Is it possible to start an application with parameters

Hello together,
I have written an application which is stored on a network. People from different computer start it to work with it. Now I have the problem, that I need some different configurations on each computer.
Is it possible to start a labview application with parameters, like: application.exe -User_1
The application should check the parametes and should switch to the needed configuration.
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Michael
Solved!

Hi Michael,
yes it is possible. First you have to activate the data transfer of your parameters. You can do it in the application builder. It is something like "send command line parameters to exe" which you have to activate. You will get the parameter in your program with the property "App.Args". It is an array with the exe name as the first element and one entry for each additional linked parameter.
Hope it helps.
Mike

Applescript: How to start an application with parameters

AppleScripters,
I am sorry if I have posted this in the inappropriate forum, I saw none with a specific regard to AppleScript.
Let us presume that we have a regular shell script which when initiated from the Terminal has code such as what follows hereupon:
/Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/seamonkey -editor /Users/joebuffoon/myhomepage.htm
In order to convert this to AppleScript I was told to use:
activate application "Seamonkey"
This works, but seems not to support the ability to either provision the "-editor" argument (such argument would impel Seamonkey to start in "composer mode"), nor does it seem to provision the allowance of supplying a file to open in "composer mode" as the aforementioned command line in my shell script would.
Can I ask if anyone has any idea how I can do this in AppleScript?
I am also interested to find a good book on Apple Scripting (preferably one available in PDF format as well, if possible).
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

I've had success with the script below, tested using SeaMonkey version 2.0b1 and Mac OS 10.4.11. It may or may not work with earlier versions of SeaMonkey, however, as the new beta version features UI changes.
No browser window will open as long as SeaMonkey > Preferences > Appearance is set to open Composer exclusively at startup.
Be advised that the script is meant to run slowly and might appear to be hanging when such is not the case. Adjusting delay times would be key if the script does fail at any point, however. Good luck.
+Copy the block of code below and paste it into your AppleScript Script Editor:+
*tell application "SeaMonkey" to activate*
*delay 4 -- four-second delay; increase if necessary*
*tell application "System Events"*
*tell process "SeaMonkey"*
*if not (exists window "untitled - Composer") then*
*key code 21 using command down -- makes new window if necessary ("Command + 4")*
*end if*
*delay 2 -- increase if necessary*
*keystroke "o" using command down -- "Open File…"*
*delay 2 -- increase if necessary*
*keystroke tab using shift down*
*keystroke tab using shift down -- brings focus to text field for file search*
*keystroke "File Name" -- enters file name (you must replace text within quotes with actual file name)*
*key code 47 -- enters "dot"*
*keystroke "html" -- enters extension*
*delay 10 -- ten-second delay could be MININUM; increase if necessary*
*keystroke tab*
*keystroke tab -- brings focus to scroll area*
*key code 125 -- presses down arrow to highlight specified file*
*keystroke return -- presses "Open"*
*end tell*
*end tell*

How to start a application with a login window?

hi there
does anyone have any idea on how to start an application with a login window? a login window is the first frame or window to be displayed when an application starts running. and only correct login id and password have been entered the real application will start. any sample out there? thank you.

You can start a new thread by making a thread object and passing it an implementation of a runnable object. Runnable has just one method, public void run(), this is was gets executed in a second thread. perhaps the code you would use would look something like this.
<code>
// set up thread for login window
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// construct your login window here
// when you are done processing the
// password....
if(goodPassword) {
authorized = true; // a global variable
notifyAll(); // don't forget this
else {
System.exit(42);
}).start();
// control does not stop this code gets executed while
// the above thread is running.
// Set up main program here. This is done in the
// backround.
while(!authorized) {
synchronized(this)
{ wait(50); }
// now when the user logs in this frame pops
// up real quick.
myFrame.setVisible(true);
</code>
Hope you can figure it out.. good luck :)

Examples of 'calling a web dynpro application with parameters'

Hi!!
I'm I have been watching manual 'Web dynpro for abap: advanced concepts' in the sections 'url parameters' and 'calling a web dynpro application with parameters'.
Is there some example where these terms are seen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ana,
a window inbound plug can have parameters.
These parameters are automatically fished out of the URL by the framework.
So your inbound plug handler method has easy access to the parameters.
URL
http://<host>:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/<your application>?param1=xyz&param2=abc
The application is configured to call an inbound interface(window) and plug.
The plug can be declared with parameters.
Double click on window inbound plug and add your parameters.
The parameters are made available by framework if present in Launch URL.
You can also call an application that has parameters directly entered on the parameters tab.
ie Parameters can be part of the application launch.
regards
Phil

Start external application with oracle job

I'm trying to start external program with oracle job.
Here is an example (I used SYS as SYSDBA):
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_job',
job_type => 'executable',
job_action => 'C:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe',
enabled => true,
auto_drop => false );
END;
But job STATE comes FAILED.
How should I do this?
Result was not better when I used
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM (
program_name => 'my_prg',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => 'C:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe',
enabled=>TRUE);
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_job',
program_name => 'my_prg',
enabled => TRUE,
auto_drop => false );
END;

[KDM] Cannot start gui application with sudo

Hi,
After i had upgraded to kde 4.5, there was a new problem. When i want to start any gui program with sudo (e.g. sudo kwrite) i see that error:
[simas@myhost ~]$ sudo kwrite
No protocol specified
kwrite: cannot connect to X server :0.0
[simas@myhost ~]$
Starting apps like nano works fine. I also discovered that when i use gdm instead of kdm, and boot to same kde desktop, i can start gui apps with sudo fine. when i use kdm no matter if im in gnome or kde starting gui apps from terminal with sudo just doesnt work.
Anyone has any ideas? im starting desktop managers with inittab method.

well, using kdesu works fine, but i still prefer sudo. in fact everything worked fine in kde 4.4 and gdm.

Is is possible to start the Appserver with DOS 'runas' command

I can do this with tomacat:
runas /user:myuser /pass:mypassword "location of tomcat"
is this possible with SUN appserver that comes with the STUDIO for
both the modes:
1)Normal Start
2)Debug

Not normal but you will need to feel the trackpad actually click, at the login (press hard left bottom corner). Tap to click isn't available until you log and it can read your preferences.

Starting SMA runbook with parameteres using powershell via REST

Start and ADF Application with a non-View Task

I would like my application to start with a non-View task from within Unbounded Task Flow.
For example, I would like a single "Task Flow Call" in the Unbounded Task Flow which will call the first Bounded Task Flow. The first BTF will expose the main application page. The main application page will contain a dynamic region to handle all other bounded task flows.
Is there a better task type to use than the Task Flow Call?
Does the first task in an unbounded task flow need to be a view task?
If so, is possible to simply use this page to redirect to a non-view task (such as a Task Flow Call)?
Any ideas on the best approach for this? The point is that I do not want to start the application with a view task.
Thanks,
Vince

Hi,
you can't start with a non-view acticvity in an unbounded task flow. In your case I suggest to use a bounded task flow that you enable for browser access (property setting) and have it using JSPX pages. You don't need to start with a view in the unbounded task flow to achieve what you want
