Webutil - get client info

I have a problem, I'd like to gather client info and present that info as my forms application loads but unfortunatley I can't seem to get it to works. I can create a button and place code behind it and gather information that way so I'm confident that my set-up of webutil is ok.
any ideas?

I think its going to be impossible to help you since you make no mention of any symptoms of how this is not working, no error messages, no sample code.
Try the webutil demo and see if that works - that has code for calling the client info webutil code.

User Exit in 10g - To get client info

Hi all
We have a user exit call in forms 4.5 which returns client info (OS version).
As we are going for 10g, the user exits will reside in AS.
Is there any way by which i can use the same user exit to get client info now ?
Thnx and Regards
Sriram

in the old days of forms 6i we created tons of java-applets for host-commands and so on.
with the first version of webutil all the applets we created ourself were gone, because all functions were in the webutil-toolset.
You can use it beginning with forms 9i. It's very good and easy to use. Look in OTN where the developer-downloads are

How to get client info

Hi guys,
I am building a client server JSF web application.
How to retrieve details of client machine (e.g Lan ID) on the server side when client send a request to open a web page.
Thanks.

Hi Raymond,
Thanks for the reply.
I've tried in a simple servlet as following.
req.getRemoteUser() returns null
req.getRemoteAddr() returns proxy ip address.
I still can't get the LAN ID of the client who send the request.
Please help.
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class Remote extends HttpServlet{
 public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
 throws ServletException, IOException{
 res.setContentType("text/html");
 PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
 String rmtName = req.getRemoteUser();
 String rmtAddr = req.getRemoteAddr();
 out.println("<html>");
 out.println("<head></head>");
 out.println("<body>"+ rmtName + " ," + rmtAddr + "</body>");
 out.println("</html>");
 public void doPost (HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)

How to get client machine name and IP address

Hi,
In my office I have one SERVER which has FORMS & Report Server installed and all the clients are accessing that application thru the following URL :
http://OraServer:8889/forms/frmservlet
to get the machine name I have read into a global variable like this
SELECT USERENV('TERMINAL' ) into :global.clientname FROM DUAL;
but obviously all the time its returning the SERVER machine name...not the name where client is accessing the program....so how can I get the client machine name..
thanks

Hi Frank,
Well I am using Developer Suite 10g Release (10.1.2.0.2) ..I've gone thru the link what you have sent me and noticed that whatever updations of conf file or classpath its already there so i guess needn't to modify cause I think my release 10.1.2.0.2 has did already as webutils been bundled with it.
Well What i did is to double click on ATTACH LIBRARY and browse the location to find webutil.pll and finally attached it...even though its showing me all the procedures like clientinfo and others...
on my block's canvas I've put a button and used this trigger to get client info function like this.
when-button-pressed trigger of INFOBUTTON
DECLARE
o_clientinfo varchar2(50) := Webutil_clientinfo.GET_HOST_NAME ;
begin
message(o_clientinfo);
end;
but when I am trying to open this form its simply not showing up..strange thing is that there is no error as well...so plz kindly guide me how to get clientinfo hostname or ipaddress using that library function.
thanks

Get client ip in web reports 9i

Hi
we are using oracle 9i reports.
we want to get client's ip address when running web reports.
We are having forms which gets the ip address using
webutil but the same functionality is not available
in web reports.
How can this we get the client's ip address
when using web reports?

Hi,
From WebUtil documentation:
WebUtil is primarily focused at solving the more common challenges faced by Forms developers whowish to build applications which integrate tightly with the "Client Browser" machine - the machine that the end user is actually sitting at.
Traditionally Forms has provided the means of integration with the machine that the Forms executable is running on, but in the Web-deployed scenario this can be remote from end users and may even be a different operating system from the systems that are being used to host the applicationâs user interface. WebUtil gives Forms developers the means to interact with the client browser machines with PL/SQL, without having to learn any new technology.
As far as I know, Oracle Reports has never provided this functionality. In fact, there hasn't been much stress on interacting with the client machine. And thus there is no direct functionality in 9i as well, to get client machine information.
If you are running your reports from Forms, you can get the client's IP address in the Form and populate it in a temporary table in the DB, from where Reports can then pick it up.

Need help finding the FP Get Configuration Info.vi in Labview 8.5

I have had a problem with a program that I have put together to run a fieldpoint system. The program works fine on the development computer but as soon as I install it on a client pc i have problems with the program not linking to the .iak file.
I have contacted NI and an engineer has said to me that I should include a ' FP Get Configuration Info.vi ' at the begining of my program and that should solve the problem.
I am using Labview 8.5 and am unable to find the vi.
Can anyone help and tell me where I can find the vi.
Thanks

Don't have 8.5 loaded right now. Shows up in LV8.2 & LV8.6 on palettes under Measurment I/O>Fieldpoint>Advanced. I'll assume that you have used the search function on the Functions palette.
Have attached copy of LV8.2 vi for you to try.

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) but I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) after following the link at the bottom of a marketing e-mail from Apple.
Unfortunately I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

The e-mail checks out as having come from an IP address registered to Apple.
Received-SPF: pass (mxeu0: domain of insideapple.apple.com designates 17.254.6.124 as permitted sender) client-ip=17.254.6.124; envelope-from=[email protected]; helo=msbadger0204.apple.com;
The sender address wasn't spoofed and all the links in the mail lead to legitimate apple web sites. (It was an advert for a MacBook Air christmas special). There was a link at the bottom of the e-mail which takes me to the Apple 'manage your e-mails' page.
List-Unsubscribe: <http://mynews.apple.com/subscriptions?v=2&la=de_de&.....
On this page there are check boxes for the various Apple news and iTunes marketing e-mails, and the option to change my e-mail address. The boxes are not checked but I still get marketing e-mails.

OS Deployment - Failed to get client identity 80004005

Hello all,
Hopefully someone will have a solution to this issue. I've only found one site with a similar problem (http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2352753&SiteID=17) and the solution was to rebuild the SCCM server, which I have done. Yet the issue persists. After working my way through countless issues with SCCM, this seems to be the only obstacle in my way. Here is the situation:
1. I boot the bare metal client system to PXE and the boot image loads
2. The SCCM status messages appear "Windows is starting up..." and then "Preparing Network Connections..."
3. The client machine hangs for a minute or so, then reboots.
I have enabled the command prompt shell in the boot image and can ping the SCCM server and name resolution work fine, so I know it isn't an issue with the network drivers. Below is the log information from the client. Just as an FYI, the Server is running in "Mixed Mode", so I'm not really understanding the why the identification is an issue. As best I can understand the client is requesting information from the server at a certain point and getting a blank reply.

I'm at my wits end with this software, if I can't find a solution to this problem pretty soon, I will tell management here to can the whole idea and stick with the norton ghost setup.

i had this problem today on a virtual lab ive got setup here (windows 2008 server, with sccm 2007sp1 deploying windows server..)
i had to rewrite my task sequence as it was giving me problems - (configuring ADDS) and after going through all the steps I tried yet another pxe boot and it failed, this time with the pxe error Failed to get client identity 80004005 in the SMSTSlog
I checked this log against a know good one from earlier on the same server and indeed the time/date are processed shortly after words, however i pxe booted again and verified time/date on the virtual pc and they were absolutely correct
I tried this and that for 2 hours with no positive result, lastly i rebooted the server and lo and behold the pxe error was gone.
I agree that we need a decent troubleshooting option from Microsoft about this as the documentation appears to be whatever is here or on other forums and in a lot of cases there are no solutions
does changing a task sequence somehow reprogram the PXE setup for WDS/sccm ? I have another server (real) beside me that now wont process PXE boot requests anymore even though it was working fine !
PXE-E51: no DHCP or proxyDHCP offeres were received....
no switch just a crossover network cable between server and client, client was successfully deployed hours before with windows server 2008 via sccm via pxe boot.....
tried all the usual, not much hair left now....
found this site http://susanaguedes.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!830A1768E1B27E94!350.entry
PXE-E51: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received
The PC cannot contact the DHCP server. Possible causes (see ref [19]):
There is a problem with the DHCP server
The network card or PXE boot portion of the network card is faulty
The network cable is faulty
tested the client PXE boot to another server, worked fine using same network card and cable
the DHCP server on the server reports no problems and has worked fine since I set it up some months ago, indeed if i boot the client into windows server it will get an ip no problem from the dhcp server
so what is wrong here ? how can WDS/ SCCM pxe boot functionality turn itself on or off at will with no user intervention ???
restarted the server 3 times, no difference, restarted WDS many times, no difference, restarted DHCP server service and now I get
PXE-E55: proxyDHCP service did not reply to the request on port 4011
As slightly less common one, with various causes (see ref [19]). Usually the PC has successfully contacted the DHCP server and the PC will even report its DHCP assigned IP address along with the error, but the RIS process could not continue for some reason.
restarted the WDS service and it booted in Windows PE via pxe finally after hours of repetive tasks, only to bring me back to square one with the Windows PE rebooting itself immediatly after loading network support,
ok, back to troubleshooting....

Get client information

Hello...
I want to write servlet which get client information
IP,OS,DATE,TIME,BROWSER,SCREEN SIZE, COUNTRY and send all information
on server.
If source code possible plzzz give me..
thankx in advance...

If you write a HttpServlet (just subclass it) you have the request as a HttpServletRequest. From this object you can get information such a browser etc. Try (inside your servlet code):
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println("<HTML><BODY>");
out.println("<H1>Client information</H1>");
out.println("Client address: " + req.getRemoteAddr() + " ");
out.println("Client host: " + req.getRemoteHost() + " ");
out.println("Client user: " + req.getRemoteUser() + " ");
out.println("Server name: " + req.getServerName() + " ");
out.println("Server port: " + req.getServerPort() + " ");
out.println("Requested URL: " + req.getRequestURL().toString() + " ");
out.println("Path info: " + req.getPathInfo() + " ");
out.println("Method: " + req.getMethod() + " ");
out.println("Protocol: " + req.getProtocol() + " ");
out.println("Query string: " + req.getQueryString() + " ");
out.println("Session ID: " + req.getRequestedSessionId() + " ");
out.println("Valid session: " + req.isRequestedSessionIdValid() + " ");
out.println("Secure connection: " + req.isSecure() + " ");
out.println("Authentication type: " + req.getAuthType() + " ");
out.println("Character encoding: " + req.getCharacterEncoding() + " ");
out.println("Content length: " + req.getContentLength() + " ");
out.println("Content type: " + req.getContentType() + " ");
out.println("Context path: " + req.getContextPath() + " ");
out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
Where req and res are the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse objects passed to your servlet with doGet() or doPost().
If if doesn't work out for you - give me you e-mail and I'll send over a complete example. Please notice that screen resolution etc. isn't available in the request object. For that you need to get them with for example JavaScript and then send then as parameters to the servlet.
Good luck!

In general, since Java is designed to run on multiple operating systems and machine architectures it does not provide much access to the underlying hardware. As mentioned, you can access the os via methods in the java.lang.ProcessBuilder and Runtime classes.

Is there a way to get client hardware details like Processor Speed & amount of RAM using action script (Based on Flex AIR application). Are there any new classes included in Flex SDK 4.0 for this purpose ?
Please help .....

The Capabilities class is the primary way to get info on the system, but the second link below may have additional information:

Any clues as to how I can get this happening, and sync all my data that I can sync to my iPhone ? I don't seem to be getting all the faclilities I am suppopsed to ... most frustrating.

With Mavericks you won't get the Info tab, you use iCloud to sync contacts - from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117 :
If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.
