Running VB Scripts from OIM

Hi,
I need to run some VBScripts. Currrently I am calling them giving a path name.
Is there a better way to do it like having it under some folder in OIM. If yes, any pointers on how to call and use them ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

IDCS5-win. Error while running a script from indesign(not via estk)

Hi all,
After running the script from indesign, I get following error
ASSERT '(engine->getDebugFlags() & ScScript::kExtendedErrors) == ScScript::kExtendedErrors' in ..\..\..\source\components\script\javascript\JavaScriptRunner.cpp at line 412 failed.
..\..\..\source\components\script\javascript\JavaScriptRunner.cpp (412)
any idea about this?
The script runs fine when run from ES tool kit.
Thanks

Hi,
My colleague found the problem. We were using extendables library and we still haven't figured out what was actually happening, but removing it solved the problem.

How to run a script from Oracle Form (Beside using HOST command)

I would like to run a script from Forms 6.0. I know that we can actually issue this command :
host('plus80.exe' username/password@connect_string @c:\scriptname);
BUT, is there any other alternative ?

Sqlplus is a different program, so one way or the other you have to leave Forms to run sqlplus. What is you objection against HOST?
You can also run sqlplus from the database, but again you need a stored java procedure to call sqlplus (sort of HOST command that runs in the database).
Francois' solution works if your script just has a query to run, but if you have specific sqlplus commands (spool etc.) forms_ddl is probably not a solution.

Running SQLPLUS script from command prompt on SUN

We are making a migration from VMS to SUN ( SunOS 5.10) and from 9i to 10g. We have encountered an unanticipated problem with running scripts from the command line in SUN(SQLPLUS execution from the command line). All of our packages have a naming convention such as "DM$LOAD.PKB". I know it is a strange naming convention.
The problem is that when the package creation script is run in SQLPLUS at the command prompt SQLPLUS can not open the file.
SQL> @dm$load.pb
SP2-0310: unable to open file "dm$load.pb"
SQL> host ls
dm$load.pkb
SQL>
Setting the escape character does not seem to help.
SQL> set escape '\'
SQL>
SQL> @dm\$load.pb
SP2-0310: unable to open file "dm$load.pb"
SQL>
Unfortunately, we can not rename the scripts. This can be done from a shell script, but our Tech Services refuse to run the SQL scripts from a shell script
Any ideas on how to get SQLPLUS to run the scripts from the SUN command line?

I did not notice that the cut and paste was poor. It should have read
SQL> @dm$load.pkb
SP2-0310: unable to open file "dm$load.pkb"
SQL> host ls
dm$load.pkb
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Running sql scripts from different directory

Hi
I have sql scripts in different directories as follows:
D:\myapp\sql
- load.sql
- init.sql
D:\myapp\sql\schema
-users.sql
-structure.sql
D:\myapp\sql\populate\
- data1.sql
- data2/sql
load.sql call all the other scripts as below:
@init.sql
@schema\users.sql
@schema\structure.sql
@populate\data1.sql
@populate\data2.sql
All my scripts run correctly when I run load.sql from D:\myapp\sql on comand prompt.
I need a way to run this script from a different directory say D:\ or C:\
I am writing a installer which will execute from a different directory.
Right now I get a file not found error for scripts within schema an populate folder.
Please let me know how can I make this work from a different directory.
Thanks

Hi peter. i think you cannot run files spread across different locations.
--the method which u specified always looks to the defined path

Valid sesion for run jython script from a plan

If I run a cr_clij script i have to do
app.execStr('udb.login -u user -p password') once and do not produce the login information anymore.
It is possible to do the same with the sessionID, if I run the script from a plan on the BUI? Or do I have to add the '-s sessionID' option to all clui commands?
Thanks

Hi TemPart:
string cmdArg = “C:\\Scripts\\test.ps1″;
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(cmdArg);
Collection [PSObject] results = pipeline.Invoke(); // please Update [] bracket with less then and greater then bracket
runspace.Close();
Had to modify this slightly:
string cmdArg = “Powershell.exe -file C:\\Scripts\\test.ps1″;
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
pipeline.Commands.AddScript(cmdArg);
Collection [PSObject] results = pipeline.Invoke(); // please Update [] bracket with less then and greater then bracket
runspace.Close();
If this is helpful please mark it so. Also if this solved your problem mark as answer.

Run a script from a script

Can anyone help me run a script from a script to kill an event listener?
There is an event listener on save. The same script may be run multiple times before changing workflows (which require different sets of scripts).
The eventual goal is to have a time stamp in a specific text frame that will already have content. The new stamp will overwrite the old, and only happen before close. Right now it's set for "on save" because I can't figure out an if else statement for "before close". I don't want to have to end the session to be able to work different job types. I need to be able to kill the event listener when exiting documents that create one.
I'm throwing crap at the wall, hoping it will stick. I'm sure there's a better way to handle it. Anyone have ideas.

Thanks

Here's the kind of thing I use:
function runShortRanges() {
    var shortRangesScript = File(getScriptPath().parent.parent + "/IndexExtras/ShortRanges.jsx");
    if (shortRangesScript.exists) {
      app.doScript(shortRangesScript);
In this case, I want to run a particular script in a known location, only if it exists. It's a way of adding optional functionality to a script.

When I run my script from a shortcut ExtendScript is invoked, but it is not when I run it the menu

I am using Photshop CS2 on Win XP
I have configured a keyboard shortcut (Crtl+Alt+P) to run a .jsx file from the ...\Presets\Scripts\ folder.
When I activate the script via the Keyboard Shortcut ExtendScript is invoked, and breaks execution on the main() statement (see below).
When I activate the script via the File/Scripts menu ExtendScript is not invoked and the script runs to completion.
The .jsx file is a wrapper for a .vbs script which does the 'real' work.
The .jsx is:-
function main()
var VBSscript=File("C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS2/Presets/Scripts/GGN_PS_Code_v1_2.vbs");
if(VBSscript.exists) VBSscript.execute();
main();
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to disable the invokation of ExtendScript when I run the script from the skortcut?

Thanks Paul.
I am out of the office at the moment, but your answer rings true. Certainly the .jsx extension is associated with ExtendScript. I'll delete the association and try again when I am back in the office.
Many thanks

Running ISA Scripts from SSL enabled IOP server?

Running Oracle Scripts from Command Line

Hi,
How can i run Oracle scripts from command line.
Actually i need to run these scripts from MSBuild before running Unit test projects

C:\>sqlplus @myscript
That would be the easiest variation
C:\>sqlplus user/passwd@tns_alias @myscript
would be an often used variation
And then there is of course the version with parameter passing:
C:\>sqlplus user/passwd@tns_alias @myscript param1 ... paramx
Dunno about MSBuild

Running sqlplus scripts from Java code?

hi
I need to programmatically run sqlplus scripts from Java code on a machine that doesn't have sqlplus installed.
Is there any Java class library available for doing this?

The Ant approach could probably work for me, thanks for the tip.
The setup seems rather complex however, given the simplicity of the task. I would prefer just running a Java based SQL*Plus from in a separate process or doing this via an API that would allow me to run SQL*Plus scripts (parse script, substitute variables, run statements).
Oracle SQL Developer v1.1 appears to include an API that does exactly this.
The ScriptParser, Substitution and SQLPLUS classes in the oracle.dbtools.raptor.scriptrunner package (oracle.sqldeveloper.jar) seem to do just what I need based on my tests.
Can I use these classes for this purpose in my application? Is repackaging allowed?
Does Oracle have any plans for releasing this sort of functionality separately e.g. as part of the Instant Client?

How can i run unix script from my apex page

how can i run unix script from my apex page and take the output of unix script as a hidden variable and display it on the report region of that page

I had a requirement to run a Fortran program against some data that woudl be extracted from the database after the user set up their filtering criteria and made some additional input. SInce the program was to complex to conver to PL/SQL, we decided to try and invoke it from Apex. This is how I did it.
1. I followed the steps in Tim Archer's excellent article "Oracle External Procedure to Run Host Commands" (http://www.timarcher.com/?q=node/9). If the link does nto work, google the article's title.
Using this steps I created a function which accepts any OS command, including calling my own shell scripts, and runs them. I called my PL/SQL function "shell" instead of "USF_RUN_HOST_CMD " as Tim did in his example (step 9).
2. In Apex,
a. I created a button to run my shell command. (I named it P2_RUN_SHELL)
b. I created a PL/SQL process whose source looks as follows:
shell('/home/ackness/scripts/cr_xcf_file.sh > /tmp/cr_scfp_file.log');
and which was conditioned on the the button P2_RUN_SHELL.
It works like a charm.
Note: since you can run your own scripts using this method, you can encapsulate a series of commands in a UNIX shell script and invoke that script from Apex. This allows you to be able to test or run you commands from the command line as well as Apex and makes it easier to develop/debug/enhance the scripts in the future.

Can you open a file in PS & run a script from LR?

So one of my commercial clients wants their product files in a variety of formats, including PNG with transparency. I'd love to be able to provide them with this from LR, but you can't export as a PNG. So I've written a script which takes the active document in PS, turns off the relevant layers, converts to sRGB, and saves as a PNG. Is there any way for me to invoke this script from LR, as I am opening the document? Ideally, I'd like to include it in the "Edit in" menu, as a menu item which would invoke PS and run the script. That way I could simply select the images, and get them processing while I do something else. Or do I have to open all the files and then run the script on all the open files?

99jon (à Johannes de Vilder) il y a 2 mois
Images are automatically saved back to the LR library but you need to follow a logical sequence for LR to render the export copy. You need to start the round trip from LR as follows and use the save command (Ctrl+S) not save as:
1) Ctrl+E in the Library to export selected image with develop settings (I choose PSD but tiff is also available in the prefs)
2) Edit in Photoshop; then Ctrl+S to replace (overwrite) Lightroom export copy
3) Ctrl+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom thumbnail. The saved copy is usually stacked next to the original so don't worry about XMP.
On Mac OSX Cmd+E; Cmd+S; Cmd+W

Running Shell script from command line

Hi,
I am getting a Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TestRuntime/java error when I run the following code on my linnux box...can anyone please help
import java.io.*;
public class TestRuntime {
        public static void main(String args[]) {
                Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); //get runtime information
        try {
                        Process Child = runtime.exec("/usr/bin/ksh"); // execute command
                        BufferedWriter outCommand = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Child.getOutputStream()));
                        outCommand.write("/home/mypath/tesh.csh");
                        outCommand.flush();
                        try {
                                Child.waitFor(); // wait for command to complete
                        } catch (InterruptedException e) { // handle waitFor failure
                                System.out.println("ERROR: waitFor failure");
                                System.exit(10); // exit application with exit code 10
                } catch (IOException e) { // handle exec failure
                        System.out.println("ERROR: exec failure" + e);
                        System.exit(11); // exit application with exit code 11
}

If I'm reading your code correctly, you're starting a Korn shell session, then executing your C shell script as if you were at at the session window's prompt. If that is correct, you haven't caused your standard out (stdout) to hit ENTER yet. I'm not an expert, but I hope this works for you.
Your code:
Process Child = runtime.exec("/usr/bin/ksh"); // execute command
                        BufferedWriter outCommand = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Child.getOutputStream()));
                        outCommand.write("/home/mypath/tesh.csh");
                        outCommand.flush();I think you need to enter one extra line before the flush():
Process Child = runtime.exec("/usr/bin/ksh"); // execute command
                        BufferedWriter outCommand = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(Child.getOutputStream()));
                        outCommand.write("/home/mypath/tesh.csh");
                        outCommand.newLine(); // hit ENTER
                        outCommand.flush();P.S. If you're running this script and your Java program from the same UNIX machine, you could just execute the shell script inside the runtime.exec() call.
