Is it possible to call operating system command after file receive?

Hi expert,
I'm trying to call operating system command after file receive comm.channel receive a txt file.
operating system command uses txt file name as parameter.
Is it possible? How?
Thanks.

Hi,
It should be possible, actually we have two options that are
1.RUN OS command before message processing
2.RUN OS command after message processing.
So you can give the commands in the RUN OS command after message processing.

Operating System Command After File Processing in Sender File Adapter

Hello guys,
actually we have different interfaces, and the client to take all the files from only one directory, for example D:/DPI.
Unitl now we had one adapter for every file with the content conversion, so we didn't have problems with that. Now we have the problem that we sould maintain an order processing files.
We thougth that an idea could be to execute one file pointing to D:/DPI and at the Operating System Command put like: copy D:/DPI/file.txt D:/DPI/outbound/file.txt, so when file is executed, we move the next file to another directory where is pointing the adapter. Doing this we have an error on the adapter giving us the message: Could not process due to error: java.lang.NullPointerException
We are using a Windows.
There is anyway to do in our way, or there is a better solution to resolve this problem?
Any other idea to do this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Helo Guys,
maybe I haven't explained well.
We have one directory with different files. We have one adapter for every file( we need for the content conversion ) using NFS and all the adapters are pointing to the same directory.
The problem is that if we have files A.txt, B.txt and C.txt we need to process in an order.
And the problem we see is that for every file we have one adapter, so for example if we process file A.txt with one adapter, when this part is finished, we want to process file B.txt with another adapter, and the same for the rest of the files.
So the idea we had is to create another directories, and when A.txt has finished move file B.txt to another directory.
However this way is not running, if we log on the PI machine and execute cmd, we can do a copy of one file from one directory to another, but when we put this sentence in the adapter in OS command if we see the adapter log we see an error executing the OS command, but we don't know what is the error, there is no more information.
There is any way to do this or maybe we have to manage in a different way?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Calling OS Commands from Plsql

abcd', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission','<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute');
again
get
can't exec: /tmp/sri/GROUP_ho.sh lacks user privilege
same error;

Process management at the OS level should prevent execution continuing in the calling code until the command has completed (either successfully or with error).
If the low level java code were to spawn child process threads then execution could continue, but I'm guessing the Java function your talking about doesn't do that and just calls the operating system to execute the command and waits for the returning code to come back.

Unzip file using operating system command in file/ftp receiver adapter

Hi,
I'm wonderdering how to unzip a zip-file in the receiver file/ftp adapter. I know it is possible to do it using the 'Operating system command' feature, but somehow the command I use seems to be ignored! (I'm using SP14, unix).
The command I entered is quite simple: unzip %F (also tried the %f, but i guess it doesn't really matter wich on I use).
Is it possible that I'm unzipping to another directory than the one i expect? the unzip should be performed to/in the current directory, and assumingly current directory is the one stated in the 'Target Directory', right?
Hope someone can clearify this issue for me.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
It seems to me also, that the files are being unzipped to a different location than what you are expecting. The OS command might getting executed in some default location(i am trying to fnd that out)on the server and not in the target directory of the channel(It seems logical to me)....
If you have time...pls try this out & see whether this would help...
Have a shell script written with the following commands in them
cd <path to target directory>
unzip $1(filename from the channel)
and in the OS command in the Channel give....
<absolute path to the .sh file> %F
Thanks,
Renjith.

Run Operating System Commands

Hi,
There is an urgent requirement, i want to know about Run Operating System Commands in file adapter. What are all possible commands for windows operating system? and how it works? Kindly send me your suggestions and links at the earliest.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sadhna.

Hi,
Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing
●      Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after the message processing of a file that was found in a run. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
●        %f (file name)
●        %F(absolute file name including path)
●      Timeout (secs)
This specifies the maximum runtime of the executing program in seconds. When this time interval is exceeded, the adapter continues processing. The executing program continues to run in the background.
●      Terminate Program After Timeout
Set this indicator if the adapter is to terminate the executing program when the timeout is exceeded.
The adapter writes the output (STDOUT and STDERR) for the operating system command in the system trace.

Phani

Exeecuting Operating System Commands in Weblogic

Hi,
as part of an offline process every time my database gets updated
I have to call a tool ( Verity ) to create a collection. This is done
from a Servlet where the Administrator simply clicks on a link and the
verity collection is built and updated. Hence, whenever the database
changes I need to call a system command 'mkvdk' to build a collection
( a flat file ).
My servlet is running in Weblogic 4.5. Is it possible to
execute operating system commands in java running in weblogic ? I know
it is possible in java using
Process runProcess =
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(systemcommand);
is it possible under weblogic ? because I have tried it and I get an
I/O error .....
Thanks,
Gavin

Hi.
Please post the error you are seeing. Also, what JDK version are you
running, and OS/platform.
Thanks,

Execute external operating system command

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to run a script file with extention '.PL' on the application server using ABAP.
i have sample how to run it in XI.
XI3.0 provides a very simple way of handling this using the "Operating System Command" in the File Adapter.
I post my output file in the following folder,
/usr/sap/sapout/test/
The shell script is available in the following path,
/usr/sap/bin/convert.pl
The figure below explains as to how we call the shell script using "Operating System Command".
File Acess parameters
      Target Directory      = /usr/sap/sapout/test/
      File Name Scheme = TestOutput.txt
Processing Parameters
     File Construction Mode          = Add Time Stamp
     File Type                              = Binary
     Operating System Command = /usr/sap/bin/convert.pl %F
I have to do the same thing in ABAP as it has been done for XI as mentioned in the above example.
My operating system is UNIX.
If any one can give me a sample it would be really helpful to me.
Thanks in advance,
Arundhathi.

Hi Arundhati,
You can run operating system commands from ABAP.
e.g. If you want to change UNIX right for any file, you can use following code.
lv_ucomm = 'chmod a+rwx 123.txt'.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lv_ucomm.
whatever command you provide in Field parameter ( lv_ucomm in the above case ), ABAP run that command at operating system level.
In your case, you can provide command in lv_ucomm to run script at operating system level.
Hope it will help you.

Naren
