Download Batch Start Up PATCHED
Sumiko Fagnoni
The problem is that when I run the batch file, the DOS window stays up until the command completes and I would like it to go away. So I tried using the start command, but placing it in front, like this:
In a batch script, a START command without /wait will run the program and just continue, so a script containing nothing but a START command will close the CMD console and leave the new program running.
The above will start the calculator and wait before continuing. However if you replace calc.exe with Winword.exe, to run Word instead, then the /wait will stop working, this is because Winword.exe is a stub which launches the main Word application and then exits.
A similar problem will occur when starting a batch file, by default START will run the equivalent of CMD /K which opens a second command window and leaves it open. In most cases you will want the batch script to complete and then just close it's CMD console to resume the initial batch script. This can be done by explicitly running CMD /C ...
Starting a new process with CALL, will run in the same shell environment as the calling script. For a GUI application this makes no difference, but a second 'called' batch file will be able to change variables and pass those changes back to the caller.
In comparison START will instantiate a new CMD.exe shell for the called batch. This will inherit variables from the calling shell, but any variable changes will be discarded when the second script ends.
When a file that contains a .exe header, is invoked from a CMD prompt or batch file (with or without START), it will be opened as an executable file. The filename extension does not have to be .EXE. The file header of executable files start with the 'magic sequence' of ASCII characters 'MZ' (0x4D, 0x5A) The 'MZ' being the initials of Mark Zibowski, a Microsoft employee at the time the file format was designed.
If the command is successfully started ERRORLEVEL =unchanged, typically this will be 0 but if a previous command set an errorlevel, that will be preserved (this is a bug).
If the command fails to start then ERRORLEVEL = 9059
START /WAIT batch_file - will return the ERRORLEVEL specified by EXIT
start searches for a specified executable file, and if found, the executable launches regardless of the current working directory. When searching for an executable file, if there's no match on any extension, start checks to see if the name matches a directory name. If it does, start opens Explorer.exe on that path.
Far from being exhasuitve (batch file can also doing much more things, like clearing cache, perform automatic copy of config.pro or even creo_parametric_customization.ui files BEFORE startup of Creo Parametric application), but hope this gives already a good starting point for the configuration you would like to implement in your Department.
Hi guys I've recently started a new job and taken on some responsibilities I have limited knowledge in. One of these is for our AWS Batch jobs which use container services for copying data between buckets. Most of the time these batch jobs work but every now and then they throw an error. These are the typical error messages:
Can't quite see how sample start is relevant for a piano instrument, but you can adjust it for any number of samples by highlighting them in the mapping editor (lasso them) and, in the wave editor, gear wheel/to all selected zones/copy current sample-start settings.
The original samples were recorded at 96k and I'd like to have a 48k version. As downsampling reduces the amount of samples in each sample, the previously correct sample start time is now way ahead of what it should be.
The question is, is there a way to automatically set every individual sample start of each sample to half of what it currently is, instead of manually shifting it sample by sample inside this instrument?
Don't know anything about Creator Tools, but Goldwave will allow you to batch Trim Leading Silence. You can leave a timed bit of silence at the beginning if you want to. You could then set one zone's sample-start and use gearwheel/to all selected zones/copy current sample-start setting.

I started a batch job using tctl batch start. The job should terminate a workflow with a specific workflowId, just for testing before doing a much bigger batch. But the job just sits idle running.
If I have a large number of business objects (same business key) that all should start the same process with the same variables, is it possible to call some batch endpoint in the REST API for that, or do I need to call the endpoint ( /process-definition/id/start) several times?
This is interesting, but I would prefer that this would be possible without having to write a workflow that supports this explicitly. I was just hoping for another endpoint that would take a list of business keys instead of just one to start several identical (except for the business key) processes.
On request the system batch assigns selected business objects (usually samples in a laboratory) to a selected workflow. It will probably not be an issue to do this in several calls to the API, but it would be both cleaner and faster to do it in a batch.
If you want to stay with batch, there isn't a way to hide the batch file. You would have to call a batch file that minimized another batch file running. It's kind of a chicken and egg scenario. Once you're in the batch file, you could use the /MIN on the start command, but you can't do that until you're actually in a batch file.
The service creates and prepares dedicated VMs for each job and the process typically takes 2 mins before job RUNNING state. Is this consistent with what you have observed? That is the current behavior and it is not ideal for short duration jobs. We are looking at multiple ways to improve the job start up time.
Thanks @bolianyin for clarification.
This is what I observe.
I understand it is not designed for short duration jobs, but it would be very powerful (specially when combined with workflows) to have a shorter startup.
Tried to replicate behaviour with Cloud Run Jobs buts is not the same at all
The List Filter identifies the set of Workflow Executions to be affected by the batch job.The tctl batch start command shows you how many Workflow Executions will be affected by the batch job and asks you to confirm before proceeding.
Like most Spring Getting Started guides, you can start from scratch and complete each step or you can bypass basic setup steps that are already familiar to you. Either way, you end up with working code.
A common paradigm in batch processing is to ingest data, transform it, and then pipe it out somewhere else. Here, you need to write a simple transformer that converts the names to uppercase. The following listing (from src/main/java/com/example/batchprocessing/PersonItemProcessor.java) shows how to do so:
To configure your job, you must first create a Spring @Configuration class like the following example in src/main/java/com/example/batchprocessing/BatchConfiguration.java. This example uses a memory-based database, meaning that, when it is done, the data is gone. Now add the following beans to your BatchConfiguration class to define a reader, a processor, and a writer:
The last bit of batch configuration is a way to get notified when the job completes. The following example (from src/main/java/com/example/batchprocessing/JobCompletionNotificationListener.java) shows such a class:
Although batch processing can be embedded in web apps and WAR files, the simpler approach demonstrated below creates a standalone application. You package everything in a single, executable JAR file, driven by a good old Java main() method.
The Spring Initializr created an application class for you. For this simple example, it works without further modification. The following listing (from src/main/java/com/example/batchprocessing/BatchProcessingApplication.java) shows the application class:
@EnableAutoConfiguration: Tells Spring Boot to start adding beans based on classpath settings, other beans, and various property settings. For example, if spring-webmvc is on the classpath, this annotation flags the application as a web application and activates key behaviors, such as setting up a DispatcherServlet.
Step 1 - Create a batch file that creates a folder on a users desktop, then moves certain desktop shortcuts into that folder.
*This was relatively straight forward, and is setup and tested successfully
When I run the batch file from an admin account it completes successfully, so I've confirmed the script functions more or less properly. However if I try to run the batch file from a non-admin account it returns 'Access Denied' errors for both of those commands. I am running both processes via a software we use by Quest called Desktop Authority that runs when a user logs in, and have checked 'Run as Administrator' for that Desktop Authority object, but it still does not process either command.
Any ideas on how I can get that batch file to run when a non-admin user logs into their account? Is it possible to create a folder under the %USER PROFILE%...\Start Menu\Programs location instead that will show in the Start Menu? I realize this would bypass the permissions issue, but I tried doing this and the folder it created did not show in the start menu as I had hoped.
It successfully created the "New Folder" in the start menu, so it does appear removing the %USERPROFILE% portion of the command allowed it to run with admin privileges. However, that folder in the start menu is empty. I tried manually running the batch file to see what command prompt would show; rather than an 'access denied' message it says
"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. 0 file(s) copied"
