Snapshot status from within a VM

Looking for a way to check if there are any snapshots currently on VM I am running in. ESXi 5.5, Guest OS is RHEL6. I can look at things like cpu and memory limits and reservations, plus host swap and balloon driver status all from toolbox command, but want a way to display other status related to the VM that could impact the VMs performance...snapshots being one of those..
so I can run a status script that will spit all this out to a support engineer... I know I can do it via powercli in a windows VM cant figure a way to do it from a Linux VM.. Any ideas?

What is the command that you use in powerCLI? get-vm | get-snapshot ?

Trying to use grep from within java,using exec command!

Hi all!
I would like to run a grep function on some status file, and get a particular line from it, and then pipe this line to another file.
Then perfom a grep on the new file to check how many of the lines above are present in that file, and then write this value to a new file.
The final file with a numerical value in it, i will read from within java,as one reads normal files!
I can run simple commands using exec, but am kinda stuck with regards to the above!
Maybe i should just do all the above from a script file and then run the script file from exec. However, i dont want to do that, because it kinda makes the system dependent,..what if i move to a new machine, and forget to install the script, then my program wont work!
Any advise?
Thanks
Regards

With a little creativity, you can actually do all that from the command line with a single command. It'll look a little crazy, but it can be done.
Whether the script exists on the local machine or not has zero to do with platform indpendence. You assumedly have to get the application onto the local machine, so including the script is not really an issue at all. However, you're talking about system independence, yet still wishing to run command line arguments? The two are mutually exclusive.

WPF UI running in seperate runspace - able to set/get controls via synchronized hash table, but referencing the control via the hash table from within an event handler causes both runspaces to hang.

I am trying to build a proof of concept where a WPF form is hosted in a seperate runspace and updates are handled from the primary shell/runspace. I have had some success thanks to a great article by Boe Prox, but I am having an issue I wanted to open up
to see if anyone had a suggestion.
My goals are as follows:
1.) Set control properties from the primary runspace (Completed)
2.) Get control properties from the primary runspace (Completed)
3.) Respond to WPF form events in the UI runspace from the primary runspace (Kind of broken).
I have the ability to read/write values to the form, but I am having difficulty with events. Specifically, I can fire and handle events, but the minute I try to reference the $SyncHash from within the event it appears to cause a blocking condition hanging both
runspaces. As a result, I am unable to update the form based on an event being fired by a control.
In the example below, the form is loaded and the following steps occur:
1.) Update-Combobox is called and it populates the combobox with a list of service names and selects the first item.
2.) update-textbox is called and sets the Text property of the textbox.
3.) The Text value of the textbox is read by the function read-textbox and output using write-host.
4.) An event handle is registered for the SelectionChanged event for the combobox to call the update-textbox function used earlier.
5.) If you change the selection on the combobox, the shell and UI hangs as soon as $SyncHash is referenced. I suspect this is causing some sort of blocking condition from multiple threads trying to access the synchronized nature of the hash table, but I am
unsure as to why / how to work around it. If you comment out the line "$SyncHash.TXT_Output.Dispatcher.Invoke("Send",[action]{$SyncHash.TXT_Output.Text = $Value})" within update-textbox the event handler will execute/complete.

Thanks again for the responses. This may not be possible, but I thought I would throw it out there. I appreciate your help in looking into this.
To clarify the "Respond to control events in the main runspace"... I'm would like to have an event generated by a form object in the UI runspace (ex: combo box selectionchanged event) trigger a delegate within the main runspace and have that delegate in
the main runspace update the form in the UI runspace.
ex:
1.) User changes selection on combo box generating form event
2.) Event calls delegate (which I have gotten to work)
3.) Delegate does some basic processing (works)
4.) Delegate attempts to update form in UI runspace (hangs)
As to the delegates / which runspace they are running in. I see the $synchash variable if I run get-var within a delegate, but I do not see the $Form variable so I am assuming that they are in the main runspace. Do you agree with that assumption?

Encountering transaction statement from within a PL/SQL block

Hi All,
i would like to know what will be the transaction status if we use an commit or a rollback statement inside a PL/SQL procedure called from within an PL/SQL package.
For example
BEGIN
select statement
insert statement 1
.... call to <xyz> procedure
end;
xyz procedure
insert statement 2
commit/rollback
end of procedure
will the insert statement 1 be commited/rollbacked when the session encounters the transaction statement inside the procedure.

Welcome to the forum!
Unless the procedure xyz is an autonomous transaction, then yes Insert statement 1 will be committed.

RetrieveJXM metrics from within the cluster?

I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve the metrics the JMX adapter exposes from within the cluster e.g. by running a thread on the invocation service that would query the underlying data structures to get the metrics out.

You could still snapshot the stats if you wanted to but you would have to do it using queries into the local JMS server running in the JVM rather than using Coherence API calls.
Or, depending on what you want to do with the stats, you could look at the JMX reporter that will log stats to a file every so often or you could look at one of the third-party monitoring tolls that will do this.

Mail Merge From Within Professional 8

Hi,
Is there any function in Professional 8 similar to Word's Mail Merge? I work for a company that has a need to "stamp" unique copy numbers on certain documents. Here's what we presently do:
We have a Word file of a testing procedure (we have a number of different testing procedures), and we receive a request for x number of controlled copies so that the analysts in the labs can conduct testing. An example of the number for the first controlled copy for this year would be: TD125-09-0001 (TD=Testing Document, 125=the main document number (which never changes, we have about 130 of these documents), 09=the year, and 0001=unique controlled copy number. So we would issue TD125-09-0001, TD125-09-0002, TD125-09-0003, TD125-09-0004 and so on depending on a given request.
Now the problem: We are going to be switching to an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) in which the documents, when printed from within the EDMS system will print with the EDMS Headers and Footers, and therefore cannot be brought outside of the system.
My workaround was to print out the Testing Document from within EDMS, therefore it will print with all the appropriate Headers and Footers that the system generates upon printing...then scan the document as a PDF to use as a template, and apply the controlled copy numbers to the PDF version. The only problem is that Acrobat doesn't seem to have functionality similar to Word's Mail Merge....the beauty of which is you choose which "recipients" you would like to merge, and regardless of the length of the document, it will imprint the same number on every page, print another copy with the next sequential number, etc. I've looked around in the Professional 8 application and the closest I've come is forms, but then you have no functionality to generate sequential copy numbers except to do each one manually.
Does anyone know of a plug-in or scripting that will mimic the functionality of Mail Merge but from within Adobe?
Much Appreciation In Advance!,
Paul

Hi Rick
To explain in brief, the main master table (OCRD) is replicated in fields in the audit trail table (ACRD). A few additional fields are available in the ACRD such as Instance which is a numeric incremental number for each update to a master. Instance 1 is of course the Add action when it is created. Therefore you can pull the information of the BP straight from the ACRD table without having to join and using the MAX number of Instance to get the latest "snapshot" of the master. Then there are fields such as update date and time which can be used to determine if any records have been updated in say the last 5 minutes for example.
Another suggestion would be to add an activity to the BP rather for each letter that must be created, as this will give you history of each letter that was sent. What can work quite nicely will be to change the layout of the activity to be some letter format and then possibly save this to PDF or print to a Document generator printer as a TIFF file and then attach these back to the activity. From the activity you could also fax, email or print the letter.
The above scenarios are just a suggestion, and I guess a way of trying to impress on you that SAP Business One is still a good choice, despite a few shortcomings. The important thing to remember with SAP Business One is it's flexibility in terms of User Defined Fields, Formatted Searches, SDK, UDO's, DI API, etc. which can in many cases overcome functional gaps. The best advise is to consider how big the gap is and what it will cost to fill it in terms of project time line and cost.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

Copy application from within an application?

Ok, this may be a bit of a stretch, but is it possible to create a new application as a copy of an existing one from within an application?
To explain: I'm envisioning an APEX framework where I have a "core" application which has all of my standard functionality built in; whenever I want to build a new application, I copy that, rather than building a new one from scratch. Information about the applications (active status, authentication method, created by, last modified by, description, etc.) would be stored in a central (custom) table (this much has been covered by Scott Spendolini in this presentation).
So, I'd like to build an application which would show me the data from this central table, and also have a wizard that would a) copy the core application to a new ID, potentially setting some features in the process, and b) create the appropriate record in the central table.
Thanks,
-David

David,
I am having the same thoughts and will watch this thread. I believe what you are referring to is "subscribing to a master application" of which I have no experience in.
Just saw another thread similar to this one:

When charging, the battery status from 95% suddenly jumps to 100%

Hi Guys!
I just bought my Xperia Z1 last month, i haven't full charge to 100% my battery since the the first 8H charging the time i bought. I always charge when the status 20% and below, but never flat. Now I noticed that the battery status from 95% suddenly jump on to 100% within a matter of seconds.
Please help.... don't know the cause, is my battery already damaged or spoiled?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well with any battery you need to cycle it completely once ina while. Charging it from 20% back to 100% is actually detrimental if you do it on a regular basis.
Sometimes let your phone dicharge completely then charge it completely to 100%.
The issue you are facing however could also be due to the battery capacity being detected wrongly.
Try going to *#*#7378423#*#* on your dialer and go to diagnostics and check battery health.. if it reads over 300000 then you are fine... Its not your battery.
Don't forget to give Kudos and / or mark the correct answer.

Deploying ear from within JDeveloper9.0.2 to ias9.0.2

Hi,
Is there a way to deploy an enterprise archive from within JDeveloper9.0.2 to an Oracle ias9.0.2 instance. If I try to deploy my application I get the following message:
Security error: This operation was denied. The admin.jar utility can not be used to perform operations against OPMN managed OC4J instnaces. Please use Enterprise Manager or dcmctl instead. Refer to the Oracle9iAS Admin Guide or the OC4J User's Guide for more details.
Exit status of Oracle9iAS admin tool (-deploy): 1
I'm guessing that with the new ias version I can only deploy by using oem or dcmctl, but wouldn't it be convenient if we still could use JDev?
Thx,
-J.
BTW. What are 'instnaces' ;-)

You are correct ... you must use dcmctl or OEM - see:
Re: Conditional execution in pl/sql
But JDev 9.0.3 will have the ability to invoke the DCM deployment utility within its application server connections.
As for "instances" - it is a term meant to describe multiple instances of OC4J within Oracle9iAS. In fact, you can multiple application server instances with multiple OC4J instances in each. This clustering architecture is what necessitated the need for dcmctl. For a quick architecture overview with a nice diagram check out:

Get User LockedOut Status from java code

Hi,
Our java application is using default security via weblogic 10.3 security realm. If the user enters wrong password more than 5 times in say 5 min interval, then the user is locked out for the next 30 minutes by weblogic. All the parameters are configurable & enabled in security realm from weblogic admin console.
My question is how can we get user 'isLockedOut' status from my java application so that I can display to the user that the reason you have not been able to login to the application is that the user has been locked out not because your current password is wrong.
I am looking from something like in here
http://weblogicserver.blogspot.com/2010/04/user-lockout-wlst.html
But I don't know how to get the handle to 'ServerSecurityRuntime()' from my java code.
Please advise.
Cheers,
tamu

Thanks Ravish & Faisal. Both the replies are useful but I had come across this before. I haven't tried them as I have reservation about 2 things for it to be used in production application.
(1) User credential to logon to admininstration console. It varies from environment to environment & it can change as well. If we have different files to store the passwords for different environments, it will be visible to everyone that have access to the file. It will have security implications.
(2) The passwords for the environments will keep on changing & if it is incorporated in code, it would require another deployment.
I am kind of thinking of not using weblogic lockout feature & incorporating within our application & store the values in our app database. This will however require more work. I was hoping I would have been able to catch some sort of exception from weblogic when user account is locked, so that I can display message to the client that the user is locked.

How can I execute an external program from within a button's event handler?

I am using Tomcat ApacheTomcat 6.0.16 with Netbeans 6.1 (with the latest JDK/J2EE)
I need to execute external programs from an event handler for a button on a JSF page (the program is compiled, and extremely fast compared both to plain java and especially stored procedures written in SQL).
I tried what I'd do in a standalone program (as shown in the appended code), but it didn't work. Instead I received text saying the program couldn't be found. This error message comes even if I try the Windows command "dir". I thought with 'dir' I'd at least get the contents of the current working directory. :-(
I can probably get by with cgi on Apache's httpd server (or, I understand tomcat supports cgi, but I have yet to get that to work either), but whatever I do I need to be able to do it from within the button's event handler. And if I resort to cgi, I must be able to maintain session jumping from one server to the other and back.
So, then, how can I do this?
Thanks
Ted
NB: The programs that I need to run do NOT take input from the user. Rather, my code in the web application processes user selections from selection controls, and a couple field controls, sanitizes the inoputs and places clean, safe data in a MySQL database, and then the external program I need to run gets safe data from the database, does some heavy duty number crunching, and puts the output data into the database. They are well insulated from mischeif.
NB: In the following array_function_test.pl was placed in the same folder as the web application's jsp pages, (and I'd tried WEB-INF - with the same result), and I DID see the file in the application's war file.
        try {
            java.lang.ProcessBuilder pn = new java.lang.ProcessBuilder("array_function_test.pl");
            //pn.directory(new java.io.File("K:\\work"));
            java.lang.Process pr = pn.start();
            java.io.BufferedInputStream bis = (java.io.BufferedInputStream)pr.getInputStream();
            String tmp = new String("");
            byte b[] = new byte[1000];
            int i = 0;
            while (i != -1) {
                bis.read(b);
                tmp += new String(b);
            getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().setText(getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().getText() + "\n\n" + tmp);
        } catch (java.io.IOException ex) {
            getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().setText(getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().getText() + "\n\n" + ex.getMessage());
        }

Hi Fonsi!
One way to execute an external program is to use the System Exec.vi. You find it in the functions pallet under Communication.

Email from within iPhoto '08 (7.1.1) quit working

I am running Leopard (10.5.1) and iPhoto '08 (7.1.1) on a 2.4ghz 17" MBP. Whenever I try to email a photo from within iPhoto it pops up a window to let me choose size & options, I hit the Compose button, it will then popup a window saying that it is Preparing photos for email... then that window just goes away and it never creates the new email. I see this same behavior regardless of whether or not Mail is already open and regardless of what photo I am trying to email. This was working fine in the past... believe that it quit working after the upgrade to 10.5.1 (but not absolutely positive of that)... Any troubleshooting ideas would be greatly appreciated as I use this feature quite often.
Cheers!
Kirk

Kirk:
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Next, if needed, download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
