ABAP program to execute shell script !

Hi Friends,
I have created some shell scripts and need to be executed through ABAP prog in order to automate some process. can any one tell me how to execute these scripts through ABAP program? i know that we have to setup those scripts through SM69 but i dont have clear idea about this.can some one tell me step by step how to do this. ur help will be awarded in terms of points.
Thanks

Define the scripts as commands in SM69. Test them in SM69/SM49 to see if they work.
Next, go to SE37, run FM SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, and specify your command there. Does it work?
If yes, you can just code a 'CALL FUNCTION' to this FM in your ABAP program, and you are ready to invoke your script from your ABAP.
For a list of functions that work with commands (defined in SM69), do a drop-down on SXPG_COMMAND* in SE37.
A sample code may look like this
concatenate zsys_id z_infile z_extfile into parm
    separated by space.
*C_FTP_COMMAND is a script defined in SM49
    CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'
      EXPORTING
        COMMANDNAME                   = C_FTP_COMMAND
        ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS         = parm
        OPERATINGSYSTEM               = SY-OPSYS
      TABLES
        EXEC_PROTOCOL                 = PROT

Execute Shell Script through Demantra Workflow

Hi All ,
Can we execute shell script from Demantra Workflow ?
If yes where should we place the shell script file and wat should be the commandline command in the step .
We have the Demantra installed on a windows server and the workflow manager is on a linux server .
the batch file on the windows server can be executed through the secure shell from the linux server .
I am trying to achieve the same through thr demantra workflow
Appreciate any input on the same .
Thanks and regards
Suzy

Hi,
Shell script is not supported till Demantra 7.2.0.2 WF.
I have checked with Oracle team also and reply I got below for your reference:
QUESTION
*=========*
As per your details, shall we conclude like this:
*"only *.bat and *.exe files can be used in workflow. Demantra standard functionality doe*
*s not support shell script in workflow"*
ANSWER
*=======*
Hi ,
The Demantra standard functionality 7.2.0.2 does support shell script in workflow.
Thanks,
Asya
Please review the note#468071.1-Unable to Run EBS Workflows that Call EngineManager.exe in
You will find this note is referring to the Enhancement Request Bug 6644455-- ANALYTICAL ENGINE
NOT AVAILABLE ON UNIX/LINUX
But the enhancement bug exist and I hope it is fixed in Demantra 7.3.

Upgraded ROX filer not executing shell scripts

Hi all,
I run ICEWM+ROX filer as my lite desktop but after a recent upgrade, ROX does not execute shell scripts on mouse click. It appears that filetype detection has changed so that all scripts are shown with the shellscript icon, whereas before those without a .sh extension where shown with the kde type "cogwheel".
Any tips much appreciated.
My thanks in advance!

I've found a lot of things I don't like about the latest ROX upgrade... too much caching nowadays in my opinion.

Finding path to source executed shell script

Hello,
I have shell script A which executes shell script B. The scripts A and B reside in the same directory.
Following requirements:
Scripts A and B need to be source executed.
The directory where A and B resides should be anywhere.
The present working directory from where A is executed should be anywhere.
The directory of scripts A and B may not be defined in $PATH.
The current shell could be any Bourne or Korn shell, Linux or Unix.
Problem:
Let's assume scripts A and B are installed in "/custom".
The users working directory is /home/oracle and he executes "source /custom/A".
If script A executes "source ./B", the result would be "source /home/oracle/B", which will fail.
Possible Solution:
Since script A is being sourced, $0 will always be the name of the current shell and not the name and path to script A.
I have not found a universal solution to locate the absolute path of a shell script that is being source executed.
So I was wondering about defining a variable in script A. e.g. SCRIPT_HOME=./custom. When script A executes "source $SCRIPT_HOME/B" it will work, but then script A needs to be customized by the user.
I could write a script C that edits script A to search and edit the SCRIPT_HOME variable. For this to work I will have to verify that script C is not source executed, and that script A is in the same directory as C based on $0. This is not a problem..
The question however is whether I need to create script C, or could simply execute script A with -config argument to edit itself and exit. I would prefer the later case and from what I understand, Unix and Linux do not lock files by default and this should be possible.
Any comments or suggestions please?
Thanks!
Edited by: Dude on Apr 5, 2011 3:59 AM

The $_ solution is actually very simple:
$ cat thatsme
mypath=$(dirname $_)
echo "$mypath/B"
$ source /home/oracle/thatsme
/home/oracle/BI do not need the absolute path of script A. The relative path from my current directory will do as well.
But, it does not work with an alias:
$ alias thatsme='source /home/oracle/thatsme'
$ thatsme
./B

How to set the time limit to execute shell script

I am using Runtime exec() method to execute a shell script
if the script hangs for long time infinitely then how to get the control
return to the program.
Thanks in advance

in this case proc.waitFor() will not execute try catch the control will remain if statement
my question is insteadof waiting indefinitely need to set a time out say 1 hour and kill the process that executed the scriptYou really need to read the article in the link given by another poster. Your code will not work correctly because you are waiting for the process to end before reading the stream and the processes may never end because you are not reading the stream until after it ends (you need to use muli-threading as explained in the article). If the process really did hange you could probably use destroy(); but, for now, the real problem is your code.

Problem executing shell script for rwrun

hi..
I wrote a shell script to make a report similar to the batch file in windows.
My OS is Suse 8.0 with oracle installed in it..
I have the script like this..I used 2 lexical parameters for my rep file.
/opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh test techy/techy@simone batch=yes desname=test_3.pdf destype=file desformat=pdf atable=\'\' whereford=\'protokolle.haendlernummer=\'Ludwigsburg\' and\'
This one works fine but the one below doesn't give any output. The pdf fiel is just empty. I wonder y,,may be any problems with the spaces or escape characters.I didn't get any error when executed the scripts.
/opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh test techy/techy@simone batch=yes desname=test_3.pdf destype=file desformat=pdf atable=\'\' whereford=\'protokolle.haendlernummer like \'L%\' and\'
thanx and waiting for soem one to answer..
regards
Kovi

I solved it by doing the following..
opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh test techy/techy@simone batch=yes desname=test_3.pdf destype=file desformat=pdf atable=\\'\\' whereford=\\'\\ protokolle.haendlernummer\\ like\\ \\'L%\\'\\ and\\'
from the Java Program..
Important thing I discoverd is there should be a space at the beginning like whereford=' prot...' and it sok now..
thanx ...but I still has other probelm now..which is to invoke the report from a servlet which executes this shell script..Problem with DISPLAY variable..I cannot run rwrun.sh without DISPLAY variable..
Is there any way to set this variable for tomcat service.

Can we not run 2 sqlplus programs in a shell script ?

Hi
I have 2 spool programs which need to be called from a shell script .
When i try to do it , only the first spool program runs but not the second one . Is their any reason ?

Thanks in advance ..As I said before .. the term "spool program" has no meaning in Oracle and only serves to cloud the issue. I know you are used to using this term with other products, but "When in Rome ...."
As for your example above, why are you using what appears to be a unix shell script as redirected input into sqlplus? And in the second line, what's with the dot (".") between "lit_fac_cat.sh" and "output_cat.log"?
If these .sh files are really sql files (which is the only thing sqlplus know how to process) then the proper things to do are
1) name them lit_fac.sql and lit_fac_cat.sql
2) feed them to sqlplus in the standard, documented manner:
sqlplus -s abcdata/daddy@DevOra @lit_fac.sql

Host in forms 10g and execute shell script

Hi!
I have a little problem. When I transfer form to AS through SSH protocol I want to automatically generate form on AS wit h code:
declare
lv_server_dir vc2() := /folder1/folder2;
lv_file_name vc2():= a.fmb;
host(lv_server_dir||'/ftp_gen.sh '||lv_server_dir||' '||lv_file_name);
In file ftp_gen.sh is code:
export ORACLE_HOME=myOracleHome
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
export SQLPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs
export NLS_LANG=SLOVENIAN_SLOVENIA.EE8ISO8859P2
export DISPLAY=:2
cd $1
./gen.sh $3
When I execute this command on form nothing happens.
What could be wrong?
Thanx,
Bojan

Hi Bojan,
Executing the HOST Command will execute in the Mid Tier and nothing will show up in the Client. (other than the form go into Blocking mode). Just check out whether the Operation you wanted to do in the Mid tier is done or not. (Here it looks like you are compiling a form. So, check out that the fmx is generated.)
Alternatively to check out the proper execution of the HOST command, you can generate a file in the Mid-tier (on successful execution of the shell script) and read the file using TEXT_IO and display a message to user.
HTH.

Execute Shell Script from OWB Process Flow

I am trying to execute a Shell Script from a User Defined activity of OWB Process Flow. As I have not done such things earlier
I need to know:
1. Where I will put the Shell Script (move_file.sh)?
2. What are the values in need to enter in the external process parameters (such as Command, Script, Result Code, Parameter List, Sucess Threshold etc)
Please reply this thread. It would be a big help for me and probably for others as well.
Kind Regards

and then recompiled the host procedure
executed the host procedure as per ur suggestion as follows (with out put)

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
bt, bt, bt, it still did not do any operations defined in the "ecs_script.sh"
in fact the script did nt executed.......

Executing shell script through PL/SQL

Hi,
I need some help regarding execution of shell script through Oracle PL/SQL.
I have a shell script present in /abc/xyz folder with name search.sh , Through a PL/SQL procedure I am creating a file to store the report data.
I want to execute /abc/xyz/search.sh from the PL/SQL procedure to delete all files created before 3 mins .
1.     At first I took Java route and got following permissions granted for RECON user.
GRANT USER SYS java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute ENABLED 351
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission readFileDescriptor * ENABLED 350
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission writeFileDescriptor * ENABLED 349
2.     Then I created a simple java class for execution of OS command as below
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "OSCommand" AS
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
int ext=proc.waitFor();
return ("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
3.     And a wrapper function as below to use this class
create or replace
FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
4.     In my PL/SQL proceedure I am using following code to execute the command
v_Return := OSCommand_Run('/abc/xyz/search.sh');
to execute the shell script.
Proceedure executes without any error and generates a new csv file with report data , however shell script does not get executed and hence all csv files created earlier remain as it is in the folder.
Please help.

What happens if you remove the catch exception block from your java command?
I asume you still might have a permission issue. But it could be hidden from you, because of the exception is catched and printed into nirvana.Executed the wrapper function OSCOMMAND_RUN as below
DECLARE
v_Return VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
v_Return := OSCOMMAND_RUN('/recon/html/invoice/search.sh' );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_Return = ' || v_Return);
END;
And following is the result
v_Return = 0
Process exited.
In case of exception it would had printed the exception.
One more thing I noticed, even though I have taken following permissions
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/*     execute     ENABLED     347
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/xyz/*     execute     ENABLED     351
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     <<ALL FILES>>      execute     ENABLED     352
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     readFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     350
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     writeFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     349
When I create a new search.sh in /abc dir I get following error
v_Return = the Permission (java.io.FilePermission /abc/search.sh execute) has not been granted to RECON. The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'RECON', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '/abc/search.sh', 'execute' )

The Java proc says:

You call it as follows:

/bin/sh -c /root/sh ecs_script.sh
Is this what you intended?

Error executing shell script using dbms_scheduler

I have a job running which executes a shell script,which fails with following error :
SQL> SELECT additional_info
2 FROM user_scheduler_job_run_details
3 WHERE log_date = (SELECT MAX (log_date)
4 FROM user_scheduler_job_run_details);
ADDITIONAL_INFO
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
STANDARD_ERROR="mkdir: Failed to make directory "/export/home/bwsolaris/abc"; Permission denied"
This are contents of my shell script
#!/bin/ksh
/bin/mkdir /export/home/bwsolaris/abc
Can anyone suggest me some way out of it?
Thanks in advance!!!

Does oracle still creates a user nobody"nobody" is a "standard" Unix/Linux lowly privileged user, which is used by DBMS_SCHEDULER by default.
You should change permissions on /export/home/bwsolaris, e.g.
$ chmod 777 /export/home/bwsolaris
or use a different directory, where everyone has access, for example /tmp.
Or take a look at Metalink Note:391820.1 - Scheduled Job Running Shell Script Fails With ORA-27369

ORA-01017 encountered while executing shell scripts

Hi,
While executing backup scripts for one of my databases, the script contains a login section which fails as shown below
Script login section:
sqlplus / << END > /tmp/$PROGRAM.tmp
Error generatedf in logfile:
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production on Wed Apr 10 11:32:06 2013
Copyright (c) 1982, 2011, Oracle. All rights reserved.
ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Couple of points to be noted:
1) There are two other databases in the same server and they don't have any issue
2) I am able to login into this database as "/"
3) I am able to connect to the same databases as sysdba from another server
4) The script runs successfully when I modify it as: sqlplus / as sysdba << END > /tmp/$PROGRAM.tmp

if you connect sqlplus as
$ sqlplus /You're not identifying that's why you got ORA-01017
instead if you connect as "sqlplus / as sysdba" , check:
sqlplus / as sysdba--how it works
