Call a shell script using OA framework page.

Dear all,
I am new to OA Framework.There is a requirement in which I have to call a shell script using a Web page using OA framework.Can anyone throw light on how can we do this?
Regards

Hi,
You can call shell script from Java and hence from OAF, following is a piece of code
try
String execString = "ls -all"
Runtime r t = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(execString);
/* handle you process from here..
outputstreams, inputStreams and such
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace()
I also don't know Java much but to run shell script you need an object runtime class, I searched it on goolge for you.

Calling a shell script from ODI tool OS command

hi,
I am trying to call a shell script from the ODI tool OS command with the following command "sh /Oracle/ODI/backlog.sh"
where "backlog.sh" is the name of the shell script. I am redirecting the output of the script to a file called "backlog.out" and this part is done in the script itself.The ODI session is successful and the output file i.e "backlog.out" gets created in the specified location but the output of the script doesnot get written to this output file.Is this the right way of calling the shell script using ODI OS command.

Hi-
It seems there is no input parameters for your script. Please check your script file needs any input parameters and try the syntax below:
path/scriptname.sh input1 input2
where input1 and 2 are input parameters for the script file which you are calling.
Hope this will work for you.
Thanks,
Saravanan Rajavel

Issue with calling Shell Script using DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi All,
I am executing a shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER from APEX web page. Execution part is working fine without any issues.
In my shell script file (abc.sh) I have few oracle sql procedure calls which connects back to same database and that SQL call is not executing some reason, it not giving any errors.
Inside my shell script code looks like this.
sqlplus -silent $USER/$PASSCODE@$SCONNECT > /dev/null <<END
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off serveroutput on
echo off linesize 1000
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT 9
BEGIN
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
do_enable_cons();
dbms_output.disable;
END;
spool off;
exit;
END
When I run this shell script file from backend it works fine now issues.
Is there any restrictions in executing sql code using DBMS_SCHEDULER? Any ones help is much appreciated.
-Regards

Thanks you sb and Sybrand . It is problem with environment variables. After running .bash_profile in the beginning of the shell script, it is working fine.
One issue is when I check the process it is showing two entries with two different process id's.
The command I used
ps -ef | grep <my script> is COPY & PASTE broken for you?
any reason why you did not show us EXACTLY was produced by OS command above?
>
Is it something wrong with my code or is it normal? Is it really executing two times ?

NoClassDefFoundError when using Runtime to call a shell script

I have a java program that uses the Runtime.exec method to call a shell script that then calls another java program (the shell script and 2nd java program are a 3rd party product I have to call).
When I run my program as root, it works fine. When I run it as a regular user, I get the following error message:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 'argument'
In the error message above, "argument" is just an argument I had to pass to the shell script, which then calls the 2nd java program. It is this second java program that is throwing this exception it seems. This is all in Linux (RH AdvSrvr 2.5). If I call the shell script on the command line as the regular user, not from the java program, it works fine; but I NEED to call it from the java program... it's a long story.
I have check Environment variables, system properties under both users during the processes and I cannot find any major difference. I have checked file permissions and everything.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on here? Please help me, thank you!

Okay, we found the problem. Our in-house MASTER OF ALL found it. The argument that the jvm was trying to load as a class needed to be in quotes according to documentation, but the shell escapes out the quotes when run on the command line, whereas in my java process it was not, therefore the jvm thought it needed to load it as a class.
Clear as mud?

How to call a shell script from a java code

Hello can any one suggest me how to call a shell script from a java program that takes three parameters.
i have a shell script (msp_restore_gui) when i run this script in the command line in a RHEL5 ,SUSE10 and Debian machine it works fine .I even tested to call it from a java program and it also worked fine but when i used the same in a J2ee application where the user when clicks the restore button in a webserver this inturn sends the request to a java file named BackupManager.java where i call the shell script.But here it fails.Waiting for your suggestions.If you want i can put the code also here

How to call a shell script in Java ?

Hi there,
i try to call a shell script in java but it wont work.
please can anybody help me.
my Code :
import java.io.*;
public class SendMessage{
Runtime rt;
public SendMessage(){
rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
public void send(){
try{
rt.exec("sendMessage.sh");
System.out.println("Message was Send");
catch(IOException ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
the file called sendMessage.sh is also stored in the same directory as the class File.
the exception never cames up but the script also never starts.
what is wrong ??? :-((
need help !
}

rt.exec("sendMessage.sh");Oh, sorry, I didn't see that you tried under UNIX.
BTW you should check for the OS - this stuff is very os and os release dependent.
I have not experimented with this under unix.
But something must interpret that sendMessage.sh file.
Perhaps the hash bang info is used by exec() (did you put a
#!/bin/sh as first line in your .sh file?
If not, try
rt.exec("/bin/sh sendMessage.sh");Regards,

How to call a shell script via ODI

Hi,
I need suggestion on following issues:
1) How to call a shell script via ODI?.. I tried using OSCommand utility .inspite of the execution being successful the data is not written into the new file in the desired format. After processing new file is created in the mentioned location but its empty.
2) I'm calling a procedure in ODI to load data into my fact. But once the fact gets loaded i want to update the log details (num of rows processed,num of rows inserted,num of rows rejected etc) in my log table. I'm planning to use a proc for updating but need to know from where can i find these details. Is there a table in work rep which gives me these info like how we get if we execute an interface.?
Please help me out.. Its urgent
Regards
Surabhi

Hello,
Question 1 appears a little vague, please elaborate. If you're looking to capture a return value from the command execution, you will need to pipe the return value to a file, then read from there.
The execution information is stored in the SNP_STEP_LOG table in the Work Repository. You will need to do a series of joins to retrieve the exact table that was updated. Good luck with this...

Executing a shell script from a jsp page

Hi,
I'm facing a problem while executing a shell script from a jsp page.
I'm using Runtime.exec() function.
It's working fine for single statement scripts.But if the script consists of any database processing and some other processing statements,it's not returning the correct exit status of the process.
Will u please help me in this.
If there is any other ways to execute a shell script from a jsp page other than Runtime.exec() like RMI etc,.If so let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It's hard to help you but what you can do is listening to the outputs of your script, you should read the output stream and error stream and send them to the default console.
Check this excellent article : http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html?page=4

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

Parameter to shell script using Runtime.exec(string)

Hi all, ( Speciall hi to dheeraj tak )
Briefly : How do i pass an arguement to a non - java executible being called using Runtime.exec.
In detail : i am using Runtime.exec to call a shell script : The code is as follows:
String callAndArgs[] = {"/home/tom/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/dash/script.sh"};
try {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
This works properly & calls the shell script which in turn invokes some other executible (c file).
$HOME/midi/test/build/bin/<C-EXECUTIBLE>
Here i am specifying the name (say hello.exe ) . So far so good.
I want to make this happen dynamiclaly. so i need to pass the name of the executible as a parameter to the script.
To pass a parameter i hav to change the string to :-
String callAndArgs[] = {"/home/tom/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/webapps/dash/script.sh <C-EXECUTIBLE HERE>"};
and the script to
$HOME/midi/test/build/bin/$1 --- where $1 refers to argument 1. (C-EXECUTIBLE AGAIN).
This is giving an IO - Execption. Plz help
Code will be very helpful.
Thanx in advance

some 1 plz tell me the difference :-
This is the documentation of Runtime.exec that i found :-
1> exec
public Process exec(String command) throws IOException
Executes the specified string command in a separate process.
The command argument is parsed into tokens and then executed as a command in a separate process. This method has exactly the same effect as exec(command, null).
Parameters:
command - a specified system command
Complete refernce says : Process (String progName) ----- Executes a program specified by programname as a seperate process.
2> exec
public Process exec(String cmdarray[]) throws IOException
Executes the specified command and arguments in a separate process.
The command specified by the tokens in cmdarray is executed as a command in a separate process. This has exactly the same effect as exec(cmdarray, null).
Parameters:
cmdarray - array containing the command to call and its arguments.
Complete reference says : Process exec(String comLineArray[]) ---- Executes the command line specified bythe string in comLineArray as a seperate process.
This means that there is provision 4 command line arguments...
how do u use it then????????????????????????????

Executing shell script using OSLinetoken fetchlet

Hii,
I do have a requirement. I need to use a shell script in the OSLineToken fetchlet. In response metric i will be checking whether the directory exists or not on the server. In order to check the existence of the directory, i have created a shell script. But how can i relate its result with the Response metric? The shell script is as follows:
Shell Script:
if test -d $1 ; then
echo "DIR exist"
else
echo "false"
fi
The Response metric for the same will be:
<QueryDescriptor FETCHLET_ID="OSLineToken">
     <Property NAME="command" SCOPE="GLOBAL">
          sh {dir_name where the shell script is uploaded}/{shell script file name} {dir_name_parameter} </Property>
     <Property NAME="startsWith" SCOPE="GLOBAL">em_result=</Property>
     <Property NAME="delimiter" SCOPE="GLOBAL">|</Property>
</QueryDescriptor>
Please suggest what is the use of em_result here?
once the existence of the directory is checked, if it up then i need to call another shell script in order concatenate the contents of all the files with extension .log(this will be the parameter of shell script). Get the output from shell script and display it into custom management plug-in. As i am using cat *.log>>consolidatefile command to concatenate the data, i need to read consolidatefile file from the server and return this concatenated file data into plug-in. Again, how can i read the content of consolidatefile file in EMF? I will be creating another matric for this purpose say "read_content". the querydesciptor of the same will be as follows:
<QueryDescriptor FETCHLET_ID="OSLineToken">
     <Property NAME="command" SCOPE="GLOBAL">
          sh {dir_name where the shell script is uploaded}/{shell script file name} {dir_name_parameter} {extension of the files to concatenated} </Property>
     <Property NAME="startsWith" SCOPE="GLOBAL">em_result=</Property>
     <Property NAME="delimiter" SCOPE="GLOBAL">|</Property>
</QueryDescriptor>
I am not sure which all properties to be used in this case..I have seen multiple sample files some of them uses perbin, scriptsdir but some of them does not..The related pdf also does not say anyhting about such kind of properties. Please suggest.
I hope the explaination of the problem is not so cumbersome. Please let me know if you have any query to understand.
Thanks,
AS

If you notice, localScriptsDir is a directory within scriptsDir. If you package your plug-in up and deploy it through the UI, any scripts you create will go into %scriptsDir%/emx/<target_type>. So localScriptsDir just specifies that directory for you. You don't need it but then in the command paramater you'll have something like:
sh %scriptsDir%/emx/yourtargettype/yourscript...
So whether you specify it in the command or another property (localScriptsDir) doesn't really matter.
You can create your own properties in the QueryDescriptor. Just make sure you have the correct scope specified and it should be fine (options for scope are described in the Enterprise Manager DTD section of the Extensibility Guide).
Metric collection isn't really meant for dynamic specification of input parameters. I can think of a few solutions:
1) Create a target instance for each log directory. When you create the instance, the directory is specified. If you need to monitor a different directory, you can just create another instance. Upside is that it's flexible and scalable, and also, when you get an error you'll know exactly which directory it is based on which instance throws the error. Downside is that you have to have a separate instance for each directory.
2) If the log directories are well known and finite (and won't change names), hardcode them into the target metadata. Have a different metric collect for each log directory, so you'll have as many metrics as log directories you want to monitor. Even if the names of the directories are different, you can use instance properties to map them, so if you know there will always be 5 log directories you want to monitor, you can have 5 instance properties to map the names into the metrics, although this won't work if you don't have the same number each time. Upside is that there is only a single target instance. Downside is that it's not as flexible.
3) Use a job rather than a target type to find out this information. You could create a new job type which scans the logs for information and have the directory as an input parameter to the job. You could have this job on a repeating schedule to duplicate the effect you are trying to get out of creating a target type. The upside is that you can start the job whenever you want from the UI and specify exactly which directory whenever you run it. The downside is that the job system is centered on the OMS rather than the agent, so every time it runs it will have to contact the agent to do the work. In the case of the target type, the agent acts autonomously without contact from the OMS.
There are probably other options, but these are the quick ones off the top of my head.

Please help me......

Are you running the shell script from the same box as the forms are deployed in? If not, then HOST call will try to execute on the machine where the forms are hosted(App server).
