Hi
We have found the product for the job. If anyone have the same problem, you can find the program Service+ at nicoware.net
It is running OC4J as a service very well. It even logs console output to a text file. We are now using it in our production system.

Scheduled task won't run .bat file

Hi. On Windows Server 2008 I have a scheduled task that calls a .bat file. The fist step in the .bat file is write to a log file to the same directory in which the .bat file exists. This allows me to find out if it is ever run. When the .bat file is run from a command prompt it runs as expected writing to the log file and completing its actions. My problem is that when I run the scheduled task manually or allow it to run when scheduled it appears to run but the .bat file is never run. No log file is ever created. The History tab in the properties of the scheduled tasks shows the task being started and running then completing with an operation code of 2. I've disabled the UAC for the user account. I've set the task to run as the Administrator user and verified the permissions for that user. I know the password is correct for the task because I can make changes to the properties and save those changes with the username/password. I'm at a loss for further troubleshooting steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why these .bat files are not being run?

So I had this problem, I double clicked on the .bat and notepad opened the .bat. I ran through this whole long and very absorbing thread of this forum.   I wanted to save the entries that were most helpful, so I copied and pasted into
a notepad document (.txt) I could not find a way to attach it here, so I copied and pasted that below. I called it a synopsis.... Did I spell that right?
As you can see, I added my experience at the top (A and B). The stuff I copied is noted with the original author. This is the first time I posted anything to these here microsoft forums, although I have been telling computers what to do for 40+ years.
So hope I did not break any social protocols here.

This was created as a synopsis of the entries at the following forum location:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winservermanager/thread/d47d116e-10b9-44f0-9a30-7406c86c2fbe
A) manually
     This is an opinion added by Thomas Rock
    1) Open a command window (that would be cmd.exe)
    2) In the command window navigate to the directory containing the .bat file and it's dependents
           ex... C:\Program Files (x86)\Bobs\Your\Uncle
    3) Run the .bat file by typing the name including the .bat extension (in the command window of course)
             TheBatFile.bat
       Note: Using this method, the .bat file will run in the current command window directory (the directory where the .bat file is located)
                         (this is the key for getting it to run in the task scheduler... Start in folder option)
B) The double click
            This is an opinion added by Thomas Rock
     1) Using Windows exlporer, find the .bat file
     2) use the mouse or other device to double click on the .bat file
     3) if it does not run (in my case the wordpad application opened the .bat file)
          a) make sure that the .bat file extension is associated with the program c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
          b) make sure the profile you are using has rights to run the cmd.exe
          c) make sure the profile has the rights to the directories, the .bat and any other objects used or affected by the .bat file processing.
C) As a task using task scheduler
     Proposed As Answer by Brian Vandemark Wednesday, September 02, 2009 9:36 PM
1) Make sure that the task is set to "configure for Windows Vista or Windows 2008" on the first page of the task properties (under the "general" tab)
2) Make sure that the task is set to "start in" the folder that contains the batch file:
      a) open the task properties
      b) click on the "actions" tab
      c) click on the action and then the "edit" button at the bottom.
      d) In the "Edit Action" Window there is a field for "start in (optional)" that you set to the path to the batch file.
      e) be sure to include an end backslash for the start in path "C:\dir1\dir2\"    (the last backslash is not optional)
3) Make sure that the task is running as an account that has explicit "Full access" permissions to all these things:
      a) the .bat file itself
      b) the folder containing the .bat file
      c) the target files/folders that are affected by the .bat script.
           Note: Inherited permissions did not seem to work.
4) Make sure that the account running the task is a member of the local "administrators" group for this machine
5) Make sure that the task is set to "run whether logged on or not"
6) Tick the box "Run with highest privileges".
       Note: Point 6 here was from Edson F. Lima Wednesday June 30 2010 1:35 PM
                  The original point 6 was moved to point 7.
7) The Task should run successfully with expected output when you right-click on the task and select "run"
        If it does that then it will run successfully when you are logged off.
D) Still another way as a task using task scheduler
      Proposed As Answer byDarren Wallace Thursday, July 15, 2010 1:41 AM
This has been bugging me for 6 or 7 months.
I don't have admin rights to the box and the guy who does is very busy...
so I've felt the range of emotions mentioned above.
I tried most everything above as well. But what seemed to get my processes processing, was ...
   • on the General tab, I clicked the Change User or Group button
   • in Select User or Group (first smaller dialog box) I clicked the Advanced... button
   • in the next Select User or Group (second bigger dialog box) I clicked the Find Now button
   • in the Search results I selected the Administrators (a group) and it returned SERVERname\Administrators into the "Enter the object name to select" entry in the previous dialog box
   • then I clicked OK and returned to the General tab above
   • the options to Run only when user is logged on and Run whether user is logged on or not are no longer available
   • then I made sure that the Run with highest privileges was checked
   • then I clicked OK and during the next scheduled time to run ... it ran
   Note: See note in A) Manually above.
E) Task scheduler recommendation
     Proposed As Answer byTamusJRoyceThursday, December 01, 2011 3:42 PM
I have found .bat and .cmd files do not run correctly either.
    My solution: Don't run the batch file directly.
       Have TaskScheduler run: cmd.exe
          with parameter: /C YourBatchFile.bat
         and start in: C:\SomePath\ (without quotes!) where C:\SomePath\YourBatchFile.bat exists.
        And then select the radio button for it to run regardless if you are logged in or not.
Exit errors may not be logged to the Event Log (they weren't when the .bat ran directly from Task Scheduler when I was logged in), so I find it best to manually log your own Event in case a error occurs and you want to send an email.
REM Logs an event which causes eventlog to send an email when it fails. Also, "/l application" needs to be lowercase.
eventcreate /t error /id 203 /l application /d "your logged description."
And then make a completely separate task with a trigger: On an event. Basic Selected. Log: Application. Source: EventCreate. Event ID: 203. And have the action on this task send an email (attaching any generated log files, if needed).
Hopefully helpful (took me 3 days to figure all this out...gar)

thanx in advance

How to write run.bat files

Can anyone tell me how to write run.bat files to run java classes. Currently my run.bat file has the following two lines,
c:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\bin\javac.exe *.java
c:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\bin\java.exe questionnair
But the class is not executed. Thanks in advance.

you'll have to provide more details.
Firstly, which package is the class a part of? and secondly, where on the filesystem is the root of the package?
You might also benifit from placing the c:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\bin\ into the classpath.
On a rainy day, check out the ANT tool, it will take care of all that crapola for you.

Help! problem running .bat files in browser

HI! Hope you can help me!
I have a simple applet that runs .bat files and retrieves the resulting information into a text box.
To run those files I use:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process processo=rt.exec("C:/po2PrtMonitor.bat 04600105 ope >C:/infoPrt.txt");
in wich "04600105","ope" and ">C:/infoPrt.txt" are parameters that the .bat file is expecting. When the file is ran it saves the resulting information on a simple .txt file, that I later read by using:
fichResposta = new FileInputStream(fichRespostaPath[0]);
When I run my applet on JDeveolper 9.0.2.822 is works perfectly, the problem is when run it on the browser.
On the browser the applet executes the file by opening a MS-DOS prompt and when it finishes executing the file, the prompt closes automatically and doesn't send the information into the .txt file.
My .bat file is something like:
jre -cp PrtSrv20.jar sibs.deswin.prt.PrtMonGateway 10.46.1.22 5003 %1 %2 %3
where %1,2%,3% are the above parameters given by the applet when the file is ran.
If I run it on JDeveloper I get:
C:\>jre -cp PrtSrv20.jar sibs.deswin.prt.PrtMonGateway 10.46.1.22 5003 04600105 ope
PRTSES=04600105 HDR=0460010000000005 STA=OPENED TRF=ACTIVE TRP=CONN ILTS=15 Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.

Here is what is missing:
ILT=0 MSQ=388 HDR=04.60.01.00.00.00.00.05.41.00.01.84. CMD=STRT-TRF
When the applet is run on the IE broser what I get is simply:
jre -cp PrtSrv20.jar sibs.deswin.prt.PrtMonGateway 10.46.1.22 5003 04601005 ope
I have no idea as to what the problem might be! Do native methods work differently on the browser?! Could it be a problem on the deployment? A library not included on the deployment profile? Suggestions are very welcome.

How to run .java file in windows ?

How to run .java file in windows without installing any program? Thx!

First, U must make sure that there is JDK on your computer
Then, set the envionment variables which the os can find your compiler and interpreter: javac java
after those, you must complie your .java file to .class file, then you can excute it by java, for example " java helloworld"

Running .bat files as administrator on win 7 and win 2k8 machines

I have .bat which will be copied onto Win 7 and Win 2k8 machines remotely. The batch file contains scripts to stop and restart Windows services, like,
net stop "Adobe Acrobat Update Service".
Now when I run this batch file, I get "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied."
I understand that I need to run this batch file as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.).
Does anyone have a solution for this?
P.S: 1) "run as" command inside the .bat file won't work, since you need to run the .bat file itself as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.).
2) I can create another batch file (say b.bat) containing the "run as" command and invoking the the original batch file (say a.bat), which has the command net stop "Adobe Acrobat Update Service". But still, this won't solve the issue, since you can run as,
the user, who has administrator privileges and not run as administrator (here by administrator I mean, Windows default administrator.) itself.

Suhas,
Can you explain me why you want to do this?
Maby there are there some beter ways to achive your goal.
The reason why this doesn't work is UAC who strips the administrator tokens from your user account.
So it is not nesseary to use the default windows administrator account. Just a user with administrative priviliges will do you only need to run this command elevated.
There are several ways to run this command elevated:
Just right click on the batch file and choose the option run as administator.
Quite simple but a no go if you wanna have a fully automated solution
Use PsExec.exe from the pstools suite (avaible
here)
If you use the command like this:
PSEXEC -u domain\user -p password -h net stop spooler
PSEXEC -u domain\user -p password -h net start spooler
Or from a remote machine (pcX = remote management machine, pcY = machine where you want to restart the service.)
Execute this command on machine pcX:
PSEXEC \\pcY -u domain\user -p password -h net stop spooler
PSEXEC \\pcY -u domain\user -p password -h net start spooler
Create a sheduled task with the "highest privlilges" that executes your batch file.
etc ...
Kind Regards

How do I reset the default file association for .bat files on Windows 8.1?

Windows 8.1 allows the user to change the file association for .bat files. I made the mistake of using this facility to change the default file association for .bat files to Notepad++. Now when I attempt to run a .bat file, the script for the .bat
comes up in Notepad++, instead of its being run as an executable file! All my .bat files are now useless. I tried finding a way to change this back to the original executable setting, including deleting Notepad++ from my system, but nothing
has worked.
There are discussions that I found on the Internet about this problem, and the solutions to which I was led have not worked either. Most of the solutions apply to Windows 7 or Vista, but not to Windows 8. There are a few solutions that purport to apply to Windows
8 and 8.1, but they do not work for me.
(Disconcertingly, some of the solutions presented for the problem that apply to Vista or Windows 7 and are dated as early as 2009, so this problem has apparently been around for some time, but Microsoft still keeps .bat files on the Control Panel facility that
enables the change to be made. I cannot see why, but there it remains.)
Can someone please help me change this file association back to the original setting for Windows 8.1? Remember, most if now all the links that address this issue are focused on Windows 7. I need an answer that has been tried and proven to apply to Windows 8.1.
Nothing I have tried works.

Hi,
For the issue, we can restore Default File Extension Type Associations through adding the registry entries.
1. Download the .reg file from the following link.
http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/tutorials/8025d1345781188-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-bat.reg
Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.
3. Double click on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
5. Sign out and in, or restart the computer to apply.
6. If you are logged in as a standard user and this still does not help, then have the administrator also merge the needed .reg file for the listed file extension or protocol below while logged into their administrator account.
Hope this helps.

Bat file to Start Service.

Hi All,
I need a bat file to restart one of the service when user login to the PC. These users are not local admins so they cannot start this service.
net start "Service Updater" give and access denied.
This service have to run as SUser not as System account.
so how do i run this bat file with above user credentials?
As
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Okay this is what you do the fix this problem.
1. Uninstall the oracle home for OWB
2. Make sure that the oracle home directory you unistalled is removed from the hard drive
3. re-install the OWB software
4. drop the owb users and repositories you created earlier
5. using the advanced install path reinstall owb repositories and user accounts to NEW user accounts (OWBRT_SYS will remain the same however)
6. start the control service -- this should work now.

Stopping/Starting Portal via BAT file on Windows

In our landscape we have the ABAP and JAVA stack installed on separate servers for security reason. We are trying to implement windows updates via SUS and need to automate the stopping and starting of SAP. The bat file that was created works when stopping and starting the ABAP portion of SAP but on the Portal server it will take it down but when trying to start Portal, the J2ee Server will not start, but when I use the SAP MMC all servers starts up without any problem. Below is the start up bat file, any assistance will be greatly appreciated:
REM start of script
PATH=%path%;G:\usr\sap\QBE\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64
SET ORACLE_SID=QBE
SET SAPDATA_HOME=K:\ORACLE\QBE
REM
REM
REM ***** starting Oracle Services *****
REM
net start OracleQBE102TNSListener
net start OracleServiceQBE
net start OracleQBE102iSQL*Plus
REM
REM ***** starting SAP services *****
REM
net start SAPOsCol
net start SAPQBE_00
net start SAPQBE_01
REM
REM ***** starting SAP Instances ******
REM
G:\usr\sap\QBE\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\startsap.exe name=QBE nr=00 SAPDIAGHOST=SAPEPQA
G:\usr\sap\QBE\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\startsap.exe name=QBE nr=01 SAPDIAGHOST=SAPEPQA
REM
REM end of script

I looked up some training material and in TADM10 - Unit4 - Starting and Stopping a SAP NetWeaver AS Java.. the following is stated:
Under Windows, the SAP system can also be started and stopped without a GUI by
calling a command by means of the executable files startsap.exe and stopsap.exe. This
can be done using a simple telnet access.
To start an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
following command: startsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
To stop an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
following command: stopsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
For the SAPDIAHOST parameter, enter the name of the host on which the instance is
to be started.
So the script is correct, its all according to SAP advice... very strange

Running bat files from JDeveloper

hi
Sometimes it could be convenient to run a bat file directly from JDeveloper.
For example, the application in SQLAuthenticatorApp-v0.02.zip (see also forum thread "how to disable (or lock) users") has an Ant file BuildStuff/build-wlst.xml which has targets like "wlst.create-domain" and "create.wls-start-stop-bat-files", the last one resulting in some bat files which I have been able to configure to run from JDeveloper,
see http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/img/2011/run-using-cmd-20110529.png
The External Tool cmd configuration I use is shown in the screenshot
at http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/img/2011/external-tool-cmd-20110529.png
See also the blog post by John 'JB' Brock
at http://blogs.oracle.com/jdevextensions/entry/how_to_extend_jdeveloper_without_writing_code
- (q1) How can I configure the External Tool cmd to run in its own cmd (command) window outside JDeveloper?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Hi Jan,
It looks like this is going to be a bug from what I can see. After looking at it a little more this morning, not only does it not display the cmd window, but if you use the /k argument, it leaves the script running in memory. Look at your Task Manager after running a few times with /k
I'll file a bug, and see if anyone has a work around or something that I missed.
For now, it would appear this is not possible, and you will just have to see the result in the log window. I would not use /k as well. Stick with /c for now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
