How can I use unix commands from oracle report

I have to use the following command from oracle reports.
In oracle forms we can use the HOST command but what about oracle reports2.5.
I have to email the attached file 100245.pdf from oracle reports to the given email id
uuencode 100245.pdf 100245.pdf | mailx -s "test" [email protected]

Hi,
It's because .bat (or .cmd) files are scripts and not executables and are interpreted using the command line executable - which is normally cmd.exe (although you can buy others).
So you need to call cmd.exe passing the bat file name as a parameter, something like
cmd.exe /c batchfilename
Without the /c you will never get a response.
However, this brings us to the bizarre conclusion that you are going to:
call cmd.exe (a shell interpreter)
to launch a batch file
that calls cygwin (another shell interpreter)
which then runs ls
When shouldn't that just be:
call cmd.exe to run the dir command
Or better yet, If you are just after a file name listing and you seem to understand Java stored procs, why not just write a JSP to list the contents of a directory? No problems with OS dependant commands, scripts and 3rd party interpreters. Plenty of examples of that out on the internet as well.

  • How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

    I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
    Thanks,

    Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
    1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
    .... destype=file desformat=pdf desname=<filename>
    in command line
    Please refer docs below.
    2) If by your question you mean
    "My reports server is running in Windows but I want to ftp my files to Unix after creating it"
    then the answer is that you can use pluggable destination "ftp"
    .... destype=ftp desformat=pdf desname=<ftp url>
    Pluggable destinations download

  • How can i run unix script from my apex page

    how can i run unix script from my apex page and take the output of unix script as a hidden variable and display it on the report region of that page

    I had a requirement to run a Fortran program against some data that woudl be extracted from the database after the user set up their filtering criteria and made some additional input. SInce the program was to complex to conver to PL/SQL, we decided to try and invoke it from Apex. This is how I did it.
    1. I followed the steps in Tim Archer's excellent article "Oracle External Procedure to Run Host Commands" (http://www.timarcher.com/?q=node/9). If the link does nto work, google the article's title.
    Using this steps I created a function which accepts any OS command, including calling my own shell scripts, and runs them. I called my PL/SQL function "shell" instead of "USF_RUN_HOST_CMD " as Tim did in his example (step 9).
    2. In Apex,
    a. I created a button to run my shell command. (I named it P2_RUN_SHELL)
    b. I created a PL/SQL process whose source looks as follows:
    shell('/home/ackness/scripts/cr_xcf_file.sh > /tmp/cr_scfp_file.log');
    and which was conditioned on the the button P2_RUN_SHELL.
    It works like a charm.
    Note: since you can run your own scripts using this method, you can encapsulate a series of commands in a UNIX shell script and invoke that script from Apex. This allows you to be able to test or run you commands from the command line as well as Apex and makes it easier to develop/debug/enhance the scripts in the future.

  • How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?

    How can I use LDAP searching from OSX Lion Server to Mozilla Thunderbird?  We have a super awesome contacts server that works great for our Mac users.  About 30% of our company are on PCs, and I would like to use the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client for them.  I see that in Thunderbird I can set up LDAP searching, and would like to have this feature point to our contacts server.  I've tried several different settings, and looked all over the web, but could not find the proper way to configure this.  Does anyone know if this can be done, or if not, would have a better suggestion?  Thank you for your time!!

    How can i use Unix database in Java?
    Message was edited by:
    JPro

    I have not a clue about FoxPro, but the db then is FoxPro and not Unix. The better question would be "How do I connect to FoxPro DB running on Unix with JDBC?".
    My answer to that would be, search the Internet for a JDBC driver.

    That is correct. You'll need either an ethernet cable or a firwire cable and a firewire to thunderbolt adapter to connect the two macs together. Here's info on Migration/Setup assistant

  • Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

    Hi ,
    Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
    If yes please give some examples .
    Thanx
    srini

    I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
    Example from the document:
    /* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
    ** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
    ** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of
    contents"
    ** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
    DECLARE
    PAGE_NO NUMBER;
    PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
    SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
    CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
    BEGIN
    SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
    IF :CALLED = Y THEN
         SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
         SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
         P_START_PAGENO);
         SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
    END IF;
    SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
    CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                          (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
    SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
    SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
    COMMIT;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
            NULL;
      WHEN SRW.DO_SQL_FAILURE THEN
            SRW.MESSAGE(1,FAILED TO INSERT ROW INTO SHIP TABLE);
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
           COMMIT;
    END;

    or
    is there a way to search all sql of all reports for specific strings and report names so that I can find all report sql that uses table1  for example?

    Hi Bart!
    You can use VBScript to extract the dataprovider within the reports (Search for SDK Desktop Intelligence).
    If you can wait a few days longer, I can provide my script.
