Test Stand: How does parameter's value is passed as command line argument?

Hi All,
This is my 1st Q on this board.
I'm using Test Stand Sequence to call a subsequence where I call an executable file and passing few arguments to it.
SuperSequence.seq => SubSequence.seq
In SuperSequence.seq I have 3 parameters and their values are specified
Parameters
Name      Type    Value
==============================
Name      string    "Nirvana"
Address string    "London"
Tel           Number "123456"
In SubSeq.seq I call and EXE with following parameters
Executable Path Name: myApp.exe
Argument Expressxion: "Parameters.Name Parameters.Address Parameters.Tel"
In the application I receive parameter names instead of their values?
E.g. I recevie Parameters.Name Parameters.Address Parameters.Tel in myApp.exe as arguments.
How do I make the values to be passed to myApp.exe instaed of parameter names?
Cheers
Nirvana

Hi,
You have to make a string containing the arguments that you require
Try the following expression
Parameters.Name + " " + Parameters.Address + " " +Str( Parameters.Tel)

How to pass a command line argument to a jsp file...

Hi guys,
I'm writing a jsp file in which I have some java codes. I want to pass some command line arguments to that jsp file. In other words, I have some files located somewhere on my C drive and I want to pass the path to these files to my jsp file. How can it be done? I have never done before.
Any suggestion will be very hepful...
Thanks....

I dont know if I truly understand your problem...
For instance, when you place the url of your jsp you can add, at the end some parameters. For example:
http://myserver/myapp/myjsp.jsp?MyParameter=C:\Temp\JavaTutorial.html
In your JSP, you can place this code on a scriplet to get the value:
String path = request.getParameter("MyParameter");
Hope it helps.

How to pass a command line argument to the sequence?

Hi,
My GUI is written in VB.NET. I can read the command line argument in the GUI, using: Me.AxApplicationMgr.CommandLineArguments(). But I don't know how to pass it on to my sequence file which the GUI invokes. How do I read the command line argument from the sequence file?
My purpose, is to have the same basic sequence execute different subsequences depending on starting conditions...
I am using TestStand 3.0 with a VB.NET GUI, on Windows XP.
I'd appreciate any help on the subject.
Alan

Hi Alan,
One obvious way would be to add parameter(s) to the MainSequence and then modify the process model sequence file to use the new parameter(s) in the step "MainSequence Callback" in either Single Pass or Test UUTs but I wouldn't recommend this approach.
The sequence file to be run via the entry point can be found at "RunState.ProcessModelClient" and the lookup string to the MainSequence would be "RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.Seq["MainSequence"] or .Seq[0] .
Therefore you could quite easy use the SetVal method to setup a Local variable in the MainSequence of your Sequence File to receive the command line string.
Also you could do this without altering the Process Model Sequence File by using the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup in your Sequence File.
As an example.
You have a string in your Locals of MainSequence called CmdLineStr.
If you add the Callback Sequence ProcessSetup to your SequenceFile, then add an ActiveX Automation Adapter step which is setup for a PropertyObject and the reference is RunState.Caller.RunState.ProcessModel.Data.Seq[0].Locals.CmdLineStr.
There is an extra RunState.Caller to the lookup string, that's because I am doing the work in a SubSequence of Entry Point Sequence.
The method to use is SetValString and the parameters of the PropertyObject will be
lookupString = ""
options = 0 or 1
newValue = where evey you have stored you command line string.
Now when you run your sequence file you will find that the Locals.CmdLineStr will contain your parameter string.
Hope this is of help to you.

How to read -Dname=value pair command line arguments

Hi
iam running one program called report.java as given below
compile:
javac report.java
run:
java report -Djava.path=home/arao/jaava1.5/bin
my problem is how to read name and value pair given in command line argument.
System.getProperty("java.path");//not working can anybody help how to read name and value
pair of -D option

If you put that string after the name of the class you are running, then it's a command line parameter. Your main() method can look at args[0] to see it. However it would be better if you just put it before the name of the class, where it's supposed to go if you want it to be treated as a system property.

Filenames as Command Line Arguments: How?

i need to create a program that involves taking in a file name as command line argument, reads the file and then displays its contents on the screen. it needs to work with any file with a .txt extension.
The only thing i dont fully understand is how to read the file name as a command line argument e.g.
"java FileReaderApp myfile.txt
----contents of file--------
Thanks in advance
Carl
P.S. I have lready read the various helps, utils etc for java and still dont really understand

Okay, first, it will help if you don't think of "filenames as command line args." The two concepts are totally independent.
Command line args are Strings. What you do with those Strings is up to you. Processing the command line args is the same, regardless of whether they represent file names or the turnons of the last 50 playmates.
The args array below contains the command line args.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// do stuff
} Files are generally referred to using the java.io.File. It takes a String for the file name. It doesn't matter where the String comes from.
Look at FileReader and BufferedReader to actually read the contents of the file.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/BufferedReader.html

How to Pass Command line arguments to an exe created in LV8.0

Hi Friends,
I have Created an exe in LV8.0, which accepts the Folder path as input and executes.
I want to call this exe passing the parameter (i.e folder path in my case) from the command line argument. How to pass arguments to the exe ?
Generally we may be having different types of input parameters to a vi like numeric control, string, boolean etc..If we create an exe that needs three input parameters among which one is boolean, other is string and third is a numeric value.
How to pass these different types of input controls to the exe as parameters in command line at the same time?
Thanks and Regards,
SODLB

I don't have any experience with the 8.x application builder, but the 7.x one has a checkbox for passing the arguments to the executable.
As for reading them, there should be an example in the example finder (Help>>Find Examples) which shows how to do this. If you want to pass multiple parameters, I suggest you use a structure similar to NAME=VALUE, so that you can parse each element to find the = and then use a case structure to decide what to do with the parameters. This allows your users to enter or not enter any of the switches.

Jay,
Your question isn't very clear, hence Joerg's well meaning but irrelevant advise.
Do you mean:
I've written a simple program in java which echos
it's command-line arguments to back to the console.
Here's my code:
package forums;
public class ArgsEchoer
public static void main(String[] args) {
for (String arg : args) {
System.out.println(arg);
But can't figure out how to compile and run the program.
I'm using winblows shista, and it's cr@p.
Please help me, Thanks in advance.So... where are you at? Have you installed the JDK (java development kit)? Which version? Is your path set? Is your classpath set?

How to add command line arguments to shortcuts in the LV8.5.1 installer

I want to create multiple shortcuts to my LV program, each with different command line arguments.
I can do this manually.
I want the installer to generate these shortcuts.
I can add different shortcuts in de installer build specification, but I cannot add commandline arguments in the shortcuts.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Rindert

Hello Forum,
Does anyone have any better data for this? I would also like to create an installer using Labview Project Explorer tool (Build Specification->Installer), and I have a need to create some shortcuts to some EXE's (VS.NET built, not LV) which need to have some arguments passed. I just verified that LV8.6 still does not seem to offer the option of passing arguments when creating shortcuts. Is this correct? Creating stub EXE's or batch files isn't a good option for my project, so I'd like to have someone confirm if LV installer tool can't create shortcuts w/ arguments before I fire up InstallShield.

How to hide the command line arguments from solaris process

Hi All,
When I execute a JAR application from a java file using the Runtime.getRuntime, the command line arguments (user ID and Password details) which I passed for executing the application displayed on Solaris process (ps -ef).
Could anybody please help me, how can I hide either the process or the command line arguments from the Solaris process?
I cannot pass any asterix or any special character in place of password, because the executing application doesn't have any functionality to retreive the password which send as asterix characters.
Please help me
SumodeV

Thanks for all the response.
I have created a design and implement the functionality which executes the JAR application in Solaris environment without showing any details in the process details.
I have used the Java Reflection method, which invokes the JAR application. I am sharing the details here for all those who looking for it.
1, Inside the Customer application [Jar File is running for it], collect the necessary session details [Using System.get property method]
2, Create an independent Java file, which should be used to invoke the JAR application
3, Create the ProcessBuilder object and use a command - execute the Java file [a wrapper code] using normal Java command
4, Pass the necessary session details to the ProcessBuilder using the environment() function.
5. Collect the environment values in the independent Java file (Which was invoked by ProcessBuilder) and set details for its environment using System.setProperty.
6, Use reflection technique to invoke the JAR plugin [which you want to run]. You can use the standard Java functionality to read the MANIFEST file of JAR and load the main class using URLClassLoader.
7, Invoke the main method of the JAR file, which run the JAR application in Solaris window
This solution will make sure that the process cannot display any session details in the Solaris Environment.
Note: Use String[] array while create the command. Otherwise the JAR application cannot pop-up.

How to upde userid to uid=0 using command line?

Hi all,
I made a new user "sysadmin" by typing at root command line:
# useradd sysadmin (all default profile values)
What is the command (line) to update its UID to "0"?
Thanks you very much in advance.
Ms KK

In general, having multiple accounts with the same UID is a bad idea. To have
multiple "root" accounts is very, very bad idea.
If you need an ordinary mortal user to be able to execute privileged commands,
set up the sudo(1) facility. This will let you grant permission with a fine
level of control about exactly which program or command is being used. As a
bonus, you will get an audit trail of who did what as whom.
The great thing about sudo(1) is that you can grant root privilege without
having to give out root's password.
Now, assume you make duplicate "root" accounts. You get offered a better job
and leave. The new sysadmin will need careful briefing before doing anything.
This will create a major maintainability issue long term.
If you want another root user for disaster recovery or losing the password,
there are better alternatives such as:
-- Reboot the system using rescue mode from the installation disks.
-- Boot into single-user mode by interrupting the GRUB install sequence and appending "s" to the kernel command line.
-- Boot into an interactive shell by appending the "init=/bin/bash" clause using the same technique.
These are some of the known, common, best practice methods of handling this
situation. A custom solution here could be quite dangerous and hard to maintain
in the long run.
Please don't.

How to pass command line arguments to Web Start appclient?

Hi,
I would like to pass arguments to appclient, but "javaws" unable to do that.
Do I have to overwrite the JNLP? I use Sun Appserver 9.0, it creates JNLP on the fly!!!
Please help, thanx!
MB

Hi, MB.
If you are talking about the automatic Java Web Start support for launching app clients in GlassFish, you can pass the equivalent of command line arguments using the query string of the URL you use to launch the app client.
Briefly, use
http://host:port/client-path?arg=first-arg&arg=second-arg& ...
specifying the argument values in the order that you want them passed to the client.
The GlassFish server will do the right thing and generates the correct JNLP so your arguments are passed to the app client.
The GlassFish developer's guide http://glassfish.dev.java.net/nonav/javaee5/docs/AS91DG.pdf discusses this and all aspects of the Java Web Start support. You can also take a look at this blog entry http://blogs.sun.com/quinn/entry/command_line_arguments_and_properties that focuses on how to pass arguments.
Since this technique deals with argument passing in the URL, it works no matter how you launch the app client: a URL in a browser, the javaws command, etc.

How to give command line arguments

does anyone help me out in how to give command line arguments after run my program
m using netbeans6.0.1

If you want your program to take console input while it's running (as opposed to command line arguments, which are passed once, when you start your program), you can wrap a BufferdInputStream or a Scanner around System.in.

Ant: how to get command-line argument?

When using Ant to build Java source files, what is the syntax of obtaining command-line argument in build.xml?

From the documentation:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html#libs
Examples
ant
runs Ant using the build.xml file in the current directory, on the default target.
ant -buildfile test.xml
runs Ant using the test.xml file in the current directory, on the default target.
ant -buildfile test.xml dist
runs Ant using the test.xml file in the current directory, on the target called dist.
ant -buildfile test.xml -Dbuild=build/classes dist
runs Ant using the test.xml file in the current directory, on the target called dist, setting the build property to the value build/classes.
ant -lib /home/ant/extras
runs Ant picking up additional task and support jars from the /home/ant/extras location
steps:
- You define a property (like ${my.prop}) in your build.xml
- You define it in the command line, like
ant -Dmy.prop=chosen_value compile
where "compile" is the target and "-Dmy.prop=chosen_value" defines the value of the property "my.prop" as "chosen_value".
