Reading Data in Console

Hi People!
I am developing a standalone application using Java. My application is running in console.(command prompt).
So, I want to read Ctrl+C when user tries to break the application in console.
I have to read it in Java when the user presses Ctrl+C and store it in a string. Thats it.
Please solve this ASAP. It is urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
BalaChandu

This question has been asked at least monthly and you will get a decent answer by searching. My thinking on this is that you can't do this with the standard java console, but there are alternatives to the standard console that may take in single character input.
Please solve this ASAP. It is urgent. never, never, NEVER say "solve this ASAP" or "it is urgent" in this forum. It is guaranteed to get your flamed. Your saying it is urgent means that you think:
* your post is more important than any other post in this forum. Let me assure you that it is not.
* YOU are more important than any other person in this forum. Again, let me assure you that you are not.
* that the volunteers in this forum should stop what they are doing, stop their work, their play with their families, their lives because we think that your problem is a matter of life or death to us. Again, let me assure you that we do not.
Good luck in your coding

Error reading data from the MS Dos Console.

Hi,
We have a legacy application which is launched via a 3rd-party Telnet Server - the app acts as a remote shell for an RF device. The system has been functioning for many years but now we have migrated to Server 2012 the system no longer launches.
The RF device successfully connects to the telnet server, logs-in with embedded credentails but drops the connection when the shell application is launched.
The server has the following Application error
Error reading data from the MS Dos Console.
The pipe has been ended. 109 (0x6d)
The application can successfully be launched locally outside of the shell on the server. The error is reproducable across RF devices and desktop telnet connections.
The firewalls are off.
Are there some additional protections in Server 2012 which would cause the pipe-based link to be stopped when launching the exe? Am I missing something? The 3rd-party telnet server is certified for Server 2012.
Thnak you

I'd ask in the
Windows Server General Forum, or ask the third party vendor.

How to read data using SQLGetData from a block, forward-only cursor (ODBC)

Hi there. I am trying to read data a small number of rows of data from either a Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server (whichever is being used) as quickly as possible. I have connected to the database using the ODBC API's and have run a select
statement using a forward-only, read-only cursor. I can use either SQLFetch or SQLExtendedFetch (with a rowset size of 1) to retrieve each successive row and then use SQLGetData to retrieve the data from each column into my local variables. This
all works fine.
My goal is to see if I can improve performance incrementally by using SQLExtendedFetch with a rowset size greater than 1 (block cursor). However, I cannot figure out how to move to the first of the rowset returned so that I can call SQLGetData to retrieve
each column. If I were using a cursor type that was not forward-only, I would use SQLSetPos to do this. However, using those other cursor types are slower and the whole point of the exercise is to see how fast I can read this data. I can
successfully read the data using a block forward only cursor if I bind each column to an array in advance of the call to SQLExtendedFetch. However, that has several drawbacks and is documented to be slower for small numbers of rows. I really
want to see what kind of speed I can achieve using a block, forward-only, read-only cursor using SQLGetData to get each column.
Here is the test stub that I created:
' Create a SELECT statement to retrieve the entire collection.
selectString = "SELECT [Year] FROM REAssessmentRolls"
' Create a result set using the existing read/write connection. The read/write connection is used rather than
' the read-only connection because it will reflect the most recent changes made to the database by this running
' instance of the application without having to call RefreshReadCache.
If (clsODBCDatabase.HandleDbcError(SQLAllocStmt(gDatabase.ReadWriteDbc, selectStmt), gDatabase.ReadWriteDbc, errorBoxTitle) <> enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS) Then
GoTo LoadExit
End If
Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_CONCURRENCY, SQL_CONCUR_READ_ONLY), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_CURSOR_TYPE, SQL_CURSOR_FORWARD_ONLY), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Call clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetStmtOption(selectStmt, SQL_ROWSET_SIZE, MAX_ROWSET_SIZE), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
If (clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExecDirect(selectStmt, selectString, Len(selectString)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle) <> enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS) Then
GoTo LoadExit
End If
' Cursor through result set. Each time we fetch data we get a SET of rows.
sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExtendedFetch(selectStmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0, rowsFetched, rowStatus(0)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Do While (sqlResult = enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS)
' Read all rows in the row set
For row = 1 To rowsFetched
If rowStatus(row - 1) = SQL_ROW_SUCCESS Then
sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLSetPos(selectStmt, row, SQL_POSITION, SQL_LOCK_NO_CHANGE), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Call clsODBCDatabase.SQLGetShortField(selectStmt, 1, assessmentRollYear(row - 1))
Console.WriteLine(assessmentRollYear(row - 1).ToString)
End If
Next
' If the rowset we just retrieved contains the maximum number of rows allowed, there could be more data.
If rowsFetched = MAX_ROWSET_SIZE Then ' there could be more data
sqlResult = clsODBCDatabase.HandleStmtError(SQLExtendedFetch(selectStmt, SQL_FETCH_NEXT, 0, rowsFetched, rowStatus(0)), selectStmt, errorBoxTitle)
Else
Exit Do ' no more rowsets
End If
Loop ' Do While (sqlResult = enumODBCSQLAPIResult.SQL_SUCCESS)
The test fails on the call to SQLSetPos. The error message I get is "Invalid cursor position; no keyset defined". I have tried passing SET_POSITION and also SET_REFRESH. Same error. There has to be a way to do this!
Thank you for your help!

How to read data from success function

Hi,
In the success function of my POST method, I want to read a property from the data parameter. This is my code:
success : function(data, response) {
                                console.log(data);
                                alert("succes");
In the JS console:
I'd like to read the Guid property.
Thanks,
RW

Please refer to the snippet..
var sServiceUrl = "http://services.odata.org/V2/(S(ryt5lxvehordgneie5t10xpe))/OData/OData.svc/" ;
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel(sServiceUrl, true ) ;
var oData = {
    "ID" : 93 ,
    "Name" : 'Test',
"Price" : '3.3'
var fnSUCCESS = function(mResponse) {
    debugger ;
    console.log("SUCCESS", mResponse);
console.log('ID' + mResponse.ID);
var fnERROR = function(mResponse) {
          console.log("ERROR", mResponse);
oModel.create('/Products',oData,null,fnSUCCESS,fnERROR);
Once you use JSON format, things become pretty straight forward.
You can use mResponse.<PROPERTY NAME> to access the data.
In your case <PROPERTY NAME> will be 'Guid'
In short, if you are inside your success method, either you can use data.Guid or response.data.Guid to access it the Guid property

Service reads data but Bpel process does not start

i have a very simple project. I have db2(as400) adapter and it reads data, i will receive data, transfom and send to oracle database. I deployed the project successfuly but when instance start i see the service reads the data but bpel process does not start and and there is no error. At the flow chart there is only readAS400 partnerlink, there is no bpelprocess. In the partnerlink i am usin polling, i read the data's with 1 and update to 2. It reads but dont update to 2.
In deploy step and when instance starts there is no errors. But when i am deploying i get a warning but i dont know it's related with this situation.
(Warning: property "activationAgent.readAs400.className" may not be understood by BPEL component BPELProcessEqpType - it will likely be ignored.)
Do you have any suggestion ? Thanks in advance.

check the recovery console, the bpel process possibly is going into manual recovery,
Another thing you might wanna try is using checkpoints in your process..
also, instead of getting the db adapter to instantiate the process, try a simpler process just to see if the db adapter is working or not..
A normal process, which you manually instantiate from em console, with the db adapter in it after the recevie activity

Sandboxd deny file-read-data to storeuid, appleeventsd, iconservicesagen... WHY?

In my console on the latest Yosemite, I get tons of spam from sandboxd where it is deny file-read-data from Apple's own processes: storeuid, appleeventsd, iconservicesagen, etc. Then there is deny file-issue-extension to com.apple.Safari.SearchHelper. What the heck is going on? Why is sandboxd denying Apple's own processes in the system? This computer is running so much slower than it should. Card readers don't even work with it anymore. We just put in a brand new hard drive and freshly upgraded to Yosemite.
Then there are all these BUG in process suhelperd: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external). About 100 of those appear. Then mdworker says:
code validation failed in the process of getting signing information: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-67062 "The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -67062.)"
Can someone please make sense out of all this? How do I get these bugs, errors, and crap to STOP?

I feel your pain. I too have posted with a zillion errors in the log. Safari/Yosemite is now a complete and utter mess.

I really thought I would never look at MS Windows again, but this is begging to prove me wrong. My MBP is now unusable. Tks Apple

JavaConsole Error: Problem reading data from server

We are getting this error on java console on a page:

Any suggestions on this why it is happening?

Manisha,
I think JVM(Java Virtual Machine) is trying to access something at network level and it cant able to find it.Or any new patches of java is installed.
Or may be due to IIS or Applet,Don't know exactly.

View Object to read data from a java file

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4 and ADF-BC in my application.
For one of my view objects , I want the data to be read from a java file which exposes some method to return a collection.
I cannot use a static view object in this case.
Please suggest the best way to implement this requirement.Basically build a view object that should read data from a java file.
Thanks,
Praveen

Depending on your use case you can either use a programmatic VO or directly expose the JV class as a data control.

Read data from SAP R/3 Class-System

Hello,
first of all sorry when I posted this into the wrong subforum, but I wasn't sure about that. My Question is how to read data from the Classystem I have specified in my ABAP report.
The goal is to read data from my individual class-system as well as data from MM and write them to a table that is to be read by another report. But right now I can't find information about the class system and abap. Maybe you know some tutorials or blogs about right that topic you can suggest?

What class system have you specified in your report?
Normally a class can be used by declaring a variable of type of the class in question, if this class can be instantiated this is. If your class can't be instantiated, but it has only class methods, you can call this method directly.
But there is a lot more to this ABAP Object Oriented Programming, than just this short explanation. Search on SDN for some ABAP OO Tutorials.

The excel sheet is saved in local disk c.
can anybody help me with this.How i need to start specialy to read the data from excel sheet saved in local disk c.

Hi
If you can convert the excel to a csv format, then it can be simply query from DB Creating Oracle External Tables. Best part is that you may still change the CSV using EXCEL.
Following action Points can be adopt;
*1. Convert Excel File to a csv. File Save as CSV*
*2. Create Oracle Directory* ( This has to be the location of your excel file )
SQL> Create directory mydir as 'C:\testdb'; --- "testdb" is the location folder in win for your excel sheet.
*3. Create the External Table*
SQL> create table my_ext_tab (
Field1 Datatype,
Field2 Datatype,
Field3 Datatype,
Field4 Datatype,
Field5 Datatype
Organization external
(type oracle_loader default directory mydir
access parameters (records delimited by newline fields terminated by ',')
location ('my_ext_tab.csv'))
reject limit 100;
*4. Now you can query the table "my_ext_tab"*
Select * from "my_ext_tab";
Please avoid the reformat the data column inside the spreadsheet (CSV).

Error reading data from CLOB column into VARCHAR2 variable

Hi all,
Am hitting an issue retrieving data > 8K (minus 1) stored in a CLOB column into a VARCHAR2 variable in PL/SQL...
The "problem to be solved" here is storing DDL, in this case a "CREATE VIEW" statement, that is longer than 8K for later retrieval (and execution) using dynamic SQL. Given that the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement can take a VARCHAR2 variable (up to 32K(-1)), this should suffice for our needs, however, it seems that somewhere in the process of converting this VARCHAR2 text to a CLOB for storage, and then retrieving the CLOB and attempting to put it back into a VARCHAR2 variable, it is throwing a standard ORA-06502 exception ("PL/SQL: numeric or value error"). Consider the following code:
set serveroutput on
drop table test1;
create table test1(col1 CLOB);
declare
cursor c1 is select col1 from test1;
myvar VARCHAR2(32000);
begin
myvar := '';
for i in 1..8192 loop
myvar := myvar || 'a';
end loop;
INSERT INTO test1 (col1) VALUES (myvar);
for arec in c1 loop
begin
myvar := arec.col1;
dbms_output.put_line('Read data of length ' || length(myvar));
exception when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Error reading data: ' || sqlerrm);
end;
end loop;
end;
If you change the loop upper bound to 8191, all works fine. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the database character set -- we've recently converted our databases over to UTF-8, for Internationalizion support, and that seems to have changed underlying assumptions regarding character processing...?
As far as the dynamic SQL issue goes, we can probably use the DBMS_SQL interface instead, with it's EXECUTE procedure that takes a PL/SQL array of varchar2(32K) - the only issue there is reading the data from the CLOB column, and then breaking that data into an array but that doesn't seem insurmountable. But this same basic issue (when a 9K text block, let's say, turns into a >32K block after being CLOBberred) seems to comes up in other text-processing situations also, so any ideas for how to resolve would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any tips/hints/ideas...
Jim

For those curious about this, here's the word from Oracle support (courtesy of Metalinks):
RESEARCH
========
Test the issue for different DB version and different characterset.

--Testing the direct assignment method.
declare
cursor c1 is select col1, length(col1) len1 from test1;
myvar VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
for arec in c1 loop
myvar := arec.col1;
--DBMS_LOB.READ(arec.col1, arec.len1, 1, myvar);
dbms_output.put_line('Read data of length: ' || length(myvar));
end loop;
end;
The following are the summary of the test results:
===================================
1. If the database characterset is WE8ISO8859P1, then the above direct assignment
method(myvar := arec.col1;) works for database version 9i/10g/11g without any
errors.
2. If the database characterset is UTF8 or AL32UTF8, then the above direct assignment method(myvar := arec.col1;) will generate the "ORA-06502:
PL/SQL: numeric or value error" when the length of the CLOB data is greater
than 8191(=8K-1). The same error can be reproduced across all database versions
9i/10g/11g.
3. Using DBMS_LOB.READ(arec.col1, arec.len1, 1, myvar) method to read CLOB data into a VARCHAR2 variable works for both WE8ISO8859P1 and UTF8
characterset and for all database versions.
So - it seems as I'd surmised, UTF8 changes the way VARCHAR2 and CLOB data is handled. Not too surprising, I suppose - may you all be lucky enough to be able to stay away from this sort of issue. But - the DBMS_LOB.READ workaround is certainly sufficient for the text processing situations we find ourselves in currently.
