Logs for BIAR command line tool XI3.0

Hi,
Will there be any log files generated by the BIAR command line tool, when we try to export to a BIAR file?
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar M

Information regarding the import can be found in the following locations:
- Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 11.5\Logging
- Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 11.5\win32_x86
- Windows Event Viewer " If an error was encountered during import, the information will often be found here.
To generate more logs during the import:
Create a shortcut of the Import Wizard executable. The executable is found in <installation directory>:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86.
Right-click the new shortcut. Click Properties.
Click the Shortcut tab. Add "trace at the end of the Target command line as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32-x86\ImportWiz.exe" -trace
Click OK.
When starting the import process, use this new shortcut instead of the previous one to start a trace. The resulting logs will reside in <installation directory>: \Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects 11.5\Logging.

Biar Export using Biar Command line tool

Hi All,
I am trying to export biar file using the biar command line tool for that i have written a .properties file and running that using the batch file , Here are the contents -
Biarexport.properties -
exportBiarLocation=C:/work/biartest/level.biar
action=exportXML
userName=E372019
password=welcome9
CMS=tss0s108:6800
authentication=secEnterprise
includeSecurity=true
exportDependencies=true
exportQuery= Select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind in ('CrystalReport','Folder') and si_name='Air Travel Activity' and SI_INSTANCE = 0
and running the above .properties file using below command u2013
cd C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib
java -jar biarengine.jar C:\work\biartest\biarexport.properties
I get the biar file created on the given folder but if I compare itu2019s size(261KB) with the biar which I create manually from the Import Wizard(35 KB) , then comparatively it is bigger. It seems biar has every instance.
This increases the file size unnecessary since we do not need the instances in the BIAR, just the report and the dependent repository objects.
Need your assistance on this issue!
Thanks for your help!

I would suggest creating a case with support to go over this, you should have a support agreement since you have the Enterprise product.

Error while exporting webi reports using BIAR command line tool.

We are trying to export webi objects to a biar file using the biar command line tool, biarengine.jar in XI 3.0. We are using the query select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind='webi'.
We are getting an error "unable to create plugin object".
Export of all other objects is going through fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Lookup for WINS command line tool

Hi ,
Can anyone help me in finding a way to get a lookup tool or script to check WINS records.
I have used nblookup but this only gives HostName to IP.
I want it from IP to HostName from WINS.
I have tried using nbtstat -A x.x.x.x also , but this is not fetching records from WINS. (not accurate)
Sai Krishna

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need a command line tool to look up records from WINS.
The command line nbtstat –A <IP address> , will returns the NetBIOS name table and MAC address corresponding to the IP address you typed, but the WINS does not queried during this process, the two
nodes use NbtNs to request and respond the NetBIOS name between them.
You may use netsh wins command to query names from WINS which you specified:
>Netsh
>WINS
>Server <WINS IP address>
>show name name=<record name> endchar=<16thCharInHex>
This will find IP address and NetBIOS names according to the name. If you need to search name according to IP address, I suggest you use the
display records in the WINS snap-in.
Detailed information about netsh wins command line, reference the link below:

BIAR Command line tool Properties

hi,
what does
action = exportXML and action = importXML means.
where we should use
exportBiarLocation and importBiarLocation
plz explain.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
biarengine.jar supports 2 functionalities:
1) Importing a BIAR file using command-line
2) Exporting a BIAR file using command-line
To import a BIAR file, you would specify:
action=importXML
importBiarLocation=C:/path/to/biarfile.biar
To export a BIAR file, you would specify:
action=importXML
importBiarLocation=C:/path/to/biarfile.biar

Biar Command Line - Only move reports?

Hi,
I need to copy only reports between environments on a schedule. By my reading of the Administrator manual, it appears it will not work.
Importing relationships
The BIAR Command Line Tool only keeps the relationships between imported objects intact if both objects are imported together, or if one of the objects already exists on the destination. For example, if you have a Web Intelligence Report that uses a Universe, and you import the Report without also importing the Universe, the relationship between the two is dropped. The Report will not run on the destination.
Is this true? The import wizard doesn't seem to have this limitation.
Are there other options to do this aside from LCM?
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
Basically you want to sync reports between two environments on a periodic basis. Federation would be a good choice over here.
You can refer to the Admin guide for various options.
Hope it helps.

What are the commands for compiling c++ using the command line tools for xcode?

Hi, I am taking a class in school for c++ and i would like ot be able to practice at home i found the command line tools for xcode and went ahead and installed it on my computer. now i need to know the commands and procedure to be able to compile and run c++.

c++ testfile.cc

Command line tools for xcode??

I am used to compiling code much like the java sdk works from terminal where I say javac the filename and then i get a .class file that i can run by doing the command java and then the .class file after. I am now wanting to learn c++ and I dont feel like installing xcode all i want is a compiler that can run from terminal. i found command line tools for xcode on the apple developers site and i was wondering do i need xcode for this to run and after that what the commands are and how i compile/run the code. But my biggest question is still wether or not i need xcode to let command line tools work. ive read in a couple places i dont need it but in other ive read you do can i get help?!

You don't need Xcode to compile your apps with; just the compiler/linker.
Xcode is Apple's IDE. One could write the same code in TextEdit but that wouldn't be easy nor fun.
(Missed it by THAT much!)

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Consistent error when trying to install Command Line Tools

Hi there,
after downloading XCode from the App-store without problems, I then tried to add the Command Line Tools via the Preference/Download/Components menu.
When it comes to install the downloaded package, Xcode states "An error occured while extractng files from DevSDK.pkh", and thats about it. Re-installed Xcode, same result. Downloaded the image for the CL-utilities by hand, several versions including older ones, with the same result. The error message in /var/log/install is not very enlighning (for me)
NSUnderlyingError = "Error Domain=BOMCopierFatalError Code=1 \"The operation couldn\U2019t be completed. FinishStreamCompressorQueue error\" UserInfo=0x7ff9e1ec9ae0 {destinationPath=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/Cleanup At Startup/PKInstallSandboxManager/1.sandbox/Root, offset=1156350, type=BOMCopierFatalError, sourcePath=/var/folders/2f/vqq1hf8d0851_5ty12s5g0ym0000gp/T/attached-image-2b66 48c01a1f4d20c9a96b45cf50d1e78e216eb4/Command Line Tools (Mountain Lion)/Packages/DevSDK.pkg, NSLocalizedFailureReason=FinishStreamCompressorQueue error}";
PKInstallPackageIdentifier = "com.apple.pkg.DevSDK"
I am a bit stuck here (and in desperate need of a c++ compiler). Any suggestions what to do ?

the last entry in the list you provided is "zz" so ...
if you look at the second path in the error message (bolded)...:
/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000/Cleanup At Startup/PKInstallSandboxManager/1.sandbox/Root
you will see that the path matches. If you don't feel compfortable navigating via the terminal you can also navigate via the finder and go directly to this folder by selecting the menu item "Go > Go To Folder...":
then enter the path "/var/folders"
you will see the "zz" folder in there. you can open that and continue until you can see the folder "zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n0000000000000"
Here is view from the terminal and the Finder of the same structure:
I have that same folder:
select this folder and delete (I think you will have to authenticate to remove).... sorry I am not going to remove since things are working on my end.
locate the other folder and do the same.

Is it possible to check out whole repository from dtr command line tool?

Hi
I wonder is it possible to check out whole repository from dtr command line tool.
Normally, in NWDS i have to log into SLD, select a component, then select components i want to check out into workspace.
I would like to do some static analysis (PMD, etc) but checkiing out everything manually is really painfull.
Are there any guides how to check out everyhing from the command line (so i would nothave to specify any paths except top level components)?

Hi,
I don't know of a feature which would allow to check out "everything" from the "root".
checkout Checks the given resource out.
Syntax checkout/co \[-exclusive| -x] resource \[activity]
Options exclusive|x If specified the resource is exclusively checkout-out.
Arguments resource The resource that should be checked out.
activity The path or name of the open activity that should be used for the checkout, if no activity is specified one is implicitly created.
Output Variables
$wr[] Working resources
$act[] Activities
Description Checks a resource out.
Examples
Checkout a file within a given activity
Checks out the file "/ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt" in the activity "/act/myActivity".
checkout /ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt /act/myActivity
Checkout a file
Checks out the file "/ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt" in an activity that is implicitly created and returned in the output variable "$act".
checkout /ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt
Checkout a file exclusively
Checks out the file "/ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt" exclusively in an activity that is implicitly created and returned in the output variable "$act".
checkout -x /ws/wspdir/wsp/dir/a.txt
Can you please also tell us what kind of statistics you intend to create? Sorry I don't know what PMD abbreviates.
You can always generate yourself an up-to-date documentation of the DTR Console by exporting the help (for details type help help): help -x c:/DTRConsole.doc

GUI Applications unable to use command line tools

Hi All-
I've searched, but I can't find a thread about this one, so...
On OS 10.4.5:
Whenever I use a GUI app that wants to use a command line tool (e.g. curl, df, java), the app fails giving an error message to the effect of "unable to find curl" or the like. It is as if the GUI cannot find my unix $PATH.
Examples:
-- Eclipse refuses to launch, because it appears to use "java xxxxxxx" to launch.
-- Automator fails to run certain Safari actions because they use curl to navigate web pages.
-- Carbon Copy Cloner fails to launch, because it can't find a tool (df, IIRC) to read drive/volume info
Possibly relevant details:
-- I can use the tool in question from the command line, so they are present, and in my $PATH, but the GUI can't find them.
-- I recently moved from an old G4 to a relatively new G5, and had issues migrating files, so I eventually just copied my entire home directory from the old machine to the new, replacing the freshly created one on the new machine. I feel like that missed something that tells the GUI where your $PATH is, or some other link between GUI and command line.
-- I created a new user, and that user does not experience the same troubles. This adds to my suspicion that it is account/PATH related.
Any help anyone can give it greatly appreciated.

Did you by any chance create an evironment.plist file? It is located in ~/.MacOSX/ If you don't know about it or don't know to look (.MacOSX is normally invisible), try this:
In Finder.app, in the "Go" menu select "Go to Folder..." (shift-command-G), type ~/MacOSX in the text field and hit OK, the finder should then open a window or complain.
If it opens a window and you find in it a file named environment.plist move that file to the desktop and try your applications. Do they work as advertized? Try again after logging in/out if things don't work. Do they work now?
Whatever hapens, tell us more...

Running a command in a command line tool in fastest way

Before anything I want to clarify some terms :
apk
file (android application package file) : equivalent to executable (exe) files on windows
aapt.exe
: A command line tool which comes with android sdk in order to fetch information of an apk file (It obviously has other usages)
note : This question is not about an android feature. It's all about C# and functionality of .Net framework
An
apk file has a name just same as any other file, but it has a internal name (which will be shown when you install apk file on android os as name of application)
with
aapt.exe I can get internal name of an apk using following command :
aapt
d badging "<apk path>"
I
have copied aapt.exe where executable file of my c# application is and I want :
Enter
above command for each apk in selected directory (using GetAllFiles method)
I want to get internal names of apk files and
I've tried a lot of ways and I've searched a lot. finally this is what I've got :
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
proc.Start();
using (StreamWriter sw = proc.StandardInput)
foreach (string path in Directories.GetAllFiles(@"E:\apk", "apk"))
sw.WriteLine("aapt d badging " + "\"" + path + "\"");
//following line doesn't work because sStandardInput is open
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
// There will be a really huge amount of text (at least 20 line per sw.Writeline) and
//it impacts performance so following line is not really what I'm looking for
Debug.WriteLine(proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
GetAllFiles is
a function that I've created to fetch all apk file full path. It gets two argument. First argument is path and second one is extension of file you want its full path to be fetched.
This is not final code.
As I've commented it out first Debug.WriteLine doesn't
work and second one is not a good idea. how should I get output from proc?
I have tried running process by argument and its awful :)
As another approach :
Because apk files are basically zip files I can extract them get what I want from them.
There is an xml file named Androidmanifest.xml in every apk file.
Androidmanifest.xml is like an ID card for an apk file and apk internal name can be found in it but here are some problems with this approach :
1. Androidmanifest.xml is not a plain text file. It's coded and it requires a lot of complexity to decode it
2. application name (or apk internal name) is an attribute in this file and it's value is not a string value. It's a reference to a file where strings are stored and worst thing is it's not an easy to find out reference. It's just a number

And you don't get any output from it? Maybe you're passing the arguments incorrectly?
No. I don't get any result and I have checked arguments and it's correct.
But you are already running a separate process for every apk file. You start a single cmd.exe and then send it commands that will cause aapt to be run for every file. Unless aapt accepts multiple apk filenames on the command line there's no way
around using separate processes.
I didn't know that. anyway speed in this way is much more rather than creating a function. creating a Process object in it and calling function for each apk file.
I read somewhere that it's possible to run multiple commands in cmd by & operator but as you said I think every command runs aapt. I have tested this approach too and it's very very slow
fastest approach I have found is what I have wrote here and speed is about 0.6 per apk file which is still slow when there is thousands of apk files.
I tried an application that does same thing (fetching apk information) and in it's installation directory I found aapt.exe which means it uses this tool to get information but speed is significantly faster rather than my application.
So what's your suggestion about this?
