Using the command line with DESKI to run a specific module in a report

I'm using BOXI R2 Desktop edition in a Windows Environment.
I have a report with a macro inserted in it which is composed of several sub-modules.
I know I can launch the report from the command line as follows: "C:\PROGRAM FILES\BUSINESS OBJECTS\BUSINESSOBJECTS\BUSOBJ.EXE" -user "USERID" -pass "PSWD" "Directory and Filename" -keyfile "Keyfilename" -nologo
What I want to know is can I launch the report from the command line and call a specific module. So if I have 5 modules in a single report, can I just call 1 from the command line?
How would that be formatted?
Thanks in advance.

There's some more stuff to be done to correctly call external executables.
Read [When Runtime.exec() wont|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html], it shows some of the pitfalls of Runtime.exec().
Edit: there's also JRuby, which might be worth a try.

Using the command line client...

I've got a few thousand videos, with metadata, that I have to add to an existing FCS install. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out the proper way to use the command line.
If I run the following command as root (paasset_predict_motorvideo is the name of my metadata set, as listed in the admin app...)
bash-3.2# ./fcsvr_client createasset paasset_predict_motorvideo /Users/bfinley/Desktop/test.mov
I get the following error:
{ CODE = E_NOTSUPP, DESC = Entity /Users/bfinley/Desktop/test.mov doesn't know how to do anything, SRC_FILE = PmdEntity.C, SRC_LINE = 1509, ERROR_TYPE = ET_PERM, ADDRESS = /Users/bfinley/Desktop/test.mov }
If I pass in the --host, --user, and -pass on the same command, i get:
{ CODE = EMISSINGPARAM, DESC = CURRENTPERMID missing in PmsTask_QueryPerms, looks like unknown node failed to pass it down to child unknown node, NODE = ["PmsTask_QueryPerms" 0x2a51c50, ref=3, wref=2] taskState=0 dbqueue=0x184fb64 needTrans, SRC_FILE = PmsTask_QueryPerms.C, SRC_LINE = 136 }
I don't need to add any metadata to it, and i get the same error whether I enter any metadata at the end of the query or not.
I just have a pile of videos, the filenames of which are keys to a table that contains the rest of the metadata, and I want to automate the addition of them to the new FC Server install.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
Thanks in advance.

Brian:
I've start by placing assets into a device that is configured with Final Cut Server (FCSvr).
Example, let say you have a folder on your desktop name 1000videos.
Create a device in FCSvr and map it to /Users/bfinley/1000videos.
Name this Device with the name of your choice i.e. Library2
Don't apply any scan schedules to this device etc.
After you're done with that determine the device id of the new created device by running this command
./fcsvr_client search /dev
you get some output like
Address DEVICE_NAME DEVICE_TYPE
/dev/7 Archive_Device filesystem
/dev/13 Library filesystem
/dev/10 Media filesystem
Note down the device id of your newly created device i.e. /dev/13
Next assuming that you have a file with a filename of test.mov
use the following command
sudo fcsvr_client createasset paasset_predict_motorvideo /dev13/test.mov
you should receive a response to this output containing the newly create asset id.
Hope this helps.

Can't change activation only mode to off using the command line in Windows 7 64 bit

I used the command line to turn activation only mode on and now when I use teh command to turn it off it will not change the iTunes setup. I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling and it is stillin activation only mode.

Hi! Thx for your quick reply! I am still unsure what to do tho---see my questions below in bold:
Windows 7 comes with its own version of the standard PostScript driver. = Where is this driver? I have no idea how to find it, it doesn't show up in my Printer menu in FM?
Given that PostScript generated by a driver can be highly device-specific, you need to install the driver as modified by the PPD file for the device in question. Most printer manufacturers in fact provide a PostScript driver installer that associates their printer's PPD file with the standard Windows Printer driver and subsequently creates what is called a PostScript printer driver instance for the particular device on the I/O port you designate. = ??? I've only updated a PPD file for watermarks and have no idea what this means...is there a step-by-step instruction for this? I just need to download a PS driver to select that works & doesn't freeze up my FM when creating a .ps file.
The real question thus is exactly what are you trying to generate PostScript for? = I create a PS, & then use Distiller to create a PDF. This enables me to have a PDF that automatically has Bookmarks, the TOC/LOF/LOT & all corss-refs are hyperlinked, etc.
If you are trying to create PostScript for distillation into PDF, Acrobat installs a PostScript driver instance of its own, labelled Adobe PDF, that is associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD. = I have tried the Adobe PDF selection from my Printer menu in FM, but it freezes up FM and I have to close the whole program & no PDF generates.
BTW, although you may be successful in installing and running FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7, in fact Adobe officially does not support FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7. = I don't know what to say---the upgrade is too expensive for some of us folks out here right now, so we all need to work with what we have for now!
I appreciate your help, thank you.

How to pass in variables using the command line when starting ActionScript native app

How do I pass in variables or startup arguments using the command line when starting an ActionScript native app? For example, I have my app call MySweetWidget and it has been compiled with Adobe AIR captive runtime so now I have MySweetWidget.exe.
In the command line, I am calling MySweetWidget.exe and would like to pass in variables or properties to the application. I would assume that those variables are then read from the loaderInfo.parameters object.
Please let me know if the Adobe AIR runtime supports passing in parameters to the native runtime. If so, I would like help determining the correct format of how to pass in the variables. Then would you read those from the loaderinfo.parameters object?
Thanks,
Jeff

I found the answer to my own question:
Yes it is a supported feature. It is documented on the following page:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeApp lication.html#event:invoke
When you subscribe to the invoke event of the NativeApplication it will subsequently dispatch the event and you read the e.arguments Array object to get the startup arguments passed into the native application.

How to enable Rosetta at the system level using the command line?

I need to find a way to enable Rosetta at the system level (e.g. all users) using the command line. When Rosetta is enabled, the following entry is created in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices (run defaults read com.apple.LaunchServices)
LSPrefsFatApplications = {
"com.apple.Safari" = (
<00000000 009a0003 00010000 c323458f 0000482b 00000000 00000023 0000727b 0000c2b0 8b4e0000 00000920 fffe0000 00000000 0000ffff ffff0001 00040000 0023000e 0016000a 00530061 00660061 00720069 002e0061 00700070 000f0014 00090053 00650072 00760065 00720020 00480044 00120017 4170706c 69636174 696f6e73 2f536166 6172692e 61707000 00130001 2f00ffff 0000>
Does anyone know what the data shown here is? It doesn't change when Rosetta is turned off and then back on. It also doesn't change between user accounts (e.g. joe's com.apple.LaunchServices.plist has the same value as jane's).
Will it be possible to run defaults in a way that makes this change work for all users of the computer?

I am asking about the option to run in non-interactive modeIt cannot be done. Check "Oracle® Applications Maintenance Utilities Release 11i (11.5.10.2)" manual for more details.

Scheduling workbooks using the command line

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's possible to schedule workbooks in Discoverer using the command line interface? If so, could you point me in the direction of any relevant documentation?
We've got 300+ reports to schedule on a regular basis and it would be useful if we had different options to schedule the workbooks e.g. for batch processing.
Thanks and regards

Inspired by your MacOS fix, I went looking to see if their was an easier Windows fix than my 'Repair Bonjour' process. Turns out there might be.
In the Bonjour 'Program Files' folder, there is an application named 'mDNSResponder.exe' which brings up a DOS dialog. After running this application and then opening iTunes, I had a stable AppleTV-iTunes connection through the evening until I put my computer to sleep.
I haven't done any thorough testing around this (the kind that Apple should have done before releasing iTunes 7.6), but it does seem to at least temporarily resolve the issue until iTunes is closed again. What would be nice is if this works without having to restart a faulty iTunes session (which the 'Repair' fix doesn't).

Using the command "java" with DOS

Hey, until yesterday, I was able to simply use the commands "java, or javac" to run, or compile java in DOS. But now for some reason I can't use these commands. I have to use the full addresses of the java and javac.exe files. How can I fix this? Do I have to be in the \bin folder to use these with the command name only? It's a pain to store my files in the bin folder. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Before going further, can we try another domain name to see what will happen?
Besides, if the issue persists, we can try installing a new child domain by using the GUI.

Can I use the Command Line Interface on Unix?

Hi,
We use 9iAS on Unix. We want to use Discoverer Command Line Interface on unix to export the worksheet query result. Can anyone know how to do this? I couldn't find out the command similar to dis5usr.exe for windows version.
Thanks.

Hello Richard
You can use the Discoverer EUL Command Line for Java utility. This was released with Discoverer 10g (9.0.4).
Please refer to the documentation for more information on how to use this command line interface: 'Oracle Discoverer EUL Command Line for Java User's Guide 10g (9.0.4), Part No. B10274_01 (PDF)' The document is available from OTN at http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/discoverer.html

How to check for physical damage on a disk using the Command Line

I have a startup disk that I suspect of physical damage. The symptoms is that the server (10.4.7) would "hang" randomly, about once a day. I have already changed it and restored from a backup, and now everything is fine. However just out of curiosity are there any command line utilities to do a physical surface scan of the drive, like TechTool Pro but included in Mac OS X Tiger?
G4 Dual 1.42 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Extract from the Command Line Guide for Tiger Server:
Checking for Disk Problems
You can use the diskutil or fsck command (fsck_hfs for HFS volumes) to check the physical condition and file system integrity of a volume. For more information, see the related man pages.

Invoking XSLT from the Command Line with JRE1.4 and JRE1.5

When I invoke XSLT from the Windows Command Line with "java.exe org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -IN OldFile.xml -XSL StyleSheet.xsl -OUT NewFile.xml" it worked fine with JRE1.4.
Then I installed JRE1.5.0_09. The class "org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process" was moved to "com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xslt.Process". But when I call it with "java.exe com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xslt.Process -IN OldFile.xml -XSL StyleSheet.xsl -OUT NewFile.xml" I get the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main". When I look into the Process class there is no "main", but a "public static void _main(String argv[])".
The "JAXP Compatibility Guide for the J2SE Platform, versions 1.4 and 1.5" on "http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.6/jaxp/JAXP-Compatibility_150.html" chapter "Invoking XSLT from the Command Line" claims it should work.
Is there no more chance to invoke XSLT from the Windows Command Line? Why is "main" renamed to "_main"? Is the documentation wrong or is this a bug?

Can I create a new folder using the command line interface

Hi.
Is there a way to create a new folder in an existing business area, from the command-line?
We have an application that provides an interface for the user to create a table and load flat file data into the table. After loading the data, the user will verify the loaded data using discoverer. If there is a command line interface to create a new folder, then the script that created the table can also call the discoverer command line to create a new folder for the new table. Is this possible?
Thanks

Is there a way to run Firefox updates on Macintosh computers using the command line?

In our school district we have thousands of Macintosh computers that have Firefox installed (on Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.6). When a new update is released to fix security vulnerabilities it would be very helpful if our Tech Support Specialists could send out a command to all the Macs using Apple Remote Desktop to update Firefox. Is there a command that can be sent to update Firefox? If so, could you please tell me what the command is? Thanks so much for any help that can be provided.

Certainly, but not with external interface.
Have a look at the cookbooks. There are examples of how to use the root host object to call directly into extendscript.
