DataInputStream.close() is blocking while closing the thread's stream.Why?

I have a DataInputStream in my thread as
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(System.in);
I have written a method for closing that DataInputStream as
public void closeStream(){
dis.close();
But when I call closeStream method from my program as
t.closeStream();
it blocks the program execution. I have to press 'Enter' to continue.
Why is it so?
Thanx in Advance.

You're creating the DataInputStream around the standard input. Assuming you haven't reassigned System.in, I'm pretty sure that you can't close it. At least, you shouldn't be able to close the standard input.

Regarding closing the cursor

Hi,
I've one doubt. If we've opened any cursor in pl/sql session, & did not close it during code run, is there any chance that the cursor will remain open?
My problem here is as below:
We're calling a pl/sql package through a java based application, & the connection will automatically close oracle session after 1/2 hour inactivity. But the oracle session is not getting closed. Probability is that the oracle session is still active(which may be because of open cursor)
Inside a package, a open cusror call was made, but there was no close cursor statement. Can this statement create any problem like above or is there any other possibility.
Thanks
Deepak

The issue seems to be a concern that rows listed in V$OPEN_CURSOR are currently open. My experience is that that may not necessarily be the case.
While rows in V$OPEN_CURSOR were probably open sometime in the recent past, there's no guarantee they are open RIGHT NOW. Sometimes entries get left in the V$ tables long after I think they should be aged out (this morning I found a last executed time in V$SYSSTAT from 2 days ago). Conversely, sometimes I cannot find things I am looking for that are running right now.
I agree with Rob's assessment that if you're not using a cursor it needs to be closed to release system resources.

Hi,
Here u can make use of Exit Plug.In the window create an outbound plug of Exit type with Interface Check box ticked along with an importing parameter CLOSE_WINDOW of type boolean.
Also create and inbound plug in the window and in the handler methos of this plug,fire the exit plug as,
wd_this->fire_<exitplugname>( close_window = 'X').
Now in ur view,while selecting via lead selection,on the action fire the outbound plug of the view that is linked with the exit plug of the window.
Now while ur record is selected,the outbound plug of the view calls the exit plug and in turn coding inside the hander is executed and the applicaton window is closed.
Hope it helps u!!!!!!!!
Thanks,

Zen neeon play for sure compatibility why was the thread closed/delete

About a week ago a thread asking why the neeon didn't support play for sure compatibility was on the forum.
For some reason this has now been deleted and I would like to know why. Deleting that thread has to be a very childish attempt to silence a customer complaint about a product, have you ever heard of consumer rights?

Closing all child threads when closing the stage

I have multiple instances of child threads which are started and should continue to execute in till the applications exits.
I have classes which extends Task and I create the threads as
new Thread(object of the class).start();
when it comes to interrupting/stoping (dont know which one is correct, please let me know) the threads which should be done inside
primaryStage.onCloseOperation(){}
here i want to end all child threads but since my threads are spreaded across different classes, my not having a clear picture how to achieve this.
I know there is some designing problem, in my application, when it comes to threads, but I am not able to figure out how to resolve out.

Use thread.setDaemon(true) Thread (Java Platform SE 7 )
I suggest to use the Executor Framework and a ThreadFactory, to only need to create a daemon thread once.
Something like this:
Executor executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool(new ThreadFactory() {
            @Override
            public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
                Thread thread = new Thread(r);
                thread.setDaemon(true);
                return thread;
And then use it like this:
executor.execute(yourTaskOrRunnable);
When there are only daemon threads running, the JVM will halt and also stop all daemon threads.

Closing the Report Viewer causes the application to hang

Hi,
Since a few days we are experiencing some problems with the Crystal Reports viewer. When closing a report viewer in our application, the application hangs for a few minutes. The strange thing is, that it only seems to happen on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 Server.
Our application with the integrated Crystal Report Viewer is running on 2 application servers :
- Windows 2008 Server, versie 6.0 Build 6002, Service Pack 2
- Windows 2008 R2 Server versie 6.1, Build 7600
Crystal Reports version installed on both servers : 12.01.0007.1144
On the 2008 Server, the application works correctly.
On the 2008 R2 server, the application hangs for about 5 minutes while closing the report preview window.
Both server have exactly the same version of Crystal Reports and the same application version.
I'm having the same issue on a Windows 7 x64 (6.1 Build 7600).
I've installed all updates and hotfixes up to SP3 Fix Pack (12.3.3.812 / 12.3.2003.812) but I'm still having the same problem.
We didn't have this problem until a few days ago, so I assume it has something to do with a windows update which only affects Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.
Please advice us with a possible workaround, because our application is distributed to a few thousand users ...
Some more debug info :

String Url;
try {
Url = WDURLGenerator.getWebResourceURL(wdComponentAPI.getComponent().getDeployableObjectPart(),"close.html");
wdThis.wdGetAtpEmpDetailsWinInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugExitPlug(Url);
} catch (Exception e) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Technical Exception occured in the application : " + e.toString(), true);
4.Create a html page called u201Cclose.htmlu201D with Javascript code for closing a browser window.

Manivannan P

Hi Manivannan p,
1.Create a Button called Close.
2.Create an action for this button.
3. In the event handler for this button, write the following code
You can try this
public void onActionClose(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
//@@begin onActionClose(ServerEvent)
WDPortalEventing.fire("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "CloseWindow", "");
//@@end
This will help you closing the window with out Popup
Here we are calling a "Portal Event" called " CloseWindow" to close the windoe
Get back if you have any questions
Thanks & Regards

->Make the type of Outbound plug to Exit Type.
->Add URL of type String as a parameter to the outbound plug of Window.
->Do remember to add Component Name in the Properties Tab of View ( othervs Calling Outbound plug of window from view wont b possible ).
To open a new URL with closing the previous one write this Code in OnAction of Button : ( this Code can be get from Code Wizard too ).

I hope it helps.
Thanx.

Run time error while closing the CRM Order using BAPI

Hi Experts,
Need your invaluable suggestions here.Apologies for the lengthy mail, intention is to give clear idea of the issue.
I am facing an issue while closing the CRM orders. According to our business process, when an issue is solved we will keep the order in resolved status only. We will not directly close the order from the CRM tool, instead we have created a custom program for the same purpose.
For the custom program we will give input as the order number and execute it, this will close the order.
Here close the order means assigning it to Close status as well assign the reason code.
We have created some reason codes for closed status.
So when the program is run the Order moves from resolved status to closed status along with reason code.
But of late we are facing some problems with this program, it is giving run time error for some CRM orders.
Run time error message : The ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert results in duplicate database records.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was not caught in procedure "CRM_SERVICE_OS_UPD_OST_DU" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.

Run time error is coming at COMMIT WORK AND WAIT statement.
Please let me know any corrections are required in the above program.
When I analyzed the run time error I have found that it trying to insert the record in CRMD_SRV_OSSET for that CRM order, but already one record is present in the table for the same CRM order number.
For most of the CRM orders there is no entry in this table so they are closing successfully but for a few orders for which there is an entry we are getting the above run time error.
There is nothing wrong with the orders which have an entry already in the table CRMD_SRV_OSSET, I need to close these kind of orders with out run time error.
Kindly provide your feedback.

MBP (13-inch, early 2011) goes into hibernation instead of safe sleep upon closing the lid (only when using battery power)

MBP details
13-inch MacBook Pro, early 2011 (model identifier: MacBookPro8,1)
Running Yosemite, OS X 10.10.1 (however, problem started while using Mavericks)
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB memory
Symptoms
* the MBP goes into hibernation instead of sleep upon closing the lid on battery power (i.e., when AC adapter is NOT connected)
-- problem does not occur when AC adapter is connected
* putting the computer to sleep by other means does not induce the problem; these other means include:
-- [i] option+command+Power,
-- [ii] Apple Icon --> Sleep,
-- [iii] in Terminal: pmset sleepnow
* the battery is NOT getting drained at all; if I close the lid on 87%, the battery is still at about 87% when I get the MBP back up and running
To be as clear as possible:
(1) MBP is on and in use (power source: battery); battery is at X%
(2) the lid is then closed
(3) the battery indicator light glows bright for about 10 seconds, then shuts off, and with it so does the MBP (all fans and sounds cease)
(4) opening the lid and pressing any key on the keyboard does nothing (the computer is not sleeping)
(5) to turn the MBP back on, I must hit the power button once; this brings up and the gray screen and loading bar indicative of returning from hibernation
(6) log in; battery is still at X%
Attempted Solutions / Fixes
There are Apple Discussions addressing similar MBP issues, many of which at least have work-arounds, if not full-blown solutions. However, I have tried many of the proposed work-arounds and solutions; nothing has solved my problem. Such attempted solutions include:
* made sure EFI/SMC firmware was up to date
* updated all software
* logged in as a different user
* booted in Safe Mode
* reset the PRAM
* repaired disk permissions using Disk Utility
* repaired additional disk permissions in recovery mode (a la this chron.com advice)
* ran the Apple Hardware Test multiple times (short test while plugged in, short test on battery, extended test while plugged in, extended test on battery)
* booted from an external known-good OS on USB drive
* reseated the RAM
* used MemTest to test the RAM's health (it was good)
* tested my battery's health with the app Battery Health (it is healthy!)
* booted my computer with one stick of the MBP's original RAM at a time (figured "why not?")
* booted my computer using other sticks of RAM
* checked my power management settings using PMSET in the terminal (e.g., pmset -g); tried various hibernation modes (e.g., sudo pmset -a hibernationmode X, where X=0,1,3, etc)
* searched/grepped through my power management logs and Console messages to look for googleable items (e.g., pmset -g log | grep WORD, where WORD=failure, sleep, etc); still have not found help online
* brought the MBP to a Mac Genius
-- he ran some further tests, but found nothing;
-- he re-installed my OS as a hopeful-hail-mary-just-maybe-last-ditch effort; the problem persisted!
-- we both agreed that we had ruled out a software cause
-- he offered me to leave my MBP to get fixed for a flat fee of $300.00 (which after a couple weeks of trying to figure this out is starting to sound more and more reasonable)
Given that it is likely not a software issue, what hardware might it be? By booting from an OS on an external drive, I think I've ruled out a bad hard drive or hard drive cable. Also, given that inducing sleep in any way other than closing the MBP's lid does not cause the problem, it seems there might be a wire (or something) in the hinge section of the MBP that gets moved when the lid is closed possibly causing some kind of short circuit...or something.
If someone with more experience interpreting Console messages, for example, can help, I'd be happy to provide some logs, or any additional information.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Ok, this is a crazy-simple, quasi-embarrassing fix, but I'll post it anyway just in case anyone is having a similar problem (for example, this guy: Changes to pmset being ignored).
Some time around late last August / early September (2014) this issue began happening for me (specifically, issue = closing lid while on battery power induces hibernation / shut down instead of sleep --- independent of hibernation mode). Maybe it was when I upgraded to Yosemite (not sure what the exact date of that was). As detailed in my original post, I frantically tried everything I could think of... At that time, however, I had quite a few presentations and posters to create and present at meetings and conferences, so I held off fixing it for a couple of months and returned to it this past week, where I tried a few more things listed above, but again to no avail...
This morning, I simply tried fudging around with all my power management settings again (via pmset in Terminal). The simplicity of the fix surprised me. But now that I understand it, I know it is likely the same fix for other threads I've read, such as the one above:
(TLDR in bold)
(1) Take note of your power management settings (Terminal: pmset -g custom)
(2) Is the "standby" flag set to 0? If so, set it to 1. Wa-la! Done.
This fix is crazy and embarrassing b/c I was so close to it for so long. I tried changing my hibernation modes multiple times (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X, where X=0,1,3,25,etc). I read about manipulating other PMSET settings that helped other people with newer MBPs, like "autopoweroff" and "autopoweroffdelay" --- settings that I do not have on the MBP early 2011 (check your settings: pmset -g cap). And most amazingly of all, I even messed with the "standbydelay" setting, trying to make it so long that my computer should never go into hibernation... Yet, from what I can tell by looking over my notes, I never simply set "standby" from 0 to 1.
There are interesting questions that arise due to this fix. For example, why did this problem persist on clean installs of OS Yosemite? Is "standby" being set to 0 the Yosemite default? I'm not sure. If it is, then Kappy was right: this was normal behavior... It just wasn't always the normal behavior...at least not for my MBP. Normal behavior (hibernatemode 3) used to be (and now is again) that the MBP goes into safe sleep, and then only after an allotted amount of time will it go into full-blown hibernation.
NOTE: the "standby" and "standbydelay" PMSET settings are not available in some earlier MBP models (e.g., my brother has a 2010 and does not have these settings); so if you're having a similar problem with an earlier model, this fix might not be of any help to you.
