Calling a batch file from PL/SQL

Is there a way to call a windows batch file from within a stored
program in Oracle?
I need to check for error records in a table and if exists, I
would like to call a batch file that invokes mail server and
sends an error notification to a designated person..
Thanks in advance

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"

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.
Useful guide to some of the issues here Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files

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

Calling nested Batch files from Java

Hi,
I have a java program which loops through a list of batch files, executing each one. This works fine. My problem is that each batch file I execute contains a call to execute a further batch file.
The second(nested) batch file never gets run. The java program completes sucessfully though. Any ideas of a way around this?
Code:
while (batFileToken.hasMoreTokens()){
    String batFileName = batFileToken.nextToken();
    Process process = load.exec("cmd.exe /c "+batFileName);
    process.waitFor();
}Each batFileName it executes contains the below command:
call test.battest.bat never executes.

Check this link..
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
the way to make sure process is completed.. is
try{
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(optimizer.exe);
StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
errorGobbler.start();
outputGobbler.start();
int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
System.out.println("ExitValue: " + exitVal);
catch (IOException ex1) {
System.out.println("Error in Starting Optimizer");
catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
class StreamGobbler extends Thread {
InputStream is;
String type;
OutputStream os;
StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type) {
this(is, type, null);
StreamGobbler(InputStream is, String type, OutputStream redirect) {
this.is = is;
this.type = type;
this.os = redirect;
public void run() {
try {
PrintWriter pw = null;
if (os != null)
pw = new PrintWriter(os);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line = null;
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null) {
if (pw != null)
pw.println(line);
System.out.println(type + ">" + line);
if (pw != null)
pw.flush();
catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
}

Help with calling a batch file from projector

Hi all. I have been asking a fair number of questions here recently and have been very pleased with the responses, so here is one more for you. Hopefully I can get another solution. :]
I have a flash project acting like a menu and being published as an .exe (projector). In this file, I have a button with the following code:
button1.onRelease=function(){
fscommand("exec", "openfiles.bat");
I have an fscommand folder (in the same directory as my flash file) which contains the openfiles.bat, with one line:
start myfile.txt
myfile.txt is also located in the fscommand folder. When I simply click on this batch file and run it, the text file opens as it should. However, when I click the button in my flash file, a command prompt window flashes too quickly to see with some sort of error message. It says something about not finding a certain directory and defaulting to the windows directory. I'm assuming it cannot find either my batch file or my text file. I am under the impression that as long as everything is in the fscommand folder it should work properly. Can anyone offer me advice? Thanks!

How to pass arguments to a batch file from java code

Hi
I have a batch file (marcxml.bat) which has the following excerpt :
@echo off
if x==%1x goto howto
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; %1 %2 %3
goto end
I'm calling this batch file from a java code with the following line of code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat");
so ,that invokes the batch file.Till that point its ok.
since the batch file accpets arguments(%1 %2 %3) how do i pass those arguments to the batch file from my code ...???
%1 is a classname : for ex: gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC
%2 is the name of the input file for ex : C:/Downloads/Marcxml/source.xml
%3 is the name of the output file for ex: C:/Downloads/Marcxml/target.mrc
could someone help me...
if i include these parameters too along with the above line of code i.e
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\source.xml C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\target.mrc") ;
I get the following error :
Exception in thread main java.lang.Noclassdef foundError: c:Downloads\marcxml\source/xml
could some one tell me if i'm doing the right way in passing the arguments to the batch file if not what is the right way??

1 - create a java class (Executer.java) for example:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class Executer {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(args);
               Class<?> c = Class.forName(args[0]);
               Class[] argTypes = new Class[] { String[].class };
               Method main = c.getDeclaredMethod("main", argTypes);
               // String[] mainArgs = Arrays.copyOfRange(args, 1, args.length); //JDK 6
               //jdk <6
               String[] mainArgs = new String[args.length - 1];
               for (int i = 0; i < mainArgs.length; i++) {
                    mainArgs[i] = args[i + 1];
               main.invoke(null, (Object) mainArgs);
               // production code should handle these exceptions more gracefully
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NoSuchMethodException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IllegalAccessException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InvocationTargetException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
2 - create a .bat file:
@echo off
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; Executer %TARGET_CLASS% %IN_FILE% %OUT_FILE%3 - use set command to pass variable:
Open MS-DOS, and type the following:
set TARGET_CLASS=MyTargetClass
set IN_FILE=in.txt
set OUT_FILE=out.txt
Then run your .bat file (in the same ms dos window)
Hope that Helps

It's your if statement. Why do you think it could be happening?

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

How to call one .sql file from other .sql

I am trying to call no of .sql files from one .sql file.
But it gives me error in SQL*PLUS that unable to open file.
Suggest me solution.
Thanks
Chanda

Are the sql files in the current directories where sqlplus has been started ?
If not, did you give the full path name for the called sql files when calling them from sqlplus ?
Could you give us the complete sqlplus command that you use to call your files and the physical location of the called files with the exact error message ?

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.
