Running a *.tcl script via an Expert

I'm trying to build a metadata promotion wizard/expert which will promote metadata from our Dev repository to our QA repository
In order to acheive this, we have created an exp_imp.tcl script which exports a collection from our Dev repository and imports it into QA our QA repository - this works fine if I run it via OMBPlus.bat. However, I would like to incorporate this within an OWB Expert - the problem we are experiencing is that the OMB+ task within the expert doesn't allow us to connect to a different repository (QA repos) without first disconnecting from the current repository (Dev repos) - if we do disconnect the expert will run through to completion, however, the expert window then hangs (presumably, because of the earlier disconnection)
Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Hi skifarm,
It sounds like this message may be more related to the TCL script than to LabVIEW. Could you put a simple command very early in the script that gives some output, to help you determine whether it's a LabVIEW issue? If the command provides the output, then it's probably not a LabVIEW issue. If it doesn't get that far, then that somewhat narrows it down.

Creating a job that runs a Tcl script

Hi,
We currently have a scheduled job running a Tcl script on a 8.1.7 DB. My question is, can I still use the same setup in 10g DB (i.e. creating a job that runs Tcl script)? If I can, how am I gonna do it?
Thanks,
howie

It depends on how you scheduled the job in 8.1.7 DB.
By Cronjob? Yes you can do the same to connect to 10g
By DBMS_JOB?. Yes you can do it in 10g and in addition, can improve it with DBMS_SCHEDULER
Via OEM? Yes in can use Enterprise Manager to create a Job that runs the Script.

To run a tcl script in ombplus

how do i run a script in ombplus
when i give a command ompplus.bat test.tcl the script doesnt run.
it is given in a doc that in INTERACTIVE SHELL the SOURCE should be set as test.tcl
and then ombplus.bat test.tcl command should be given in the ombplus command line.
what is interactive shell in ombplus.
and how to run a tcl script in ombplus.

Running a TCL script through EEM every 60 seconds

I have a script written in the TCLSH of IOS, I can test this script from the shell using the following commands
LAB-RTR#tclsh
LAB-RTR(tcl)#source flash:test.tcl
NO CALLS
Is there a way I can run this test.tcl script every 60 seconds on the router.
SCRIPT test.tcl
proc get_ints {} {
set syslog [open "syslog:" w+]
#puts "BEFORE\n"
set check ""
set int_out [ exec "show voice call status\n" ]
#puts "INTOUT $int_out\n"
set mylist [regexp -nocase -line -inline {(^([0-9]*|No) active calls? found)} $int_out]
#puts "MYLIST $mylist\n"
foreach int $mylist {
#puts "INT $int\n"
if {$int == "No"} {
  puts " NO CALLS\n";
  puts $syslog "NO CALLS"
} elseif {[string is integer -strict $int]} {
  puts "$int CALLS\n";
  puts $syslog "$int CALLS"
} else {
  #puts "GARBAGE\n";
close $syslog
#puts ""
puts [eval get_ints]

Hey Joseph, Thanks for all your help. I have one last question, so now that I am running my script every 60 seconds if there is an issue I send multiple traps to our monitoring system. Is there any way you can keep track if the trap was already sent I will not send another trap again.
One way I can think of is using a loopback interface. But I would prefer not shutting down the loopback interface just to keep track of what my script is doing.
IF issue {
   IF Loop1 is up {
            don't send trap
   } ELSE {
            bring Loop1 up
            Send Trap
} ELSE (No issue) {
   shutdown Loop1

How do I run a shell script via AppleScript?

Seems obvious, "do shell script" but that doesn't work for me.
I have an Automator app which runs a shell script, I'd like to take that into an AppleScript. My AS doesn't run the shell script. Perhaps "do shell script' is expecting the script to be located elsewhere? The rest of my AS runs fine, but the shell script doesn't.
repeat with i from 1 to count of items in exportFolder
do shell script
          "exiftool -overwrite_original -Photoshop:CopyrightFlag='True'"
done
end repeat
As I say this works within an Automator app, what changes do I need to make it work in AppleScript?
Thanks!

What is 'exportFolder'? Where is it defined?
Thanks, 'exportFolder' is defined earlier in the script. The purpose of the script - which is run from within Aperture - is to rename the selected images, export them (to the 'exportFolder'), reset the version name and, using ExifTool, add metadata which Aperture does not write to exported JPEGs.
I have a version of this which works in Automator but I couldn't see any clues there on setting the path to ExifTool.
Here's the full (modified) script. Currently it returns an error
Result:
error "No file specified" number 1
so I now need to understand if I can use 'exportFolder' (defined at the start) to tell Finder which folder to use.

Running the deinstall script via SQLPlus

Hi folks,
There are plenty of examples in the forum of how to run the apex install scripts by reading the contents of APEX_APPLICATION_SUPP_OBJ_SCR. I can't find where the contents of the deinstallation script is stored. Has anyone discovered this?
I would like to be able run the deinstall script followed by all of the install scripts from a single SQL script to speed up development?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

I have somewhat of a similar process, where I asked on the ASP.NET forums, as I needed my users of an Intranet site to be able to have a script run with the click of the button. I was told that it was not possible, as the browser is built to not allow stuff
like this for security reasons.
I haven't heard of a plugin so maybe there are other ways, but what I actually had to do, was create a batch file, and than on my webpage I added an IFrame
<iframe id="myIframe" runat="server"></iframe>
Than either in the html markup you can set the src attribute (I did mine in the code behind), to the directory where the file is at, so for instance \\myserver\fileishere
Obviously the location needs to be shared and allow all users read/execute. This will display the file on the web page, and then the users, just double click it and it executes.
You can possibly have a batch file that calls powershell and the script, but the script will need to be downloaded to the users machine, so it may be easier to find a batch equivallent of your powershell script and use DOS commands

Running a Powershell script via IIS on client machine

Hello,
I have a Powershell script that I want to serve to clients that will access my site.
The script is simple - it will terminate Outlook and Communicator and restart in Cleanfreebusy mode.
Researching this has noted that there is an IIS plugin that will allow the running of Powershell scripts?
I would like to ask you, colleagues, is there a way I may be able to do this? That is to allow my clients run this Powershell script without downloading locally.
Many many thanks,

Runnig TCL script manually?

We are running a TCL script via a cron job with no issue, every 2 minutes and it working like a bomb.
When i try run the script manually via the event manager run xxx.tcl it say that it is not registered?
When i check the sh event manamger policy registed it says it is?
Any ideas?
Regards

You don't need kron or Tcl for this. You can use the built-in config archive feature of IOS:

Embedded Event Manager - SNMP - run TCL script

I would like to run a tcl script on a router using snmp. I understand Embedded Event Manager can do this but haven't found what I need to run that. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Yeah, you could do this, but it depends on your version of IOS. You will need EEM 3.1 or higher (15.0) to be able to intercept SNMP GET requests. Then, you could do something like:
event manager applet snmp-trigger event snmp-object oid 1.9.9.9.9 type gauge sync yes istable no action 1.0 policy my_tcl_policy.tcl action 2.0 snmp-object-value event-id _event_id gauge 0 next-oid 1.9.9.9.9.0 action 3.0 exit 1!snmp-server manager
Then, when you query 1.9.9.9.9.0 on the device, the Tcl policy "my_tcl_policy.tcl" should execute, and the snmp-trigger applet policy will return a value of 0.

Running tcl script in parallel with vi code

i need to run a tcl script from within a vi but i don't want to be blocked by tcl script. right now when i call tcl script within my vi using "system exec" vi, the rest of the code in my vi does not get executed until tcl script exits. i need to run tcl script in parallel.
an equivalent operation in unix can be done by running a script in background using &.
any ideas how to do it in labview.

Help with tcl script with labview

I am trying to run a program using tcl script via labview.
Currently I am using wish80 tcl to run it. And it works fine.
I tried using example I found on NI website called Run Tcl Script.vi
I will attach the vi and the tcl file. Hope someone will have a idea what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
please change the testpairs2.txt to testpairs2.tcl as it is not letting me attach as tcl.

Hi randyram,
try the referenced labview example with your parameters. I guess there are some changes on the OS. (actual OS with LV6.1 to XP) :-)

How to run .tcl scripts with VTK?

I have a bunch of .tcl scripts that use VTK. How do I run them? I have tcl/tk/vtk installed, but when I try to run `tclsh script.tcl` it outputs errors about VTK. On other distros i saw a binary named `vtk` that could run .tcl scripts out of the box. Is there something like this on Arch?
Thanks.

Hi, vtk is in community. It should supply the tcl bindings. I once was the maintainer when it was in AUR. It works here with the tcl examples that come with the vtk package. Have not tested the version in community yet.

Tcl proc with input argument run from UNIX script...how

Environment:
OWB 10g Client on Windows XP Professional
Repository - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
Target - 9.2.0.4 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
I need a little tcl advice, please!
I have a tcl script (proc, I guess) that takes one argument, in this case a mapping name.
I would like to execute this tcl script from a UNIX shell script and pass the name of the mapping as an argument to the UNIX shell script. Something like:
OMBPlus.sh omb_deploy.tcl $1
where omb_deploy.tcl is the script that has all the OMBPlus commands in it to create the deployment plan and execute it.
I'd like to pass the mapping name as a command line argument to the UNIX shell script but it doesn't like it.
When I execute the script as above, I don't see any output and the mapping does not get deployed.
So, I need a little help on two (2) issues:
1- How do I generate a log file of the output of the tcl script?
2- How do I pass the mapping name as an argument to the UNIX shell script?
For #1 I have tried using the 'open logfilename w' at the top of the tcl script but it produces no output.
I saw another example from this forum where the author used a 'putslog' command in the script. I can't find any documentation on that command, what does it do?
That same script set a global OMBLOG variable at the top of the script and used the 'putslog' command in the body.
Is OMBLOG some special reserved word for logging? I couldn't find anything on it.
I'm trying to learn tcl but struggling to put all the tcl stuff together with all the OMBPlus stuff and make it all work is getting the best of me.
Any assistance, with examples (I learn best from them), is greatly appreciated.
Gary

Well duh!
I ended up just logging everything from the UNIX shell script and letting the tcl script write everything to stdout.
I also finally found the $argv parameter and have used that to pick up the name of the mapping being passed to OMBPlus.
It seems to be working so far.
