Running a batch file - VERY URGENT .. help

Hi people
I am attempting to run a batch file from with a JSP page.
the code i am using is:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("cmd.exe /c d:\\uploadfiles.bat");
This jsp file is located on the c: of a webserver.
the uploadfiles.bat is located on the d: of the webserver and the code is:
copy d:\videos\008214?.rm d:\blah
copy d:\images\008214.* d:\blah
copy d:\xml\008214.* d:\blah
cd \blah
pkzip -es -m 008214.zip *.*
copy 008214.zip d:\upload\008214.zip
del 008214.zip
If I run this batch file from a command line, it works fine, though when I try and call it through my JSP page, it doesnt do anything .. a command window just pops up for a while, and then closes.
How can I fix this ... I need this quite quickly
Thanks people

1) It is O.K. that you see nothing in that console. Its output is captured by Java and is not displayed on the screen.
In general, that console should not be visible, but actually it behaves differently according to JDK and OS versions (treat that as a feature).
2). Look at this article:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
It it does not answer your problem, try to search the forums:
http://search.java.sun.com/search/java/index.jsp?qp=%2Bforum%3A31&nh=10&qt=%2B%22exec%22+-%22Replies%3A+0%22&col=javaforums
Questions about Runtime.exec() has been asked hundreds of times.
3) runtime.exec() can execute BAT files. It is not necessary to specify that "cmd /C".

Running a batch file in Java. Urgent!!

I want to run a batch file present at a particular location in Java.Although I am running two codes suggested by many people, i am still not able to run the batch file. My codes run as below :-
CODE 1
Process P;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
P = rt.exec("C:\\test.bat");
CODE 2
Process P;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
P = rt.exec("C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe C:\\test.bat");
I have tried both these codes but without success. But I have observed that in the Task Manager, whenever i run the above codes in a servlet, a "CMD.EXE" is being created in the "Processes" Bar each time but the batch file neither opens up nor it runs.
Please suggest me some method to run this batch file in Java.
Or if u can suggest the reason behind the above observation and any corrections i can make to run the batch file. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
My aim is to run a MS-DOS Batch file, that I created to run a Java Prgram.
I need to call the Batch File from the Oracle Procedure, Also I may need to change the content of the Batch File (Argument to the Java JAR File ).
I can keep the JAR FIle either in the Oracle Server or in the Application Server.
The Java program is to convert XML Format FIle to PDF and MS Word format.
Oracle Version : 10g 2.0.1.0.
Thanks in advance

Problems Force Running a batch file

Hi There,
I am trying to force-run a batch file to copy files from a local NBO Appliance to the C:\tmp directory on the user's workstation. The batch file lives at c:\tmp\branding.bat.
I cant get the batch file to force run. Zen reporting advises that the batch file has distributed and launched successfully, however the files do not copy.
However, if i click on the icon for the batch file app - the files copy no problem. I have tried running Workstation Associated and (Unrestricted) User Associated as well as Workstation - Force Run as User.
Path to executable file:
%*WinSysDir%\cmd.exe
Parameters:
/c "c:\tmp\branding.bat"
Any ideas? The batch file has to refer to the P: drive as the application covers 40 different sites each with their own appliance containing source files.
Running NBO2 - ZFD 4 Agent 4.0.1.60 - Clientless
Desktop XP Workstations
Thanks
Thax

Have the app object copy the batch file to the hard drive from the
server and then run it locally. This should work with a Middle Tier server.

Running a batch file

String path = "";
path = "cmd /c start FCall.bat";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(path);
//proc.destroy() ; The code works fine, however, I need some help in exiting the command window. After executing the batch file the window should close. I have tried "destroy" didnt work it kills the entire process. Is there a function I am missing to accomplish this ?

warnerja,
I am compiling my program through command prompt. One of my method that contains the above mentioned code, runs the batch file. In doing so, it opens cmd.exe window. I want that window to be closed once the batch file ends running.
The path associated with the cmd.exe is the same as the path where I am compiling my java code.
Any suggestion ?

Running a Batch File on another Server with an Oracle Job

hi, i have the following code
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'test_job_bat',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '\\10.1.1.63\test\test.bat',
enabled => true,
comments => 'test bat'
END;
So i want to run a batch file, which lies on another pc in the network
The code runs, without a failure.
The bat file just contains "MD D:\bla" .
When i run the code, no bla directory is created, so it seems that the batch file never ran.
i approved read/write on the test folder. (Windows 7 machine)
any ideas?
Edited by: user1067632 on 31.05.2010 05:03
in dba_scheduler_job_run_details the job is listed as FAILED:

Now i want to java bla.jar in my batch, and got that new error
ORA-27369: Job vom Typ EXECUTABLE nicht erfolgreich mit Exit-Code: Unzulässige Funktion.

Running a batch file on ftp server

HI All,
i am trying to use Command line facility of file adapter to run a batch file..
i batch file i have a single command as
mkdir ranjeet.
how should i call this batch file from file adapter..
i tried putting batch file name in the command line section. I had copied the batch file on ftp server at location of Target Directory..but in audit log of adapter i am getting error as OS command cannot be executed..

Ranjeet,
>>ok..but what will command to be run of ftp run..
How do you expect any one of us to know what your ftp server is based on.
The previous reply by Carme has answered your XI query and to the point. You acknowledge it with a <b>ok</b>!! I guess it is too rude on your part.
Anway answering your question, that depends on your FTP server. Log in to your FTP server manally and try executing these commands and check.

Running a batch file to invoke reports runtime

Hi,

ThanX.

hello,
on windows NT you have the AT functionality which is basic scheduling. however if you are using the oracle reports server you can schedule the report inside the server itself.

Running a batch file inside a jar

HI all
I created a jar file , in which i need to run a batch file , so i wrote a main class to execute the run the batch file , but when iam running the jar it is searching for the given batch file out side the jar.
my code is some thing like below
     public static void main(String args[])
          try
               Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
               Process process=rt.exec("%DIRNAME%/start.bat");
   InputStreamReader reader =
                  new InputStreamReader ( process.getInputStream () );
               BufferedReader buf_reader =
                   new BufferedReader ( reader );
                String line;
                while ((line = buf_reader.readLine ()) != null)
                             System.out.println (line);
          catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println (e);
     }so please help me.. is it the problem in specifing the path...?
are does it have any other method to read the stream functions ..
thanks in advance
sam

I don't think this will work. You could not go to a command line and enter, "%DIRNAME%/start.bat" if start.bat was inside a jar - the CLI doesn't know how to read a batch file inside a jar.
I think it would work to programmatically read the lines of start.bat (when it is inside the jar) into an array of Strings and use Runtime.exec with the array as the argument.
It would also work to extract the start.bat file, then execute it using Runtime.exec.

Run a batch file from demantra workflow

I am trying to run a batch file from demantra's workflow by creating an executable step.
I am getting the following error.
Error description ’’Invalid command line:’’"D:\Oracle Demantra Spectrum\Collaborator\demantra\sop\populate_staging.bat"
I am giving the following value in command line of executable step.
"#application_root#\sop\populate_staging.bat"
The batch file exists in the appropriate folder.
Following code is in the batch file.
sqlldr userid=msdem/msdem@demsbx control=load_item_hier.ctl
Please help me.
Thanks

This should work for you-
Create a batch file on your current server (ODI) and write in the path to the other batch file on the other server.
//Server2completename/D$/Path/yourbatchfile.bat
From ODI call your batch file that you created on the same machine.. which will inturn call the other batch file on a different machine to execute batch client.
Also can you paste the errors that you may be getting.. need to check if you are getting any specific issue related to this.
Thanks

Unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command

Using XI 3.0, I am unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command After Message Processing.
My Batch file:
gpg -se -r BOA3RSKY --armor --passphrase-fd 0 %1 < C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\gpgin
My Command Line (ID scenario)
exec "cmd.exe /c C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat %F"
If I execute
exec "cmd.exe /c type C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat >xis.txt"
It displays the contents of boagpg.bat file in xis.txt.
I just don't understand why when I run the batch file, I would expect an %F.asc encrypted file in the same directory as the %F unencrypted file.
Any ideas?
or will I need Basis to create commands that will allow me to run GPG from XI Command Line?
