Batch File and MaxL Script

I have a MaxL script that exports level0 data from various cubes. I have a batch file to call that script at daily intervals.
I want to name the output something different each day (preferably NAMEmmdd type format). I realize I can add a rename or move to the batch but wonder if there is a MaxL method that will allow me to export to a different name?
Current MaxL is simply
export database APP.DB level0 data to data_file "'$Arborpath\am1119.txt'";
Ideas or direction to go to learn answer?
T,

Hi,
You can pass in variables into maxl, so you the calling batch file can pass in a variable which holds the filename with the current day...
For example you have a batch file
essmsh c:\temp\export.mxl 'C:\temp\output%DATE:~3,2%%DATE:~0,2%.txt'
If that was run today it would pass in 'C:\temp\output1118.txt
Now in your maxl you just reference the variable with
export database sample.basic level0 data to data_file $1;
the $1 relates to the variable which was passed in, the 1 being the position it was passed in.

Calling batch file from java Program

I have made the java program in which i have called the batch file.But the problem is this that when i call batch file locally it executes normally but when i try to execute batcvh file from remote machine it doesn't runrather it gives Runtime IO execption.Error123.Can anyone provide me the solution for this?

Not without a lot more information. Like for example how you are trying to execute this remote batch file, the code you are using to do that, what kind of server you have no the remote machine to let you remotely execute code, and so on.

How run a batch file from VBS script?

I have written a script in which I create a batch file that I want to run. Running it from the Start menu with "Run..." works fine but I would like to do it automatically from the script. I can't find a command that works but I am a beginner, so I'm hoping someone's got a solution?!

Hi again!
Thank you for your help but I've just discovered that my problem probably doesn't have to do with the way that I call for the batch file. It's more like this:
The batch file is run but it only does its job some of the times... The batch contains one name of a converter application (Convert.exe) and the names of some databases and files. I've been told that the conversion should work if Convert.exe is located in the same folder as the files. Which it also does, if I run the batch from "Run..." but not from my code.
I had it working for a while when I had fiddled (as I said, I'm a beginner at this) with setting some drives, such as userDrv and changing some paths in the script settings. Since I didn't really know what I was doing though, I didn't save these settings when closing down DIAdem and now it's not working again. When it worked, it only worked for the file where my .VBS was saved. The point of the program is to convert files in different folders so that wasn't enough.
Just for clearity: I can't write the name as "C:\My Folder..." because the batch file name and the folder it is situated in is different each time so I have variables for the path and the batch, but that part seems to work. (Call ExtProgram(batFilename_) where batFilename_ includes the path).
So I guess what I need to understand is how the different drives work or maybe I need to somehow change my path settings?

You didn't specify a database version, but if you are 10g or higher, it's quite straightforward using an external job type in DBMS_SCHEDULER. Funnily enough i'm looking at something similar myself at the moment.

Initiating batch scripts from Maxl Script Editor in Admin Console??

Guys,
Is it possible to initiate batch scripts from Maxl script editor in Admin Console.
I dont want to automate the scripts as my data loading process can happen at any time.
Thanks in advance
A

Hi A,
I'm not sure what you're asking? Do you want to run a batch of Maxl scripts, or a batch file, or a single Maxl Script? Why do you choose to use the Admin console to do this? Could you run what you're trying to run in batch from the command line?
Executing MaxL and MDX Scripts
To execute a MaxL script or an MDX script:
Open or create the script.
From the server drop-down list on the toolbar, select the Analytic Server to execute the script against.
The drop-down list contains only Analytic Servers that are displayed in your Enterprise View. For more information about connections, see Connecting to Analytic Servers in MaxL and MDX Script Editors.
Specify how errors should be handled during execution. See Setting MaxL and MDX Execution Options.
Specify how you want results to be displayed in the Results tab. See Viewing MaxL and MDX Results.
If the script contains variables, specify how undefined variables are resolved during execution. See Resolving Undefined Variables.
To execute the entire script, right-click and select Execute from the pop-up menu.
To execute only part of the script, highlight the statement or statements that you want to execute, right-click, and select Execute from the pop-up menu.
The script executes against the specified Analytic Server, and the results are displayed in the Results panel.Regards,

Calling a batch file in sql scripts

Hi friends,
I am looking for a way to call any batch file in sql scripts.I am avoiding to use DBMS_SCHEDULER package because my application server and database server are diifferent .
I am using the sql script in application server.plz help.

<ironic>
Ah, I see. This of course explains everything.
</ironic>
Now to be serious: there is no way to run a batch script from SQL. The tools which submit SQL Statements to the database are often capable of doing so; host in SQL*Plus can issue OS commands, the host builtin in Forms does it too, and with dbms_scheduler you can run a shell script on the database server.
So depending on the tools you are using there are several ways to run OS commands. So far you didn't tell us what you want to do with what tools in which version you want to do it. So to only answer is: this is not possible. You cannot run a batch script from plain SQL.
cheers

Hi!
Youn need some extproc related entries in you listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file.
*1. In the listener.ora:*
Defining the listener process is done in two parts.
The information contained in each listener differs!!!
The first part is as follows:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc)) <--- *ADD THIS LINE
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhostname)(PORT = 1521))
)The seoncd part is as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = YOUR_GLOBAL_DBNAME)
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <-- THIS IS YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (SID_NAME = YOUR_SID)                            <-- SID
    (SID_DESC =                                              <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)                          <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <--- ADD THIS LINE AND EDIT TO YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (PROGRAM = extproc)                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ENV = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")                  <--- ADD THIS LINE
    )                                                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
)*2. In the tnsnames.ora you need to add the following entry:*
*(The KEY value entered must be match to the KEY value entered int the listener.ora file!)*
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
)Finally you need to restart your listiner. After restarting there will be a service called "PLSExtProc" in your listener.
This are only examples for extproc configuration, your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora can be differs.
FIRST MAKE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL tnsnames.ora AND listener.ora FILES
For more information please check metalink note 68061.1 "EXTPROC: Creating External Procedures on Windows NT"

paragIf you are in 10g, you can simple call shell script from DBMS_SCHEDULER:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'TEST_SCRIPT',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => 'PATH_OF_YOUR_SCRIPT',
start_date => SYSDATE,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=1',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Shell script from Oracle'
END;

I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file

Hi,
I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file.
For example say: The batch file(test.bat) contains this command: mkdir
I need to pass the name of the directory to the batch file as an argument from My Java program.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat");
How to pass argument to the .bat file from Java now ?
regards,
Krish
Edited by: Krish4Java on Oct 17, 2007 2:47 PM

Hi Turing,
I am able to pass the argument directly but unable to pass as a String.
For example:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat sample ");
When I pass it as a value sample, I am able to receive this value sample in the batch file. Do you know how to pass a String ?
String s1="sample";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat s1 ");
s1 gets passed here instead of value sample to the batch file.
Pls let me know if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Krish

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.

URGENT:- Running a batch file from java program

Author: pkanury
I am trying to execute a batch file from my java program using RunTime and Process . It can execute any dos command except for a batch file. Can anyone throw
some light ?? My code looks like this .....
cmd = "command.com /c X:\\grits\\scripts\\test.bat"; Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
The weird part is that p.waitFor() returns a status of 0 implying that the cmd has been executed successfully. But that is not the case. And my batch file is as simple as - type "ADADA" > junk.txt
Any help would be appreciated.

I think it should work when you use a String[] array
instead of a single String:
String[] cmd = { "command.com", "/C", "D:\\batch\\do.bat" };
Note: If the batchfile creates any output (i.e. files),
they will be stored in the directory of the application
which calls the batch file, not in d:\batch\...
