Reading locale system properties like set-variables of a windows Client

Hello,
is there a possibility to read locale system properties like set-variables of a windows Client?
We want to read path-Info and user-info. Can I perhaps user javascript?
Best regards
Oliver Prodinger

Hi Oliver,
This code will work (assuming the client approves running of ActiveX)
<html>
<script>
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var env = shell.Environment("process");
alert(env("COMPUTERNAME"));
alert(env("USERNAME"));
</script>
</html>
You can't really run it from WD, but what you can do is run this code from a portal component (DynPage/JspDynPage) that is running in the same page as your WD application and pass data by using portal eventing.
The portal component iview can have size of 1 pixel so it won't be seen...

Scheduled Task to run as Local System cannot access the Netlogon Share in Windows 8.1

I've created a Scheduled Task that is setup to run as the local System Account which uses cscript.exe to execute a VBScript residing on the Domain Netlogon Share. It works perfectly on Windows 7, but fails miserably on Windows 8.1. When I open a command
prompt as the System account and try to run the script from the Netlogon share manually, I get the following error:
CScript Error: Loading script \\<FullyQualifiedomainName>\Netlogon\xyz.vbs failed (The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server. ).
Is there something different I need to set in Windows 8 to get this to run?
Thank you!!
Eric Myers

Hi Eric,
What's the result of Arnav's question?
How did you set it? Please set it as the following steps:
1.Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler
2.In the Task Scheduler window double click your task, and on the "General" tab, under "Security options" section, click the "Change User or Group" button.
4.Make sure "From this location" is set to the local machine name (to change click "Locations" button and select the local computer name)
5.Type "SYSTEM" in the text box and press ok . Under "When running the task, use the following user account:" you should see "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM".

Add system properties (like _version, _createdAt) to existing Database

Hello,
I have a SQL-Database with 1200 entries. I created this database 2 years ago for an Windows phone 8 application. Now I started to develop a new Application and wanted to use this database in it. Now I wanted to use the Feature of OfflineSync.
The Problem seems the table Needs to have the columns _Version, _createdAt and _updatedAt, but my table doesn't have it. Is there any possibility to add this?
Thank you and best regards
Thomas

Are you using the .NET backend? If so, you can set up automapper to map to default values. The version field is optional, and for createdAt and updatedAt, you can hardcode a value. See this blog post for more details:

WebForms - Accessing Environment Variable on a Windows Client

Hi. We access a Windows Environment Variable using Client-Server Forms 6i. We do this as follows:
Tool_Env.GetVar('ALLUSERSPROFILE', myPath);
message(myPath);This returns the value 'c:\documents and settings\all users' on Windows XP.
This returns the value 'c:\programdata' on Windows 7.
We'd like to keep similar logic in this form once it's migrated to Web Forms. Is there a way to access this 'allusersprofile' environment variable (or any environment variable to determine whether the user is XP or Win7) from a web form running our UNIX server? Maybe somehow using WebUtil or something?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

WebUtil enable your form then do this:
message (CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Environment_string('allusersprofile'));To get the Windows version, do this:
message(CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Windows_Version);.

How can I get system properties?

Hello,
How can I get the system properties like %JAVA_HOME% in my java codes, for example, I want to print it like this.
System.out.println("%JAVA_HOME%");
but it doesn't work!
Please give me a hand!

To pass the Operating system environment variable to the Java "environment variables", you have to explicitely pass them on the command line eg.
java -Dmyjava.home=%JAVA_HOME% myClass
then, in your code use
String JAVA_HOME = System.getProperty ( "myjava.home" );regards,

Question about System Properties?

Can anyone shed some light apon this, if i have my midlet running in the background
i.e. display set to null.... can j2me read the state of the phone system?
Can j2me read any 'system property' like active/idle/keylocked??
..../fg

Well generically the answer is NO.
There is always a chance that some device manufacturer have supplied (if at all) some API to do this. But I am yet to heard about any device in the market to have this. Only what I heard that Nokia is in its way to supply some API like this with there Series 40 3'rd edition phones (ref. http://developers.sun.com/learning/javaoneonline/sessions/2006/TS-4447/index.html?). But they haven't yet announced anything on the release of it.

OBIEE 10g - Can I use logical SQL to set variable?

I am trying to set value of a session variable in the Advanced tab Prefix box of a request.
Assigment of absolute value like this is working good:
SET VARIABLE MYVAR=1;
Can I set the variable using logical SQL? Something like:
SET VARIABLE MYVAR = (SELECT table1.col1 from catname where table1.col2=1)
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can create a session variable or dynamic variable in the RPD and try using it in here at the Advanced Tab prefix.
But still check yourself if you need multiple values returning in the SQL statement.
Hope this is helpful/ useful.

How to disable system keys like alt+ctrl+delete...

I was wondering if there is any way to disable system keys like alt+ctrl+delete and windows logo key etc... I would like it to get disabled when ever my java application is visible and I want it in pure java.
Thanks,

Thanks for all your replies but hey I've seensome
program ( downloaded from google ) do suchthing.
What they do is some kinda image thing appearsin
the
full screen mode and do all the tasks what I'veopt
for. So, I'm confused what is being done in
those
programs.
Even if it is doable (Ctrl, Alt Delete I don't
think
will be, Windows Key should be) It will not via
Java,
but JNI. So you would be better off hunting overthe
MSDN.137256 speaks the truth. Ctrl-Alt-Delete is a
HARDWARE interrupt caught by the OS. In modern
Windows it launches a widget that can be used to
shutdown, logoff or run task manager. I have many
doubts about what the OP is saying.
All hail Sun.Indeed 3021. CAD is active even when Windows isn't. I experienced this recently, and never want to again.
All hail Sun. We love you ...

Is contextInitialized() blocked from setting System properties?

A certain 3rd party app we're using within a web app requires a specific System
property be set. Since it's a local path, we'd like to shy away from hardcoding
a -D into the startup script, and instead do it via a ServletContextListener and
set the property within contextInitialized(). In WL7.0sp2, it seems to hit the
line in our listener where it tries to set a System property, and nothing happens.
It doesn't seem to throw an exception, write anything to the console, nothing.
Is there a security setting that blocks contextInitialized() methods from setting
System properties? Is it a WL thing, or maybe a servlet spec thing? It works
if we use a dummy servlet set to pre-load, where we set the System property in
the servlet's init() method, but that's a little tackier than doing it in one
single context init listener.

Turns out the context-param that I was trying to use as the value of the System
property was null. When it sets a non-null value, it works. But apparently when
the value of the System property is null, you get the weird behaviour described
below: it's as if the tread just stops. I tried setting a breakpoint and stepping
through, but it immediately went into weblogic security and threading classes
and never returned. So now I'll have a new question about when context-params
load during deployment, but I'll post that separately.

Have you tried setting a break point and stepping?
Very strange.

Where do I read in the documentation the list of the system properties?

Yep. Sounds stupid. But it's true. I read in all these forums where and how to set the truststore and so on but it would be beautiful to understand it my own.
1. First I read setting the -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore in the VM arguments.
2. Then I find out the the -D is just for setting something like a static property.
3. Next I want to read about the system properties. Who, what and where the Java tries to get this system property. I do not find it.
What I find is great help in these forums and solving this kind of problems seems easy... I googled and the only place I found info about this is in a boulder.ibm.com site:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/rzaha/sysprop2.htm
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/rzaha/rzahajssesysprops.htm
I also found some info on a sun tutorial but not an official documentation. Do you know where to find it? It seems that my learning is always about finding the right place to find information and not guessing and trying.
Thanks!!

Thanks for your soon reply. Yeah, I found that but I really was expecting a more serious documentation.
I have to admit that it is documented. Yes. But I didn't expect to find that in middle of a guide. But more in a reference or in a specification document. It's inside the "Customization" and in a table, yes... But it's a guide!!
I like Java but something to worry about is the "too many - too less" documentation. Documentation is not clear enough and all the hundreds of options you have can make the programming with Java no good. It would sound like a good thing have a lot of choices and hundreds of places to look info for but I am a bit disappointed with that. It's not clear enough to find the right info.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!! I will have to live with that.

How to set JVM system properties in Oracle Portal ??

Hello Guys,
I want to set javax.net.ssl.trustStore="path to keystore" ,JVM system properties on oracle portal,
Like i want to configure my keystore with oracle portal so that my application can make a success full connection with back end using https.
i read the following note from one of the Oracle tech note,which says that
It is important that this system property is passed as a command line option to Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J). Setting the property in oc4j.properties will not help because the system property is read first before OC4J reads this file. Therefore, it is best to modify the <java-option> line in the OC4J_portal section of ORACLE_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml.
So, i made the required changes to OC4J_portal section of opmn.xml file as below
added value is shown in bold
<data id="java-options" value="-server -Xrs -Djava.security.policy=C:\oracle\OraPortal\j2ee\OC4J_Portal\config\java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx256m -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStrore=C:\keystore1 -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStrorePassword=password1"/>
Even after making these changes, my application not able to make connection using https.
Could u guys explain me, what things are going wrong or somethings else i need to do to make it work.
Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStrorePassword=password1"/>Hi,
if the above is an exact copy of the values you inserted then it looks like you have two typos in the command line parameters.
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStrore -> trustStore
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStrorePassword -> trustStorePassword

How do I set System properties within WL6.0?

I am setting WL6.0 up to have a startup class, but this class needs to
read system properties which have not yet been set. How do I set these
up within weblogic? I was able to get the startup class set up, but it
needs these system properties to continue.

Correct on all points. The one advantage of doing this in java is that you can more easily do more
complex things like accessing configuration information from a remote data store (like a database).
Dimitri Rakitine wrote:
These are not needed if you simply replace java ...lots of options... weblogic.Server with
java ...lots of options... startmyWLS in the script which starts WebLogic, but, on the other
hand, this solution is no different from simply adding -DmyProperty=myValue to the startup script
(I think that the ultimate goal is the ability to deploy(and redeploy!) components,
without any mods to the particular vendor's startup scripts of anything of that nature).

Make sure you run this from E:\bea\wlserver6.0., as it tries to read config.xml
config\[your-domain-name] from this
directory.

That won't work since it has to be 'outside' of the code. It's a service, and

And it has to be dynamic, since the properties will vary on evry installation.

Setting system properties for IDE JVM

I need to set system properties in order to turn tracing on for a JDBC driver being called by the IDE. Is there a way to do so?

Thanks for the reply, but I'm still not getting where I need to get. It appears that either the IDE runs a different copy of my jar file in some obscure location, or it runs with some sort of restricted permissions.
My driver does not seem to write to its trace file when running in the IDE. It works when I deploy things, but I need to trace the IDE since it does not appear to like something I'm doing.
I have put a line of code in the driver that writes to a file whenever an instance of the Driver Class is created, but that doesn't seem to get the job done, either. I even put this code in a static initializer. No go.
Any help greatly appreciated!
