year - wanting to provide a warning on closing the browser, but only if the Forms session is still running. The approach I took is described below, see also the thread where I originally posted this at Closing brower window
Hi there,I've had a similar requirement - or rather, the two conflicting requirements: to warn when the browser is being closed, but for the app to be able to close the browser without a warning being fired.
To always provide a warning when someone (the user or the Forms app) tries to go to a different page (e.g. your close.htm), use Javascript like:
function confirmExit(){
if(appletRunning==true) {
msg="Closing this window or navigating to another page will end your SomeGreatApp session.";
window.event.returnValue=msg;
And make a call to confirmExit() in the onBeforeUnload event of your main page.
You'll notice I first check an 'appletRunning' variable before displaying the warning. This Javascript variable is set to true by my app when it starts up, using an embedded Javabean that calls out to Javascript. Once that variable is set to true, then the warning will be displayed if the user tries to shut the browser by clicking on the 'x' button, or to go to a different URL.
When my app is shutting down, it uses the same Javabean to set appletRunning back to false. It then navigates to a close.htm - which will be done without a warning being displayed.
See Re: How can a Javabean call Javascript function of the basejpi.html?? for example code on how to call Javascript from a bean embedded in your Forms app.
Hope these ideas help you out, it's worked for me (so far, anyway!!)

How to deploy Servlet Application in Weblogic 8.1

Hi,
I am new to BEA Weblogic 8.1 .
I was trying to create a sample application using InelliJ IDea 5.1 , and IntelliJIdea 10.5 . i configured weblogic with IDE , but now i do not know how to deploy my application in weblogic .
I am new in IntelliJ also .
So Can anyone tell me how can i deploy a servlet application in any IDE like i also have eclipse indigo.
Thanks & Regards
Komi

Hi Komi
Basically you deploy your Servlet as a WAR File. I am not familiar with IntellJ IDE. But it should have a provision to export/create a WAR file that has your Servlet. Also I hope you already have web.xml file with 2 sections like this: First you mention full package of your servlet and give it a name. Then enter a mapping url. You will use this url to run your servlet like http://weblogichost:weblogicport/yourWebappcontextroot/myservlet
<servlet>
     <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>com.abd.def.MyServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
     <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
     <url-pattern>/myservlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Coming to deployment, I hope you already created a Weblogic Domain and have admin username/password. Start your domain. Login into weblogic console like http://host:port/console and use admin username/password. Then from Deployments section, deploy the above WAR file. In Weblogic you can deploy JAR (EJBs, java files), WAR (web jsp, html, webservices, servlets) or EAR (JAR + WAR). In your case its just a WAR file.
Refer the online docs for more details on Deployments in Weblogic.
