Specifying what thread to execute

Hi There,
I am learning about the new concurrent package in 1.5 and I think its great.
There are times though where I would like to specify the thread that is to be used to execute a particular task. For example, it would be great if I could do the following:
ExecutorService threadExecutor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(4);
threadExecutor.execute(task1, 0); // always use "Thread0" to execute this
threadExecutor.execute(task2, 1); // always use "Thread1" to execute this
threadExecutor.execute(task3, 2); // always use "Thread2" to execute this
threadExecutor.execute(task4, 3); // always use "Thread3" to execute thisThe example above is simplistic to illustrate the wished for API call. I do need this functionality over the course of a run of the application I am currently working on. Do I need to forget about the high level API and go low level on this one?
thanks a lot,
- Paul.

The ThreadExecutor uses a single queue so there's no way to distiguish threads in the pool. The thread you wanted could be busy.
You could simply use a separate Executor with one thread for each.

Lsmw error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.

Hi All,
while trying to create mass users through LSMW, i am gettign the error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.
I have specified file (.txt), manually created (with'1 tab space' between each term). i have used option 'On the PC(Frontend)'. No error while saving.
Next- i have executed 'Assign Files', where the file appeared automatically.
Next- Here, when i try to execute 'Read Data', i get the error 'Specify Files first'.
Can anyone help in resolving this error.

Hello Plaban,
What is your purpose? Are you tring to upload the data with more file variant?
There are two possibilities to make file names more variable:
1.If you choose system dependent file names by setting the according flag (in the first step 'Maintain object attributes'), you can define file names for each system in step 'Specify files' by assigning the files to a specific system ID (with a double-click on the specified file).
2.You can use wildcards in the file names where you can assign several values.
I hope this helps you.

ThreadPoolExecutor and using priority to determine what threads will run

Hello,
I am fairly new to Java, so I apologize if there is an obvious answer.
The ThreadPoolExecutor is a great class for thread management. What I would like to do is have a priority scheme that would determine what thread should be run next. For example, let's say I have 100 threads and a limit of 20 threads. Each thread that is executed should have a mechanism to indicate a priority. When a thread becomes available in the pool, the priority value should be checked to determine which thread to run. This would allow me to get important tasks completed quickly. Right now it appears that there is a FIFO order to threads. I tried wrapping the runnable object in a Thread, but that didn't seem to have an effect.
I am using a Fixed thread Pool:
      loThreadPoolExecutor = (ThreadPoolExecutor) Executors.newFixedThreadPool(MAXTHREADS); (MAXTHREADS=20)I have tried creating a PriorityBlockingQueue with a comparator that compares the thread priority, but nothing seems to work.
public Constructor() {
loThreadPoolExecutor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(MAXTHREADS,MAXTHREADS*2,0,TimeUnit.SECONDS,new PriorityBlockingQueue(11,new PrvComparator()));
    private class PrvComparator implements Comparator {
          public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) {
               // TODO Auto-generated method stub
               Thread t1 = (Thread) o1;
               Thread t2 = (Thread) o2;
               System.out.println("P1="+t1.getPriority()+ " P2="+t2.getPriority());
               if (t1.getPriority()<t2.getPriority()) return -1;
               if (t1.getPriority()>t2.getPriority()) return 1;
               else return 0;
               //PriorityBlockingQueue
          }I would appreciate any help.

What are you trying to prioritize? The order on which tasks come off the work queue, or the order in which they get completed?
Doing the first is simple but restricted. Your tasks are Comparable and define their own priority and you use a PriorityBlockingQueue. But you are restricted to using the execute() method with Runnable's that are Comparable. submit() will wrap the task in a FutureTask that isn't Comparable and so will cause a ClassCastException.
Doing the second is difficult. Even if your threads have different priorities then don't queue for tasks in priority order, so the thread priority when taking a task is irrelevant. You could change the thread priority based on the priority of the task once it starts executing. But Thread priorities are only a hint to the scheduler that you think Thread A is more important than Thread B. On some platforms priorities will have little observable effects - whereas on other it can be drastic if you use priorities that are too high or too low. The mapping from Java priority to OS thread priority is platform specific. See for example http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/vm/thread-priorities.html

What is "with execute as caller" in SP?

What is "with execute as caller" in SP?
What is the purpose of this command?
Thanks in advance.

Here is the explanation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188354.aspx
CALLER
Specifies the statements inside the module are executed in the context of the caller of the module. The user executing the module must have appropriate permissions not only on the module itself, but also on any database objects that are referenced by the module.
CALLER is the default for all modules except queues, and is the same as SQL Server 2005 behavior.
CALLER cannot be specified in a CREATE QUEUE or ALTER QUEUE statement.

Your HD may be crashed, so you probably should use the oringinal install discs to run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. If error codes appear this confirms a hardware failure. In addition you cannnot repair the HD using Disk Utility from the startup disk, you have to use the origninal Install discs that shipped with the computer or the most up-to-date version of OS X on a disc that you have.

To differentiate in the user-exits what transaction has executed first

Hi,
I have a problem,
For transactions Iw32 y iw34 EXIT_SAPLCOIH_006 user-exit are called up when a maintenance order is updated
from any of two transactions.
I want to differentiate in the user-exits what transaction has executed first (origin) because sy-tcode in both cases contains iw32 ' because IW38 transaction calls UP always to the transaction iw32 for update of a maintenance order.
thank´s
Regards.

If that is the case, and the IW32 is begin called from IW38 via some batch input mechanism, then maybe this code will work. You can wrap your code in this IF statement. Here we are saying that we only want to do this when the tcode is IW32 and it is not being called in batch input(call transaction) or called by another program.
if sy-tcode = 'IW32'
and sy-binpt = space
and sy-calld = space.
endif.
Regard,

When printing not all specified pages print or when specifying what pages to print all pages print

I am using the deskjet 3050A printer along with windows 7. When printing if I specify specific pages to print for example page 1,3,5 it will only print page 1 and 3. Sometimes when specifying what pages to print it will continue to print all pages. I'm not sure if it is an error with the wireless communincation.

HI littlek5,
What program or application are you printing from ?
Does it do the same thing if you print from another application ?

HT4489 Is there a way to limit (specify) what is shared when you share a contact?

I noticed when I share a contact that most information in the contact is shared. This is not what I want. I would only like to share the basic information like telephone numbers and addresses. I do not want to share my notes and additional information that I have accumulated. Is there a way to limit or specify exactly what you want to share?

This isn't a way to limit what is shared, except to create a new contact to share that excludes this information.

Using DRS to specify Java version when executing JNLP file.

We have an application that executes from a JNLP file that we are told is version sensitive. We have a rule set created for a number of apps that work just fine to meet this goal. However, when creating a rule to execute this JNLP application we are having issues getting it to work. To simplify the process we created a certificate hash rule for this application and when reviewing console\trace we can see it correctly identifying and executing under the Java 6U29 environment. The issue is that even though 6u29 is being invoked it does not work (merely displays a "application error" message). However, if I instead launch the JNLP file using the Javaws.exe in the 1.6.0_29 folder the app loads fine. When comparing behavior with the rule set environment and a 6u29 only environment I saw some peculiar entries.

So it appears that the 6u29 version of Javaws.exe is getting called however some of the configured paths are being set to the 8u25 path. Not sure if its a cause but does seem to be relevant since on the exact same system if I run the JNLP specifically with the 6u29 exe it works as expected. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Several JREs can be specified, which indicates a prioritized list of the supported JREs, with the most preferred version first. For example,

    <java version="1.2">

    <java version="1.6+" />Actually you'd need the list of 1.5 versions reversed. Well, you get the idea hopefully. For more on versioning, see my [JWS versioning page|http://pscode.org/jws/version.html].

TIme taken by Child threads to execute

Hi
I have a small query related to multithreading. I have a main thread launching a few Child threads. Now I want to check how much time all the 10000 child threads are taking to execute. I cannot write a System.currentTimeMillis(); before a main thread exits because I want the Child threads to keep executing even after the Main thread exits because I do not know how much time the child threads will take. I have made the child threads as non-deamon
class ChildThread implements Runnable {
     Thread t;
     int i;
     ChildThread(int i) {
          t = new Thread(this, "SMS Thread");
          this.i = i;
          t.setDaemon(false);
          t.start();
     public void run() {
          try {
               System.out.println(i);
          } catch (Exception smsex) {
               System.out.println("Exception occured while sending message :"
                         + smsex.getMessage());
               smsex.printStackTrace();
public class MainThread {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
          ChildThread thread = null;
          try {
               for (int i = 10000; i > 0; i--) {
                    thread = new ChildThread(i); // create a new thread
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Main thread interrupted.");
          long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
          System.out.println("Main thread exiting. Took " + (end - start)
                    + " ms.");
}

This is a sample i have assumed.. dont have the complete code.
I will just explain this
Create an executor service object in a class called ThreadDispatcher.
And create your chileThread as given below
class ChildThread implements Runnable {
     ChildThread() {
     public void run() {
          try {
               System.out.println(i);
          } catch (Exception smsex) {
               System.out.println("Exception occured while sending message :"
                         + smsex.getMessage());
               smsex.printStackTrace();
}And the ThreadDispatcher class as below -This is just to beautify the code :)
public class ThreadUtil {
private static ExecutorService exec = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(some_value);
public static List<Future> executionResults = new ArrayList<Future>();
}And finaly come to the main Thread class
public class MainThread {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          ChildThread thread = null;
          try {
                         long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
               for (int i = 10000; i > 0; i--) {
                    thread = new ChildThread(i); // create a new thread
                                ThreadDispatcher.executionResults.add(ThreadDispatcher.exec.submit(thread));
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Main thread interrupted.");
                //Here place the while loop to check each thread status
                 while (ThreadDispatcher.executionResults.size() > 0) {
               try {
                    Future task = ThreadDispatcher.executionResults.get(0);
                    task.get();//Wait until the thread finishes execution
                                ThreadDispatcher.executionResults.remove(task);
               } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
               } catch (ExecutionException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
          long end = System.currentTimeMillis(); //This time will probably be the end time.
          System.out.println("Main thread exiting. Took " + (end - start)
                    + " ms.");
}Hope this will be helpful...
