    Hello

    Is there a bluetooth for Toshiba Bluetooth Stack command line utility, which can be used to discover bluetooth devices? Our application needs such a command line utility to enable the detection of using Toshiba Bluetooth Stack bluetooth device.

    We looked at a few line utilities Bluetooth command line tools, which all work fine with Microsoft Bluetooth Stack and control including BluetoothView. However, they did not work with Toshiba Bluetooth Stack.

    We would be very grateful if someone could share experiences or throw us some lights on it.

  • Cannot add Raw Device Mapping as hard drive

    Hello

    We have 2 Server 2008 Virtual Machines (which are clustered) that make up a Cluster 2 node x.  The ESX servers that organize these VMs (ESX Server different on each) are connected to a San.  When I place these two VMs, I could add a hard drive "Raw Device Mapping" without problem - he could see data warehouses, I had Setup on the SAN.  However when I try to add a hard drive "Raw Device Mapping" on the 2 new virtual machines, the only options I have are:

    -Create a new virtual disk

    -Use an existing virtual disk

    Any ideas why Raw Device Mappings is greyed out?

    You add the second node RDM disk by selecting "use an existing virtual disk".  The ability to add RAW devices is only available for RAW LUN which has already been mapped to a virtual machine.

    When you add the ROW to the first node, a mapping for the RDM vmdk file was created. It's that developed from the second node.

    See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004617 for more details.

  • How to upgrade an ESXi host from the command line

    Sorry for bumping an old thread. I'm new to ESXi. I'm under ESXi 5.5 build 1331820 and I am at a loss how to apply patches.

    Preferably, I would like to apply all the relevant patches through console (SSH). Can someone give me pointers how to do this? Thank you

    Moderator note (a.p.): branched to a new discussion of software patch to version 1331820?

    Welcome to the community,

    on how to patch a ESXi host from the command line, please see for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2008939

    Basically download you the latest hotfix package and install it using the command esxcli . That said, please make sure that your hardware is supported by the patch that you want to apply (see http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl). You can also do before installing the patch, is to do a "dry - run" to know what . VIBS are removed and which are installed by the patch. To do this add -dry - run to the esxcli command line.

    In the case where something goes wrong, you can revert to the previous state by pressing SHIFT-R , while the ESXi hosts begins the start-up.

    Y at - it another command which can be used?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I don't know if it will work using the in my opinion Mr. recovery console, it is not possible.
    As far as I know that you can add the user and the password using the CMD, but this might work only when the Windows operating system has been loaded.

    In this case, you can use this command to add the user account: + net user username / add +.
    If you want to add a password for the user account, then you must use this way: + net user username password / Add +.

  • App, opening a file via windows shell commands: "a device attached to the system does not work.

    Hello!

    I hope that someone here will be able to throw some lights on my question, if I post this is the wrong place please let me know because I was directed here (which forum? ). OK, I support and develop custom applications. An older application especially written in Delphi allows users to attached documents (pdf, jpg, txt, etc.) to the records of equipment in a data base. Later users can view these records of equipment and press a button to display the document.

    When the user presses the button to view the document, the application uses the folder variable to save the document to the temporary path and then asks windows via a shell command to open the file. The appeal of Delphi for windows used is the following:

    ShellExecute (GetDesktopWindow, 'open', PChar (TempFile), ",", SW_SHOWNORMAL);

    Normally this process works very well, we have had no problems so far. On a single computer (windows xp pro with Service Pack 3) belonging to a client, instead of opening the file, windows returns the system 31 error and the message ""a device attached to the system is not functioning. ". is displayed.

    * If I navigate to the location where the file is stored on the disk and try to open it, software adobe reader opens the file correctly.

    * I found some suggestions that the file extension is associated properly. PDF associated with Notepad, I changed, and the application could ask windows to open the file very well. Open the file from the location on the work of disc as well. Change the file for adobe and the problem persisted.

    * I reinstalled adobe reader software, but also a previous version of adobe and the problem persisted.

    * The application doesn't have any problem asking other files opened, only those associated with adobe reader on this same machine. The problem does not exist on other machines.

    That about sums up the problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It was determined that the version of adobe reader was at fault.

  • Outline Extractor Olap performance via command line fails


    Hello

    I want to run the extractor of Olap outline via a command line. I created a file with the GUI .properties. I can launch the GUI very well and everything works.

    Now I want to start this a scheduled task and it does not work with "the main class is not found: com.appliedolap.olapunderground.essbase.outline.extractor.ui.ExtractorFrame." Program will exit.

    The command is:

    D:\apps\olap-outline-extractor\olapunderground-outline-Extractor.cmd-PROPRIETES \\adev99\epmsess$\data\_production\otl\ACT\ACTLoadFile.properties

    The location where the Starter is on D:\Programs\Informatica

    It has to do with the java classes and the path, but I do not understand to work.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Kind regards

    Philip Hulsebosch.

    He must find olapunderground-contour - extractor.jar, which is in the same directory as the utility, what I'd like to try editing olapunderground-contour - extractor.cmd and try

    : runGui

    % _JEXEC % - jar d:\apps\olap-outline-extractor\olapunderground-outline-extractor.jar-proprietes \\adev99\epmsess$\data\_production\otl\ACT\ACTLoadFile.properties

    The rest of the java classes required seem to be in the lib directory and not the directory of classes.

    And maybe add to be sure

    Set CLASSPATH=D:\apps\olap-outline-extractor\lib;D:\apps\olap-outline-extractor\classes;%CLASSPATH%

    or just start in the right directory

  • Java ME 8 b54: impossible to deploy MidLets on RaPi via command line

    Hello!

    I'm trying to deploy a moped to demo on my Raspberry PI for awhile, always running into the same error.

    Everything works fine via Netbeans (RaPi connected in DeviceManager, deployment through 'Run').

    No matter if I try to install directly from the LPR (installMidlet.sh) or remotely (DeveloperAgent, usertest.sh $ ams-install), I always get the same answer:

    Can someone explain the difference between the behavior of the command line and NetBeans? I tried on Windows and MAC, no difference.

    Anyone who manages to run an installation without NetBeans?

    Thank you very much

    Andi

    Hey Andi,

    Sorry, it's called problem. To make the things work on this binary install you .jad .jar directly not through the file. (i.e.:./installMidlet.sh /home/pi/midlets/app1.jad). Please note that the MIDlet-Jar-URL in the file .jad should point to .jar, such that he's seen raspberry pi (that is, you can use the local path if you use installMidlet.sh or put the .jar file in the local file system and using an absolute path in the MIDlet-Jar-URL when installing the Agent developer console). Also you can use the hostdownload to install-ams command parameter. In this case the MIDlet-Jar-URL must use host paths because the .jar is downloaded by Developer Agent in this case

    The problem is resolved and you should be able to use .jar installation once next developer version published on OTN

    Kind regards

    Andrey
