Unless that other application has an API that you can access, you can't make it save itself - it is a separate program.

Please explain in detail what exactly you are trying to accomplish, and we can be of better assistance.

And I'm repeating my answer. I have already stated that you cannot do that with Java unless the application has a public API that allows you to make such calls like "save". Java can't just make other programs that are running do things arbitrarily.

If you have further questions, make the effort to actually write them in English instead of "text-speak" abbreviations if you want an answer. If you can't take time to write a question properly then you shouldn't expect others to take the time to respond.
