That sounds like you use 1.2 to run weblogic.Admin - try it
with 1.3.

  • Problem using extension manager CS5 with command line

    Hi All,
    I had posted my question here : http://forums.adobe.com/message/4695419#4695419, but was advised to do so here as well..
    I have a requirement to get the path of all the installed Extension Managers on any Windows system for the purpose of installing an extension.. I thought, there would be no problem in getting the path from the registry. There was no problem in Win XP, but the same does not work for Win 7.. I googled, and found alternate ways to get the path.
    Here is the link : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/851359. I followed the instructions in this post, but failed to get this working for CS5 as mentioned in my previous thread... No problem for CS5.1 and CS6.. Why is that?
    I want to get this working for CS5, CS5.1, CS6... How can I get the path of all the Extension Manager versions installed on a Windows system?
    Please refer to the following screenshots to get a better understanding of my problem,
    I created a jsx file named "Result.jsx", which I saved in my D drive, with the following code,
    resultFile = new File("D:/result.log");
    resultFile.open("w");
    resultFile.write(BridgeTalk.__diagnostics__);
    resultFile.close();
    If I run this directly from ESTK CS5, there is no problem, and I get the result.log file. I tried to execute this script via command line as shown in the screenshot,
    On executing the above, I got the following error,
    What is going wrong?
    Please help!

    I am sorry for the poor documentation of Extension Manager which causes you so much trouble.
    1. You can use BridgeTalk API to ask specific version of Extension Manager to do something. There is sample in packaging_extension.pdf about this. You don't need to know the installation path of Extension Manager. One thing to note is that the value of bt.target is version specific, i.e. "exman-5.0", "exman-5.5" send this message to different version of Extension Manager, so you can change this value to install/enable/disable/remove extensions using different version of Extension Manager. More detailed documentation of BridgeTalk can be found by clicking "Help" menu then clicking "Javascript Tools Guide CS5" in "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5".
    2. Specific version of Extension Manager only manage extensions for corresponding version of product. You should use Extension Manager CS5 to install extensions for Photoshop CS5. The reason that the extension you installed for Photoshop CS5.1 using Extension Manager CS5.5 is displayed for Photoshop CS5 in Extension Manager CS5 is that two versions of Photoshop specified the same directory for Extension Manager to manage extensions. This is a defect and will cause some problems if multiple versions of Photoshop co-existed in one machine. But "to find  previous (CS5) extension manager and to enable it" should work for you, I guess you use command line to enable it and specify wrong product name (see #3) so that it doesn't work.
    3. When using command line, you should specify "product" attribute with the name displayed at the left panel of Extension Manager. So "Photoshop CS5 32" is correct. Remember to enclose it with double quote because of existence of space character.
    4. As above mentioned, use display name of Photoshop, and call proper version of Extension Manager by BridgeTalk.

  • Using process manager to get command line of a running application

    hello,
    i'm currently using the process manager framework to get a list of current running processes on the machine. i would like to get the command line to display to the user. i can see how to get the path to the executable file. i.e. /Applications/AppRunning however i'd like to get the full command line and im either missing it from the documentation or not seeing the links to get that information. so i want to get /Applications/AppRunning -c someoption -f another option. can anyone recommend a function to assist me or if im using the wrong API to get the information i am looking for can someone recommend the correct API?
    thank you very much.

    thank you very much. you have been more then informative about this. i'll have to check out the kernel queues and events api you mentioned. i've never really digged this far into a unix style OS before. it's pretty interesting. it seems like EVFILT_PROC is what i want to get process starts/stops.
    I've never done this either, so I'm quite sure I'm missing some big things here. Some other things that might be handy are dtrace and ptrace. I strongly suspect that there is some really easy way to do it that I don't know about. You might try searching on the Apple developer mailing lists.
    at the end of the day though i still need to be able to retrieve the command line of a running executable. 'ps' can do it so i'm assuming there is a programatic way of doing it. is the mac 'ps' command source code online anywhere that i can see what it's doing?
    I don't know about ps. There are a number of Mac applications that do things similar to what you propose. Marcopolo is open-source and can detect when applications are launched.
    i have looked at the linux procps package however it relies on the procfs which mac does not have.
    Amit Singh wrote a MacFUSE-based procfs for the Mac. You can look at the source code to that, but, to quote Amit "the MacFUSE version of procfs makes heavy use of the Mach programming interfaces". Good luck with that. Still, there might be some helpful information in that link.

    Check using netstat to see if that port is already in use.
    Shared libraries don't need to be on the classpath, they are deployed similar to applications, so I'm confused by your comment about putting them on the classpath. I assume you're using Node Manager to start the server from the AdminConsole, if you want to use a difference classpath either use the StartupScriptEnabled=true in nodemanager.properties OR put the extra classpath entries on the Server Start tab in the console.

  • Picture Manager with command line for Bat files

    Hello 
    I am wondering if Microsoft Picture manager has any command line switches i could use.
    I resize thousands of photos weekly using Picture manager for a semi automated process. The resize is the part that is not automated. For some reason when using image magik the resize is done but it does not accept some images where i upload them, yet if
    i do it in parallel with Office picture manager the Microsoft re-sized always work. 
    The process uses VB Access, downloads all images changes the extension from one card extensions to jpg and ammends the name. sorts the images to two folders.
    Then i resize as a batch manually. Not difficult but needs hands on and have you tried changing the dimensions in picture manager when all are selected. tedious!
    Then the final bat uploads to correct locations. 
    So my question, how to use command line with Microsoft picture manager. If not command line Powershell. I can not beleive that the program can not be opened specifying a folder and resize image dimension to use. I cant see the source code where i believe
    it would be apparent to me how to do so.
    Thank you
    Sometimes the answer is so blindingly obvious i fail to see!

    I have done it before on BOXI R2 with the IW, and it works fine
    But any how, this is the way that we have to work with, since it is part of a customer product and the link universe and it's reports  is an additional part of the product.
    So is there a way that I can pull just the main universe and it's reports?

    Hi IIka,
    I have not tried this but I think
      The return code of the script cannot be shown in monitor, because the call ends (does not expect a response) once the file adapter is called.
    May be you can capture the errors in a seperate file and

  • Accessing Runtime Mbeans from the command line.

    Hi,
    I just wanted to know if runtime Mbeans can be invoked from the command line.
    I tried accessing the ExecuteQueueRuntime mbean from the command line but nothing ever comes back.I am able to retrieve configuration mbeans without errors.
    Do I need to create the runtime mbeans before I can use them ?
    Or I need to invoke these commands via server code only?
    Thanks.

  • Running Unit Test from test manager that run bat file from command line

    Hi ,
    I am trying to run Jsystem (java framewotk) from command line using runScenario.bat thru unit test that i associated to test in test manager.
    the idea is that when i ran the automated test  from MTM - it will run the the unit test that will run the appropriate test case in java.
    i wrote the code like this : 
    using System;
    using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
    namespace UnitTestProject3
    [TestClass]
    public class UnitTest1
    [TestMethod]
    public void TestMethod1()
    try
    String command = "c:\\JSYSTEM\\runner\\runScenario.bat
    c:\\Users\\ryeshua\\Source\\Workspaces\\Auto1\\my-tests-project\\target\\classes scenarios\\feature1 RoeySetup.xml ";
    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo =
    new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd", "/c " + command);
    procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    //procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
    proc.StartInfo = procStartInfo;
    proc.Start();
    string result = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
    Console.WriteLine(result);
    catch (Exception objException)
    // Log the exception
    and when i ran it from visual studio it worked perfect. and update  the Jsystem logs of the junit test in the jsystem/runner/log folder.
    but when i added it to associated test and ran it from MTM - it pass but it does not update  the logs in jsystem folder.
    the problem that i dont know what is not working. i cant see the output of it when i ran from mtm but can see when i ran from VS.
    i am using VS 2013 Pro with MTM 2013.
    please advice
    Roey

    Hi Roey,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, could you please tell me how you generate the log file under the jsystem folder?
    Generally, I know that when we run unit test from VS IDE, the file will be saved into the local machine. But when we run unit test from MTM, the unit test method will be run on the test agent machine, so the file will be saved into the test agent machine.
    Therefore, I suggest you could check if you did not see the updated logs file in jsystem folder on the test agent machine.
    In addition, I suggest you could try to copy this unit test project on this test agent machine and then run the unit test method using mstest.exe in command line and then check if you can update the logs file.

  • UCCE - How to manage Agent & skillgroup in command line

    Hi,
    First thanks for your time to read this.
    I'm looking for a way to manage in custom application the associations between agents and skillgroups. From what I've looked there isn't any API.
    I was wondering if there is a command line bulk tool for this purpose.
    Could anybody give me some lights up on this?
    Thanks in advance.
    RB

    There used to be bulk load config tools, but they didn't do proper error checking as the GUI tools do.
    I don't think there were ever bulk "change" (i.e. skill group member), or delete command-line tools.

    If there are a lot of them you could go to a command prompt and type:

    Or better yet:  cmdkey /list > del_creds.cmd
    Then edit the file so you are only left with, for example:
        cmdkey /delete:info-services.dev-inside.lni.wa.gov
        cmdkey /delete:info-services.inside.lni.wa.gov
        cmdkey /delete:inside.lni.wa.gov
        cmdkey /delete:lnidaptumtfs08.wads.res
        cmdkey /delete:lniduttumvm05
        cmdkey /delete:lnipstum01.wads.res

  • Rpass - Secure, simple, and pluggable command-line password management

    WARNING: this program requires a python version greater than or equal to 3.
    EDIT: Fixed a bunch of bugs that made this unusable, please update!
    EDIT: Added a default configuration file.
    Hi there!
    rpass is a command-line password manager that encrypts any and all credentials you would like to store using gpg's algorithms.
    Gnome and Mac OS both have a universal credential solution, but to my knowledge there is no such generic linux application. Gnome's keyring code is long and personally, I don't trust it as much as the simple system I have in place in rpass - it is transparent and easy to understand, and any possible security holes would be blatantly visible.
    rpass can be used directly from the commandline, typing your master password (gpg passphrase) in every time, but it really shines when gpg-agent and xclip are installed. gpg-agent saves your passphrase for an interval of time, so you only have to authenticate yourself occaisonally, and the powerful search capabilities of rpass (regex-enabled) allow simple and quick account selection.
    Furthermore, with xclip installed passwords NEVER have to be printed onscreen - the first matching entry's password is automatically copied to the clipboard if a search is done with rpass. You can even run rpass from applications like 'dmenu', and although there will be no visible output, if you enter a search term after rpass you will have the password you wanted copied to your clipboard.
    Finally, it can also be easily integrated in other applications -- I use it for my email (mutt) and any script I write that requires a password.

    or with
    $ man rpass
    after installation.

    I'm very interested in this. However... on the initial run, pressing enter causes a crash:
    $ rpass
    Need to first create gpg key pair.
    Choose a secure passphrase -- this is going to be your master password.
    Rerun program after key creation.
    WARNING: DO NOT pick a sign-only key type.
    Press [ENTER] when ready.
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/rpass_py_interface", line 80, in <module>
    input("Press [ENTER] when ready.")
    File "<string>", line 0
    ^
    SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
    I got around this by entering junk and I made my key. After rerunning rpass with the key generated:
    $ rpass
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/rpass_py_interface", line 84, in <module>
    if not(IsRunning(gpg-agent)):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpass.py", line 24, in IsRunning
    plist = [re.match(ppatt, p.strip()).groups()[0] for p in str(proc.communicate()[0], encoding=utf-8).split(n)[1:-1]]
    TypeError: str() takes at most 1 argument (2 given)
    Looks like rpass expects the gpg-agent to be running when it starts.
    edit: rather, it expects the gpg-agent to be running with the key loaded. gpg-agent was already loaded thanks to keychain but without my newly created key known to it.
