SCCM does not wait for Soft Reboot in deployments with dependencies

This is a difficult thing to search for due to its granularity, so I apologize if this is a repeat topic.
I am deploying an application with a dependency that returns the '3010' code to tell client to perform a Soft Reboot. The outcome I intended was for SCCM to install the dependency, wait for a reboot (as is the nature of the Soft Reboot to my knowledge) and
then continue with the installation of the primary application after the user reboots.
However, in practice this is not what SCCM does. Instead, it seems that the notice for a Soft Reboot is acknowledged by the client, noted by the expected popup the user sees as well as the 'restart required' message in Software Center, but the deployment
process continues on in the background with the installation of the primary application being deployed. It almost seems like a bug, but maybe this is the intended behavior of SCCM 2012. I just can't find any documentation anywhere that speaks to this.

I think this may have been a misunderstanding on my part about the specific definitions of "Hard Reboot" vs "Soft Reboot". I thought the former would immediately restart the computer, but perhaps it only halts other installations until a restart is performed
by the user? And then a "Soft Reboot" basically would just act as a passive notification to the user that they should restart at some point, but the client itself would not actually take any action?
It was just confusing to me that Software Center displayed the 'restart required' status yet continued with the next part of the deployment.
To actually answer your question, I have not tried configuring the app deployment type to "Configuration Manager client will force a device restart" because to me that sounded like the client would immediately force a reboot regardless of the return code,
but I only wanted the computer to reboot if the application installation returned the '3010' code (it can return others), and thus the default of "Determine behavior based on return codes" seemed the most appropriate option.

WaitFor() Does not wait for Process

Experts,
I have a Process p for a Microsoft Outlook Process OUTLOOK.EXE
Now if there is an Email file (xyz.msg) opened as this process along with my MS Outlook running then,
p.waitFor();
// Where p = runner.exec(shell_command_to_open_msg_file);
does not wait and move further.
But if the MS Outlook is not running, then it waits till I manually close the Email msg file.
How can I handle/overcome the former situation?
Thanks in advance

You can't in java.
What happens is that when outlook is already running then the new attempt to run does the following
1. A application starts
2. It determines that outlook is already running.
3. It focuses that instance
4. It exits.
The last step is what you see. You do not have access to the one that is running because it isn't the same application.
I would suggest examining the business requirements that are driving this. If you allow the user to already have outlook open then it seems rather odd that you are insisting that they exit it anyways. Instead you can pop a dialog and require that they tell you when they are done. Or don't use outlook and use java mail instead.

Second tween does not wait for first to finish

Having a little problem here and as far as I can tell it is
just that the second tween starts before waiting for the first to
finish. Basically on a click event it should slide out a scroll
pane to the bottom of the screen, change the contentpath of the
scroll pane, then slide it back up.
with the code below it just slides up the new movie clip but
does not slide out the old one, if i remove the code for the new
clip to slide up the old one does do the slide out how I want it to
look.
how can I make a pause in between the two to wait.
on (press) {
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
_root.mask._x = 54;
_root.mask._y = 109.3;
_root.scroll_pane.setMask(_root.mask);
switch (_root.loaded_clip)
case 2: var Slide_out:Tween = new Tween(_root.scroll_pane,
"_y", Bounce.easeOut, _root.scroll_pane._y, 900, 3, true); break;
_root.scroll_pane.contentPath = "Search_mc";
var Slide_up:Tween = new Tween(_root.scroll_pane, "_y",
Bounce.easeOut, 900, 109, 3, true);
_root.loaded_clip = 1;
}

Its still not working with that code but I think I can muck
around with it and figure it out, the slide out works on the old
clip now but then the new one never shows up.
The onMotionFinished was basically what I was looking for,
think I can eventually figure it out from here, thanks for the
info.

[Solved] systemd does not wait for the unit to finish

My problem is described in the title. I have made a test by enabling the following unit:
[Unit]
Description=/etc/rc.local Compatibility
[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/bin/sleep 1000
TimeoutSec=0
RemainAfterExit=yes
After=network.target
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
The unit is well started (a process sleep 1000 exists). But with a type=forking, systemd is supposed to hang in this case. Instead, the graphical.target is launched, systemctl list-units mention it as dead, but the display manager is started before the sleep 1000 completes. Ho can I force systemd to wait?

olive, now you're making even less sense. I didn't say the sleep example was stupid and I didn't question your reasons for doing/wanting this.
I suggested you add "Before=display-manager.service" and you respond "I added Before=graphical.target and it didn't change anything."
I also tried to explain why systemd has no reason to delay the display-manager.service. You could have asked for further clarification, as berbae has now done. Let's try a longer explanation.
Service startup
Services can be started in different ways, as configured with Type=. This determines when a service is considered "started" (or when the service's start-up is considered finished). When a service reaches this state (some time after being started), units that are supposed to start After= this service will be started (and no sooner).
With simple systemd has no further information about the start-up process. It launches whatever you specify in ExecStart and this is the main process that continues to run till the service stops. systemd assumes this type of service is started immediately. All the other types have some way for the process to indicate to systemd (either directly or indirectly) when it has finished starting.
Actually oneshot is also a bit special and that is where RemainAfterExit comes in. For oneshot, systemd waits for the process to exit before it starts any follow-up units (and with multiple ExecStarts I assume it waits for all of them). So that automatically leads to the scheme in berbae's last post. However, with RemainAfterExit, the unit remains active even though the process has exited, so this makes it look more like "normal" service with
begin of unit/startup ---- end of startup ------ end of unit
This is the relevant behavior for this thread. First sleep starts, then after 1000 seconds, start-up finishes and follow-up units will be started. Then either the unit dies, or (with RemainAfterExit) it stays "active".
The man page describes how "end of startup" is determined for each Type.
Targets
Targets are meant to group units together, to provide synchronization points (and replace runlevels). When you start a target, all its units will be started (in parallel if possible). The man page says:
Unless DefaultDependencies= is set to false, target units will
implicitly complement all configured dependencies of type Wants=,
Requires=, RequiresOverridable= with dependencies of type After= if the
units in question also have DefaultDependencies=true.
This means that (by default) when a target is requested, all it units are started first. Only after all units have finished starting, the target itself will be started (and since the target doesn't do anything by itself, this startup is basically instantaneous). Without this dependency, the order between the target and its units is unspecified, so in theory the target could finish starting immediately while its units are still being started.
Back to olive
graphical.target has these DefaultDependencies, so it is not started until all its units (like display-manager.service) and other After= dependencies (like multi-user.target) have finished starting. Your sleep service has to be started before multi-user.target starts (again due to default target dependencies). So first display-manager and the sleep service are started and after 1000 seconds, the sleep service finishes starting and then (assuming all other dependencies were quicker) multi-user.target is started and graphical.target as well (assuming display-manager didn't need 1000 seconds).
If you want display-manager.service after the sleep service, add a Before/After line to specify that (this was your original goal and my suggestion).
olive wrote wrote:However, units that are parts of the graphical target are still launched before the graphical target become active. I am still unable to completely delay the starts of the graphical target before a specific unit completes.
It should be clear now how this works. "units that are part of the graphical target" can only mean "units that are wanted/required by the graphical target" but that is basically all the units that are started when you boot your system, because multi-user.target is a part of graphical.target. And your sleep service is a part of multi-user.target, so in fact you're saying you want to delay starting the sleep service until the sleep service completes
What you probably intended was to delay all units that are a part of graphical.target but not of multi-user.target until after the sleep service. I can't think of an easy (or even good) way to do this and this post is already too long, so I'll table that for now.

Program does not wait for user input

Hi everyone,
i am working on a program and there are 2 problems that i can't figure out. Since they are 2 different topics, I will do 2 posts.
Just to give you some background on the program, it is a program that reads 3 txt files into 4 different arrays. The files contain student names, student ID numbers, number of credits and gpas. the user enters the names of the 3 txt files and then is given a list of options to choose from. I am having problems with option 7.
The code lists the student information, but it does not stop to request the name of the student from the user. Instead, it prints the system out line requesting the name and then prints all the information for every student in the file. I can't figure out why this is happening. Here is the code for the option:
                else if (choice == 7)
                        System.out.print("Please enter the student's name: ");
                        student_name= sc.nextLine();
                        for (q= 0; q <= num_students-1; q++)
                                if (student_name.equalsIgnoreCase(studentname[q]))
                                        System.out.println();
                                        System.out.println("Student's name: " + studentname[q]);
                                        System.out.println(studentname[q] + "'s ID#: " + studentid[q]);
                                        System.out.println(studentname[q] + "'s number of credits: " + credits[q]);
                                        System.out.println(String.format(studentname[q] + "'s gpa: " + "%.2f",gpa[q]));
                                        if (gpa[q] < 2.00)
                                                System.out.println(studentname[q] + "'s status: can't graduate");
                                        else if (gpa[q] >= 3.45 && gpa[q] < 3.65)
                                        else if (gpa[q] >= 3.45 && gpa[q] < 3.65)
                                                System.out.println(studentname[q] + "'s status: cum laude");
                                        else if (gpa[q] >= 3.65 && gpa[q] < 3.85)
                                                System.out.println(studentname[q] + "'s status: magna");
                                        else if (gpa[q] >= 3.85)
                                                System.out.println(studentname[q] + "'s status: summa");
                                        else if (gpa[q] >= 2.00 && gpa[q] < 3.45)

                System.out.println();
                System.out.println("1. List student names");

                System.out.println();
                // Option 9 quits program
}          Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I tinkered with the code a bit. Now it will show the info for only one student, however, it is not giving any results. Here is the output I am getting:
Enter your choice: 7
Please enter the student's name: mary
Student's name: null
null's ID#: null
null's number of credits: 0
null's gpa: 0.00
null's status: can't graduate
1. List student names
2. List credits
3. Show total credits
4. List gpas
5. List gpas in ascending order
6. Show weighted average of gpas
7. Show information about a given student
8. Add a new student
9. Quit
Here is the updated code:
                else if (choice == 7)
                        System.out.print("Please enter the student's name: ");
                        student_name= sc.next();
                        for (q= 0; q < num_students; q++)

Creative Cloud file synch misbehaves - does not wait for save operation to complete before throwing an access error

Problem is, the save operation is incomplete when CC tries to access the file. And it jsut gives up. It doesn't wait or retry, which means my file never synchs UNLESS I restart the CC application, or reboots, or renames the file.
Thats silly. Can you change that behaviour please?

How can I not wait for a RFC response

Hi everyone, i want to execute an RFC and not wait for the response, i don´t care, so, is there a way to achieve this ? thanks

Hello Isaac,
If you are calling the RFC from WebDynpro then you have to wait for the RFC response. However, there is a way that you can get early response from a RFC.
Suppose you are using RFC1 in your program and it contains business logic. Now, don't directly call the RFC1, instead, write another RFC2 which calls RFC1 asyncronously. This way, when you call RFC2 it automatically call RFC1 and does not wait for any response for RFC1
You can call RFC1 from RFC2 asynchronously:
CALL FUNCTION RFC1 STARTING NEW TASK taskName
Your WD application will immediately get a response from RFC2 while RFC1 still executing.
To know more about asynchronous RFC refer [Parallel Processing with Asynchronous RFC |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/22/0425c6488911d189490000e829fbbd/content.htm]
Hope this helps

Erased all saved passwords, rebooted, now TB does not ask for new password!

I erased all saved passwords as I've had to change the passwords on my accounts. I then rebooted and now TB does not ask for new password. I have rebooted entire computer and still no change.
Thanks!

I presume you removed the passwords via Tools > Options > Security > Passwords tab.
Do you have these settings in Account Settings:
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account.
* select: 'Check for new messages at start up'
* select: 'check for new messages every eg: 15 minutes'
* select : 'Automatically download new messages'
make other prefered settings and click on OK to save changes.

WaitFor() does not wait!

Hi, I have a small applet that launches a MS Word app and opens a document. In the code I use the waitFor() process method to wait until the MS Word app closes so I can do some processing to the MS Word file.
The code looks like this:
public void openMSWDocument() throws IOException
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start " + outfilePath);
try
p.waitFor();
System.out.println("process complete");
catch (InterruptedException ie)
System.out.println("Process interrupted: " + ie.toString());
for some reason, the process does not wait. Is there something that I am not doing that I should be doing?

Never mind. I found the problem.
It seems that using 'start' in my command line will cause the waitFor() not to work.
The process p is dependant on the 'start' process to complete, so when 'start' terminates (after it launches my windows app) then so does the process p. Hence, waitFor() = 0.
so i used the command line cmd = appFilePath + " " + fileNamePath;
Its works!

Setup.exe does not wait until the installation is done

Hi,
I downloaded ODAC 10.2.0.2.21 from here:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/other/ole-oo4o/ODAC1020221.exe
And after extracting all files, I use this command on cmd:
setup.exe -silent -noconsole -waitforcompletion -force -responsefile <Path>
Furthermore, I have BOOTSTRAP=FALSE on oraparam.ini but setup.exe does not wait until the installation is done.
I only want a way to wait for the installation to complete...
Cheers,
Joan

HP SimplePass not waiting for my finger swipe

I have the HP SimplePass software installed and the Validity driver installed. The fingerprint reader is enabled and working.
My problem is that when I go to enrol my finger the software tells me to click on a figer to enroll it, when I click on the finger the software flashes the enrollment screen, with the 0% loading bar on it, then it switches to a message saying "It looks like you are having some trouble. Do you want to try again." I try again and the same thing happens.
I have made sure the sensor is clean and the blue light beside the sensor is activated. The issue appears to be the program not waiting for me to swipe my finger.
Any help or ideas as to how to fix this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I dislike this series of the Support pages -- there is not a Validity Sensor Driver listed for this Series notebook at the Support pages. It is not common; it does happen for a few models.
Reference:
HP Pavilion dv6-6070ca Entertainment Notebook PC
The problem is that I cannot verify beyond what I can find elsewhere that your fingerprint reader hardware and your software is indeed compatible -- OR that the advice that I can give you is reasonable.
If you end up needing a copy of your Validity Sensor Driver, the following appears to be the correct Driver for your System.
sp55109 Validity Sensor Driver V4.3.205.0
Commentary
The message you are seeing is USUALLY an indication of an incompatibility between the Validity Sensor -- either the Driver / hardware and the version of the HP SimplePass program OR the Driver / hardware and some itch in the File system that impacts the way in which the HP SimplePass program is interpreting the Driver information. This is speculation and based on experience -- I don't have access to the code, to the File System, and I do not work for HP.
The version level of your Validity Sensor Driver, in and of itself, is adequate to allow you to upgrade to a later version of HP SimplePass than the version available at your computer's Support website.
Because you did not indicate which version of HP SimplePass you are running, I assume you do not know, or that you are running an older SimplePass program.
The following might work for you:
Open the file > Click on Download > Click “Open in Adobe Reader”
Instructions to Upgrade HP SimplePass
If your HP SimplePass is not working:
Start here -- it is possible the issue is not one of anything more than just a bad "tangle":
See Page 10 of the document (at writing) –
Follow the Procedure Pile of Rubble - Hard Reset Sequence
Next
If no joy, go back and follow:
Procedure - Update / (Re) Install HP SimplePass
NOTES:
You are using HP SimplePass Series 6 >> Ignore references to Series 8
Pay attention to Order-of-Events

How do I call the subvi in parallel with main VI. Main vi should not wait for the subvi

I have a subvi which takes the parameters like port name, transmit rate, message to transmit over serial port and Start/stop flag. This subvi calls VISA write vi in a loop continuously, till the Start/Stop flag is false, to write a message to serial port at a mentioned transmit rate. This subvi will be called from another VI. Actual intension is to transmit different messages to different ports continuously and stop them when required. In this senario, please provide solution for below points:
1. How do I call the subvi in parallel with main VI. Main vi should not wait for the subvi.
2. How does main vi can control already running subvi in parallel to it. In the above example I would like to start the subvi from main vi when start\stop flag is true and would like to stop it when the flag is false.
3. How do I call the subVI with one set of parameters from main vi, when same subVI is running with other set of parameters already from main vi(subvi being called in a case with different set of parameters each time when the case is called). Means, how do I keep track of reentrant subvi (different calls to same vi)from the same main vi.
