Script paralell tasks

Hey there,
i am currently writing a script to auomate an admt migration.
On two stages, ich have to wait for availability of targets after reboot.
Today i loop with test-connection through my input file, but this is seriell, so if one target fails all the script stops.....
i tried also to start a "SubScript" by an "for /f in input.txt with start /wait My2ndScript.cmd" and similar solutions, but this starts the scripts and does not wait for completion...
Ideal solution would be to start all the tests paralell and wait for the completion...
I found something about PS Workflows, but didnt dig deeper in this technic until now.
So, which ways could you imagine to realize such thing.....

Chris

Hi,
i didnt ask for someone to do this for free!?!
I started a discussion to get feedback of different approaches and views on that topic....
What topic? Are yo asking about WorkFlows?
I apologize. I realize now that you don't speak English. I amguessing that you are asking about WF. I offered alternate approaches.
Are you asking if you should use WF? Are you asking what alternate methods are available.
Please clarify?
I suggest that the fastest method to ping several computers is WF.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Assigning Null to a variable in SSIS script component task

Hi,
I have created a script component task has codes like the one below.
If Row.SessionKey is null, how do I assign it to _prevSessionKey? Currently, I am receiving column reference is null error.
Please help!
publicclassScriptMain : UserComponent
{ int _prevSessionKey;
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
if (Row.Event == 5)
_prevSessionKey = Row.SessionKey;
cherriesh

you can make it like this
publicclassScriptMain : UserComponent
{ int _prevSessionKey;
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
if (Row.Event == 5)
_prevSessionKey = (Row.SessionKey_IsNull? <your default value here> : Row.SessionKey);

Using variables in WLST Script ant task

I have multiple scipts that are run using ant tasks, however, I do not want to have to enter the password every time one of these scripts is executed. Instead I would like to use the following ant task to store the password in a variable/property:
<target name="getPassword" >
     <echo message="Domain: ${domain}" />
<echo message="Username: system" />
<input message="Please enter password:" addproperty="password" />
</target>
I would then like to use that variable/property everytime a script is executed like this:
     <target name="deploy4x">
          <echo message="***** Copying 4X.ear *****" />
          <copy file="${build.path}\jar\4X.ear" todir="${apps.dir}" preservelastmodified="true"/>
          <echo message="***** Updating 4X.ear on ${domain} *****"/>
          <wlst debug="true" fileName="Deploy4X.py" executeScriptBeforeFile="true" failonerror="true" >
               <script>
                    connect('system','%s' % ${password},'%s' % $url)
               </script>
          </wlst>
     </target>
However, the script blows up every time I try to run it b/c of the connect() line. I have also tried connect('system','%s' % password, '%s' % url).
Has anyone else successfully used variables in an Ant WLST Script task?
Thanks.

Hi,
when I use *XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT AS %TEST% = BAS(REVENUE) - it work fine.
BUT ! after my first commit, it seems like the variable value is lost. And the *Xdim_memberset takes all.....
Fortunately enough, *select still contains the variable value after *commit.
Thanks,
Joergen
*Correction !
It actually works, it still contains the variable value after commit !!

Running SFTP from script but Task Scheduler does not like part of it.

Hello,
I am trying to do some (not so) simple file copying using SFTP in this manner:
1) Map a drive to the destination, the SFTP program will not accept UNC paths
2) Use SFTP to copy the files to the target Server
3) Write a Timestamped entry to a log file
4) Remove the source files after copy
5) Remove the drive mapping
Everything works but Step two and that only fails running from the Task Scheduler (W2K8 R2). Running from the command line directly in PowerShell or using the Run box works fine all the way.
The sftp program is BitVise SSH Client using their log utility. The makes the command line very complicated.
The line I use in the Scheduler is powershell "D:\Scripts\SFTP_TPCCommission.ps1" Dev I have also tried using the -command parameter. Again, it only does not work in the scheduler.
Here is how I invoke it:
$CmdLine = "`"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\`" sftpc " + $Server + " -pk=1 -cmd=`"put -o -lf Z:\" + $File + " /TPCCommissions`""
& log ($CmdLine)
I have also tried a Here String to do the same thing. It works the same way.
$ArgText = @"
"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc $Server -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\$File /TPCCommissions"
Any ideas?

In a batch file or at the command (not PS) line the command structure looks like this:
log "D:\\Program Files (x86)\\Bitvise SSH Client\\logs\\" sftpc <user@server> -pk=1 -cmd="put -o -lf Z:\<Source> /<Destination>"
The double slashes are requirement of the log program which calls the sftpc program with its command structure.
The double-quoted section after "-cmd=" is required. The Z: drive is mapped because the SFTP program does not support UNC paths. (Stupid, but that is all I have to work with.
What you see in my post is just the part giving me trouble. I am using PS to keep track of what I am copying to the destination and removing from the source and creating a timestamped log of that activity.
As to the comment about Task Scheduler, I am using it. Like I said, it all works fine from anywhere but the Task Scheduler.

Automating FDM Integration Script in Task Manager

Hi everyone
I have created an Integration Script that copies data from a SQL table to FDM, and is now attempting to automate a daily run in Task Manager.
To do this it seems I need to create a Custom Script to run the following Integration Script:
Function LedgerTrans(strLoc, lngCatKey, dblPerKey, strWorkTableName) I am unable to figure out what to write in the Custom Script to trigger the Integration Script. Can anyone explain or give a sample?
Best regards
Frederik

You don't need a custom script, you can just use the batch process to trigger the import for the POV. You would create a standard batch script using the Batch GUI in the workbench (Tools > Batch processing) and then put empty source files in the OpenBatch folder with the POV for the file name to trigger the import script for the POV.

Executing powershell scripts via Task Scheduler

Hi,
I have a powershell script that I wrote that when executed from the shell works fine but when executed from task scheduler does not work.
In my script, an email is sent out based on the results of the execution. When I run this from the shell, email goes out, when scheduled, no email and there is no indication of errors having occurred anywhere in the system.
Has anyone run into a similar issue?
I did change my powershell execution policy to be unrestricted (both in the x86 and x64 consoles). I am running Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks - Greg.

Hi,
In addition the above suggestions, please also refer to the below threads:

Executing powershell ise(x86) scripts via Task Scheduler

hi
i have powershell script that can only run with powershell ISE(X86)
and i want to add it to Task Scheduler
but my problem is when i try to test the script using "Powershell" or "run" before i add it to the Task Scheduler
using "powershell" i wrote :
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell_ise.exe -file "c:\my path\update.ps1"
and it only open the script in powershell ISE(X86) without Executing the script
how can i Execute the script not open it ??

thanks
I didnt try your solution
but i solved the problem
it was two step first instead of using Set-Culture
I use
$nc = New-Object Globalization.CultureInfo 'ar-kw'
then i add Type Font 'Courier New' to powershell font
in regedit.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont
the character may not be readable in the console because they are from left to right and there are spaces between each character
but when i update my ADUC or send them to out-file they become readable
these are the references for solution
change the CultureInfo :

Executing powershell script via task scheduler

Hello,
I am trying to execute powershell script via windows task scheduler which will forcefully delete all email in a mailbox, but I am getting the below errors
Operational Code - 2
Task Category - Action Completed --- Task Scheduler successfully completed task "\IL98" , instance "{2b193375-cbd2-4986-918d-3cfd4027d6b6}" , action "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" with return code 0.

When I am adding additional cmdlets in the script "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted", I am getting Last Run Result 0X5 rest of the error remains the same.
Powershell version - 3.0
Task Scheduler version - 1.0
If I try to run the script manually via Exchange Powershell the script executes without any errors
Thanks in Advance,
Ankush Shah

I figured out the problem, there wasn't any problem with the script but I had to correct inputs in windows task scheuler
Below is the resolution:
Under Actions:

Add Argument --> -noexit -command ". 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\bin\RemoteExchange.ps1'; Connect-ExchangeServer -auto

Need help in creating script for "Task Schedule" in Oracle E-Bussiness Suit

Hi,
I need some urgent help regarding the scripting of Oracle E-Business Suite application. I am new towards working on Oracle Applications. I have been using LoadRunner 11.0 and protocol oracle applications 11i for the scripting of the application. The problem is as follows:
Scenario- Schedule an incident to a resource.
1) Log in to the application.
2) Open Oracle Forms Page.
3) Enter the details of the incident number.
4) Right click on the incident number and then select “schedule” option.
5) Check / Select the resource listed in the new form.
6) Click on “schedule” Button.
7) Exit the oracle forms.
8) Logout from the application.
I have recorded the scenario but when I try to run the script, it fails after completing the 4th step from the scenario mentioned above. I have done all the required co-relations..
Another issue that I have noticed in the scipt is that it records a lot of requests to the AppsTCFServer.
When I check the Tree View of the script, I have found that there are around 25 requests to the AppsTCFServer recorded in the script. In the header of these requests a TCF Start/Session number gets generated randomly. This number stays the same in few AppsTCFServer request headers and then a new number gets generated and the cycle continues.
However LoadRunner does not generate this number by itself during replay. I cannot find this number in any previous responses.
In the last few days, I have tried my hands on Oracle Openscript tool to record the above scenario, but still I am getting the same problem, i.e instead of getting the correct response from the server for the AppsTCFServer requests, I am getting the message "X-session 7098.... not found - aborting ".
I get this message whether I use LoadRunner tool or the OpenScript tool.
Please help me solve this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya Mukherjee

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Shell scripts maintenance tasks for DBA

Most of companies use shell scripts to monitor DB activities, i just want to make myself familier with the main scripts, and how to manage them. If someone can send me some help material.

Sorry, I should have been more explicit and not only point to the initial page but directly, where the script library is. And I should have made clear it is not a final product, but the base to build your own library.
First link (orasnap) refers to the work made by Stewart McGlaughlin, who created a comprehensive collection of frequently used dba scripts. He compiled those scripts into an utility named orasnap. This you can download it from his yahoo site, if you take enough time to follow the links. Out from this collection of scripts I have personally taken several to tailor them into specific Unix/Dos shell maintenance scripts. I mean the homework is not finished, Out from his work I have taken a good base to build my own most frequently used Shell Maintenance Library.
The second link belongs to Tim Hall (http://www.oracle.com/technology/community/oracle_ace/ace1.html#hall) whose remarkable work has greatly contributed to the Oracle technical community daily job. Once again, this site doesn't have finished shell scripts for you simply to cut and paste, but the dba scripts I pointed plus a little effort and several interesting concepts and tips you can find navigating through his site turn this site into a first hand reference.

Running a SQL Script during task sequence

We are about to roll out new workstations to our entire enterprise. With that rollout comes updated software. The primary application that our end users work with on a daily basis uses SQL Express 2008 R2. A challenge that we've come across
is with a SQL script that we need to run, after the workstation has joined our domain. I have created a batch file, and copied it to the same directory as the AddADGroup.sql script. I have created an application in SCCM to run the batch file and
SQL script. The following is the batch file:
@echo off
Set Path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn
echo.
SQLCMD -S .\SQLEXPRESS -U sausername -P xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -i AddADGroup.sql
echo.
What I need to know is how to get this batch file to run, and be successful (about 4000 times). Is running this batch file the best practice? If not, what is the alternative?
Thanks! Nate

Exchange 2013 mailbox auditing command with showdetails parameter in ps1 script is not working via task scheduler

Hi All ,
In my environment we are having exchange 2013 enterprise edition with SP1 which is installed in windows server 2012 standard edition.
We have enabled mailbox auditing for few mailboxes and also we have made simple powershell script with only the below mentioned commands .when i run the ps1 script in exchange management shell ,i can able to get the relevant output.
CMDLETS in powershell script :
Search-MailboxAuditLog -StartDate ((Get-Date).AddHours(-24)) -EndDate (Get-Date) -showdetails | fl >e:\output.txt
Note : we are having only the above commands in ps1 script , apart from that we don't have anything in it .
Sametime i have scheduled the same powershell script via task scheduler .But i cannot able to get the valid output ,instead of that i was getting a blank output file with no data in it .
Steps handled on my side to run the powershell script in task scheduler:
1.when i remove the parameter showdetails in the ps1 script ,i can able to get the output in the txt file .But in my scenario showdetails is the only parameter which will brought me more and in depth details about mailbox auditing.
The Difference what i have seen between exchange 2010 and exchange 2013
when in run the same powershell script via task scheduler in exchange 2010 enterprise environment installed in windows server 2008 r2 enterprise OS, i can able able to get the proper output without removing the showdetails parameter .
I am using the below methods to run the ps1 file via task scheduler in exchange 2013 environment .
program/script : C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
