Running multiple scripts

When an Applescript is run from the Applescript-menu-bar-menu and I start another script it seems as though the first script silently terminates. At least it never finishes.
I haven't been able to find out what causes this or how to workaround this. Anybody any suggestions?

This link isn't discussing about what I meant.
I was saying that I run a script (.scpt) by selecting it from the Main-menubar. There's a script icon there on the right next to the eject-icon on my system. The particular script takes normally about 1.5hours to complete. However, when I start another script in the same way the first one never finishes.
Instead, it seems that the second one takes over execution and OSX apparently "forgets" about the first one.

How to run multiple scripts in sql*plus?

I would like to run 2 scripts in sql*plus, how do I do this? I tried the following, but it won't run.
create table student_new
AS
select *
from student
insert into student_new
(last_name, first_name
values
(Crop, Jenny)
The above are the two scripts I want to run, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks

Do you have a solution to run multiple scripts continuosly, one after the other as one script.
Say I have file1.sql file2.sql, file3.sql.
I want to create a script run.sql, where this will run file1.sql,file2.sql,file3.sql one after other without any one running one after the other like follows:
run.sql should have
begin
@file1.sql
@file2.sql
@file3.sql
dbms_output.put_line(select sysdate from dual);
end;
If I run run.sql all the three scripts should be executed successfully and then display the current time . All these files have update statements(50,000 updates each file).
Very urgetn. Can some one hlpe, please.
Thanks in advance.

(1,2)You are missing a semicolon here after the insert

can you cut and paste the screen output which you are running.
paste the script or code in between two tags.

Running multiple scripts in one DataManager package

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to run several scripts across different application in one DM package?
cause I need to run a sequence of scripts that does one huge job and don't want to trouble users to click on many different packages...
If it's doable. Can anyone post an example how this can be done? Big thanks...
, Jim Hsu

Hi Jim,
I'm assuming you're running BPC on MS, not NW? On MS, it's pretty easy.
Let's say you want to run two logic tasks SomeFinanceLogic.lgx in the Finance app, and SomeSalesLogic.lgx in the Sales apps. You'll call this task from the Finance app.
I'll take the standard FX Translation package as an example. Here is the existing MODIFYSCRIPT code in the eData -> Organize Package Lists -> Advanced screen:
'DEBUG(ON)
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"Select whether to check work status settings when running logic.",1,{"Yes, check for work status settings before running logic","No, do not check work status settings"},{"1","0"})
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,"Please select category, entity and time for restatement",%CATEGORY_DIM%%ENTITY_DIM%%TIME_DIM%)
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\FXTrans.lgx)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)
The task name "Execute formulas" corresponds to the same task name that you'll find, when you open the DTSX file in BI Dev Studio.
Make a copy of FXTrans.dtsx and call it TwoAppLogic.dtsx.
Open the new dtsx file in BI Dev Studio, and copy the existing Execute formulas task so there are now 2 tasks. Sequence them together, and for clarity rename them to "Finance logic" and "Sales logic". If it matters logically which runs first, then sequence them accordingly. Save the DTSX file.
Then add the package in eData -> Organize package list, and modify the script in the "advanced" window as follows:
'DEBUG(ON)
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%CHECKLCK%,"Select whether to check work status settings when running logic.",1,{"Yes, check for work status settings before running logic","No, do not check work status settings"},{"1","0"})
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,"Please select category, entity and time for restatement",%CATEGORY_DIM%%ENTITY_DIM%%TIME_DIM%)
' these apply to the finance app logic
TASK(Finance logic,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Finance logic,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Finance logic,APP,FINANCE)
TASK(Finance logic,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Finance logic,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\Finance\SomeFinanceLogic.lgx)
TASK(Finance logic,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Finance logic,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(Finance logic,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)
' these apply to the sales app logic
TASK(Sales logic,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Sales logic,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Sales logic,APP,SALES)
TASK(Sales logic,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Sales logic,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\Sales\SomeSalesLogic.lgx)
TASK(Sales logic,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Sales logic,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(Sales logic,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)

Multiple scripts running at the same time?

Is there a way to have multiple scripts successfully running at the same time?
At the moment if I start a second script while the first one is still running, the second one completes successfully but the first one stops. This seems to be because the first one is no longer the active document once the second one opens so can't continue.
Is there another way to script things like this so that multiple can run independently at the same time? You might ask why I'd want to run two at the same time and not just wait, but i've setup an asp.net web form front end and having problems if two people click the button around the same time.
I'm guessing this isn't going to be possible and i'm going to have to look for ways of doing this in asp.net instead and somehow queue the requests so you have to wait longer if the script is already running?
Thanks,
Andy

This is correct. The scripting interface to PS is single-threaded so you will need to queue up requests.

Running Ecatt script multiple times

I have created a ecatt script for ME21N. I need the script to run multiple times.So,i have used Do Enddo statement and put the number of times to be executed.
The script is running fine for the first time. then its not running. From the second time,its putting blank values into the fields and not saving the data.
How can i run the script multiple times.
Thanks,
Aparna.

Hello,
When you run the script multiple time then you will have to pass different values to the fields so that every time the script is run with new set of values and the data is created.
So in the script you will have to parameterize the fields and then handle the position of the fields so that when the script is run for the first loop counter the data is maintained in the first line of the transaction(for example) and the increament the counter for the second run so that the control moves to the second line for the second execution similarly for the multiple runs.
Alternatively parameterize the fields with the table containing so many entries as the number of times you want to run the script and for each execution one set of entry from the table is picked and used in the execution for the next run the second set of values is used and so and so forth.
Hope it answers your question.
Thanks and Best regards,
Ajay

I have a request from a customer to run a script to create multiple Usernames and Passwords on ACS5.3 appliance.

I have a request from a cutomer to run a script to create multiple username and password on ACS5.3 Appliance. Does anyone has any suggestion on how to go about this?

Have you tried using the import option on the ACS? You can put all your accounts in a csv file and upload it into the ASA.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/users_id_stores.html#wp1132152
If that doesnt work you can use the REST Web Services in ACS also:

Applescript: How to run a script once upon logon for multiple users

I'm deploying a NetRestore image to about 150 Macs which will be using Active Directory and I've designed a custom default user for each new user. However, our system requires a specialized certificate that has to be installed on the local login.keychain for each user otherwise network connectivity is impacted.
I've tried to use the security command through Terminal to install the certificate, but no matter what combination of commands, I cannot seem to get that to work properly even with an already-created user. While it will often say it's installed, the cert will not actually show up in the login keychain in Keychain Access. And the network connectivity is still impacted.
So instead, I created a brief AppleScript that just gives the user brief instructions to click "Add" on the prompt for which Keychain to add the cert and then "Always Trust" for the "This cert is not verified" prompt. Then it launches Keychain Access. Originally, I was going to have it actually click the buttons for the user, but I realized trying to get the whole Accessibility apps and assitive devices to work on every new user would be a nightmare.
I created the script on another 10.9 Mac using Automator to make it an actual application. I've used the instructions in OS X: Using AppleScript with Accessibility and Security features in Mavericks to sign it and I'm using root to move it from its network location into the Applications folder. I've adjusted the permissions to allow all Admin users to r/w (along with everyone else). To the root user, it shows as a usable application, but every other user on the Mac sees it as damaged/incomplete.
What I want to do is add it to the default Login Items, so I can run the final AppleScript command to simply remove the login items listing. That way I don't need to worry about it running again, but it's still available for the next user to sign onto the deployed Mac.
I know it's a little convoluted, but this is the final piece to the NetRestore deployment I've been working on for months. Any suggestions on how to make this work (or even a completely different solution) would be greatly appreciated.
Here was the original shell script in case you're curious.
#!/bin/bash
## Prompt for current user admin for use in Certificate Install
while :; do # Loop until valid input is entered or Cancel is pressed.
    localpass=$(osascript -e 'Tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Enter your password for Lync Setup:" default answer "" with hidden answer' -e 'text returned of result' 2>/dev/null)
    if (( $? )); then exit 1; fi # Abort, if user pressed Cancel.
    localpass=$(echo -n "$localpass" | sed 's/^ *//' | sed 's/ *$//') # Trim leading and trailing whitespace.
    if [[ -z "$localpass" ]]; then
        # The user left the password field blank.
        osascript -e 'Tell application "System Events" to display alert "You must enter the local user password; please try again." as warning' >/dev/null
        # Continue loop to prompt again.
    else
        # Valid input: exit loop and continue.
        break
    fi
done
echo $localpass | sudo security import /'StartupFiles'/bn-virtual.crt ~/Library/Keychain/login.keychain
osascript -e 'tell Application "System Events" to delete every login item whose name is "LyncCert"
And this is the AppleScript itself. (I used the \ to make it easier to read. The first line is actually one complete command)
display dialog "Click OK to start installing Mac Network Certificate." & return & return & \
"In the following prompts, click the 'Add' then 'Always Trust'." & return & return & \
After you have clicked 'Always Trust', quit Keychain Access." default button 1 with title \
"Mac Network Certificate Install"
activate application "Keychain Access"
tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file "/StartupFiles/bn-virtualcar.crt"
tell application "System Events" to delete login item "Lync-AppleScript"
end
Thank you for your help!

I have run into this same issue. Are you trying to run the script one time as a new user logs in or everytime a user logs in?

Pass multiple Automator variables to Run Shell Script?

I have two Automator variables I'd like to pass to Run Shell Script. I'm missing something obvious, but how is this done?
Thanks in advance

i don't know a nice way to do it but in general any input passed to a shell script will be stored in $@ if input is passed as arguments.
in particular, if you stack two "get value of variable actions" one after another and follow it by "run shell script" both variables will be stored in $@ as a list. just try it out with the default
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"
done
You'll see that both variables will be echoed.

How can i run multiple instances of Photoshop EXE at the same time on windows 7

Alright. You may ask why do you need multiple ?
Assume that i have 10000 PSD files in 10 different folders
I have a script that just save as them as PNG
And these files are each 3000x3000 px
My computer has 8 cores and 1 photoshop exe is only using 1 cpu core
Also i have SSD raid system it has 750 mb read write per second
So right now i am wasting my time with running only 1 photoshop exe instead of at least 4

I'm not aware of a way to run multiple instances or different versions of photoshop at the same time on windows.
Assuming of course they are all installed on the same operating system.
On mac versions you can running two different versions of photoshop at the same time, but i don't think that's possible on windows where it
appears that only one version of photoshop can run at a time.

How to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller

we are using VS 2013, I need to run multiple Coded UI Ordered Tests in parallel on different agents.
My requirement :
Example: I have 40 Coded UI Test scripts in single solution/project. i want to run in different OS environments(example 5 OS ). I have created 5 Ordered tests with the same 40 test cases.
I have one Controller machine and 5 test agent machines. Now I want my tests to be distributed in a way that every agent gets 1 Ordered test to execute.
Machine_C = Controller (Controls Machine_1,2,3,4,5)
Machine_1 = Test Agent 1 (Should execute Ordered Test 1 (ex: OS - WIN 7) )
Machine_2 = Test Agent 2 (Should execute Ordered Test 2 (ex:
OS - WIN 8) )
Machine_3 = Test Agent 3 (Should execute Ordered Test 3
(ex: OS - WIN 2008 server) )
Machine_4 = Test Agent 4 (Should execute Ordered Test 4 (ex:
OS - WIN 2012 server) )
Machine_5 = Test Agent 5 (Should execute Ordered Test 5 (ex:
OS - WIN 2003 server) )
I have changed the “MinimumTestsPerAgent” app setting value
as '1' in controller’s configuration file (QTController.exe.config).
When I run the Ordered tests from the test explorer all Test agent running with each Ordered test and showing the status as running. but with in the 5 Test Agents only 2 Agents executing the test cases remaining all 3 agents not executing the test cases but
status showing as 'running' still for long time (exp: More then 3 hr) after that all so its not responding.
I need to know how I can configure my controller or how I can tell it to execute these tests in parallel on different test agents. This will help me reducing the script execution time.
I am not sure what steps I am missing.
It will be of great help if someone can guide me how this can be achieved.
-- > One more thing Can I Run one Coded UI Ordered Test on One Specific Test Agent?
ex: Need to run ordered Test 1 in Win 7 OS (Test Agent 1) only.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Divakar,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
As far as I know, we cannot specify coded UI ordered test run on specific test agent. And it is mainly that test controller determine which coded UI ordered test assign to which test agent.
Generally, I know that if we want to run multiple CodedUI Ordered Tests over multiple Test Agents for parallel execution using Test Controller.
We will need to change the MinimumTestsPerAgent property to 1 in the test controller configuration file (QTControllerConfig.exe.config) as you said.
And then we will need to change the bucketSize number of tests/number of machines in the test settings.
For more information about how to set this bucketSize value, please refer the following blog.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aseemb/archive/2010/08/11/how-to-run-automated-tests-on-different-machines-in-parallel.aspx
You can refer this Jack's suggestion to run your coded UI ordered test in lab Environment or load test.

Running Multiple queries in Oracle 10g Express Edition! Help Me!

I am new to Oracle 10g Express Edition.
I used my browser to navigated to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
I saw the database page.. logged in.. went into the SQL section.. now am not able to run two or more queries at the same time.. i have given a screenshot too. Plz.. check it and reply me quickly..

Help me plz..
Prasanna.

There are two possibilities:
1) Run the SQL commands, one command at a time;
2) Create a script of multiple commands, and run the script.
These are discussed in some detail in the online documentation at http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage
In particular, look at
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25108/xedev_sql.htm#BJEIEIFJ

Parallel execution of multiple scripts

Hi All,
I understand that by using parallel hint we can achieve parallel execution of the queries(insert/update/delete).
For my today's question I would like know if Parallelism can be achieved for the following scenario.
I have a script with an insert-select statement and multiple merge statements and few update statements all on the same table.
I have to run this script 12 times on the same table, once for each month of the year.
Currently we run for Jan (where record_date = '201001') commit it, and then run for Feb, and so on.
Can all the 12 month be run in parallel. One way I can think of is create 12 different scripts and kick them of by opening 12 different SQL Plus sessions (all on the same table).
Is there a better way of doing this ?
Note: each month data will not effect the other other month data.
Regards,
Aj

Creating 12 different scripts would be a sub-optimal solution, and a maintenance nightmare. Creating 1 parametrized script and call that 12 times with different parameters would be slightly better.
Creating 1 stored procedure with parameters, and run that procedure in the scheduler 12 times would still be better, as everything runs at the server side only.
Your description is deliberately vague, so the possibility of deadlock can not be excluded.

CalcMgrCmdLineLauncher - Running multiple business rules v11.1.2.2.2

Hi,
I'm trying to automate the process of running multiple business rules.
I have a batch script that execute the following code:
CalcMgrCmdLineLauncher.cmd -f:%PasswordFile% /A:TopRight /U:hyp_admin /D:TopRight /R:TrnAgg /F:D:\Scripts\TopRight-BusinessRules\Budget.xml
pause
CalcMgrCmdLineLauncher.cmd -f:%PasswordFile% /A:TopRight /U:hyp_admin /D:TopRight /R:TrnAgg /F:D:\Scripts\TopRight-BusinessRules\Budget.xml
It will execute the first line successfully, Ii.e. run 'TrnAgg' with the rtp file 'budget.xml'). However, the window closes before it pauses or attempts to execute the second line.
Does anyone know how i can make it return from the first line, rather than closing the window, and then continue with the rest of the script?
I know I can use a ruleset, however they take the default prompt values and i'd like to pass in different RTPs.
Many Thanks,
Jo.

Try using a call or cmd /c before Calcmgrlauncher.cmd
