Running an External Program from Batch on Windows Server 2008R2 Failing

Hi,
I am trying to run an external program from a batch job and it is failing with this error message:
Ext. prog.: ERROR: Input redirection is not supported, exiting the process immediately.
Ext. prog.: External program terminated with exit code 1
The program I am trying to run is: timeout
This command works on the OS: timeout -t 30
I have setup the step to look like this:
Under External Program:
-Name: timeout
-Parameter: -t 30
I have also tried:
-Name: timeout -t -30
-Parameter:
I am running ECC 6.04 on top of Windows Server 2008R2 with SQL Server 2008R2.
When we were running in Server 2003 on ECC 6.0 I was able to use the Sleep program just fine in the same manner. I have found out that sleep is not available in server 2008. It was replaced with timeout.
After an update to EHP4 and moving to Windows Server 2008R2, Is there any pre-work that needs to be done on the SAP or Windows side before we can run external programs?
Thank you,
Neil

No - this is no more true like that since Windows 2008, it's a bit more complex:

Add the policy using group policy editor (gpedit.msc)

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

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());
        }

JCO.Server Error while trying to execute a RFC program from SAP

Hi,
We are connecting to an external registered server program from SAP via Web Methods.
The external server program is registered with the SAP Gateway. We have created a TCP/IP RFC destination and are able to connect to the destination successfully via SM59.
An RFC function is created in SAP and is called using the syntax CALL FUNCTION "/NGN/BAPI_STRE_SEARCH_PROCESS" DESTINATION 'PRDB2B'. We have also handled the COMM_FALIURE and SYSTEM_FALIURE exceptions in the function call.
We are monitoring the gateway via SMGW and see a connection log to the RFC destination as below
Number - 10
LUname - dev01
TPName - sapgw00
User - KRAORANE
Status - CONNECTED
Symbolic - PRDB2B
Conversation - 86520353
Prot - REG
SAP return code - 0
CPIC rtn code - 0
The external program returns results as expected.
However sometimes the RFC fails and returns the message JCO.Server could not create server function /NGN/BAPI_STRE_SEARCH_PROCESS.
We are not able to figure what exactly is causing this error. Any help will be highly appreciated.

If anyone know please let me inform.
Thanks in Advance.

Steps
1. Create an entry in tnsnames.ora for the remote oracle DB
2. Test sqlplus user/pass@remote
3. create a synonym which points to a table at remote DB check docs.oracle.com
4. user ABAP code execute SQL to insert data into local synonym which inturn updates the remote DB.
I have done this in the past, it works great.
It requries, DBA skills + ABAP programming

Call to Web Sevice in external system from SAP CRM

Hi,
I have to make a call to External system from SAP CRM 5.0 system. The external system will provide a sample webservice which SAP will try to initiate
Can you please tell me:
1. What settings/object needs to be maintained in SAP in order to make this call.
2. how I can make a call to this Web-Service from a BADI and pass the values to web service and also capture the returning value.
Please explain in detail
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
You should honestly search the SDN site for consuming web services with ABAP. There are some good examples.
However the general procedure is easy:
1. Generate an ABAP proxy using the WSDL provided to you by the external program
2. Configure an HTTP destination for the server of the web services (needed for HTTPS calls)
3. Configure the logical port for the web service using lpconfig
4. Write the abap code to call the webservice via the proxy. Works very similar to FM call in my opinion.
To expose a webservice(bapi being called from outside) you need to do a little more work
1. Create a web services for the RFC enabled function module via SE80
2. Use wsadmin and wsconfig to make the service available
3. Publish the service out to the UDDI as needed.
Once again this code is pretty well documented in the standard help and SDN. Do a simple search on ABAP proxies and you will find what you need.
Take care,
Stephen

Calling Non SAP programe from SAP program

Hi Experts...
Can we cal Non SAP programs Like Windows EXE programs from ABAP programs ?
If yes Then How .....
Regards ...
..Ashish

Hi Ashish ,
Ya we can call a non SAP program from SAP program.
For example we can call a EXE program from the SAP program using the RFC connection created in SM59.
In Sm 59 you can create a TCP/IP connection and give the path of the executable there.

When I call an external program from Labview, how can I embed the interface into the front panel?

I'm running Labiew 6i for Linux. I'm using a system exec.vi to call an external program to do image manipulation (since there is no IMAQ for linux). How can I embed the user interface of the external program into the front panel of Labview?

As far as I know, the only way to embed other GUIs in LabView is an ActiveX in a container.
As long as you are using Linux, try to place (moving them on the desktop ) the two windows linked (like those 3 of WinAmp).
