Webutil: excel.exe process remains

Environment: Win2000, 9ids, Webutil 1.0.2(Beta)
Hi all,
i am doing some testing with webutil. I found out that using the following code in a when-button-pressed trigger on a simple form, it works fine, but an excel.exe process still remains in taskmanager. It is only released/killed when I close my form.
declare
application client_ole2.obj_type;
BEGIN
application := client_ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
client_ole2.set_property(application,'Visible','True');
client_ole2.invoke(application,'Quit');
client_ole2.release_obj(application);
END;
Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance

Dear Gerald,
I'm surprising that why I cannot get a functional result from generating Excel and Word reports as well as importing data from Excel spreadsheets with SAME codes as yours. I'm using Webutil(Ver 1.0.2) in form 9i (Ver 9.0.4.0.19) with JInitiator 1.3.1.13. I get WUC-20 error when open the form which contains Webutil Ole2 functions. How can I fix it? What am I miss?
Error Description
ERROR>WUC-20 [URLDownload.pullFile()] The stated size of the source file http://nt4_132:8889/forms90/f90servlet/webutil/jacob.dll does not match that of the downloaded file C:\PROGRA~1\Oracle\JINITI~1.13\bin\jacob.dll
I've downloaded the d2kwut60.dll, jacob.dll & JNIsharedstubs.dll under the same directory. I also find that Jinitiator will download these DLLs when form service startup to c:\program files\oracle\jinitiator 1.3.1.13\bin, but not to \webutil. These 2 sets of DLLs are different, is it really normal and workable of calling Webutil Ole2 functions?
I understand that WUC-20 related to the defination problem of install.syslib.location. I've tried the following settings but none go without this error. What are the settings which make the virtual directory be found and read?
Settings I try:
- install.syslib.location=/webutil
- install.syslib.location=http://<server>:<port>/forms90/webutil
- install.syslib.location=http://<server>:<port>/forms90/f90servlet/webutil
- install.syslib.location=//../webutil
Besides, I check the DLLs (d2kwut60.dll, jacob.dll & JNIsharedstubs.dll under JInitiator\bin) in text editor and find that there is no 404 error. And both d2kwut60.dll & JNIsharedstubs.dll are non-readable. Does this result satisify?
What make ur code open Excel successfully while I fail to do so? How to make these downloaded DLLs workable? What are the steps I need to do in order to get no error when the form calls Webutil Ole2 functions?
Moreover I would like to know more of the configurations and settings since I still get errors even I've done all Webutil normal and additional setup steps.
I've tried to import data from Excel spreadsheet with Ole2 in 9i in client side. All my codings can be worked and also faced the problem of Excel.exe process remaining. ALso I cannot launch the excel spreadsheet by double-clicking the document in Windown NT Explorer after running this import function. Is there any solution to fix these cases?
Please please help. Thank you very much.
Steffany.

Why are you programmatically opening an Excel sheet in C# instead of using the DataFlow task with an Excel input?
Since your task is programmatically starting Excel via "new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();", it is your responsibility to stop it.

Client_ole2 EXCEL.EXE process not killed

Hi,
In a webForm, using webutil I open an Excel file with Client_ole2.
When I close Excel the underlying process is not killed; I can still see an EXCEL.EXE process in my task manager.
The consequence is that I cant open an Excel file while the above mentioned process is still running.
The EXCEL.EXE process keep on running until the local JVM shuts down.
Can anyone give some advise what to do?
Is this perhaps a known bug in webutil?
Code.
I use the following code (Extract):
elsif upper(substr(l_locatie_client,-4,4)) in ('.XLS','.CSV') then
-- open Excel
application := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ ('Excel.Application');
-- maak visible
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(application,'Visible',1);
-- open document
workbooks := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property(application, 'workbooks');
ArgList := CLIENT_OLE2.create_arglist;
CLIENT_OLE2.Add_Arg(ArgList, l_locatie_client);
workbook := CLIENT_OLE2.Invoke_obj(workbooks,'Open', Arglist);
CLIENT_OLE2.Destroy_Arglist(Arglist);
-- release objects
CLIENT_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbook);
CLIENT_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbooks);
CLIENT_OLE2.Release_Obj(Application);                         -

EXCEL.EXE process is keep running even after closing all the handles

I am using Excel Report Instrument functions for creating excel application and sheet,workbook after reading/writing in to excel file am closing all the handles using CA_DiscardObjHandle (handle);     even after file is getting closed m checking it in TaskManager then one EXCEl.EXE process is keep running there,pls let me know how to deal with this....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A Kumar:
Have you tried running the example program excelreportdemo.prj that ships with CVI? It ends the excel process by discarding multiple handles, and it works even if you're editing a cell or have an Excel dialog open, etc. Try running this without modification and verify that the excel process is closed when you quit the CVI app.
Here's the Quit function from excelreportdemo. It checks for and closes handles for the worksheet, chart, workbook, and excel application.
int CVICALLBACK Quit (int panel, int control, int event,
        void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
    switch (event)
        case EVENT_COMMIT:
            if (worksheetHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(worksheetHandle);
            if (chartHandle)
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(chartHandle);
            if (workbookHandle)
                ExcelRpt_WorkbookClose(workbookHandle, 0);
                CA_DiscardObjHandle(workbookHandle);
            if (applicationHandle)
                ExcelRpt_ApplicationQuit(applicationHandle);

Why are you programmatically opening an Excel sheet in C# instead of using the DataFlow task with an Excel input?
Since your task is programmatically starting Excel via "new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();", it is your responsibility to stop it.
Please see "Quit":

When closing Firefox (v:3.6.13), using the red "close" button, the firefox.exe process remaines at top of the "Windows Task Manager" window and continues to use the majority of CPU time.

After an attempt to close the Mozilla Firefox page, on every occasion, the firefox.exe process is found at the top of the list when ordering the listed 'processes' by CPU time... even though the web page is gone.
If an attempt is made to restart Mozilla, the system declares that the current Mozilla process should be closed.
If the firefox.exe process is explicitly closed in the Task Manager, only then can Firefox be restarted.

Does that also happen if you use File > Exit Firefox?

Firefox.exe process remains after closing Firefox

I closed Firefox 5 over 45 minutes ago. At the time it closed, I had around 60 tabs open. The Firefox window closed, but now, over 30 minutes later, firefox.exe is still consuming 624 MB of memory. For the record, currently Windows Task Manager shows firefox.exe consuming 00 CPU, 639,772 K Mem Usage and a Peak Mem Usage of 771,296 K.
I'm seen this behavior at other times and, on those occasions, the firefox.exe process did eventually terminiate and release that memory. Why does firefox.exe take so long to terminate? Is this a bug or just a result of the way I use Firefox? I do tend to have a lot of tabs, 60 to 75, open at any given time. I'm guessing that's more tabs than the typical user.

I should go on to add that I have already seen the Firefox Hangs |Hang at exit document and none of these look like the obvious issue. I'm running Java Version 1.6.0_26, so current there. I'm not running any of the listed Internet security software. The only extensions I'm running are Java Console 6.0.26, ReloadEvery 5.0.0 and Xmarks 4.0.1, so not a lot of extensions.

My Firefox.exe process remain open after I close the browser.If I open it it's says to open a new window.I need to close the process manualy(Ctrl+Alt+del).What can I do?Thanks .

Need to close the process.

It does take Firefox a while to shut down; it has to update some databases. But it should take less than a minute.
In the support article, this problem is called a "hang at exit" because Firefox hangs when shutting down. Maybe something here will help: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs#Hang_at_exit
Also, sometimes open Firefox windows disappear from the Task Bar. You can use Alt+Tab to switch to them if they remain open.

EXCEL.EXE in task manager not terminating after FREE OBJECT statement

hi,
can someone please help me find what's wrong with my codes below. my problem is that after executing the entire codes, the EXCEL.EXE remains in the task manager.
DATA: g_excel          TYPE ole2_object,
      g_workbooks      TYPE ole2_object.
Create Excel Object
    CREATE OBJECT g_excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      MESSAGE e000(z2) WITH 'No Excel Creation Possible'(lrc).
    ENDIF.

    SET PROPERTY OF g_excel 'DisplayAlerts' = 0.
Put Excel In Background
    SET PROPERTY OF g_excel 'VISIBLE' = 0.
    CALL METHOD OF g_excel 'Workbooks' = g_workbook.
    CALL METHOD OF g_workbook 'Open'
      EXPORTING #1 = p_file.
    GET PROPERTY OF g_excel 'ActiveWorkbook' = g_workbook.
Save File To PC
    CALL METHOD OF g_workbook 'SAVEAS'
      EXPORTING
      #1 = p_file
      #2 = 1.
Close The Workbook And Excel Application
    CALL METHOD OF g_workbook 'CLOSE'.
    FREE OBJECT g_workbook.
Free Objects Used
    CALL METHOD OF g_excel 'QUIT'.
    FREE OBJECT g_excel.
im guessing that the statement CALL METHOD OF g_workbook 'SAVEAS'.. has something to do with the issue because when i commented that statement, everything went fine - the EXCEL.EXE process is gone in the task manager.
appreciate any inputs..
thanks!

Hidden Instance of EXCEL.EXE will not close

Post Author: Doughboy
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Does anyone else experience this? I experience it in both Xcelsius 4.5 and 2008
When you first start working with an Excel model in your dashboard project, you can see a new process of EXCEL.EXE in your Windows Task Manager.
After I close Xcelsius, the EXCEL.EXE process does not close.
When I shut down my PC at the end of day, I get prompted by this hidden Excel to save a whole bunch of files name im0.xls, im1.xls, im2.xls, im3.xls (file names are a bit different in 2008 version). I assume the "im" stands for Infommersion, who owned Xcelsius before BusObj did.

Terminating Add-on exe Process in TaskManager

Hi,
I have developed an add-on which loads and works just fine, however when I stop the Add-on in SAP and/or shut down SAP B1, the Add-on exe process remains running in task-manager.
How do I ensure that the process terminates when I stop it or shutdown SAP ?
Also I have Used the following Code for exit the application.Still it is running :
Private Sub SBO_Application_AppEvent(ByVal EventType As SAPbouiCOM.BoAppEventTypes) Handles SBO_Application.AppEvent
        If EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoAppEventTypes.aet_CompanyChanged Or EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoAppEventTypes.aet_ShutDown Then
            System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit()
        End If
    End Sub

Hi Mohana,
Try this.
Private Sub OCT_Application_AppEvent(ByVal EventType As SAPbouiCOM.BoAppEventTypes) Handles OCT_Application.AppEvent
        Select Case EventType
            Case SAPbouiCOM.BoAppEventTypes.aet_ShutDown
                OCT_Application.SetStatusBarMessage("A Shut Down Event has been caught" & _

Two nalagent.exe processes w/ 100% cpu on App Launcher close

Hello. We are wondering if nalagent.exe is supposed to be running twice as it does not appear to be this way on all workstations. One nalagent.exe process is running under NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, and the other nalagent.exe process is running under the username.
Reason we are asking is because the one running under the username consumes 100% cpu immediately after closing the Application Launcher Window running on the desktop. Upon closing the Application Launcher, the AUTHORITY\SYSTEM nalagent.exe process closes, and the user nalagent.exe process remains and instantly spikes to 100% indefinitely (unless you kill the process in the task manager).
Using Sysinternals Process Monitor reveals that nalagent.exe is constantly scanning for the following nonexistent registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NetWare\NAL\1.0\Process Management]. These registry lookups appear to be what is causing the 100% cpu usage, but why? Creating the Process Management key does not eliminate the lookups.
This issue is possibly related to another 100% cpu bug we experienced with a "save icons" feature being stored under the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NetWare\NAL\1.0\Links] registry key. We followed the suggestion of deleting the Links key on logon in the following post and this seems to prevent nalagent.exe from automatically starting up at 100% cpu. Our current issue is only when closing the Application Launcher which starts the 100% cpu usage.
http://forums.novell.com/novell-prod...7-sp1-hp1.html
We have considered preventing the Application Launcher from being closed but there appears to be an underlying problem we would like to understand further. Thank you for any information.

Exit program, but process remains? (Thread issue?)

Hi All,
Maybe this is another Windows XP and JDK1.4 (beta3) issue...
I have a program which creates ONE background thread to access the web and obtain some data.
When I close my program, and the System.exit(0) is called, my program does not terminate. A java.exe process remains.
My question is... Do I have to do anything special to close down my thread? I had encountered this same problem with JDK1.4 and XP, but found a hack to fix it. I'm thinking maybe my program is just getting too complex to work properly with Windows XP and JDK1.4, because the "hack" or solution to the hanging process with jdk1.4 and XP is no longer working (The solution was to add JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser() to the main method).
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply, but NO, I did not start a daemon process, just simple Thread run(). I just spent the 20mins to setup my build environment to use JDK1.3.1_01, and I downloaded the XML libs that my application was using (JDK1.4 has these built in), and I compiled with JDK1.3.1, and my program did NOT leave any background tasks running. So it worked great.
I just miss the mousewheel support in JDK1.4 :(.
So apparently, it is the return of the Windows XP and JDK1.4 (beta3) problem that exists.
So, looks like I'll be using JDK1.3.1 until they fix 1.4.
Thanks

In the closure of Adobe, the process remains active and takes too much resource processor. Expected results:The process AdobRd32.exe has to be correctly closed.

In the closure of Adobe, the process remains active and takes too much resource processor.
Expected results:The process AdobRd32.exe has to be correctly closed.

I'm not sure on a Mac, but when I have this issue, I simply kill the thread (task-manager/processes/select the process, kill thread)
I have had no ill effects doing this.
It is my belief, it is the cloud, since they have a dcc connection, you can disconnect from the cloud, close everything, and the cloud is still connected to you. This is a feature of their update process I suppose.(speculation) Additionally, I remember reading somewhere this issue was due to applying administrative permission at the instigation of the installation. (which I do allow *some* trusted companies to have this so updates can be applied during my downtime. )
I have never had any overt issues after killing the thread and I have done that many times.
Hope this helps
