Batch File - How to check if a program is already running and restart it

You can use this in your batch file to check if a program is already running.



@echo off
tasklist /nh /fi "imagename eq wmplayer.exe" | find /i "wmplayer.exe" >nul && (
echo Windows Media Player is running

net stop "Windows Media Player"

net start "Windows Media Player"
) || (
echo Windows Media Player is not running
)
pause>nul


This will check all instances for all users.
If the batch file keeps returning "Running" then most likely you have multiple sessions running in the background that you cannot see in your task manager.
From your command prompt, run tasklist manually to see if there are any ghost processes still running.
Once you ensure that none are running anywhere, the batch file will work correctly.

Dynamics GP - Compass Point of Sale

When you install Compass on a workstation, you do not see any of the compass menus or windows even though you have given security access to the user accounts.

Run the compass install again, but choose "remove" to remove it entirely
Run the compass install again and tick Server and Workstation. Remember to change the directory to the gp program files directory.
Complete the installation.

Everything should work fine now.

Dynamics GP - Smartfill Install

Screen sticks the first time at "initializing dynamics gp" when you run Dynamics GP after copying the files into the program files folder.

Just wait 15-20 mins, it will finish eventually, and complete the installation.

HR2NOT01 - HR Notes

Hrm_VacationRequest Table –DocumentStatus field

DocumentStatus = 1 means the request has been submitted and/or rejected.

DocumentStatus = 2 means the request has been approved.

DocumentStatus = 3 means the request has been aborted (likely due to it being rejected).

Who is leave assigned to (i.e. based on the Workflow Business Process where is it currently): DYNAMICS database – Hrm_WorkflowDocument Table

HR does not track the date the leave applications were created.
A trigger has to be created for that purpose.

HR does not track if a request has been rejected.
The information is stored in workflow tables here. I have attempted to use these tables, but the functionality is limited.
