Should Compressor run batches in the background?

I've searched for this but can't find any threads of a similar nature...
And it's probably a silly question, but when I export a sequence through compressor from FCP5 and then submit the batch, I expect it to run in the background.
But it locks up FCP so that I can't do anything else until it's done.
Is there any way around this?
What's the point in having a separate program to encode if you can't do anything in FCP anyway?
As I say, probably a silly question, but any help greatly appreciated.
cheers,
Martin

If you want Compressor to run independently from FCP you need to launch Compressor separately and add your jobs manual to Compressor's batch list. When you export from FCP (to Compressor) the reason FCP stays busy is that it (FCP) is doing an analysis of each sequence of frames to assist (supposedly) in making the best possible quality of output. In the latter case, FCP is actually controlling the flow of data/frames to Compressor.

Running program in the background

Hi everybody!
I need to run program in the background.
So I need only to change the sy-batch status to 'X'?

HI,
if your program is runninn in the Background then the System field SY-BATCH will become 'X' otherwise it will have space ......
it will not execute the job in the background if you put SY-BATCH = 'X'
you need to use: Job_open , Job_submit and job_close function modules
example:
*Submit report as job(i.e. in background)
data: jobname like tbtcjob-jobname value
                             ' TRANSFER TRANSLATION'.
data: jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount,
      host like msxxlist-host.
data: begin of starttime.
        include structure tbtcstrt.
data: end of starttime.
data: starttimeimmediate like btch0000-char1.
Job open
call function 'JOB_OPEN'
       exporting
            delanfrep        = ' '
            jobgroup         = ' '

How to run long running report in the background

Oracle Application server 10g
I need to run the long running reports in the background because while the report is running the cursor is loading and the control doesn't return to the user
this feature exist in oracle 6i by set the following parameter
RUN_PRODUCT( REPORTS, 'r_1', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
How can I accomplish the same in OAS 10g?

Hi,
I've done this in 11g. I think it will be the same in 10g as well
Following are the steps in 11g using run_report_object.
1. Read metalink note: Using the Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table and API - RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE [ID 72531.1]
2. Implement RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE table as per above notes.
3. When submitting report run it as background
a. SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lo_report_object, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, ASYNCHRONOUS); -
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(lo_report_object, REPORT_COMM_MODE , BATCH);
4. Display the job_id to user (notification).
5. Create a new form to view reports base on on RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE which provides you the status, etc.... (you may have to create a way to identify the username who submitted the job. This way not all users will see the jobs in RW_SERVER_JOB_QUEUE )
6. Optionally you can use NOTIFYSUCCESS=email to notify user when the report is finished.
Cheers

Run OC4J in the background

Is there anyway I can run OC4J in the background as an NT service?
Thanks in advance.

I took the approach above, and my experience was only partially successful. With some scrounging around newsgroups, orionsupport.com, and Sun's website, I came up with the following solution:
Creating an NT Service for OC4J
OC4J by default runs as a command shell application, so it is bound to a user's login session and will die if the user who called the start command logs off of the system. Oracle has not provided a version of OC4J that runs as a service on Windows-based servers, so here is a process to create a service using the freeware utility, RunExeSvc (http://www.winwinsoft.com/goodies/RunExeSvc/index.html). This utility is more user-friendly and flexible than tools such as srvany.exe and instsrv.exe in the NT Resource Kit.
Dependencies
1. RunExeSvc is installed
(Unzip the runexesvc.zip file to a directory)
2. Sun's JDK 1.3.1 is installed.
(JDK 1.3.1 is required because a bug in prior versions of Sun's JVM for Windows killed any JVMs initiated by a user in that login session.)
Installation Procedure
1. Run the RunExeSvcAdmin.exe application
2. Create a new service by copying the example script below into the Script window of RunExeSvcAdmin.exe. Some changes to drives and/or paths may of course be needed.
3. Save the new entry and exit the application.
4. The service should now appear in the services control panel. Changes may be required for its startup options.
Example Script#########################
# This script runs OC4J
# RunExeSvc variables
# if true, RunExeSvc will show internal status
debug=false
# the starting dir of the service
home=e:\oc4j\j2ee\home
# Running as an http server.
cmdline=e:\jdk1.3.1\bin\javaw.exe -Xrs -jar orion.jar -out e:\oc4j_out.log -err e:\oc4j_err.log
null

How to run form in the background from command line

please can anybody tell me to

Ummm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

Running AppleScript in the background

Okay, yet another problem I'm having that I'm going to bug the community here with.
Is it at all possible to run AppleScript while doing other things? For example, if I wanted my AppleScript to hop online every hour and send me back information from my site could I have it do this while I do other things? Or will I have to wait until it's completed?
Say I wanted to create a script that hopped on my site and sent me the post number of the last post, could I have it do this while I do other things?
Something like
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System events"
tell process "Safari"
(enter code here to get post number and send it to me)
end tell
end tell
I've tried doing it like this and it definitely doesn't work at all if I don't have the Safari window selected at all times, so is there any way in which I can run script in the background while I work on other things or does AppleScript require full control of my computer while it's working?

Save this script just like the others I posted. The script will do exactly as you asked.
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">property helloWorld : "Hello World "
global numChars, charNum, x
on run
tell application "System Events" to set isRunning to exists process "TextEdit"
if not isRunning then tell application "TextEdit" to launch
tell application "TextEdit"
if isRunning then make new document
set name of window 1 to "Hello World"
set numChars to number of characters in helloWorld
set charNum to 0
set x to 0
end tell
end run
on idle
try
tell application "TextEdit"
if x = numChars then
set x to 1
else
set x to x + 1
end if
set charNum to charNum + 1
set theChar to character x of helloWorld
set character charNum of document 1 to theChar
end tell
on error
quit
end try
return 0.1
end idle
on quit
continue quit
end quit</pre>

Run Servlet in the background (Daemon)

Hi all ,
I am using Apache Tomcat/5.0.25 container.
Need some advice regarding running servlet at the background or as daemon . Below is the scope of the program :
The servlet will do a updating in the database in the background every 5 minute.
Any ideas how to implement such behaviour using servlet ?
Thanks.
Wee Tat

hi..
Make a thread and initialize in the init method of ur servlet.
And make another thread so that it wakes up every five minutes and does the database processing..
so ur servlet always has a thread which invokes the other thread(database accesing thread)..
here is the code sample ..
Thread t = new Thread( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Thread dbHandler = new DBHAndler(..);
dbHandler .start();
try {
t.start();
catch(IllegalThreadStateException e) { }
hopefully it works..
regards

How run OC4J in the background

Hello!
How can I run oc4j in the background(without a window open) on a solaris box?
I have tried 'nohup java -jar oc4j.jar &' but the startup seems to hang when I do this.
Any ideas?

Make sure you can write to nohup.out in the current directory.
Also, I typically start my OC4J in /etc/init.d from my solaris machine and that seems to work nicely.
Also try putting the 2>&1 at the end instead of in the middle.
Of you could try using CSH vs. SH, some google hits mention that makes life easier.

Running a batch in the background?

I'm hoping you guys can help as I've asked this on PotN and a PS forum I've used in the past. Anywho, I switched to mac in January and have been loving every minute of it EXCEPT when I batch export from LR using an action in PS (CS4)... When I had a windows machine, I'd hit export from LR, it would pull up the typical box, I'd select my droplet for the list and away it'd go handling everything in the background. You'd see CS pop up on the taskbar, and at most you'd need to minimize it once, but then you could go back to LR and work on the next set of images or go browse online, or anything else.
Now with the mac, when I export from LR2.2 (or 2.3, whichever you need for the 5Dii) and do the same thing, EACH TIME CS4 opens a file it comes to the front. I tend to batch 50~200 shots at a time, and CS4 is running noise ninja on each among other things so this takes a while. Right now no matter that I do it pops up for each image.
Even if I skip LR and just batch them myself using ONLY photoshop, same thing....
anyone know if I've missed a setting in there somewhere that will allow me to batch a bunch of shots then use my computer for other things?
Thanks,
Ben Jacobsen

> anyone know if I've missed a setting in there somewhere that will allow me to batch a bunch of shots then use my computer for other things?
When I run PS scripts from Bridge, PS doesn't appear at all if I first do a
'Hide' (Ctrl-Cmd-H).
This is on CS4.

Unable to Run F110S in the background

Hi All,
I have a situation here..I am trying to schedule RFF110S as a background job creating 2 variants (one for proposal and one for Payment run). When i scheduled this as a background job by making Job 2 dependent on Job 1, the proposal job (Job 1) was successful. But Job 2 Failed and threw a message "Run Identification Already Exists".
Why is this message coming up. I made sure that there are no other Rundate and Identifications similar to the one i sepcified in the variants. How can i make it run through SM36.
Please advise !!!
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
The job to schedule Proposal and payment run in the background is the same Program " RFF110S" but the only difference which makes it either a Proposal or a Payment run is the tick in the second block in Execution in "Proposal Run".
So I guess you have ticked Proposal run so the proposal , ie: 1st job got executed properly, but the second job that you have defined which is dependent on the first job, please check that the Proposal run should not be ticked.. as it is Payment that you want to run this time..
If it is ticked in the second job also then system will obviously show that the run identification already exists..
But if it is not so.. please let us know for further analysis..

Trying to run application in the background

Hello there,
I have written a small app using Apple Script. From the editor I have saved it as application and would like to run it as a background process. That is, I don't want it to show in the list of active applications I can switch to when I press command-tab. It does not matter if it is displayed in the dock or not. What I want to avoid is that every time that I switch to a different application that windowless application is also listed. By the way, I'm launching the application as a start up application and I have selected to hide the application, but it does not help, so I'm not sure if I'm missing anything. Any advise will be appreciated.

01. Save the AppleScript code as an 'Application Bundle', via 'Script Editor's 'File, Save As...' menu items' 'File Format:' popup buttons' 'Application Bundle' menu item.
02. In 'Finder' - '<control>' click (or right click, if using a multiple button mouse) on your just saved 'Application Bundle' application, and select the 'Show Package Contents' menu item. A window containing a folder 'Contents' will appear.
03. Double click on the 'Contents' folder. A Window, titled 'Contents' will appear.
04. Using 'Property List Editor' (installed when installing 'Xcode') open the file 'Info.plist'. A window titled 'Info.plist' will appear.
05. Click on the disclosure triangle (which is pointing to the right) to the left of 'Root'. The disclosure triangle will point down, and the contents of 'Root' displayed.
06. Click on 'Root'; the 'New Sibling' button will be renamed 'New Child' and will become enabled ... or ... Click on any item below 'Root'; the 'New Sibling' will become enabled.
07. Click on the 'New Child' or 'New Sibling' button.
08. Enter 'LSUIElement' (without the single quote marks), and then press either the '<tab>' or '<return>' key. The entry may jump to a new position.
09. Locate the 'LSUIElement' entry row (listing), and under the 'Value' column click twice, enter '1' (without the single quote marks), and finally press the '<return>' key.
You should now see (under 'Property' 'Class' 'Value' respectively) ...
LSUIElement String 1
10. Close the 'Info.plist' window. A drop down sheet will appear. Click on the 'Save' button.
11. Quit 'Property List Editor'.

Can we change the user 'WF-BATCH' for the background task

hi,
I have a dialog step followed by a background task in the workflow.i wanted the user who processed the dialog step should be the one who has completed the workflow instead of the user 'WF-BATCH'.
Is there any possibility? And does it logically sense from a business process point of view.
Please do reply in this regard.
Regards,
Saujanya

Hi
If the update must be in the background then no it is not possible. It is therefore important to weigh up the usability constraints of using a dialog task as opposed to what can be gained in terms of the business process flow and audit concerns.
We must however remember that the object (such as FI doc or PO for example) exists within the concept of all related objects in R3, and this includes the workflow instance, change docs, and associated logs. So the argument of just looking at the individual database record without its associated workflow instance - with its record of who actually did what, and to which object - does not give a true picture of the overall business process.

Running Skype in the background on iPhone 3Gs

I was under the impression that the 3Gs could run more than one application at one time. I am trying to figure out how to start Skype and just leave it running as long as I am online (wifi, of course, I understand that Skype won't work over 3G). I want to be able to answer calls via Skype and not have to leave my iphone on Skype all the time.
Anyone know how to do this?
(I was really, really disappointed to learn that the iPhone/ATT deal doesn't include an app that allows me to automatically switch from 3G calls to WiFi when I get into WiFi range. My Blackberry did this without as much as a thought...totally automatic... Anytime I was near a WiFi network, anyone who called my cell phone number would be connected to me via VOIP. I'm really bummed the iPhone doesn't do this. )

What I'm trying to accomplish is to have an app which will accept VOIP calls open and running at all times so that I don't use cell phone minutes while I'm on WiFi. That was the joy of the Blackberry (also ATT): Whenever I was on Wifi, anyone who phoned my normal cell phone number was automatically routed through Wifi and connected to my blackberry, just like a normal cell voice call...but it was using VOIP and I didn't have to use my cell minutes. I was completely dumfounded to learn that this wasn't standard operating procedure for the iPhone. So I figured, OK, the next best thing would be to have the iPhone have Skype running in the background so folks could at LEAST contact me that way without it using my cell minutes.
So far, not so impressed with way ATT and Apple have this arrangement going. I hope I can find some Apps for the iPhone that impress me perhaps that will help redeam the (pretty lacking) VOIP integration that I've seen so far.
But I totally admit: I'm new at the iphone (Apple user since 84) and I may yet become convinced that this is a decent product.... Week 1 with the 3Gs, pretty disappointing.
