Run a program

can anyone tell me the java code i would need to make a certian program run when the system clock hits a certian time? I just need it to run one program at 1 time, thx for the help in advanced.

sorry to post again so quickly it was the slashes going the wrong way, but now when the program runs instead of opening the new file i get this:
java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: call G:/Comms. Tech/Adobe Work/Castle.pds error=2
at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method)
at java.lang.Win32Process.<init>(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Runtime.execInternal(Native Method)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Unknown Source)
at working_java_timer.main(working_java_timer.java:32)
is this because my file has to be a .exe to work?
again sorry for posting 2 so quickly i didnt see an edit button to allow me to add more to my previous post.

I dont see the "edit options" button thats suppose to be on the top right hand corner. I need to download and run a program and I need to click that to do it, what do I do ?

Or how do I download a tool bar for firefox, or run a program like you do for internet explorer?

/SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 program is not working correctly if we run the program for range of material and plant wise

Hi APO Experts,
In our project, we have received more sales order inconsistencies which is not clearing by CCR program and it is clearing by program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, So We have decided to schedule the background job on daily basis for program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, performing the testing in our quality system and observed the below strange behavior.
When I am running the program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with Range of products and some location range with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, in Background job. In output it is suggesting to delete one sales order. If I checked that Sales order in ECC, it is for an different location, that is not part of my selection and the order is open. In MD04 the Qty is showing 1 ( as per sales order) but in APO RRP3 view the order qty is showing Zero. I have run the CCR, it is coming in different in content and if I push, the different is not going to APO.
I have tried running the program /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with plant which is mentioned in that sales order with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow, in Background job , it is suggesting this sales order under update option correctly.
Can you please help me understand why it is behaving differently like the location is not part of my selection and why it is suggesting the wrong action. And also whether is it advisable to run the /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 with option as Build Reqmts from Doc. Flow at plant range and material range in background job.
Thanks & Regards,
Sundaram Radhakrishnan

Sundaram,
It sounds to me like the sales document records in the OLTP and in APO were created at different times. This is common in Dev and Qual environments when the systems are commonly created at two different times, and each was a copy of an existing system that contained sales data. The order number you see in //rrp3 is somewhat irrelevant; system generally uses the guid for many activities.
FYI during Dev and Qual refreshes, if you are copying from a production environment that contains data, it is always best to create the OLTP and SCM images at the same time, and to copy them both to the Dev and Qual systems at the same time. If you don't do this, you are faced with the additional tasks associated with getting the copied systems back into synch.
If this is Dev or Qual, I suggest that you just completely wipe out all sales orders in APO and rebuild them using the CIF.
If this is a mature production environment, the only time I have ever seen this issue is due to improperly created CIF enhancements. Speak to your developers to find the root cause, and correct this problem. Then, wipe out all sales orders and rebuild with CIF.

Unable to Run C Program using Xcode "Stop Executable"

Hi All
Have been using the Terminal to compile programs built through Xcode but now want to use Xcode itself. Everytime I press build and go it builds successfully but won't run. I found a tutorial that mentioned if you are using Xcode 3.0 (I am) you can't use build and run, for output, you have to go to run and then push console.Ok that works. I then found someone with the same issue as mine everytime you want to build and run it appears with another window saying "Stop Executable"They were told to make sure they were building the .c file in a project and not building it from a text editor and then importing. I always build new projects.
I want to interact with the program not just see its output? so my question is can I interact with programs i.e. User can enter data or strings or, do I have to build an interface to do this through Xcode. I Also forgotten to mention I found information through the forum that said to go to First Aid through utilities and repair file permissions, this has been done but still does not work. Many thanks for your time and as you can probably tell I am new to Xcode.

To run your command-line program in Xcode, open the debugger console by choosing Run > Console. Run your program by choosing Run > Run or Build > Build and Run. You'll have to build and run if you haven't compiled the program before. Your program will run, and you will see output in the console. You interact with the program from the console.
If you're not able to enter input in the console, choose Run > Sync with Debugger. If doing that doesn't work, you can run your program in the Terminal application by double-clicking the program from the Finder. It's less convenient than running it in Xcode, but you'll at least be able to run the program and interact with it.

Problem with running a program under Labview 8.6

Hello,
I am writing you this to ask for your technical support to fix the problem I am facing at our Lab at University of California, Irvine.
Ms. Vanessa Trujillo has kindly come to our lab a couple of times and tried different things to resolve the issue, but unfortunately the issue is not resolved yet. Here is a summary of the problem:
We used to use Labview 6.1 for our fatigue testing and data acquisition.
Our
program worked just fine under the 6.1 version We recently upgraded our software to Labview 8.6. We have also purchased a new computer that has higher capacity than what your website requires for Labview 8.6. The new computer has Windows Vista We transferred our old program/subprograms from the old computer under Labview
6.1 to the new computer with labview 8.6. However our program that worked fine with the 6.1 version is not working with the updated version (ver 8.6).
There
are 6 errors in the error list. It appears there are six files of my program missing under the new version, even though we transferred all files.
The software searches for those files but can't find them.
        For example one the box pops up indicates:
        loading:
                    <vlib>:\Daq\lvdaq.dll
        searching:
                    C:\Program Files\National Instrument\LabVIEW 8.6\instr.lib\Agilent34401\public\utility
        I get several message like this. I have to cancel/ignore them all to be able to open the program.
When we go to VI's under Measurement I/O there is nothing (empty).
We use a PCI-MIO-16XE-50 for our data acquisition During Labview installation on the new computer, I was asked if I wanted to install the device drivers. I had two options, "Now" or "Later", I picked Now but I didn't have the DVD's/CD's for the device drivers. Therefore I had to select later to complete my software installation Later after Labview 8.6 installation, we installed the device drivers (traditional Ni DAQ and Ni DAQmx) from the two old CD's we had in our lab from a couple of years ago (the CD's were Ni DAQ 7). after installation, the PCI board on the computer was recognized by the device driver. However we still could not run our program under the new version of Labview (same situation and the same messages) I called 1-866-275-6964 on 9/2/08 and talked to Grant (service number:
1228841). He recommended that I download and install the updated version of device drivers.
Since I didn't have the DVD/CD for updated device drivers, I contacted Vanessa Trujillo. She gave me the DVD for the updated Ni DAQ (Traditional and mx).
But
when I tried to install the updated device drivers I got a message something like "some unsupported filed have been detected,..." so the updated device
drivers were not installed. It should be noted that up to here we still had the Ni DAQ (traditional and mx) installed on the computer from our old CD's (Ni DAQ 7).
Vanessa and I talked to Tom at the technical support department. He recommended that we download and install the Beta xx version for Ni DAQ since we were using Windows Vista. Mike put the Beta software on the Ni website/outgoing so I could download and install it. He asked me to uninstall the traditional Ni DAQ that we had on our computer from the older CD's. He
asked me not to un-install the Ni DAQmx (that we had installed from the old
CD). I was able to download the Beta software, however I could not install it since I got a similar message that some unsupported files were detected.
Right now we don't have any version of traditional Ni DAQ installed on the
computer but the NI DAQmx (from old Ni DAQ 7) is still installed on the computer. Vanessa let me borrow her new Ni DAQ DVD but as I explained I am not able to install the device drivers.
Vanessa - Did I miss anything?
Please advise. My cell number is 619-778-2033. I will be at our lab at UC,
Irvine at 2:00pm (CA/Pacific time). Please call if you have any questions.
Thank you

To me, it looks like you are missing some of the drivers and subVI's used in your program.
Whatever device you are using to measure fatigue or any other device probably came with a driver.
You need all of these drivers installed on this new computer.
Also, any subVI's and libraries you use in the program must also be installed on the new computer.
Whenever you get a message that says you are missing some component (the ones that you said you press 'ignore'),
see if you can find that library or subVI on the older computer. If so, save it to something so you can transfer them to the new computer.

When I connect an external drive I'd like to run a program which is on it. How could I do that?
I tried automator, but without success.
Thanks

Interesting question. Others have provided the direct answer (no, massive security hole), and a little time with a search engine finds various existing discussions of autorun-related topics (eg: here and here and here), and a link to the Do Something When tool, and there is the DeviceListener example in the Xcode kit and to adding a folder action where the volumes are mounted. See the topics for details. Haven't tried this stuff, though.

Running BDC program in background for the transaction VL02N

Hi All,
I have coded a BDC program (call transaction method) for the transaction code VL02N. I can able to run the program manually & successfully. But if I execute the program in background(SM36), it is going to dump giving CNTL_ERROR.
Note: I am not using any of the GUI_UPLOAD, GUI_DOWNLOAD funciton modules in the program. But I am using the FTP command funtion modules like( FTP_COMMAND, FTP_CONNECT, FTP_DISCONNECT and FTP_SERVER_TO_R/3).

Thanks in advance.

VL02N is an enjoy transaction. You cant run it in background. Please try VL02.

"Error determining planning periods for calendar " when running a program

Hi,
When i am running a program with date range say "01/05/2011" to "30/06/2011",the program is executing successfully without any error. When i am executing the same program with date range as a) "01/05/2009" to "30/06/2011" and b)"01/05/2008" to "30/06/2011" the program is failing with error as "Error determining planning periods for calendar". Can anyone suggest me what i should do to avoid the failure of the program with above date ranges also.
Thanks in advance,

Dear,
Error message 61123:"Error determining planning periods for calendar &".The PPC planning calendar specified in the material master MRP 2 view for the material is incorrectly.
The planning calendar periods are insufficiently maintained for the planning calendar used.
Check the period of planning calendar in MD26 and generate the correct period.You can avoid the problem in several ways:
Maintain the planning calendar far enough in the future (at least until beyond the end of the planning horizon).
Also check any demand is lies beyond the validity period of planning calendar.
Reduction of the planning horizon of MRP also can control such issue, as MRP planning horizon lies in an area in which the planning calendar is no longer maintained

Could not able to RUN Java Programs in JRE 1.5.08

hi
I am using Jdk 1.5.8.
I don�t have any problem in compiling the files.
but i could not able to run the program through windows cmd prompt.
Say name of the java file is newFile (no packages).
When i try to run the program by using java newFile it raises a ClassNotFoundException.
it s the same case when try to set any JDBC drivers ..
is there any problem in my class path settings? Please help me out to fix this problem

if your current directory is not in the classpath,you should include it in the classpath.
To do that you can include .(dot) to your classpath variable.

Error whilst running a program

Hello all,
I am new to java and i ran into a probelm while trying to run ALL programs that has already compiled on the Windows command prompt.
The error i get is:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : Motorcycle:class
However, i have Eclipse IDE installed and when i run the same program there,it runs perfectly.
What could be wrong.Am using j2sdk 1.5.0.
NB
On the command prompt,compiling the program is not the problem but running it using:
java Motorcycle.class
Thanks

When running a java program, you don't call the .class-File, you call the class itself and Java decides how it wants to find that class.
So instead of "java Motorcycle.class" you should use "java Motorcycle".
The command you used tries to exectue a class called "class" in the package "Motorcycle" which is obviously not what you want.

Ok, here's what I did using the JSE 8.1 IDE.
1) I copied your code into a .java file named "TextShuffleGame".
It generated about half a dozon errors.
There are three classes in the program:
TextShuffleLevel
TextShuffleGame
CinReader
Each of these classes is declared "public" and I got the same error message on each one:
"class ... is public, should be declared in a file name ... .java"
so, I...
2) tried changing them to "private".
It then said: "modifier private not allowed here".
so, I...
3) deleted the modifiers for these three classes and left them as just class. No errors.
The next two errors had to do with the two import statements:
"import java.io.*;" and "import java.util.*;".
It said: "'class' or 'identifier' expected" for both. So, I...
4) moved them to the top of the source file.
Didn't help at first. So, I...
5) fiddle around with them a bit.
I tried "java.io;" and "java.util;" and then "java.*;" by itself. Still got errors. So, I put them back as you had them and for some mysterious reason, my editor decided they were fine. oO
This also corrected the last errors in the "CinReader" class. Here is the error-free code I now have in my "TextShuffleGame.java" file:
