Multiple instances of an air app

Is there a way to create an AIR app that can have multiple instances of itself running on the same windows machine?

Ahh.  So you're saying in the air application descriptor under
<!-- The application identifier string, unique to this application. Required. -->
<id>YourAppId</id>
if this is different you can start multiple instances?
Let's see... [tests]
Yep, it works.
Not a lot of fun having to do this manually each time in FB, but at least it's possible.

  • Run Multiple Instances of Windows Store App

    We have a desktop app which we are considering porting to Windows Store. Our app allows the user to generate orders. If the user wishes to generate several orders simultaneously, they open several instances of our app.
    Is it possible to run multiple instances of a Windows Store app on Windows 10?

    Hi,
    Another thread in MSDN forum already answered this question:

    The app is still single instance, but it can now open multiple windows by calling
    CoreApplication.CreateNewView. This is demonstrated in the

  • Multiple Instances of Sample Planning App Slowing down Server?

    I am trying to work with the sample planning application that came with the installation of EPM system 11. In order to see what effect my changes have in the application and in an attempt to understand the functionality of the Planning, I have created several instances of the sample application so I can have a control instance, and several that I am changing. I currently have created and initialized 4 versions of the Sample Applicaiton, and recently the server is freezing. It will be working fine for about 5 minutes, and then essentially freeze for 10 minutes. Monitoring the Performance on the machine shows that the CPU usage spikes to about 80% during the freeze times, and then drops to below 10%. Does anyone know if having multiple Sample Applications on a single Essbase Server may be causing this problem? Thank you.

    I see another thread on this subject. Thanks.

  • "Open With" drop-down menu has multiple instances of apps

    When I right-click on a file and select "Open With", the resulting drop-down menu contains many, many multiple instances of the same app - five Firefox's, five Quicktime Player's, at least three instances of every relevant app. Why is that happening, and how can I clean that menu up?

    I happen to have the same problem. However I cannot find the two files in step two:
    2.
    Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
    * com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
    * com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
    I did input my UID number as you are told to do so in the instructions. The only I can find is the one in step six a:
    6.
    Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
    1. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. See Note [3].
    Is there a reason as to why I cannot find those files? Oh and I did delete it; all it did was reset the file associations.

  • Can policy agent protect multiple instances of app server

    I created multiple instances of Sun ONE App server 7.0, and one web-app in each instance. But When I am installing Policy Agent 1.1 for the second instance of App server, it told me that I HAVE had it installed.
    How can I protect multiple instances of App server?

  • Stop opening multiple instances of the same application

    I am used to having graphic files on my desktop, when editing one I would simply right-click and pick "open with" > Photoshop (which is always open in its own desktop in my computer). Now out of the blue, if I do that, it loads another instance of Photoshop, which is certainly what I don't want. I can have 2, 3, 4 Photoshops running at the same time and editing the same image!
    Any idea how to solve this? I searched but all I could find is people wanting the opposite i.e. opening multiple instances of the same app.

    Your best bet to prevent this is to detach or unmount this drive; however, you can also try resetting your Mac's launch services, to have it re-scan only the Applications folders on your boot drive for programs to associate with documents and services you are using. Running the following command in the OS X Terminal will kill the current launch services database (its long, but copy and paste the entire line):
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill
    Following this, run the following command to seed the database with the apps you currently have installed:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -seed
    Note that these changes will only apply when opening documents that have not been specifically assigned to a program. If you find a specific document continues to open the program on the external drive, then you can get info on it and change the associated program in the "Open With" section of the info window. After doing this, you might need to re-run these commands above, as opening the program will register it with OS X's launch services and have it now be available for automatically handling other documents.

  • Disallow running multiple instances of the same web start application..

    on the client? I have an application that is launched on the client by clicking on the link to the JNLP file. The problem is that I don't want the application to launch twice if the user clicks the link twice. Is there a way to keep web start from running multiple instances of the same app?
    I don't want to just disable the button after it is clicked because then the user won't be able to get back in if they need to.
    Any help out there?
    Thanks,
    Melanie

    The way I do this is to try connect to an obscure port number on the localhost at startup.
    if this connection succeeds I assume the app is already running. otherwise the program continues and registers as a server at that port number.
    I actually take this a little bit further by registering a web server at this port (I use the Brazil server), That way if the program finds an instance of itself running it can send a message to the web server and ask the program to do something (like start another window if,for instance you wanted to allow this but only within the same VM).

  • AIR apps using Stratus - protecting developer key

    How do we deploy an AIR app that uses Stratus and protect our developer key, since AIR is not encrypted?

    Except that the "somehow" is really not going to happen, because the code can be decompiled, and Adobe has not provided any way to keep some protected data on the client side OR even uniquely identify a particular instance of an AIR app. Unless I am wrong and someone can explain how...

  • "Updates" in Mac App Store contains multiple instances of same patch?

    I started with a newly opened MacBook Air (mid-2013) with Mountain Lion.  I used the Mac App Store to install Mavericks and the few subsequent OS patches.  In "Updates", I see multiple instances of the same patch, listed a few times:
    MacBook Air SMC Firmware Update v1.9 (3 times)
    Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update v4.09 (2 times)
    MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update v2.7 (1 time)
    iPhoto v9.5 (1 time)
    I haven't noticed anything wrong with the system, but it's weird to see a patch "installed" multiple times?  Anyone know why this is?
    Thanks!

    Yes, seen that little occurrence more than a few times, eventually it will vanish from what I've seen.
    If you installed it fine, no worries.

  • Multiple instances of Mail.app must be possible

    I've seen many questions regarding the possibility of running multiple instances of Mail.app as separate processes. There seems to be much good reason to be able to do so, i.e. separating work and private mail, and very little bad reason to do so (maybe some problems when doing upgrades or backups, but I'm not yet sure of this). It also seems that it should not be so hard to do.
    So far, using some web acquired wisdom, I've done the following:
    1. Duplicate mail.app:
    sudo ditto Mail.app WorkMail.app
    2. Rename the executable:
    mv /Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail /Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/MacOS/WorkMail
    3. Use Property List Editor to set the following values in/Applications/WorkMail.app/Contents/Info.plist (Apple-S to Save changes!):
    Root/CFBundleExecutable=WorkMail
    Root/CFBundleIdentifier=com.apple.workmail
    Root/CFBundleName=WorkMail
    Root/NSServices/0/NSPortName=WorkMail
    Root/NSServices/1/NSPortName=WorkMail
    Root/NSServices/2/NSPortName=WorkMail
    Root/UTExportedTypeDeclarations/0/UTTypeIdentifier=com.apple.workmail.emlx
    Root/UTExportedTypeDeclarations/1/UTTypeIdentifier=com.apple.workmail.emlx.part
    4. Create the following directories:
    mkdir ~/Library/WorkMail Downloads
    mkdir ~/Library/WorkMail
    4. Launch the 'new' application 'WorkMail'.
    5. Create mail accounts using the application's 'wizard'.
    Here is where the first problem is encountered. The new account directories and files are still created at ~/Library/Mail. Navigating to Mail->Preferences->Accounts->[account_name]->Advanced seems to offer the option to change the mail store account directory, but nothing can actually be changed here. So...
    6. Quit WorkMail.
    7. Move newly created account(s) directories (where [newaccountdirectory] is a directory named with the format: [mail_type]-[user]@[domain].[tld]@[pop].[domain].[tld]]) to the correct location:
    sudo mv ~/Library/Mail/[newaccountdirectory] ~/Library/WorkMail/
    8. Use Property List Editor to set the following values in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.workmail.plist (Apple-S to Save changes!):
    /Root/ActiveViewers/0/AttachedMailboxListExpandedItems/[0to_#_ofaccounts]/=~/Library/WorkMail/Mailboxes/...
    /Root/CurrentTransferMailboxPath=~/Library/WorkMail/Mailboxes/...
    /Root/MailAccounts/[0to_#_of_accounts]/AccountPath=~/Library/WorkMail/[new_accountdirectory]
    /Root/MailDownloadsPath=~/Library/WorkMail Downloads
    9. Relaunch WorkMail.
    Everything at this point seems to work okay, **BUT** when I launch Mail while WorkMail is launched, I find that I cannot navigate into any mail folders within Mail. I receive an error message indicating that a necessary directory is locked. It seems that the locking mechanism used by the application may be hard-coded to lock ~/Library/Mail, and both instances of the application continue to take this action when launched, making it impossible for both to work harmoniously at the same time. I will conduct more testing and experimentation, but I am not yet capable of editing the application itself. If anyone can take us this last step, I'm sure there are many who would also like to be able to take advantage of the potential functionality.
    Thanks for any input!

    Hopefully, there is someone with a programming background who
    can take me and other who have posted similar questions through
    the final mile on this...
    Well, I do have a programming background, and I must say that it amazes me that someone might want to do what you did to “solve” a problem that IMO doesn’t exist.
    What exactly is it that you expect to accomplish by running multiple instances of Mail, and for which neither (1) organizing your mail using multiple mail accounts, custom mailboxes, rules, and/or smart mailboxes, nor (2) setting up separate user accounts, are acceptable solutions? I just don’t get it.
    I've seen many questions regarding the possibility of running multiple
    instances of Mail.app as separate processes.
    I haven’t. Could you please provide a link for such a question, preferably one asked by someone who knew how Mail and Mac OS X work, i.e. a link for a case where there really was such a need?
    There seems to be much good reason to be able to do so
    I know of no such reasons, neither good nor bad.
    i.e. separating work and private mail
    I don’t see how that’s a reason to want to run multiple instances of Mail. Could you please elaborate?
    Maybe if you tell us what exactly is the problem that you’re trying to solve, instead of focusing on a convoluted “solution” that doesn’t work, we could propose a solution that does...
    and very little bad reason to do so
    Well, if the fact that it’s so convoluted and doesn’t even work aren’t bad enough reasons, I don’t know what it is...
    It also seems that it should not be so hard to do.
    I wonder what makes you think so. It does certainly seem hard to me, so hard that I don’t even think it can be done without breaking something, if at all...

  • Multiple instances of one app of the same name

    Hello,
    we have few FMS/AMS servers, versions 4, 4.5 and 5, running some kind of internet TV tubes on them.
    Each tube is supposed to run as unique instance of a Tube app, with unique settings for publishing to CDN (Akamai).
    Sometimes following scenario happens: We reload the stream via administration console or administration API with use of reloadApp command, instance starts closing sequence, even triggers onAppStop event. But as the new instance starts, the old process wakes up again and lives together with the new one - when I check then throught administration API with use of getActiveInstances command, it shows me more instance of the same name as result - for example:
    -<data>
    <_0>tv_app/tube25</_0>
    <_1>tv_app/tube2</_1>
    <_2>tv_app/tube21</_2>
    <_3>tv_app/tube2</_3>
    <_4>tv_app/tube2</_4>
    </data>
    From logs I can see that each of that instances runs under different process ID (x pid column).
    This is quite unpreffered behaviour, as with the same connection settings the multiple instances steals the connection to CDN entry point from each other which causes problems and unpredictable behaviour...
    I have following questions related to this:
    1. - Why the onAppStop is triggered when using reloadApp and unloadApp commands or buttons in admin console, when documentation says that this event should not be triggered on these ocassions (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/ssaslr/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7 edfSSASLR.2.3.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7fe2SSASLR.2.3)
    2. - How is it possible that system runs more instances of the same app with the same name? How to avoid such behaviour?
    I already noticed following aspects to have influence on the possibility to run multiple instance with the same name and got rid of them but problem still persists:
    - case sensivity of app name (one client connects to TV_app/tube2 and other connects to tv_app/tube2)
    - using false as return value in onAppStop event handler - when reloaded, new instance is started but the old one persists
    I am very eager to hear some explanation or clarification of such logic as it comes to me as some kind of internal bug as I have found everywhere that the instances names should be always unique....
    Thanks

    I just want to note that my recommendations led my clients to purchase more than 5 licences of FMIS/AMIS througt the time.
    As I see how low is the passion to react to any problem on Adobe side, I would have probably changed my mind.
    This is really pain in the *** as any call to adobe official contact (taken on mind that to find one is a big quest by itself) lead just to reply "pay nasty amount for our consultancy Sir!" and it does not look any better here....
    I am no novice on FMS/AMS platform, working with it more than 6 years throught many projects and I would not ask for some stupid questions which could be solved just by looking to documentation or could be solved by some performance eperience.
    I am really upset for this :/

  • Multiple AIR apps with the same local cache?

    Hi guys,
    Is it possible to create multiple AIR apps (for mobile & desktop) that can use the same local cache?
    For example: 2 apps for iPad will use the same data store (local cache). If we synchronize (with LCDS) and get all the data for 1 application, if we open the second application, can we access the data set from the other application?
    Thx!

    Hi Vikram,
    Eventhough I think it is techincally not possible, even if it was I would not recommend doing this. I think this is asking for problems and you can wait for the day that somebody messes up your production system, thinking it is DEV.
    I would use names like DEV_Oracle_BI_DW_Base and PRD_Oracle_BI_DW_Base, to clearly distinguish between the environments. But then again, I think Informatica forces you to use different names.

    Toin.

  • Multiple instances of APPS for the same database?

    Since upgrading to 11.5.10, we are not able to have multiple instances of APPS open for the same database. Prior to the upgrade we could which allowed a person to have 2 sessions open with different responsibilities, thus not having to switch each time.
    Is there a profile setting/patch etc which will allow this again?
    thanks

    In my case I think the company's main requirement was to have two separate environments (PROD and TEST) open at the same time which I think is fine.
    From memory (don't quote me on this) I don't think the old Personal Home Page is supported from 11.5.10.2 or something.
    I think another option was rather than have multiple sessions, add the two functions you are trying to access to the same menu/responsibility then you can open both at the same time.
    I just use favourites with one forms function from each responsibility and hardly click on or attempt to navigate the responsibility function list ... this mimics the old functionality.
    Also created a few "Copy Favourites" concurrent programs to copy favourites from one user to another or to all users of a responsibility.
    Re the old vs new feel - I know the feeling ;-) Ages ago I logged an SR to see if the dynamic tree portlet you get when you integrate with Portal could be used within core Apps, but wasn't possible per standard. Also thought of throwing together a greasemonkey script to achieve the same, but haven't gotten round to that ;-) and it wouldn't work with IE ... maybe one of the OAF gurus might read this and have a crack at it ?!

  • How can I run multiple instances of an app in netbeans?

    Hi,
    I would like to run multiple instances of an app in netbeans, this is essential when making GUI changes and you want to compare them with the older version.
    Thanks in advance,

    It is still true that Netbeans cannot launch the same project twice, even with the latest 7.2 and JavaFX Beta version. When trying to "run" the second instance, Netbeans tries to rebuild the project jar file but can't delete it because it is "locked" by the first instance.
    For JavaFX projects, I start one instance by double-clicking the jar file (in the project's dist folder), then use Netbeans to launch the second instance. For comparing your app's old vs. new screens, save the old app version by copying the project folder to another place and use the double-click jar to launch the old app, then proceed to revise the new app version and launch it under Netbeans. That's how you run one version "outside" another version.
