Launching applications via URL

I want to try and investifate whether tarantella easily supports the
launching of applications direcitly via an html page / url.
Are there any example instructions that give users examples on how this
can be done?

Dave,
One of the new features in SGD EE 4 is the ability to launch an app from
a URL. See
http://www.tarantella.com/support/documentation/sgd/ee/4.0/help/en-us/base/gettingstarted/whats_new.html#urls

Launch application via run menu rather than dos...possible?

hi,
we're trying to find a way to launch a application, such as MS Word, from our java app via the run menu in start menu, rather than through dos. currently our program reads the start menu and gets the lnk file paths, the problems is that it displays them as:
C:\WIN98_SE\start menu\programs\Microsoft Word.lnk
but dos needs them as:
C:\WIN98_SE\startm~1\programs\Micros~3.lnk
so to execute it from java we would need to write it as:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start C:\\WIN98_SE\\startm~1\\programs\\MICROS~3.lnk");
since we're doing this dynamically we can't be sure if the user will have office professional, home, or any other version, so this means that for some micros~3 might be micros~1, not sure which number will be attached at the end. but if we are able to launch it from the run command in the start menu then typing:
C:\WIN98_SE\start menu\programs\Microsoft Word.lnk
will work.
Thanks.

You should try this:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("command /C \"C:\\WIN98_SE\\start menu\\programs\\Microsoft Word.lnk\" "); with Win98
orRuntime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /C \"C:\\WINNT\\Documents and Settings\\user-name\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Microsoft Word.lnk\" "); with Win2000 prof.
/C - Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
I tested only the second one because I don't have access to a win98 system.
Let me know if this solves your problem.

Workspace not rendering after selecting "Launch Application"

Hi,
I have a 11.1.2.2 instance of Planning, Essbase, ODI etc. running on the cloud via Metavero. It's up and running, I think. When I click on Workspace URL and then select 'Launch Application', another window pops up and it looks like it wants to give me the login screen but it just stays gray and never gets to the login. I tried restarting some services but not sure which ones and which order is correct. Or is there other things I need to check?

Sounds like browser issue, Which browser (and version) you are using?
If its IE and apply recommended settings:
Internet Explorer (IE7, IE8 and IE9) Recommended Settings for Oracle Hyperion Products [ID 820892.1]
If its FireFox then:

Print BW report embedded via URL Iview

Hi,
We have a VC application which contains a BI report. In the VC we created a "Print" button which should print the entire contents of the VC Application. Unfortunately it seems this print is not compatible with the URL Iview since it ignores the content of the BI report.
Is this normal ? Is there a workaround available in VC to print a BI Web application via the VC ?
thanks

Please let us know if there are any updates on this. I am also facing the same issue where I have a WAD report ( html link) in the VC model along with other reports in VC. The Print screen just prints the VC part and the WAD part comes as blank.

How to launch a single URL in a locked windowed-kiosk mode?

We need to launch a specific URL in Firefox in a windowed-kiosk mode.
If this can be done via a command-line that would be great. The Company want to restrict the use of the browser to this one specific URL and only allow close controls on the opened app window.
Is this possible?
Any help much appreciated!

Call a ABAP Web-Dynpro-application via a BSP-Application

We have a BSP-Framework, that call several applications among other things other BSP-Applications, ITS-Application and other systems. Now I want to integrate a ABAP Web Dynpro-Application.
For the moment I can call the ABAP Web Dynpro-Application from our application.
This application runs in the same session as the Framework (verify in transaction sm04).
When I want to call another application in the Framework, the session will be killed (no more sessions in sm04). This happens also, when I want to call the ABAP Web Dynpro-Application a second time.
I guess, that the ABAP-Framework thinks I want to go outside the system (for example www.google.de) and close the session. I found out, that this wouldn't happen, if the application were suspended. But I found no way to tell the application via a url-parameter to suspend.
Can someone help me?

Thx for the tip,
but I can't firea suspend plug. Because I'm in BSP. I understand the docu so, that you have the option to call a other apllication like BSP from a ABAP Web Dynpro.
I want to call the ABAP Web Dynpro form BSP like this way.
1. Start BSP-Framework
2. Call ABAP Web-Dynpro-Application from BSP
3. Call another Application from BSP without automatically logout by unload ABAP Web Dynpro. (I have a chance to call the ABAP Web Dynpro again via url to suspend before I call the other app.)

Hi Mahesh,
You need to setup a Single Sign On between SAP Portal and ECC system where yoy are doing the development.
Ask basis team to setup the single sign on and usually this is the job done by Basis teams. Refer the below link to get some idea on SSO setup:

Something sketchy.
I had the same message appear. It resized my window to the smallest possible size (not minimize!) and when I resized it larger, it had opened a new tab with that message. It was on "c510a1.minersaver1.com" which sounds like a related site.

Launch application according to script/question result

Hello
I would like to install an application via ZENworks, but I need to ask the user if he wants to install it or not?
Can I ask this to the user in a script and then launch another application (or the same) only if the user selected 'Yes' for example? or is possible to do it another way?
Thanks

See the docs:
"Script Engine Location The script engine determines the script commands
and scripting language you need to use. If you do not define a script
engine in the Script Engine Location field, Application Launcher uses the
Novell ClientTM as the script engine (if the workstation has the Novell
Client installed), which means that you can use most Novell Client login
script commands."
Ie, leave it blank and it will use the Client login script processor.

Launch Application empty...

Hi,
Running Arch Linux 64bit on Acer 8930G 2.27GHz, 4GB DDR2, 160GBSATA and Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT 512MB using KDE 4.8 desktop environment.
When I clicked on a hyperlink via an email mesage the Launch Application popped up and it is empty.
Is that a bug? How do I fix it?

Clicked a hyperlink from what? What kind of hyperlink was it? HTTP, magnet (a la TPB)?
PS: 37 views because "Launch Application empty..." sounds like dyslexia. Some of them could've been caused by you, like for example refreshing the page a few times.
You shouldn't expect help. Not immediate help, anyway. We're all volunteers here. And Arch is a DIY kind of distribution, where users are encouraged to solve their own problems. It's why you see so many solved topics coming from the Arch forums. It implies a certain mindset.

I have a problem in the distribution of an application via GPO.

Hi all,
I have a problem in the distribution of an application via GPO.
Actually the problem is due to non-implementation of the changes of the MST transformation file.
I have an installer in .MSI format, during installation the program requires the following parameters:
- DatabaseInstance "SRVAPPXXXX"
- DatabaseName "AAAAA_BBBBB"
- DatabaseUser "dbuser"
- DatabasePassword "password"
- SharedComponentsPath "\\SRVAPPXXXX\PATH"
Then through ORCA I prepared a .MST tranform file that in the Property section corroborates the above parameters
The installation is successful, but when the program is launched it faults as if the parameters supplied were empty.
So I made a further step, I tried to run the installer from the command line:
msiexec /qn /l*v c:\log.txt /i "\\SrvappXXXX\Share\Setup.msi" TRANSFORMS=\\SrvappXXXX\Share\Setup.mst
and also:
msiexec /qn /l*v c:\log.txt /i "\\SrvappXXXX\Share\Setup.msi" DatabaseInstance="SRVAPPXXXX" DatabaseName="AAAAA_BBBBB" DatabaseUser="dbuser" DatabasePassword="password" SharedComponentsPath=\\SRVAPPXXXX\PATH
In both case installations ends without any error.
In the first case it does not work, in the second one it does
Before relaunching the installation I have always previously totally removed the program.
Any suggestion is very welcome

That's the strange thing, in the log fiile everything seems to have worked fine.
By the way it is a 18k lines file, however:

Can't receive variables from HTML to Flash in AS3 passed via URL (not Flashvars)

hey all,
can't seem to get AS3 to recognize variables passed via URL
(not Flashvars). i can get vars passed with Flashvars in the
javascript but I don't want to use that method. i'm simply
extending the .swf call with .swf?var=123 in the embed and on the
AS3 side i'm calling loaderInfo.parameters.var
thought this would work but doesn't. what am i doing wrong?
HTML:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="

AS:
t = new TextField();
t.text = String(loaderInfo.parameters.var);
thx in adv.
michael

appreciate you were going for brevity, but i think the
answer's going to be hidden either in your complete html code or
your complete AS code. without seeing this i can only keep
guessing.
that said, my latest guess is that you're not passing your
variable within the AC_FL_RunContent function. there are two
properties set in this function - src and movie, which contain your
movie name, to which you can add any parameters you wish to pass.
eg.
'src', 'main?var=123',
'movie', 'main?var=123',
where main is the name of your swf and var the name of the
parameter you wish to pass.
if this function fails - if javascript isn't available in the
browser, for example, or AC_RunActiveContent.js is missing, then
the <object> tag you described is used. (this object tag is
sitting inside a <noscript> tag.)
