Flyway migrate doens't run in AWS EC2 userdata powershell script - powershell

I have placed flyway migrate command in a powershell script as I want it to run automated once i create an EC2 windows box. Powershell runs the "flyway migrate" command, but actually flyway isn’t executing anything. And I’ve proven this by outputting a file when the flyway migrate function was executed. See attached the NoOutput png.

Then If I manually execute the command, it works as expected. What am I doing wrong? What can be the cause of not running from powershell? I don't think it is powershell to be blaimed for. And if it is, what syntax should i use? I am actually thinking of creating an .exe file with the flyway.cmd migrate :)))--bit of over thinking i guess.

Try running flyway as follows:
&$FlywayDir\flyway.cmd | Out-File C:\filename.txt
The ampersand (the 'and' sign) here tells PowerShell to execute that command, instead of treating it as a cmdlet or a string.

Load script command on windows not working

Trying to run an orientdb script from the command line using:
console.bat then the script name e.g. console.bat myscript.osql.
When I run the command I get an error
!Unrecognized command: '?select from TestClass' (TestClass isnt the real class but it will do).
If I run the commands manually on the console they work as I would expect.
I am on windows 10 creators edition, orientdb 2.2.30.
Assuming you're connected to your database and your script is in the same directory as console.bat (bin), you should execute LOAD SCRIPT myscript.osql to properly load it.
See LOAD SCRIPT from the docs.

PostgreSQL copy 0?

I have written a simple batch script which loops a directory and echoes some details about each file.When I view its results in the CMD terminal or output it to some file, I can view the results as expected.
The problem comes with PostgreSQL: when I try to import its results into a table, executing the following command:
copy schema.table(field) from program 'C:\\...\\my_bat.bat' with CSV header delimiter E'\t';
It imports 0 results, whereas if I run the same command pointing to a similar batch file in another directory, it works as expected.
What's going on? I am using windows.
Update: I have tried running the copy command calling program again on another batch script and this time, only a part of the string output is being imported.
The service user postgres needs sufficient permissions to run the program.
I remember that it was hard to change settings for that account on windows XP, I have not tried on more recent windows - service users are hidden by most GUI tools.

How to run Powershell file (having extension .ps1) using jmeter?

I want to execute .ps1 file in jmeter. I have pass the parameter as in image,but in output facing errors.The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Though the filename, directory name are correct.
Here is your problem:
Remove that quotation mark and everything should start working as expected
In general, you are making things overcomplicated.
Why do you need these cmd /c? Why just don't call powershell directly?
Normally powershell is in Windows PATH, there is no need to provide full path to it
So configure your OS Process Sampler as:
Command: powershell
Parameter: D:\Software\apache=jmeter-3.0\apache-jmeter-3.0\bin\TIP.ps1
See How to Run External Commands and Programs Locally and Remotely from JMeter article for more information on invoking 3rd-party processes from your JMeter test.
I know this is an old thread but since the response was not correct for me I found the solution to be this:
Using the OS Process Sampler you need to add as command powershell.exe and as variables exactly the following:
-executionpolicy
bypass
-file
fullpathToYourScript.ps1
This worked perfectly fine for me.

PowerShell script called from within the Jenkins PowerShell build step hangs indefinitely

I have a Jenkins (1.493) project that uses the Jenkins PowerShell build step to execute a PowerShell script. Inside that script I want to invoke another script that is stored inside a file. I have now reduced it to the following:
Script inside Jenkins PowerShell build step:
& "\\stemmer.local\sidevelopment\cvdev\devbase\jenkins\PowerShell\Test.ps1"
Content of Test.ps1:
write-host 'Hello world!'
Whenever this Jenkins project executes, the PowerShell build step hangs indefinitely.
Things I have tried/verified so far:
Adding some output before the invocation of Test.ps1 shows me that the Jenkins PowerShell script is being execute normally up to the point where Test.ps1 is called.
The file Test.ps1 exists and is reachable from the build slave that executes the script. If I alter the file's name, I get the expected error message from PowerShell...
Exchanging the " for ' in the 1st script does not change anything. Also, using dot-sourcing rather than & does not help.
The file Test.ps1 can be executed properly from the powershell itself using the same command line that is being used in the Jenkins PowerShell script.
The execution policy for PowerShell has been set to unrestricted on my development host as well as on the Jenkins build slave.
I've tried replacing the PowerShell build step with a Windows batch command build step that looks like this:powershell.exe -InputFormat None -File "\\stemmer.local\sidevelopment\cvdev\devbase\jenkins\PowerShell\Test.ps1"and played around a little with the parameters of powershell.exe, but the results were - in those cases that were syntactically and otherwise correct as far as I can tell - always the same.
I only found few references to problems that sounded similar, but none of the approaches mentioned elsewhere did help me fix this. I am absolutely puzzled, and wondering whether someone encountered this issue before (and maybe even got a scenario like the one I have in mind running).
Thanks a lot for any input!

have you tried to set execution policy to bypass ?
Copy the script file locally, then invoke it from within the Jenkins PowerShell plugin - that way it works as expected.

Azure startup task, wait for all other task to finish

I have a startup task for my webrole that download some executable file from a blob and then proceed to the installation.
From a .cmd file, I start a power shell script that download the files, then I start the file from the .cmd.
The script works fine if I run it manually through RDP after the publishing is done.
But, when running as startup script, it sometimes (often) fail at different points.
The taskType is set to background.
Last time, the error was that the command PowerShell does not exists...
Also, I use powershell -command set-executionpolicy unrestricted before running my PS script, but I read here that other task may reset this setting and make mine fail.
Quite a mess.
So that makes me think that if I could wait for all other task to perform before starting mine, it would eliminate these kinds of problems
I suppose I could check if some process is running and wait for it to finish, but I have no clue wich process to check.
Or maybe there's another solution.
~edit~
I read here that the error about powershell not existing may be caused by the batch file being saved as UTF-8 in visual studio. I re-writed it from scratch in notepad++ and made sure it is save as ANSI. Then, same error. The full message is :
'PowerShell' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Again, the script run perfectly from command line in remote desktop.
It would be possible to set an environment variable at the end of the script that is required to finish, then in the script which is awaiting the dependencies, loop until the environment variable is set, then kick off its activities.
You could also run everything from a single powershell script and use the '-asjob' switch on your installer statement, use the 'wait-job' cmdlet to block until the task is complete then carry on. Powershell also offers a '?!' operator which ensures the last statement executed properly.
This might be caused by an encoding issue. As mentioned in this answer you should save your file in ASCII to ensure correct interpretation of your script.
From the linked answer:
Open your whatever.cmd file with your VS 2012 Ultimate. Click on File->Save whatever.cmd as -> on the dialog there is little arrow next to the [save] button. It will show up a menu that will have the option Save with Encoding.
Select it. Now choose "US-ASCII Codepage 20127" from the list of available encodings.
