Starting CS4 from bat file

I can successfully start Photoshop from a .bat file (.bat file has the line "START Photoshop") when I'm logged onto my Vista user account. But when I switch to the guest account and the bat file continues to run in my normal user session, it is unable to launch Photoshop. A Microsoft Windows error box reports: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working". I'm able to start Bridge or notepad with this method, that is, with the bat file running in my normal account while logged in to the guest account. Seems you have to be logged on directly for PS to launch. Any experience with this?

On what operating system? windows xp professional
What script ? Ms Dos script (.bat file)
With what version of Oracle? Oracle 9i
and why would you want to? Every month I need a job which when called will load a certain file from a predefined path to the target Oracle database using sql loader.
I haave not worked with control files in the recent past and have a faded memory regarding this usage.
All i remeber is calling sqlldr from cmd prompt specifying the ctl files and stuff......
any other ideas are welcome..... thnkx!

Stopping/Starting Portal via BAT file on Windows

In our landscape we have the ABAP and JAVA stack installed on separate servers for security reason. We are trying to implement windows updates via SUS and need to automate the stopping and starting of SAP. The bat file that was created works when stopping and starting the ABAP portion of SAP but on the Portal server it will take it down but when trying to start Portal, the J2ee Server will not start, but when I use the SAP MMC all servers starts up without any problem. Below is the start up bat file, any assistance will be greatly appreciated:

REM end of script

I looked up some training material and in TADM10 - Unit4 - Starting and Stopping a SAP NetWeaver AS Java.. the following is stated:
Under Windows, the SAP system can also be started and stopped without a GUI by
calling a command by means of the executable files startsap.exe and stopsap.exe. This
can be done using a simple telnet access.
To start an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
following command: startsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
To stop an instance of the SAP system, open a telnet connection and enter the
following command: stopsap name=<SID> nr=<instance nr.>
SAPDIAHOST=<hostname>
For the SAPDIAHOST parameter, enter the name of the host on which the instance is
to be started.
So the script is correct, its all according to SAP advice... very strange

Screen Saver has started pulling from Wallpaper file AND I-Photo

Suddenly for no apparent reason, Screen Saver has started pulling photos from I-Photo as well as my Wallpaper File.
I do NOT want it to display from the I-Photo library.
In the Source option, I have selected Wallpaper (the name of the file). Also have it coming on in 20 minutes and randomly. Display is Origami.
Any suggestions?

Hey BD!
Thanks for response. Approaching Sleep Time There. I am kinda weird tonight.

How can I use an java based app that starts via an inf or bat file?

I have java exe application that is started using a .bat file and a java exe application that is started using an inf file. Both the .bat and inf prevent the respective application from kicking off. Is there a way to convert these file types so that they execute on my MacBook?

I didn't expect you to have your customer run the command. I would expect you to create the executable and install it. However, there wouldn't be any difference in what you are creating and the .jar file. Either way it is a faceless icon. For that matter, it is no different than a batch file on Windows. I'm not sure what they wouldn't understand with, "copy the Vocab.jar file to wherever you want and double-click it to run the program." In addition, you probably ought to point out that Java is not installed on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) and when they double-click the jar file (or whatever you send them), the system will ask if they want to install Java.
What you really need to do is package up the app inside a Mac application package and provide the user with the application on a .dmg (disk image). Take a look here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Jar_Bundle r/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000884
I also found this which uses ANT to create the bundle: http://informagen.com/JarBundler/

Problems with calling a Bat file in java...

i'm having some issues when i try to call my bat file within java...
here is the code
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe C:\\dev\\CMIC\\components\\client\\bin\\startup.bat");
it starts up the bat file but it seems to only execute the first line in the bat, then it shuts it down... i dont get it. cuz if i call that bat from another bat it works fine.. if i click on it, it works fine why would java have a problem with it?

After doing some searching around... this is what i came up with.. but i still get the same results.. the dos screen pops up and then poof.. its gone..

Schedule bat file for sqlplus

Hi Experts,
Do we have any way to schedule bat file to run asqlplus SQL statement?
I know we can use pl/sql procedure by dbms_schdule.
I create a bat file as
set ORACLE_SID=ORCA
set CONNECT_USER='del/del@test'
set exp_dir=spool c:exprd_
set SQLState =select *from errdbg order by seq desc
set today=%date:~-4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%
set exp_end =spool off
Set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;
%ORACLE_HOME%CONNECT_USER%exp_dir %today%.txt
SQLState
exp_end
but it can not open sqlplus
Thanks

You should create sql file and call it from bat file by writing:
@sqlplus usr/pass@db @c:\your_sql_file.sql

Using a .bat file to use Values in Registry from another Registry

I recently starting working in an IT Department and for years my superiors/co-workers have always had a piece of software called "cyt.exe".
When ever I logged in someones computer as Admin, this software allowed me to log out with their username still in the log in text box. We recently upgraded a large quantity of systems to Wins7 and WinEmbedded7 and that program no longer works due to the
registry change.
Currently the best I could to for replicating that software function as .bat file is:
call reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" /v LastLoggedOnSAMUser /t REG_SZ /d "domain/username" /f
call reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" /v LastLoggedOnUser /t REG_SZ /d "doamain/username" /f
pause
When I log out, it leaves the user name and password blank which is OK but I need to take it one step further. I need the values of:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI
"LastLoggedOnSAMUser"="domain\username"
"LastLoggedOnUser"="domain\username"
to match the values that are in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\1
"LoggedOnSAMUser"="domain\username"
"LoggedOnUser"="domain\username"
Any suggestions on what I need to change in my code to manipulate the registry to match those values without having to manually input them?

- Vegan Fanatic
"can you fix the cyt.exe program, that would be the best option long term"
Well the cyt.exe program hasn't been updated since 2000 (version 2.3 and 2.5 were the latest versions) so I can only assume the developer has abandoned the project. The reason why it doesn't work anymore is because of the registry change going from XP to
Vista/Win7/Win8.
Once I have my own batch file, it will be easier to tweak it as needed when an operating system changes then it is to rely/wait on someone else to update a very specific piece of software that only has one small purpose that has most likely been forgotten.
As much as I would like to modify the existing program, I don't have any software I can use to re-program it and I doubt I have enough knowledge or experience to tweak it correctly.
- Frederik Long
"You need to experiment either with reg query / reg add or reg export / reg import. Each of these commands has inbuilt help, e.g. reg import /?."
From what I tested, the export/import copies the file and its values and placed them where I asked it too. That is not what I need. I need the values ONLY and placed within the file I need which has a different name from the file I exported from.

How to call a exe or bat file from java program

hi,
i actually want to know that how to call a exe or bat file from program so that i can run them parallely.

How can I execute a .bat file from inside a java application

I have a .bat file which contains an executable file(.exe) and some input and output file names. What commands can I use to execute this bat file from my java application.

After raeding tkleisas' reply; i am trying to invoke another application (which can be invoked from the command line) by using a batch file and trying Runtime.exec for executing a batch file.
My current code is:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process trialProcess;
trialProcess = runtime.exec("cmd.exe /C start C:\\guns.bat /B");
And my guns.bat looks like:
cd C:\CALPUFF
echo trial
start calpuff.exe CALPUFF.INP
This is not working for me and i get the following in the error stream of the trialProcess:
Error :
The system cannot execute the specified program.
Process finished with exit code 1
Has anyone come across something like this and know what's wrong with this one??
thnx

Bat file to Start Service.

Hi All,
I need a bat file to restart one of the service when user login to the PC. These users are not local admins so they cannot start this service.
net start "Service Updater" give and access denied.
This service have to run as SUser not as System account.
so how do i run this bat file with above user credentials?

This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Okay this is what you do the fix this problem.
1. Uninstall the oracle home for OWB
2. Make sure that the oracle home directory you unistalled is removed from the hard drive
3. re-install the OWB software
4. drop the owb users and repositories you created earlier
5. using the advanced install path reinstall owb repositories and user accounts to NEW user accounts (OWBRT_SYS will remain the same however)
6. start the control service -- this should work now.

Running bat files from JDeveloper

hi
Sometimes it could be convenient to run a bat file directly from JDeveloper.
For example, the application in SQLAuthenticatorApp-v0.02.zip (see also forum thread "how to disable (or lock) users") has an Ant file BuildStuff/build-wlst.xml which has targets like "wlst.create-domain" and "create.wls-start-stop-bat-files", the last one resulting in some bat files which I have been able to configure to run from JDeveloper,
see http://www.consideringred.com/files/oracle/img/2011/run-using-cmd-20110529.png
The External Tool cmd configuration I use is shown in the screenshot

See also the blog post by John 'JB' Brock

- (q1) How can I configure the External Tool cmd to run in its own cmd (command) window outside JDeveloper?
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Hi Jan,
It looks like this is going to be a bug from what I can see. After looking at it a little more this morning, not only does it not display the cmd window, but if you use the /k argument, it leaves the script running in memory. Look at your Task Manager after running a few times with /k
I'll file a bug, and see if anyone has a work around or something that I missed.
For now, it would appear this is not possible, and you will just have to see the result in the log window. I would not use /k as well. Stick with /c for now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Creating windows .bat file from within an oracle .prc or .sql file

I am currently converting a series of batch jobs on a windows server to use an Oracle db rather than a MS sql server db. In ms sql, I could call \mssql80\binn\isql and it allowed me to pass in .prc files and have a .bat file returned. the .bat file is then executed in the calling bat to set variable value returned in the sql call...
I am thinking I can spool a bat file, however, i do not know how to populate this file with the literals and query values needed to create the bat file which sets values used for further processing in the original calling bat file...
Does that make sense? any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
There can be various ways to do this.
First and simple way is simply spooling out the batch file. Suppose you have a .sql file with all the queries, run the .sql from DOS prompt like this,
c:\> sqlplus -s username/password@tnsname @mysqlfile.sql
the contents of mysqlfile.sql can be,
rem ---------------------
set echo off feedback off head off
spool c:\batch_files\mybatch.bat
select 'start \w ' || win_app_name from mytable ;
spool off
rem ----------------------
exit
So, you can get the batch file created with desired name in desired directory. The '-s' mentioned in the sqlplus command is important.
There is another difficult/tedious way, but that can give you exact output. With UTL_FILE package you can write an operating system file from pl/sql code, stored procedure/package. Its look more like C-language code, but is usefull. So, write a sql or stored procedure and create the batch file. For that matter, you can write any type of file, just you can write whatever you want to a file.
Cheers

Running workbook from .bat fails to start application missing CORE40 dll

I have been running several workbook via windows task scheduler / vbscript &/or bat files.
I now have a new box which I access thru Remote Desktop Connection, so I can run all these automated updates without having my screen blinking everytime a shedule workbook starts.
If I click on the actual Discoverer icon, or the discoverer workbook shortuct, all works well.
If I click on the .bat file, or try to run the workbook via the cmd , it gives me the following error:
DIS4USR.EXE – Unable To Locate Component
“this application has failed to start because CORE40.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.”
The dll is under c/orant/bin/core40.dll, which is where I've read it should be, and it works fine in my regular box...
Please help! URGENT :)
Thanks!

Hello
Check the PATH environment variables for the machine you are on and the one you are connecting to.
You might not have Discoverer's objects in the PATH.
Another possibility is that you have more than one piece of ORACLE software on the machine and you may need to also set the ORACLE_HOME within the BAT file.
Best wishes
Michael
