Multiple instances of parameter input form opens in Citrix environment - stumped

Post Author: debmilner
CA Forum: General
One of our clients is getting multiple parameter input forms, specifically 4 instances, opening when running a report. This only happens when she attempts to run the report when connected to the software using Citrix, but does not occur when running the report on her test server. She reports that other reports open only one parameter screen, as they should. There is only one instance of each parameter in the report.
We are calling the reports through our client app against a MS-SQL2005 database, and these are not web based. The report is written using a select statement in the Database - Command option, on a file.dsn connection. I cannot duplicate this behavior, and am totally stumped.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Joonas,
as this appears to be a portal problem it is better to post this question to the WebCenter forum WebCenter Portal as it is out of scope for core ADF

Multiple instances of Word launching when opening files from Explorer window

I am seeing an odd behavior with Word 2010 (32 bit) that I could not replicate in earlier versions of Word.
Here are the steps:
Note: When performing these steps, I am on a 32 bit Windows 7 machine. Word is not running yet, and the Task Manager dialog is open with the processes sorted in reverse alpha order so that WinWord.exe will appear at the top.
1. Go to a folder containing a set of word documents or templates (all are in either .docx or .dotx format) in Windows Explorer.
2. Select a group of files (I am selecting 4 .docx files in my tests).
3. Right-click and select Open.
4. Four instances of WINWORD.EXE appear in the Task Manager (one of them then goes away, leaving only three instances running, but I think that's beside the point).
Could someone shed light on why this is happening with Word 2010 and if there's anything that can be done to make it "behave" and open only one instance?
PS - The templates contain no code, and no add-ins are loaded at the time that I perform these steps. Also, all Word and Office updates have been installed on the machine.
Thanks

Koero, did you try the registry hack proposed in this forum?
I started getting multiple instances of Word 2010 two days ago in Windows 7 on my company PC after a reboot following a Windows updates pushed out by the IT department.
This also happened immediately after a Windows update on May
27, 2014, but somehow I was able to stop that behavior then. That fix happened after I restored a old copy of Normal.dotm but evidently that
was not the solution because restoring that copy did not fix the problem today.
The fix suggested by
peebs7384 in this forum on April 19, 2012 of changing the "Lay
out this document" setting did not work on my PC.
One support person who has both the 2010 and 2013 versions indicated that he also gets multiple instances with 2010 but not with 2013.
I plan to ask my IT department to attempt a fix tomorrow and will suggest that they try registry hack posted in this forum by
kit_jj on Aug 16, 2012 (based on Pierre's posting) (thanks
kit_jj and Pierre).
By the way,
kit_jj's posting has only 1 vote & I would had hoped to see more votes. Now that I look more closely I see that this solution was "Proposed
as answer by kit_jj" himself. At least others have posted comments that indicate that fixes posted by
kit_jj & Pierre have worked (at least partially).
Any ideas as to why this started happening again?

Multiple instances of programs appear with "Open With" in Finder

When I right click on an item in Finder, and go to Open With, I'm getting multiple instances of programs (screen capture below). How can I fix this?
This just started, and I recently started using Carbon Copy Cloner to back up my drives (my iMac has two internal drives, an SSB 256 GB hard drive and a standard 2 TB hard drive). But I have CCC set to dismount the drives after each backup, and the extra instances of programs are still there even when the drives are properly dismounted.

That's LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the prompt to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

How to open multiple instances of same form thru menu items

i'm not able to open another instance of the form.....if i want to open multiple instances of same form ...what should i do???

Hi Shenaz,
To open multiple instances of the same form you need to set a different FormUID to each form you open.
So lets say your FormType is MyFormXPTO. You need can set the FormUID as MyFormXPTO_1, MyFormXPTO_2, and so on.
If you need a code samples, take a look at this post.

How can I avoid opening the several instances of the same form?

Hi Friends,
I have a MDI form with a menu. When open a form by clicking the menu twice, it is opening two instances of the same form. It is eating up all resources of my memory.
How can I avoid opening the multiple instances of the same form? I want the activate the form which is already open instead of opening the new instance of the same.
Anybody knows solution please help me.
Thanks
Gopinath Kona

Hi,
U must be using the built-in OPEN_FORM in your code. Instead of that, check it using the following code....
IF ID_NULL(FIND_FORM('form_name')) THEN
OPEN_FORM('form_name with the path');
ELSE
GO_FORM('form_name'); --shifts the control into the form which is already open.
END IF;
hope it helps...

Open several instances of the update Form - session state handling problem

Hi,
I have a page with a classic report region on a database table and an other page that has an update form region for updating the records on the previous page. The application navigates from the page containing the classic reports region to the update page via the primary key link displayed in the reports region.
Users tend to open the multiple instances of the update form by right clicking in the browser the primary key links in the classic reports region. I couldn't pinpoint the problem yet, but I have 'data overwrite issues' i.e. records are updated with form item values that are entered in the other - concurrently opened - update forms.
Is this the 'normal' way of doing things? I think the problem is that APEX keeps track of only one single instance of any item on a page. If the same page is opened several times in the same browser, APEX updates the state of the page and items within with the one on the most recently opened page or submitted page.
Can I enable users to use the application as they are currently doing, i.e. by opening the update form several times in the same browser concurrently and still make APEX to handle this?
TIA,
Tamas

I would also argue that the amazon.com example is not entirely valid. Opening your products in multiple tabs and hitting "buy" on all of them sounds analogous to multiple "insert"s in our Oracle world...every item is probably not in your cart and so it's possible to stuff three new items into your cart with no conflicts.
The sticky issue is when you are editing existing data and I am not quite seeing Amazon as an example either of working in multiple windows.
I went to amazon.com and signed in. I did the following:
1. Home page came up with suggested items of children's books. I right-clicked on a book (book B) and opened it in a new window and clicked "add to cart". In my original window I clicked on a book (book A) and added it to my cart.
2. I closed the new window I had opened.
3. In the original window in which I was dealin with Book A, I clicked "View cart". It had books A and B in it. I didn't have a separate shopping cart for Book A and a separate shopping cart for Book B! Apex would do the same thing.
4. Now looking at my cart, I hit Ctrl + N and opened a duplicate window. In one window I changed the quantity on Book A to 2 and on the second window I changed the quantity on Book A to 3. When all was said and done, I still had ONE cart and Book A with 3 was the prevailing record. What is it that they would expect Apex to do with a similar situation?
What is it your users are doing in their amazon.com example that is theoretically different than what Apex supports?

Applying Service Pack on multiple instance SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster and Standalone.

Friends,
Its my first time I am applying Service pack to both Standalone and Clustered SQL 2008 R2 servers. I have multiple instances running on both stand alone and Clustered environment. I don't know how to apply pack with multiple instances. Do I need to apply
the service pack each instance one by one or I can just run the pack to each node of cluster and each box of stand alone server? Will I get any multi instance selection option during the installation process so that I can select multiple instances at once??

When installing service pack for multiple instances in a standalone machine, you just run the installer and it lists all the instances eligible for the update. You could do it one by one or do it at the same time. Doing it at the same time saves time and
energy. If you selected multiple instances then you dont have to do anything else.
In case of cluster, if you have multiple instances then you need to be little careful.
Eg: Assume you have a 2 node cluster Node 1 and Node 2. Two instances Instance 1 active on Node 1 and Instance 2 active on Node 2. What I would do in this case is to first failover any one instance to the passive node. Assume I failed over Instance 2 to
Node 1. Now Node 1 is active node for both instance 1 and instance 2 and Node 2 is passive for both instances. At this point I run the service pack on Node 2. Once patching is done, I reboot the node and then failover the instaces one by one to Node
2. At this point both instances 1 and 2 would get upgraded and will be active in Node2. Now Node 1 is passive and so run the update there. Once the service pack is installed, reboot and then fail back Instance 1 back to Node 1. Note: I would also failover
Instance 2 to Node 1 just to confirm that failover works completely after service pack update.

Opening multiple instances of the same vi

Hi,
I am having trouble opening multiple instances of the same vi.
This vi that I am trying to create can be used like a message display window to display numbers, strings etc (just like labVIEW's display message control except that this vi will update the displayed controls every scan). So for example, I will like to have a subvi, lets call it popup.vi, where I wire in three inputs from my main vi (2 strings and 1 number). Now in my main.vi I have 2 numeric controls Num1 and Num2 with their KeyFocus property nodes.
The intention is that when I select Num1 or Num2 numeric control with my mouse the KeyFocus boolean becomes true and the popup.vi logic kicks in. Meaning that the popup.vi runs and opens its front pane
l displaying the two strings and one numeric value from the main.vi.
The problem arises when I want to open and run multiple instances of the popup.vi.
So when I click on Num1 with my mouse I want the popup.vi to open its front panel with a set of strings and number displayed. At the same time I would want to click on Num2 control and open another instance of the popup.vi with another set of strings and numeric value.
Also, I saved the popup.vi as popup.vit but for some reason vi server will not open the popup.vit. I get a message that popup.vit is already in memory - cannot load.
I have attached a sample of the main.vi and popup.vi program.
Please let me know if you need further clarifications.
I appreciate your help in this matter.
Thanks
Nish

You have to clone the VI. You say you have tried to use the .vit way of cloning...but in the example there is no use of VIT and the VI is called statically. If you want to open multiple instances of the same VI and the VI has a user interface (or needs to be a unique instance of the VI every time even though it's called the same place in the diagram, not the case here though) you need to do it dynamically, i.e. with an invoke node.
There is actually a problem doing just that, it causes a memory leak...but that won't be a problem unless the VI is called frequently / the software will be running over very long periods of time. You can see an example of it here (attached to my reply to the question):

Is there any version of Indesign that allows to open multiple instance at the same time

I am using Indesign CS3 to generate the bulk reports automatically(programmatically) using Adobe indesign library . One of the key limitation to this tool is it allows to open only one instance at a time unlike word where multiple instances can be opened at the same time. Is there any adobe indesign too version desktop/server which allows to open multiple instances at the same time. Any help on is appreciated. Thanks.

@PeterG
You said "You might want to examine the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA) for any prohibition against using these two instances at the same time with the same license; the license does permit two installs for the same user that are not used simultaneously." I thought that meant you had read the EULA. It's pretty unambiguous on that point.
For everyone's edification about multiple installations and server use with a standard license here's the relevant text:
2. Software License.
If you obtained the Software and any required serial number(s) from Adobe or one of its authorized
licensees and as long as you comply with the terms of this agreement, Adobe grants you a non-exclusive
license to install and use the Software in a manner consistent with its design and Documentation and as
further set forth below. See Section 16 for specific provisions related to the use of certain products and
components, for example font software, Acrobat, After Effects, Adobe Presenter, Contribute, Adobe
Device Central, Flash Player, Flash Builder, and Adobe Runtimes.
2.1 Limited Use. The Software, or portions of the Software, may allow installation and use without a serial
number. If so, you may install but not use such non-serialized Software on any number of Computers as
part of an organizational deployment plan. Further, you may install and use such non-serialized Software
on any number of Computers for demonstration, evaluation and training purposes only and only if any
Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial and
non-production purposes. You may not use such non-serialized Software after any applicable time-out
period has ended, unless you input a valid serial number under Section 2.2. ACCESS TO AND USE OF
ANY OUTPUT FILES CREATED WITH SUCH NON-SERIALIZED SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT
YOUR OWN RISK.
2.2 General Use. You may install and use one copy of the Software only on the Permitted Number of your
compatible Computers into which you enter a valid serial number.
2.3 Distribution from Server. You may copy an image of the Software onto Computer file server(s) within
your Internal Network for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto Computers within
the same Internal Network for use as permitted by Section 2.1 and 2.2.
2.4 Server Use. You may install the Software on Computer file server(s) within your Internal Network only
for use of the Software initiated by an individual from a Computer within the same Internal Network only
as permitted by Section 2.2. The total number of users (not the concurrent number of users) able to use the
Software on such Computer file server(s) may not exceed the Permitted Number.
By way of example, the foregoing does not permit you to install or access (either directly or through
commands, data or instructions) the Software: (a) from or to a Computer not part of your Internal Network,
(b) for enabling Web hosted workgroups or services available to the public, (c) by any individual or entity
to use, download, copy or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so
by Adobe, (d) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the Permitted
Number of users, or (e) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server
processing).
2.5 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.6, the
primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.2 (“Primary User”) may
install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a
Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not
used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
2.6 Restrictions on Secondary Use by Volume Licensees. If the Software was obtained under an Adobe
volume license program (currently known as Adobe Open Options) by any licensee other than an
educational volume licensee, the second copy of the Software made under Section 2.5 must be used solely
for the benefit and business of that volume licensee. For more information about secondary use by volume
licensees, please visit our Web Site at http://www.adobe.com/go/open_options.
There is also language stating that if you have a dual boot or other system capable of running more than one OS you will need a separate license for each platform if you want to run the software on more than one.

How to open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2

Hi,
How do I open multiple instance of Adobe Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2. I have two forms and I need to compare them. Another situation is I want to correct/copy the contents by keeping the old and new one under the view simultaneously. I also want to take advantage of multiple monitors
The MDI style windows with Ctl+Tab to switch between documents is not helping me in the context explained above
adobe Acrobat work on multi instance if I type acrobat.exe /n;
but if I type "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe" /n;, its just opening the existing livecycle instance
please help

I don't think you can run two instances.
But you can stretch the main application window across both monitors and tile the two documents inside the main window.

"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.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. May your loins be blessed with fertility.

Block Multiple Instance Of Form

Hai all,
In forms 6i, can we block the opening of a single form in multiple instances in the same application?
Regards,
Manu

Easy. Use the database.
In the new-form-instance trigger, obtain a lock on an object. If you can't get the lock, then the form is already running so issue and exit.
Since the PL/SQL engine in forms 6i is older, I believe I solved this with a stored procedure in the database:
function obtain_lock return boolean is
l_row mytable%rowtype;
begin
select * into l_row
from mytable
for update no_wait;
return true;
exception when others then -- this is poor, catch the exact error
return false;
end;
The trick then, is to be careful with commit/rollback. If you complete your transaction, someone else can get in the form, so you may want to be careful and either only commit/rollback when user is leaving the form or be quick about re-obtaining your lock any time you commit/rollback.

How do I prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

On the site oldnavyweekly.com there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?
From my analysis it is NOT:
1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.
2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.
3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.
It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?
Thanks!

you're welcome.
actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close. if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.
