Running Desktop app via shared folder.

Hi All
I have been experimenting with deploying a desktop app over a network by simply running a jar file located in a shared folder on a server.
I have been having mixed results and have even managed to get the JVM to crash.
Do any of you have any experience with deploying apps this way, as is it a sensible idea.
Any info or opinions would be appreciated
Regards

  • Remote Desktop Apps via Andriod Remote Resource

    Hi,
    My remote desktop was working fine along with the Android app that connection to remote resources. The servers certificate was not renewed in time, so I went through getting all that replaced. I got that working in the IIS, exported the certificate from
    IIS and imported it back into the remote desktops settings under the 4 titles : RD Connection Broker - enable single sign on, rd connection broker - publishing, rd web access, rd gateway. They are all trusted and ok.
    So when I use the webpage to access the remote desktop apps with a PC it all works fine. no issues with certificates it just works. However when I come to use the remote resources in the android app, the apps appear, when you click on them it runs through
    a connection splash screen then just disappears. No error, nothing. It says connection rdp, negotiating connection, connecting rdp then just disappears.
    I have tried clearing the data and cache to remote desktop app, made no difference.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please check whether you have successful login connection to remote resource?
    In addition please provide the log for further research.
    Login in the APP, then go to settings, under 'support' there is an option ‘Send log via email’ and then it will reach to the email inbox which is provided.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Running iPad Apps via xcode

    Is it possible to run iPad apps and books successfully without an iPad if I install xcode on my iMac?

    No. Xcode has iOS Simulator for test your applications, but not for others

  • Linked PSD files not found when opening .ai files via shared folder

    My main user folder on the iMac is set to be shared (read/write, including all enclosed files) with my MacBook Pro so that I can get someone to help me on a big job. The job is a series of one-page InDesign files (they are newspaper advertisements). The IDD files contain a series of Illustrator files with linked PSD files.
    The idea is that we can both work on the .idd and .ai files in the same folder at the same time.
    It's all working fine EXCEPT that whenever an .ai file is opened on the MacBook, Illustrator doesn't know where the linked PSD files are. We can update the link, but when the .ai file is then opened on the iMac and saved, the same thing happens the next time it is opened on the Macbook.
    I don't want to embed the PSD files into the .ai files as sometimes I have to modify them and they can be linked to up to 20 .ai files. Any ideas?
    G5 iMac OSX 10.7.5 / Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.2 / networked via FireWire cable / file sharing on, laptop user has Administrator status, all files are read/write, permissions include all enclosed files / CS6

    If you are rebooting the computer holding down T to share via firewire, that is your problem. that mounts the other computer as a hardrive and probably messes up the filepath.
    Turn on sharing via Ethernet or wireless
    Connecting two computers using Ethernet
    You can use an Ethernet cable to connect two Mac computers and share files or play network games.
    To connect two computers using Ethernet:
    Connect a standard Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on one computer to the Ethernet port on the other. You don’t need to use an Ethernet crossover cable.
    If your computer doesn’t have an Ethernet port, try using a USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
    On each computer, choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing. Note the computer name for each computer.
    In the Finder on one of the computers, choose Go > “Connect to Server,” and then click Browse.
    Double-click the other computer in the window and enter your password, if necessary.
    If you manually configured the TCP/IP settings for the Ethernet service on the computer you are connecting to, you may need to enter that computer’s TCP/IP address in the “Connect to Server” dialog.
    To see or set the TCP/IP address, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Network, and select Ethernet in the list.

  • Moving iPhotos from one account to another via "Shared" folder

    Every once in awhile, I like to share photos between accounts on the same iMac, so that my wife can use some of the pictures. Lately, if I put them in the "Share" folder on the HD, they come out NOT useable in the other account. They are usually in jpeg format, but my wife's account gets a "corrupted" message.
    What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to transfer the pictures?

  • How to deploy a Desktop Access 2010 app via Azure and RemoteApp?

    I currently sell an Access 2010 app that uses the 2010 Access Runtime for deployment on desktop PCs. I very much would like to make it available over the internet on PC/Mac/iPad using the Azure RemoteApp, if possible. The Access app has a number of supporting
    files- it’s not just an Access accdb or accde file. For it to work correctly all the supporting files need to be in folders related to the main accde/accdb fie. Those files are a few other accde files, csv, pdf, and some folders.
    Each of my clients (a company) may have 1-15 simultaneous users. On the Desktop Access version, I have a Front End accde installed on each workstation and a single Back End accdb data file installed on a shared drive. Each FE workstation is linked to the
    single BE data file. I would need to replicate this somehow on an Azure VM (like perhaps have a designated folder for the BE data file that each user account’s FE is linked to?).
    I created an Azure VM (server 2012 R2) and installed the Access Desktop App on it. I can access that full VM with RDP (and see the whole desktop, not just my Access app). What I’m trying to figure out is a way to do this with RemoteApp- can RemoteApp use
    my Access 2010 app as an available ‘app’ or does the user need to see the whole VM desktop? 
    As well, in my Azure portal the ‘RemoteApp’ option is grayed out ‘pending approval’ so I can’t test it. 
    Any help figuring this out would be great. Thanks- 

    N8827N
    I ended up a great solution for this. I'm using 3 Windows Server 2012 R2 VMs to run it as a RemoteApp program. It's set up sort of like this:
    VM 1: RD Broker
    VM 2: Active Directory (where Users/Groups are created)
    VM 3: AppServer (where the Access app is actually located and run on- the VM2/Active Directory 'talks' to the AppServer to create/validate users but all the action happens on VM3).
    RemoteApp requires Windows Server 2012 so I don't think it'll work with Server 2008. The great thing about RemoteApp is it opens the Access 2010 Front End in a unique window, all on its own. The user doesn't need to see the Desktop of the server- they just
    see the Access Navigation Form(s). 
    In brief, on the VM3/AppServer I have a  unique folder for the backend Access data file and a User Account (created in the VM2 Active Directory) for each user with the frontend Access file in C/Users/Username/AppData.
    RemoteApp- when the user logs in via the RemoteApp app- points to that specific user profile's frontend Access db in that location and opens it in its own window on their host computer. And since each FE is linked to a common BE data file everyone uses the
    same data, just like in a regular LAN Server FE/BE setup. 
    It required some changes in the Access app to deal with it- uploading images and files, emailing straight from the app, etc but it was worth it. I also had to pay a development company to set up the 2012 R2 Servers, as I didn't know the details of how to
    do that myself. But I'm managing the setup, ongoing, and it's not so hard to do.
    So now my customers can run the Access app on a PC, Mac, or iPad pretty much anywhere. Excellent way to extend an Access application.. 

  • Adobe CC desktop app is completely blank and OOBE folder is not the solution

    Just bought a new mac pro and transferred all my setting/apps over via Migration Assistant. Adobe programs worked directly after transferring. However, after rebooting nothing worked. I can't remember the specific error messages because it was days ago but I think it kept asking me to install Adobe Applications Manager. Tried that and nothing changed. Tried uninstalling CC, running CC Cleaner Tool, and starting over with a fresh install. Now the desktop app installs but stays blank with no way to login or anything *EXAMPLE. Tried the OOBE folder trick *SOURCE and that doesn't make any change. Also, I have logged out from Adobe on my old machine.
    Any help here would be extremely appreciated! Thanks

    Seems to be working again...!
    So after restart it looked the same... in startup tab it showed the cloud manager. But was not running. Went to my downloads folder where I still had the installer downloaded before my windows restore (the one downloaded yesterday was deleted after windows restore was done). Ran the installer and exually did something this time! It is installed again. At first it looked like it wanted me to download all the programs again even though I checked if they where still working... they did. (via bridge checked updates said they where all up to date).
    Changed the language in the prefs panal under apps to English. Now it all looks like before I ran into this issue.
    Not sure... But my guess is that it had to do with the latest windows update.
    So... no need for a chat with support anymore
    But... I do hope adobe will update the cloud manager asap so I can update my windows again.

  • Updated to 10.5.7 via Combo Update, FCSvr Desktop App doesn't open

    Last week I updated two Dual G5 2.5's to 10.5.7 via the Combo Update. Upon completion, the Final Cut Server.app desktop application wouldn't open. I tried re-downloading the app from our server, and my machine opened the Final Cut Server.jnlp file in TextEdit as if Java wasn't installed. So I downloaded the Java Update 4 for 10.5 from Apple. Now I can run the Final Cut Server application only if I open the Final Cut Server.jnlp file. I deleted the Final Cut Server.app, and cleared all cache files using Java Preferences in the Utilities folder (I no longer have a Java folder there, just the Java Preferences app) and reinstalled the Final Cut Server.app, so I'd have a fresh app. Still doesn't work. When I double-click it, the icon expands but nothing happens. In my console, I get this message:

    Done. Deleted all files mentioned. Then downloaded and reinstalled the update 4. No change whatsoever.
    I really thought this would work though. The Final Cut Server program redownloaded, prompted me to install the desktop app, which I did, and then gave me the initial licensing agreement. Final Cut Server opened, but then when I quit it and tried to open it via the new desktop app, I got this in the console:

  • Why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

    why is it a shared folder in the music app and why do i need internet to listen to it?

    Try in order:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod since you may have corruption that is now in your backup
    Based on the info you provided it appears you did the restore from backup and sitll have problems.  Thus, I would just restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Allow desktop interaction within Azure Cloud Service with third-party desktop app (automated via code)

    Hello,
    I am developing a wrapper service as Worker Role which will take request from Service Bus and automate a third-party desktop app to produce an output file and then upload result back to our web server.  The automation is accomplished with the app's
    built-in .Net remoting based API.  This all works on my local development machine.  I am using code as below to start the desktop app.  In Azure:
    If I am not logged on to RDP and run the app as SYSTEM (or whatever the default WorkerRole account is), it waits forever for the MainWindowHandle.
    if I start the app manually in the RDP and try to get a reference to the running process (again as SYSTEM), I get Access Denied from WaitForInputIdle.
    if I start the app from code as the RDP user (ProcessStartInfo assign user/pass), I get InvalidOperationException - the app might not have a graphical interface from the WaitForInputIdle.
    Could anyone suggest the proper strategy for starting processes in a Worker Role that must create a window?
    For reference, I only care about the window to the extent that I need to make sure it's there.  All other interaction with the process is via the .Net Remoting API.
    private void GetOrStartThirdPartApp()
    _process = Process.GetProcessesByName("ThirdPartApp").FirstOrDefault();
    if (_process == null)
    _process = new Process();
    _process.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(@"-I ""{0}""", config.GetSetting("RolePath"));
    _process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = config.GetSetting("WorkingFolder");
    _process.StartInfo.FileName = config.GetSetting("ExecutablePath");
    _process.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = true;
    _process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    if (config.GetSettingAsBoolean("StartThirdPartAppWithRunAs", false))
    _process.StartInfo.UserName = "user";
    var password = new SecureString();
    foreach (var c in "thepassword".ToCharArray())
    password.AppendChar(c);
    _process.StartInfo.Password = password;
    _process.Start();
    while (_process.MainWindowHandle == IntPtr.Zero) Thread.Sleep(50);
    _process.WaitForInputIdle();
    _process.Exited += _process_Exited;

    I'd keep the app with the UI and the queue reader in the same process and account - not a worker role.  On start up you launch the desktop application and the queue reader in the same account, one after another.
    From what I've experienced, two users don't have the same
    Window Stations, so you can't pass a window handle in a different logged-in account across that boundary.  Read the Window Station documentation - you may find something that helps.
    You could use other techniques like sockets to communicate cross-process and cross-window station, too.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Update 1.9.1.474 sets sync folder back to default (windows)

    Hi All,
    Second time this has happened with an update to Creative Cloud Desktop App (Windows).
    Update completes correctly but then notice that file sync is going mad and is re-syncing everything but to the default location (usually user\username\ - in Win 8.1).
    Last time this occurred I seemed to get some loss of files.
    I've now let it re-sync everything to the default location and then resetting it to the previous location (where files are still present - but is on a different drive).
    Surprised to hear Support (Swati) hasn't heard this occur before but thought it worth putting it out there to both warn others and see if its just me!
    This was for definite with update 1.9.1.474 of Creative Cloud Desktop (And think it was with the previous mandatory release).
    Cheers,
    M

    Hi Mark,
    as you correctly point out with the recent update of the Creative Cloud Desktop app (1.9.1.474) we unfortunately introduced a bug which causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder, and re-sync of all content. This will only occur the first time the sync application runs after the update. This has caused understandable pain and confusion, for which we truly apologise.
    The Creative Cloud Files app contains logic that supports the use of multiple Adobe IDs. This allows you to sign out of one ID and in to another, but keeps your Creative Cloud content separate. When you sign out and change IDs, the app moves the previous Creative Cloud Files folder and it's contents and appends it with the previously signed in ID (User@AdobeID). It then creates a new main folder and starts to sync content of the new ID.
    The bug which I mentioned previously occurs, as the app believes an ID switch has taken place and as such, moves the current Creative Cloud Files folder and tries to append the previously signed in ID. As no switch has actually taken place it manifests as (Unknown).  The app then creates a new main folder at syncs down the data.
    Essentially what you end up with is a Creative Cloud Files folder with your newly sync'd data and a Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.
    This occurs once, after the last update completes.
    The fix is to simply delete the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    I would advise that you ensure you have no pending edits that you may have made offline and that you check the contents of the new, main Creative Cloud Files folder contains everything you expect it to.  If not, check the contents of the Creative Cloud Files (Unknown) folder.
    If there is still a discrepancy with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm your data is there.
    If you have any further problems or questions about this particular issue please email [email protected]

  • Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine?

    Why has my 8x8 desktop app on my Macbook Pro running OS X Yosimite 10.10.1 suddenly stopped working while the app on my iPhone and the online service both work fine? Is this because of some recent software update by Apple? 8x8 support acknowledges issues with no current work-arounds? The 8x8 desktop app worked until early December, then quit. I've deleted and re-downloaded the app, but no difference.

    The solution is :
    1. Delete iPhone configuration utility. Just drop it to the trash
    2. Run
    sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.*
    rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoneConfigurationUtility.plist*
    3. Delete the whole folder: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
    4. Reinstall iTunes (just over the previous one)
    5. Restart

  • Problem running app via web start shortcut icon

    Hi,
    I need to install my application using java web start. I have created the jnlp file and when I run the jnlp file by double clicking on it, my app is starting well. Shortcut and desktop icons are being created. But when I double click on the desktop icon, then app does not run at all. In the log file , I notice that it is referring to some other location rather than the cache location and says "File not found".
    Same way, when I use an html file to run the app, then my app does not run at all. That is, the html file displays a link, such that when I click on the link, the jnlp file is run. But app does not start. Log says it is referring to still another location and says "File not found". Can anyone help me out...
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, this is with IE as the default browser. But, the FileNotFound Exception is not raised for the jnlp file. Instead FileNotFound Exception is raised for other files/folders used in my Application.
    JNLP file is present in the web start cache. Sorry for not telling this clearly in my first post....
    Actually what I need to do is to deploy Jetty server through web start. Jetty's "start.jar" has the main class and this class refers to the xml files and keystores in "etc" folder in the jetty home directory. As I need to transfer them through web start, I pack the "etc" folder into "etc.jar" and transfer it. When I run the JNLP file directly, jetty server is started. But, running the web start icon does not start the server.
    I get the following exception in the console...
    "java.io.FileNotFoundException:C:\Documents and Settings\..\Desktop\etc\jetty.xml(The system cannot find the path specified)
    Is there a way to embed Jetty server in web start....?

  • Cannot access Story via desktop app (OS X 10.7.3)

    I cannot access my online account via the Desktop app though I am able access my account via Firefox web browser.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.7.3 on a 2007 MacBook Pro.  I have tried to uninstall (including system files) and re-install the
    app with no success.  Do you have any suggestions?

    No, not at all. It used to work on the same OS Lion. And just for an FYI, the system preference path that you recommended DOES NOT work with OS X 10.7.2....maybe it worked with the 10.7.2 but not with the latest. Do you have any recommendation?
    Here are two screenshots of the error that I get. The first one is the error that I get when I input my right username and password. I tried to check if it was a matter of wrong password, but it is not as you can see on screenshot 2. So I need help!!!
    And btw it says that I am running Adobe Story build 838. I cannot install any other version.

  • Switch to fullscreen in a desktop app which is running windowed

    I have a desktop application that runs with a transparent masked border, so since it's not a fullscreen application i have <fullScreen>false</fullScreen> in the app descriptor. BUT I'd like to be able to switch to fullscreen mode in some instances. I try to do so with:
    stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
    But this doesn't seem to work. The app is still not fullscreen after issuing that line. I suppose it's because of the descriptor, but if I set  <fullScreen>true</fullScreen> the app will start fullscreen, which I don't necessarily want (usually it's a windowed application with transparent chrome).
    So is this possible?
    Thanks!

    I have a desktop app using <fullScreen>false</fullScreen> in the app descriptor and have no problems switching between fullscreen mode or windowed mode just by setting stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; or stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.NORMAL;
    There may be something else at play causing the fullscreen mode to fail.
