I am following networking tutorial series and I need to run both Server and Client projects. When I click ServerProject->Debug->Start New Instance everything is fine, but the option becomes unavailable for ClientProject while Server is running. How can I enable this option and run them both? There is also a third project with winsock stuff set as Startup Project and both Server and Client depend on it.

I am performing some UI Automation on GCP using a Windows Server.
The process is as follows:
=> Machine Switches on at a defined time
=> RDP Connection to Machine
=> UI Interaction Script Runs on Startup
=> Process Ends
=> Machine Switches off at a defined time
All the components have been fulfilled except for automating the RDP connection in some way or other. I referred to this link but didn't find much insights or documentations.
Does anyone know a way to Automate an RDP connection right after instance turns on in GCP?
There is a windows application called IAP Desktop, using that you can manage multiple remote Desktop connection to Windows VM. While connecting to the VM you can save the credentials which will allow you to access the Windows VM using RDP just after boot on.
Also to automate the Windows password generation here is the documentation related to 1, inside of that document there are both options available automate or manually.
How are you deploying your startup script?
During the boot sequence, a script will either run before, after or during the boot process. By declaring Windows-specific metadata keys, you can run startup scripts after the instance turns on.
If that doesn't work, there is a paid Cloud Automation service that sounds like it will meet your requirements.
Tried using startup-scripts but no luck IAP Desktop didn't work due to scheduling as well. Finally Managed to solve it via using Windows 10 Auto login settings. This skips login screen and the best part was that out of all the users, it allows you to login via user of your choice. After I Login to the system, I added a startup a bat file by running shell:startup and it worked great.
I have a ColdFusion11 environment with two app servers defined. The default cfusion server was created with a Windows system service wrapper to go along with it; the second app server, for some reason, was not.
The SC tool was later used to create a Windows service wrapper for the second app server; however, when the 2nd app server is controlled within the cfusion Enterprise Manager instance, it does not use the Windows Service wrapper to control it. Is there a configuration file I can amend that will instruct CF to invoke the Windows service wrapper to control this second service? This is particularly important as this 2nd server instance has a logon identity that must be used at startup, but if the server is restarted within the CF console, the identity is obviously not used.
In effect, I need to tell the cfusion enterprise manager to use the Windows service wrapper to control the 2nd app server instance, not to just control it directly. I'm assuming there is a configuration setting buried deep within the bowels of CF that would allow me to specify this.
I've tried searching the XML configuration files, looking for a non-obvious setting within them that might point to a startup configuration parameter, but so far have found nothing. Something must control how a secondary app server is managed, so I thought I'd ask here for some insight.
For the sake of anyone else who might encounter this situation, I've discovered the answer. It has nothing to do with changing the configuration of the application server itself.
When the ColdFusion11 administrator console is told to start an instance of another application server within the Enterprise Manager, it first queries the Windows Service Control database for a defined service of the exact name "ColdFusion 11 Application Server [AppServerName]" (without the brackets). If it finds such a service, CF automatically invokes the service wrapper and starts it. Absent that, a direct invocation of the CF instance commences.
The solution to the issue for an app server created without a Windows service wrapper is, when the 'sc' utility is invoked to create the service, to provide a service name that exactly matches the format above.
For the development of my own sonar plugin i want to be able to debug.
after quite a while I found out how to run the sonarqube server in debug mode. Therefore I followed the instruction of the following website. enter link description here
When I started the server in debug modus an connect eclipse by using the debug configuration, the server starts but it do not not stop at the breakpoints that I have been set. I have set breakpoints to extension point (classes) like the one which extends the SonarPlugin class or the one which extends the RuleRepository class. The logs of these classes are part of the server log file, so I'm pretty sure that this classes are executed. Nevertheless it doesn't stop at the breakpoints.
Anyone ideas whats the problem?
The server runs as three process - a parent application, the web server and a search server. Plugins are loaded into the web server so you need to start this with debug arguments. The options for this seem to have changed and are not yet reflected in the documentation. To debug the web server put:
sonar.web.javaAdditionalOpts=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,suspend=y,server=y,address=9001
into your sonar.peroperties file and start sonar using the StartSonar script. This will launch all three applications, but with the web server suspended. Attach your debugger to port 9001 and you should find your plugin main class and rules definition breakpoints are hit.
I need to remotely debug a Java EE application running on a WebLogic 10.3.5 cluster. It is important that I debug it whilst clustered, not running on a single box.
I have read docs that state you can either modify the Java Options in the start script or the debug flag in the domain config, however what I do not understand is how you know which server to connect to when clustered.
My cluster is configured for round robin load balancing so I have no way of knowing which server to connect my debugger to.
Is it possible to connect the remote debugger to the cluster rather than a single server?
It would seem there's no domain or cluster level connection available. One must open a new debugger connection to each server.
It just wasn't obvious in my IDE that clicking debug more than once would open multiple debugger connections.
You could try something like this,
Create Debug configuration with Host and Port number of the Admin Server which manages the cluster servers.
Try debug on admin server.
I have a project that is being built using CruiseControl.NET. The project contains an 'MSBuild task' that runs the build for the project and also the unit tests. The unit test in turn is just a MSBuild 'exec' task that runs an executable.
The unit test involves some .NET remoting. And when the unit tests are run through the system command prompt, the software's window opens up, tests run and the process exits.
When I force a build through the web dashboard, the build hangs at the point where the unit test starts running. The software's window does not open up, but the executable is running. If the process is killed through the task explorer, the build goes through with a 'Failure' status. This happens when I run ccnet as a windows service.
If I run CCNet directly (not as a windows service) and force a build through the web dashboard, the build and unit tests go through fine as expected. (with the window of the software opening up.)
It looks like there is a deadlock in the case where CCNet is run as a windows service. I am guessing it is related to the standard output/error streams.
Is this is known problem?
What might be the problem going on?
Any suggestions on debugging this?
How can I get around it?
(I am using CCNet version 1.4.4 SP1)
When CCNet is running as a service it is not going to have access to the display, so don't expect to see anything on the screen in this configuration. The first thing I would check is the permissions - make sure the service runs as an account that has permissions to access whatever resources you need. You also have CCNet log files, which you can find via Dashboard.
On a side note, try TeamCity instead of CCNet, its 10 years ahead.
Maybe this answer will help :
delphi windows service can't download file from internet
You should know that when running CCNet as an application (the dosbox) it uses the environment variables and all rights from the logged account. So it may connect to a server, use cached passwords, get registry variables for this account.
BUT when ran as a service, the account is the one you provided : LocalSystem for exampe, where env. varibales are not the same.
So, what you can do is to change the CCNet service account for test. Change it to your user account (with password), and I'm sure it will work better !
