What surprise, this not works on 4nt, this are my problem, i'm
trying to execute this bat files from 4nt, and this macro
substitution technique doesn't work, but it runs ok in cmd.exe, i
think that i knows NT in deep , but ..... it's not true.
The NT online manual don't talks about it, but "set /?" explains
this feature, live to see..... i'm revisting all de "/?" help

Sorry to be so long getting back to this, it has been a really crazy week!
The problem went away! I don't know what was going on the day I was having the problem. I guess my 'path' got hosed, but I thought I had restarted the session and retried. Oh, well, the mysteries of life!

How to use DTRshell.bat

Hi Experts,
I need to use DTRShell.bat. When I try to execute it from command line, i get the following error :
C:\Program Files\SAP\IDE\IDE70\eclipse\tools\dtr\dtrshell.bat"
'setvars.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the path specified.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Yomesh

Yomesh,
Looks like the DTRshell.bat file is calling another bat file that doesn't exist. I suggest opening DTRshell.bat and do a search for setvars.bat. You may just have to change the path to that file inside of the DTRshell.bat script.

Generating Java wrappers for PL/SQL Packages in JDeveloper 3.1

I have not been successful in using JD3.1 to generate java classes for use in calling PL/SQL packages from a Java Servlet I am developing. I have followed the directions under the 'Generating Java Code for Oracle Objects and PL/SQL Packages' help topic: I display the package in the database browser window, right click on the package, select 'Generate Java', and click 'OK' on the pop-up JPublisher window that appears. The wizard clocks out for a few moments, then the JPublisher window disappears, but the java class is not added to JDeveloper's Navigation pane for the Project and Package I specified in the wizard.
Any idea where the generated class is going to?

should be, but isn't... JDeveloper3.1
(build 681) default install... Is it in
a custom package I didn't install? Or
am I just a dumb nut?Hmm.. I thought it was in there.. JPub is a java based tool. You can invoke it as such.
1st, use setvars.bat from your jdeveloper/bin directory.
2nd, run java oracle.jpub.java.Main (pass it the same arguments as you would the jpub.exe)
Here's the output from my machine here:
D:\JDeveloper31\bin>setvars D:\JDeveloper31
Setting JDeveloper 1.2 runtime environment to "D:\JDeveloper31"
Setting JDK version 1.2 in "D:\JDeveloper31\java1.2"

Hello Ritu,
the problem is probably in these lines:

For a NW04s studio these paths are not correct, the plugin directories have some version suffix.

Deploying InfoBus Applet

I am new to java and JDeveloper. I have created a simple InfoBus Java Applet with a connection to an Oracle database. How do I test to see if it works outside the Jdeveloper environment. I went through the steps of packaging my files into a .jar file, deploying this jar file into my deployment directory:jdev\redist, copying the .zip and .jar files referenced in my html file into my deployment directory. What do I do now? Do I need to set a classpath to my deployment directory? How do I execute the application, which is in the jar file, to view in a web browser?

You have made a few mistakes.
You can easily package your applet by creating a deployment profile (Project | Deploy | New Deployment profile...)
Once you include all the appropriate libraries and such, you will have a Jar/Zip file.
The Redist directory has nothing to do with your deployment target - redist simply contains libraries that you can safely distribute with your apps without licencing issues.
Now, to test your applet outside of JDeveloper, you can do several things:
1. You can deploy it to your actual server, etc which you will do eventually.
2. You can test it using the AppletViewer.
To do this, Create a CMD shell. Go to the [JDev]\bin directory. Run SetVars.bat to initialize your environment variables. Then run AppletViewer -classpath...;YOUR-JAR appletName
I hope this helps,

How to use JNI and run javah

When using a DLL I'm supposed to use javah on my class file, for creation of a C headerfile. How's this done in JDeveloper?

JDeveloper doesn't include a wizard for this. You can run setvars.bat from the JDeveloper\Bin directory from a command prompt and that will set up your path and CLASSPATH for using the command line tools.
You can then run the javah command directly to generate the header files to use when creating your C/C++ JNI code.
Take Care,
Rob

Problem deploying JDeveloper files

Hi, I'm new to jdeveloper, and i'm having some problem deploying the applets that the wizard makes, i deployed the files into a zip and when i unziped them, the html file that was in the zip keeps comming up with can't find package.test.class (package is the name of my package and test is teh name of my applet), can anyone help me? thank you.
Will

John - JDeveloper Team:
I am not sure what you are doing exactly, but
The HTML file references the class file
that must be found on the CLASSPATH.
You may want to experiment with AppletViewer
until you figure it out. Remember your
CLASSPATH must point to a directory whose
SUB-DIrectory is named package
I am assuming your file is named Test.java
and the output will be Test.class!You may also want to use a batch file included
in the [JDeveloper]\bin directory called
SetVars.bat which sets up such information
for you when you are in a CMD shell.

Database PartnerLink problems

Hello,
I've got a simple procedure that returns a record set of names:
create or replace PACKAGE "ICC_TEST" AS
TYPE names is TABLE of VARCHAR(100) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
PROCEDURE PROCEDURE_RECORD_SET
(first_name OUT names,
last_name OUT names);
END;
I wanted to create a parner link in Oracle BPEL designer using a database adapter and selecting a stored procedure as a source and this is what I got:
"Error while writing WSDL file blah.wsdl. Exception: WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: The wrapper procedure, ICC_TEST$PROCEDURE_RECORD_SET, could not be found in the package blah1, for the schema blah2."
As far as I understand JDeveloper would try to create a new wrapper procedure together with the package.
Thank you.

I saw similar message WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR etc
, I suggest checking that jpublisher package sqljutl is working correctly.
To do this
1. Go to jpub.exe location on the command line.
cd <BPEL_HOME>\integration\jdev\bin>
2. Set up the environment variables etc
<BPEL_HOME>\integration\jdev\bin>..\jdev\bin\setvars.bat -go
3. Have you package and such ready to go, in this case I had a package of BERT
returning a type record and copied the rest from the jpublisher manual, using oracle xe
database here
jpub.exe -u hr/hr -url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE -s BERT:Bert -plsqlp
ackage=WRAPPER1 -plsqlfile=wrapper1.sql,drop
Using Oracle XE complicates things a little but getting it use to jpublisher was how I
resolved the WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR generation problem. Which
was to do with the sqljutl package not setup correctly (or in XE at all)
4. If you run and see an error something like
ORA-00904: "SYS"."SQLJUTL"."HAS_DEFAULT": invalid identifier
and no files generated then may have the same type of problem
5. Then following this post
http://susanduncan.blogspot.com/2006/05/creating-plsql-web-service-from-ora
cle.html
I got Jpub in Oracle XE by running
C:\OraBPELPM_2\integration\jdev\sqlj\lib\sqljutl.sql
This creates a package in the sys schema and then grants execute privelge
on it.
So is this package and privileges setup correctly in your case ?
6. Running the jpub command again generated for me a bunch of files etc so
then tried through the dbadapter and worked for my very simple record.
good luck

Please help. Deployment of application locally with BC4J in JDeveloper 3.2.

Dear all friends,
I am a beginner of JDeveloper. Yesterday, I asked a question involving deployment of application in this forum. However, there are no any replies to me. I am feeling a bit dispointed. Now, I would like to introduce the process I did this deployment. I wish to get any suggestions.
1. At first, I developed an project of business component in my NT computer, which is one-table component. I tested it successfully. My database (Oracle 8) is located at a Solaris server.
2. I deployed this project locally by simply archieve file. I also included all libraries (Jdeveloper runtime, JDBC, JBO runtime etc) in it.
3. I created an new project for my client interface (GUI form) by using dataform wizard. I complied and execute it. Everything is fine.
4. Before deploying, I created a library that points at the simply Jar file of my BC file in step2. And added it to the client project properties.
5. In deployment of client project, I used "web and comand line application" option. And also included all the default library (they are JBO runtime, Jdeveloper runtime, JDBC etc and the library I created in step 4). I indicated the main class.
However, when I double click this client Jar file. Nothing happened. In my imagination, it should be executed as in development process. I also think all necessary libraries and resource have been packaged into this executable jar file, which is stand alone and can be deployed to other platform. But I failed.
I need help from you. Is my action and understanding correct?
Thank you very much for help

However, when I double click this client Jar file. Nothing happened. In my imagination, it should be executed as in development process. I also think all necessary libraries and resource have been packaged into this executable jar file, which is stand alone and can be deployed to other platform. Not all the dependent jar files are packaged into a single jar. I would recommend you create a batch file, set the classpath and the launch your app. To help set the classpath you can use setvars.bat script in the bin directory. You will have to add your middle tier jar file and the client tier jar and execute java
call j:\bin\setvars.bat -tools=bc4j_local;
rem dependent jars
set classptath=%classpath%;mt.jar;ct.jar

I notice from the forum that there is mention of editing an 'ini' file - but there doesn't seem to be one.
There is a 'setvars.bat' file but that appears to be windows stuff!

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
jdevd was an old script that starts up JDev on UNIX in debugging mode. It shouldn't have been in the beta and has subsequently been removed.
The correct script to start the tool is jdev.

Run application from console

Referring to Steve Muench's example of Using ADF Data Binding from a Simple Console Program here http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2005/05/25.html#a558.
Can anyone tell me how to actually run it? I want to run it outside of Jdeveloper - do I need to run the setvars.bat script? If so what arguments do I need to pass to it?
- Nathaniel

Nathaniel,
stand alone java programs typically are executed by
java -classname
or if they are in a package that has a default run target
java -jar packagename
Did you look at Steve's example?

His sample client should have a main method that makes it runnable.

Acrobat XI Pro Crashes when Bates Stamping and/or Sanitizing

Hi and help! I'm running Windows 7. I'm trying to bates stamp pdf files (converted PSTs via Acrobat). The program gets as far as allowing me to pick the formatting, but freezes at the "replacing fonts" satege. (Not certain why it has to do that either). Was working fine on larger files (10,000 KB) until yesterday. I've broken them into smaller one, unchecked security preferences, but still nothing. Taking longer to trouble shoot than it did to review the darn 10,000 pages! Any idea would be MOST appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Erick5,

Capturing log files from multiple .ps1 scripts called from within a .bat file

I am trying to invoke multiple instances of a powershell script and capture individual log files from each of them. I can start the multiple instances by calling 'start powershell' several times, but am unable to capture logging. If I use 'call powershell'
I can capture the log files, but the batch file won't continue until that current 'call powershell' has completed.
ie. within Test.bat
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > a.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > b.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > c.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > d.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > e.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
start powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > f.log 2>&1
the log files get created but are empty. If I invoke 'call' instead of start I get the log data, but I need them to run in parallel, not sequentially.
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > a.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > b.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > c.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60
call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > d.log 2>&1
timeout /t 60call powershell . \Automation.ps1 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 > e.log 2>&1
Any suggestions of how to get this to work?

Batch files are sequential by design (batch up a bunch of statements and execute them). Call doesn't run in a different process, so when you use it the batch file waits for it to exit. From CALL:
Calls one batch program from another without stopping the parent batch program
I was hoping for the documentation to say the batch file waits for CALL to return, but this is as close as it gets.
Start(.exe), "Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command". The reason it runs in parallel is once it starts the target application start.exe ends and the batch file continues. It has no idea about the powershell.exe process
that you kicked off. Because of this reason, you can't pipe the output.
Update: I was wrong, you can totally redirect the output of what you run with start.exe.
How about instead of running a batch file you run a PowerShell script? You can run script blocks or call individual scripts in parallel with the
Start-Job cmdlet.
You can monitor the jobs and when they complete, pipe them to
Receive-Job to see their output.
For example:
$sb = {
Write-Output "Hello"
Sleep -seconds 10
Write-Output "Goodbye"
Start-Job -Scriptblock $sb
Start-Job -Scriptblock $sb
Here's a script that runs the scriptblock $sb. The script block outputs the text "Hello", waits for 10 seconds, and then outputs the text "Goodbye"
Then it starts two jobs (in this case I'm running the same script block)
When you run this you receive this for output:
PS> $sb = {
>> Write-Output "Hello"
>> Sleep -Seconds 10
>> Write-Output "Goodbye"

When you run Start-Job it will execute your script or scriptblock in a new process and continue to the next line in the script.
You can see the jobs with
Get-Job:
PS> Get-Job
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 Running True localhost ...
3 Job3 Running True localhost ...
OK, that's great. But we need to know when the job's done. The Job's Status property will tell us this (we're looking for a status of "Completed"), we can build a loop and check:
$Completed = $false
while (!$Completed) {
# get all the jobs that haven't yet completed
$jobs = Get-Job | where {$_.State.ToString() -ne "Completed"} # if Get-Job doesn't return any jobs (i.e. they are all completed)
if ($jobs -eq $null) {
$Completed=$true
} # otherwise update the screen
else {
Write-Output "Waiting for $($jobs.Count) jobs"
sleep -s 1
This will output something like this:
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
Waiting for 2 jobs
When it's done, we can see the jobs have completed:
PS> Get-Job
Id Name State HasMoreData Location Command
1 Job1 Completed True localhost ...
3 Job3 Completed True localhost ...
PS>
Now at this point we could pipe the jobs to Receive-Job:
PS> Get-Job | Receive-Job
Hello
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
PS>
But as you can see it's not obvious which script is which. In your real scripts you could include some identifiers to distinguish them.
Another way would be to grab the output of each job one at a time:
foreach ($job in $jobs) {
$job | Receive-Job
If you store the output in a variable or save to a log file with Out-File. The trick is matching up the jobs to the output. Something like this may work:
$a_sb = {
Write-Output "Hello A"
Sleep -Seconds 10
Write-Output "Goodbye A"
$b_sb = {
Write-Output "Hello B"
Sleep -Seconds 5
Write-Output "Goodbye B"
$job = Start-Job -Scriptblock $a_sb
$a_log = $job.Name
$job = Start-Job -Scriptblock $b_sb
$b_log = $job.Name
$Completed = $false
while (!$Completed) {
$jobs = Get-Job | where {$_.State.ToString() -ne "Completed"}
if ($jobs -eq $null) {
$Completed=$true
else {
Write-Output "Waiting for $($jobs.Count) jobs"
sleep -s 1
Get-Job | where {$_.Name -eq $a_log} | Receive-Job | Out-File .\a.log
Get-Job | where {$_.Name -eq $b_log} | Receive-Job | Out-File .\b.log
If you check out the folder you'll see the log files, and they contain the script contents:
PS> dir *.log
Directory: C:\Users\jwarren
Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
-a--- 1/15/2014 7:53 PM 42 a.log
-a--- 1/15/2014 7:53 PM 42 b.log
PS> Get-Content .\a.log
Hello A
Goodbye A
PS> Get-Content .\b.log
Hello B
Goodbye B
PS>
The trouble though is you won't get a log file until the job has completed. If you use your log files to monitor progress this may not be suitable.
