Plug in calling third party functions like MS Office programs or other .exes

This is a question I wrongly asked in the scripting section of the forum.
I am a 100% beginner making sure that what I want to do is possible.
From a plug-in what is the best way to communicate/signal/start or to tell another program (would be great if it was Ms Access) that an event has happened.
Or some yes/no questions
If I can call a function from C++ generally, then I can call that function from within my plugin?
or
Can I call a MS Access function from a plug-in?
Can I call a self made .exe function from a plug-in?
Can I start some other self made .exe maybe from a plugin?
Thanks in advance again.

Hello,
As the plug-in is written in C++ you can use all C++ operations. So it's possible to call another functions and of course also to run an application.
Regards,
Joe

Call third party Executable file.

How to call third party executable file from SAP as a modal.
I have a drum filling system. I want to call executable file of drum system which take a weight from instrument and write a text file. After completion of this SAP will read that text file and write it to screen.

the best way to do it is using RFC (remote function call)
your drum tool should be compatible in order to do it
if not you can still send a command to operating system in order to execute your tool but this is a second choice

Launch the Console 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.)

Iphone and third party vendors like Bose and ihome

Do the third party vendors like Bose and iHome plan to make adapters so the iphone can be used in those systems?

Bose and iHome already work with iPhone. I have used both plenty of times. It helps to have airplane mode on so that there is no interference from data but they work fine now.

How to call third party validation service from self service page

Anyone can help me out on what needs to be done to call third party address validation service when button "Next" Personal Information page of Employee Self Service is clicked.
1. Writing Custom XXXAddressUpdateCO by extending AddressUpdateCO. XXXAddressUpdateCO's processFormRequest will validate the address using the third part service. This third party address validation service is in the DB where Oracle Apps is there.
To use this service from the controller, how can I set the new application module XXXAdressUpdateAMImpl where I will make call to this service and return the result yo Custom controller class.
Any suggestions?

If your page does not have LOVs, then you can extend and substitute the AM. Thereafter include the code to invoke the third party validation from the AM.
Otherwise you may need to write the invoking code in the Controller itself.
Hope you got some clues. Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks

Why fail to call third party funciton in DLL via JNI but workable in C++?

Hi,
I need someone help me here.
I like to call a function in third party A.dll which is from PowerBuilder App by Java.
So first I worte C++ code to call A.dll for the function to confirm: String feGetMM( String a);
I worte code like here in C++:
typedef char * (CALLBACK PROC_ADDR) ( const char);
const char* NAME = "feGetMM";
PROC_ADDR procAddr;
const char* passin = "123";
char * result;
HINSTANCE hinstLib = LoadLibrary( A.dll ); //load 3rd party library
if(hinstLib!=NULL) {
     //get the function address
     procAddr = (PROC_ADDR) GetProcAddress(hinstLib,NAME);
     if(procAddr!=NULL)
          result = (procAddr)( passin ); //call the function
I got right result.<<<<<<<<<<<<<Then second I worte the same as C++ in JNI code to generate B.dll
JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_xxxxx_feGetMM
(JNIEnv *env, jclass cl, jstring jstr) {
typedef char* (CALLBACK PROC_ADDR) ( const char);
const char* NAME = "feGetMM";
PROC_ADDR procAddr;
const char* result;
HINSTANCE hinstLib = LoadLibrary( A.dll ); //load 3rd party library
if(hinstLib!=NULL) {
     //get the function address
     procAddr = (PROC_ADDR) GetProcAddress(hinstLib,NAME);
const char* cstr = env->GetStringUTFChars(jstr,NULL);
     if(procAddr!=NULL)
          result = (procAddr)(cstr); //call the function
fails return NULL<<<<<<<<*the B.dll builded successfully, but fail to call for result. The java main() call is fine. The "result" is always NULL.
I worte the same as C++ code in JNI but why it fails in JNI code call by Java?
I will appreciate your help if you could reply it quickly.
Thanks !

The crashdump fragment tells me that your program has jumped to location 0. That's usually an uninitialized pointer

Thanks.

1) Sounds like you are trying to launch the third party from it's application main instead of using it as an API How does your code interact with it or is that not important?. You don't call a jar, you load a class. You could use a exec http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html to run the java launcher and pass it all it's command line stuff(But this may not be possible security wise via WebStart).
2) if it is launched in the same JVM and it calls a System.exit there is nothing you can do about your app closing too. It would need to be in another instance of the JVM
3) Under the resources tag you can have as many jar tags as needed.
    <resources>
        <j2se version="1.5.0" java-vm-args="-esa -Xnoclassgc"/>
        <jar href="/jsf-wita/apps/MathMLWebEditor.jar"/>
    </resources>

Calling third party application that needs the HttpServletRequest parameter

Hi,
I am doing the customizations to the Webcenter portal(since the issue is specific to ADF, I am posting the thread in this group) wherein I need to invoke a Java API provided by third party. That Java API expects the HttpServletRequest parameter.
To obtain the HttpServletRequest , I used the below code: -
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request =
+(HttpServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().getRequest();+
Besides, I need to set some parameters to the request, as the API needs those parameters to connect to the 3rd party application. Hence I have set the attributes as below: -
request.setAttribute("HttpProxyHost", "https://thirdparty.com");
request.setAttribute("HttpProxyPort", "2021");
request.setAttribute("HttpProxyUser", "abcd");
request.setAttribute("HttpProxyPass", "efgh");
The call to the API works fine when tested standalone. But after deploying this to the application, I see the following issue.
The ADF application interacts with other 3rd party applications too. Once the above code is executed, the application is trying to connect to the above host(https://thirdparty.com) only for the subsequent requests from any user of that application, even if the actual call is meant to connect to different hosts.
Can I create a custom servlet class to invoke the Java API? If so, how can I call that servlet API from my ADF managed bean?
Even if I create a custom servlet, the parameters that I set like HttpProxyHost will persist, right?
Please provide any suggestions
Thanks,

Hi,
1) what is the problem you think makes this specific to ADF?
2) Have you tried : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/urls/connecting.html
Your requirement of changing a request that is in process sounds weird to be honest

Calling third party java page from self sevice page

Hi,
Is it possible to call a third party java (html+java) form page (residing in separate web service server) which would take input from standard Oracle apps (OCO) self service OAF page?
The third party page would validate the fields sent by OAF page and then will provide the results which should be copied back into standard oracle OCO page (self service OAF page)
From How to open HTML page from OAF it looks like this is possible.
Can you please confirm ?
Regards,
Aneesh

Technically it will depend more on the third party system involved in the discussion and the way it is integrated. But in the simplest terms, url parameters will always work.

My photostream is not the same on all my devices. Is there a solution for having access to my photos on all my devices beside using a third party storage like dropbox to keep my photos from selfdestructing in 30 days?

Why can't I have all my photos saved in my photostream across devices? It seems like on my iPad that my photostream is only the pictures from the last 30 days, sometimes I need to text out pictures from my iPad that are older than 30 days or have to use older photos for presentations etc. (I'm a teacher). I have taken to uploading all my photos on dropbox so that I have access to all of them on all my devices but is there a way of still doing this with iCloud without having to save your photos in some third party storage? This is awful. I appreciate the return of the camera roll but a lot of times I don't have my phone with me in the classroom and need to be able to do all the things that I do on my phone on my iPad. Also do not have enough storage to store the photos on my iPad.

Try looking at the iCloud Photo Library.
See here: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support

Calling third party java page from Oracle form

Hi,
Is it possible to call a third party java (html+java) form page (residing in separate web service server) which would take input from standard Oracle form (OCO) page?
The third party page would validate the fields sent by form page and then will provide the results which should be copied back into standard oracle OCO form page.

Don't know if you can do this from Forms PL/SQL, but you should be able to write a stored procedure in the database that does it for you. The stored procedure could use the database package UTL_HTTP to make the HTTP request and receive the response.
Your custom stored procedure can be called from Forms PL/SQL. If you are caling to a tru web service, you can also look at the UTL_DBWS package which is a bit more high level for calling a web service, than the raw UTL_HTTP package.

D drive. Is that true and do you need to install third party apps like AppCleaner?

I read in a popular tech blog that when you uninstall an app in OS X it can leave behind files that eventually can bog down your hard drive. Therefore you might opt for a third party cleaner. Is this true and if not how do you completely uninstall an app in Mountain Lion?

The uninstaller is the best thing to use. However, there are only a few locations where the app can install something that can continue to affect your Mac. Those will only be installed with an App that is installed with an installer. Apps you drag and drop to the Applications folder or those from the App Store will not install these things.
Drag and Drop or App Store apps can be dragged to the Trash or uninstalled in the App Store.
The locations are in either your own user Library or in the main "all users" Library.
The folders are LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, and StartupItems. Additionally, there may be something in your Login Items in your account in the Users & Groups system preference.
Very rarely, apps can install kernel extensions which are low-level modifications that will often cause problems, especially when updating your OS.
The uninstallers should get rid of anything they put in those places.
Always know how to uninstall an app before you install it.
I'm not a fan of things like AppZapper, AppCleaner, or any other uninstaller program as they merely look for things the might be related to the program and attempts to delete it. I would hope that they are designed well enough to avoid deleting system files in its hunt and destroy methodology, but I wouldn't trust them.
You don't need anything that purports to tune up, clean up, optimize, protect, perform periodic maintenance, or any other similar claim.

Integration of third party application like Payware and Bank Wizard

Hi,
We have a scenario in which we are trying to integrate SAP XI 3.0 with 3rd Party application like Payware and Bank Wizard. We wish to know how should we go about doing it.
Payware has Payment Interface card which is used to communicate with SAP R/3. I am not aware how it does that. I wish to know how it can be integrated with SAP XI 3.0.
In case of Bank Wizard any kind of input is welcome.
If anybody can provide some inputs on the same it will be highly appreciated.

Hello
not sure about Payware, but [Unified Software|http://www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk] has an alternative to Bankwizard that can be easily integrated with SAP via XI/PI or as a simple web service proxy.
See their [SAP Packaged Service|http://www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk/products/sap/bankvalidator.html] information, or the official [SAP Packaged Service|http://www.sap.com/uk/services/consulting/portfolio/index.html] catalogue (look for UK Bank Validator Packaged service, page 32)
Hope this helps
George
