How to start several processes from the Windows shell and wait for them all to complete?

i found this easy solution to achieve this

main.bat

start cmd /c proc1.bat
start cmd /c proc2.bat
:wait
sleep 1
IF NOT EXIST proc1done GOTO wait
IF NOT EXIST proc2done GOTO wait
del proc1done
del proc2done
echo All processes are complete

proc1.bat

proc1.exe
echo Done > proc1done



The sleep command is available in Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools. If you don't have that, you could use a ping on localhost just to slow down that tight loop.

How to Debug C++ program running on AIX from Windows

great and easy way to debug your running c++ program on aic from windows.
here is the complete video guide.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/rtnv1r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.iea.compileraix/compileraix/10.1/Quick_Start_Guide/Launching_a_Debug_Session/player.html

the PDF doc could be found here http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/rtnv1r0/topic/com.ibm.iea.compileraix/compileraix/10.1/Quick_Start_Guide/Launching_a_Debug_Session.pdf

1. The IBM Debugger for AIX is Eclipse-based. It is based on the Client/Server architecture. The client, or the User Interface is what you interact with. It is based on Eclipse and all platforms of IBM Debugger products have a similar-looking UI. However, they talk to a different engine.  The Debug Engine controls the user’s application.  With the help of expression evaluator, it can debug C, C++,  Cobol , and PL/I programs. On ZSeries, the engine can also debug high level assembly. The UI calls the engine by establishing a TCP/IP connection to the debugger engine. Users can debug on I-series, TPF mainframe, Z-series, AIX and on Windows®.  But before you attempt to launch a debug session, make sure your program is compiled with –g option. Otherwise, no source is displayed. This presentation illustrates how to launch a debug session on Windows.         
2. There are other options that affect debugging.  -qfullpath will affect the ability of the debugger to find source files. -qlinedebug suppresses information on variables. -qtbtable can be used to suppress traceback tables. This can affect the ability of the debugger to build stack traces. -O should not be used. Debugging optimized code is possible, but the results can be misleading. Consult the your compiler documentation for more information.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
3. This presentation illustrates how to launch a debug session on Windows. On Windows, from Start->All Programs->IBM->IBM Debugger for AIX->IBM Debugger for AIX, you can launch the UI. You can also set a shortcut to the UI program and place it on your desktop and double click the icon. Once the UI is launched, there are several steps to follow in order to launch a debug session.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
4. Step 1: Select a profile location. Once the debugger is launched, you are prompted for a profile location. This is a place for breakpoint setting, view setting, and any other customization that you have done to the user interface.  You can select the check box “Use this as the default and do not ask again” to bypass this dialogue in the future.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
5. Step 2: Check the Debugger Daemon. By default, the debugger daemon is set to port 8001, you will need to know the number when launching the debug engine.  In the UI, under the debugger daemon, circled in red, there are controls that let you:  stop listening, change port, and obtain workstation IP. Information provided from these controls is necessary for step 3.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
6. Step 3: Launching the debugger engine  From a telnet/ssh session to the AIX machine where the debugger engine resides, the irmtdbgc –qhost=workstation:port a.out  command line will  launch the debugger engine. You can also attach to a running process by using the –a flag.  Note that if you use the default 8001 port,  it is not necessary to specify the port.  In the examples here, you are launching the debugger engine to connect to the host sunshine, default port 8001, to debug a program a.out, core file and attach to a process.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
7. You can also specify the default host and port with the DER_DBG_ADDR environment parameter.  For example, you can put the export statement in your profile export DER_DBG_ADDR=host:port And then launch the debugger engine in a simpler way. irmtdbgc a.out will then launch the debugger engine to connect to host sunshine, port 8001 to debug program a.out

How to Debug a Release build at C++ - VC6

follow the next steps
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291585

i have no idea where its came from the next article

Debugging in Release Mode

I've heard a myth repeated many times by my fellow VC++ developers. It is that it is not possible to debug in Release Mode. Fortunately, this is a myth.

Rule 7: When all else fails try debugging in release mode.

It is possible to debug in Release mode. The first step is to turn on symbols:

• In Project Settings (Alt-F2) under the "C++/C tab" set the category to "General" and change the Debug Info setting to "Program Database".
• Under the "Link tab" check the "Generate Debug Info" tab.
• Recompile using "Rebuild All"

This will allow you to see the symbols in the release version. You might want to also consider the following:

• You may want disable your optimization settings when debugging your release version (though this isn't absolutely necessary).
• If you have trouble placing breakpoints, the command "__asm {int 3}" will cause your program to stop at that line (be sure to remove these lines from your program when you are done debugging).

Debugging in release mode has several limitations.

• The most annoying one is that you can't easily see into MFC because you don't have the symbols included for the MFC DLL.
• You must add symbols to the release versions of all libraries and DLL's you wish to debug in your release application.

JNI - get method signature

sometimes when you mixed java and C++ code you must used JNI.
So the best way to find the method signature is via javap application that exist in JAVA jdk.

in case you want to see the method  signature to initialize your jmethodID  follow the next steps:

1. open command windows
2. navigate to your class directory (where the class file exist, e.g. c:\xxx\bin\com\)
3. run the javap.exe -c -s [class name]    ( without the .class e.g. javap -c -s myclass)

make sure your javap is in the PATH , or write the full path to it.

Connect to SQL Server from Linux via ODBC

unixODBC (it’s a driver manager) and  should be our choice , on top of it we should plug a driver and we can find the  MS-SQL driver from Microsoft.

More details about this one could be found here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh335190(v=sql.10)

From FAQ : 

The first version of the driver is a 64 bit

 This release supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 connecting to SQL Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 R2, and SQL Server 2012.

So if we are ok with the above restriction  … we can go forward with this driver.

We can Download the Microsoft ODBC for Linux from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28160

you can use Existing MSDN C++ ODBC Samples for Microsoft Linux ODBC Driver as described here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlblog/archive/2012/01/26/use-existing-msdn-c-odbc-samples-for-microsoft-linux-odbc-driver.aspx

Start / Stop Tomcat app via ant build

In this post i will try to explain how to start and stop Tomcat site from command line.

All my tests worked on Tomcat 7.0.26 , i am sure its will work on older version with minor changes.

You must set a permissions to the tomcat user you want to use, in my case i used the tomcat user.

i changed the tomcat-users.xml file as follow:
<user username="tomcat" password="xxx" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status"/>

restart Tomcat

Option 1 - via ant build file

i used the next build.xml file:

<project name="My Application" default="compile" basedir=".">

  <!-- Configure properties to access the Manager application -->
  <property name="url"      value="http://il-yanivt:8080/manager/text"/>
  <property name="username" value="tomcat"/>
  <property name="password" value="tomcat"/>

  <path id="tomcat.classpath">
<fileset dir="C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/apache-tomcat-7.0.26/lib" includes="*.jar" />
<fileset dir="C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/apache-tomcat-7.0.26/bin" includes="*.jar" />
  </path>

<taskdef name="stop" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.StopTask">
<classpath refid="tomcat.classpath" />
</taskdef>

<taskdef name="start" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.StartTask">
<classpath refid="tomcat.classpath" />
</taskdef>


<target name="stop" description="Stop web application">
<stop url="${url}" username="${username}" password="${password}" path="${site}"/>
</target>

<target name="start" description="Start web application">
<start url="${url}" username="${username}" password="${password}" path="${site}"/>
</target>

</project>


For a complete list of tomcat manager urls - visit the Manager App HOW-TO.

Open command windows  , change the directory where is your build.xml file is, and type the next command :

MySite mean your site name.

ant.bat start -Dsite=/MySite

ant.bat stop -Dsite=/MySite

Option 2  - in the next post i will explain how to do it easier with wget command.

MQ CCDT files with C++

A client channel definition table (CCDT) file contains the details of all the client-connection channels defined at the WebSphere MQ Server. It is a binary file with the name amqclchl.tab and it is created automatically by the WebSphere MQ system when you create one or more client connection channels. You can find this file on the server at this location:

On Windows
\mqm\qmgrs\\@ipcc

On UNIX systems
/var/mqm/qmgrs//@ipcc

How to work with CCDT file in C++ MQ client ?
the easiest way to test your CCDT file is via the amqsputc program that shipped with MQ installation.
set the next env params ( the mqsslkeyr is for ssl key , i used in this sample , its optional, if no ssl required):
the paths is where to find your AMQCLCHL.TAB  files ...
more about Using WebSphere MQ environment variables

(make sure the MQSERVER env param is not set)


set mqchllib=C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\MYQM\ssl\MQCLIENT
set mqchltab=AMQCLCHL.TAB
set mqsslkeyr=C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\ MYQM\ssl\MQCLIENT\key

run the next command
amqsputc   MY.Q


if all configured well you should connect to QM and put messages into yours 


How to use CCDT  with C++  ?
the idea is simple , make sure you set the env param before connecting to the QM.
avoid setting the queue name and the channel name , or any connection details.
only the Queue name is important.

putenv("mqchllib=C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\ MYQM\ssl\MQCLIENT");
putenv(" mqchltab=AMQCLCHL.TAB");
putenv("mqsslkeyr=C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Qmgrs\ MYQM\ssl\MQCLIENT\key");

ImqQueueManager mgr;
mgr.connect();

ImqQueue q1;
q1.setName("MY.Q.NAME");

q1.setConnectionReference( m_QMgr );
q1.setOpenOptions(m_lOpenQueueInFlags);
q1.open();

ASP.NET ListView with DetailsView - get the new item selected

i have a listview with datapager attach to it , and when you clikc on an item you can edit/insert/delete this item in the details view control.

my problem was , when i add new item , so its added to the end of my list , mean to the last page, so if i wanted to continue edit it or chnage it , i needed to goto last page select it and edit it... bad idea...

so here is my solution on this


        protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserted(object sender, DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs e)
        {
// get the total items
            int total = DataPager1.TotalRowCount;
// calc the last page
            int pages = total / DataPager1.PageSize;
// set the pager to the last page
            DataPager1.SetPageProperties(pages * DataPager1.PageSize, DataPager1.PageSize, true);
// bind again my listview
            ListView1.DataBind();
// select the last one
            ListView1.SelectedIndex = ListView1.Items.Count - 1;
/// boooom your new item show again in your detals view

The solution for such error was:

I changed the  $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/catalina.properties and i add db2jcc4.jar to tomcat.util.scan.DefaultJarScanner.jarsToSkip property value.
It is used to turn off classpath scanning (which is used across JavaEE 6 specs implementations).


i found the solution here

Hello, World! Web App • Tutorial: Ten Quick Steps for Deploying a Super Simple JSP Web App (WAR) on JBoss AppServer:

JVM COBOL within Apache Tomcat

After installing the micro focus product , we needed to use the Java to Cobol calls.
our java code is running within tomcat 5.5.X via JVM 5.
using microfoucus jar files is not enoght  .. i get the next error

Micro Focus COBOL Runtime Support for Java is preventing this application from executing because an internal Java property is not setup. Reason: Application should use "cobjrun" to execute this application instead of the default "java" trigger

i knew that i need to use cobjrun as my running process and not just java runtime.
based on this article Running JVM COBOL within Apache Tomcat: i started .
in the end i managed to make such call.
the only changes i needed are:

in the file setclasspath.sh .. i changed the _RUNJAVA env .
_RUNJAVA=/opt/microfocus/cobol/bin/cobjrun32

in the file catalina.sh  i add the next env settings

#yaniv add
COBDIR=/opt/microfocus/cobol/
COBJVM=sun_150
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/microfocus/cobol/lib/:/usr/java/jre/lib/sparc:/usr/java/jre/lib/sparc/client:/usr/java/jre/lib/sparc/native_threads:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Creating Top Down Web Service via Apache Axis2

This tutorial is meant to demonstrate the use of the newly introduced Axis2 Web Services tools in the Web Tools Platform Project using the WTP 2.0 drivers. Also this tutorial shows how to create a simple top-down Web service from a WSDL file and test that with the WSE (Web Service Explorer). The WSDL file in this scenario calculates the area of an rectangle and its the same WSDL that used in the Axis web services tutorials.

old ... but do the job

Setting the applicationOriginData on MQMessage

the applicationOriginData on MQMessage java class , is a great way to add some app extra info on the message.
"This is information that is defined by the application suite, and can be used to provide additional information about the origin of the message."

In addition to add such data you must open the queue with the next option:
MQC.MQPMO_SET_ALL_CONTEXT


and when put the message add the same option above  on the MQPutMessageOptions.
this is the only way i managed to add such info on the message.

SQLite with VC++

In case you are looking for sqlite3.lib , you can create it via the next command .


create lib file from def file
lib /def:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib
more details could be found in this post create-lib-file-from-dll.


check out the wrapper class i found , very easy to use and to implement CppSQLite - C++ Wrapper for SQLite.


Check out example1 in this article  Loading and Saving In-Memory Databases  we loading and saving the contents of an in-memory database to a file on disk , very common in the real world.


i extend the cppSQLite , to enable to read DB from disk into memory


void CppSQLite3DB::open(const char* szFile,BOOL inMem)
{
if(inMem)
{
open(":memory:");
loadOrSaveDb(mpDB,szFile,false);
}
else
open(szFile);
}

Start working with Celerity

How do i start
i downloaded JRUBY from  http://jruby.org/download and install it.

i opened a  command prompt - to install celerity.

D:\MyStuff\jruby\jruby-1.6.5.1\bin>jruby -S gem install celerity
Fetching: celerity-0.9.1.gem (100%)
Successfully installed celerity-0.9.1
1 gem installed

i opened the https://github.com/jarib/celerity/wiki/getting-started
i copied the example/first script into a file d:\temp\test.rb

back to the command prompt
D:\MyStuff\jruby\jruby-1.6.5.1\bin> testrb.bat D:\Temp\test.rb

looks worked to me

the second option is to run the script we mention , line by line from the command prompt ( for understanding).
in the command prompt - type irb
D:\MyStuff\jruby\jruby-1.6.5.1\bin> irb
puts "Hello world!"


now you can put each script line - and see the result of each command.


its just a starter , i am still investigating ...
use the command line tutorial ->   http://ruby.about.com/od/tutorials/a/commandline.htm
