Calling a Perl script from a BSP application

Hi all,
Is it possible to call a Perl program that resides on a different server from a BSP application. If so, how do I do it.
Thanks,
Shiraz.

If I understand correctly what the script does then when you type the script by itself into the webbrowser do you get a response? If it works that way then you can quite easily use something like this:
      <htmlb:gridLayout columnSize = "1"
                        rowSize    = "1"
                        height     = "600"
                        width      = "100%" >
        <htmlb:gridLayoutCell columnIndex = "1"
                              rowIndex    = "1" >
          <phtmlb:matrix width = "100%"
                         height = "100%" >
            <phtmlb:matrixCell col = "1"
                               row = "1" />
            <iframe id="MyIFrame" src="<%= lv_url %>" border="0" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" />
          </phtmlb:matrix>
        </htmlb:gridLayoutCell>
      </htmlb:gridLayout>
See: is it possible to define xhtml:tabscript width by using %
Just give your perl script as the URL for the iframe. Again this only works if calling the perl script in the browser works.

I haven't done this myself, but it seems like it is possible in Tomcat.
You can configure Tomcat to handle .cgi calls (it does this via a CGI servlet)
http://www.ftponline.com/javapro/2003_03/online/perl_teden_03_18_03/
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/cgi-howto.html
Once this is set up, theoretically you should be able to then use requestdispatcher and forward/include a cgi script to invoke the perl.
I don't know if you are using Tomcat or not though... :-)

Calling a perl script from stored procedure

Can anyone tell me how to call/run a perl script from a stored procedure? If you have a sample code, please include it.
Thanks in advance

If you have a web server setup that runs perl, you can do this by using the utl_http package...Here is some code I use to run a perl script and print the results to a web page on our site.
The in_URL parameter is the address of the perl code(i.e. http://website/path/perlscript?param1=value1&param2=value2 etc)
PROCEDURE call_perl(in_URL VARCHAR2) IS
/* This is setup to allow a perl program to be submitted as a batch program
using the standard Portal batch program.
Sometimes these jobs take a long time to run, so the timeout value must
be set to a large value. The default timeout is 60 seconds, which is not long enough. */
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
value VARCHAR2(1024);
BEGIN
req := utl_http.begin_request(replace(utl_url.escape(replace(in_URL,'%3A',':')),CHR(13)));
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(req, 18000); -- Set timeout to 5 hours for this specific request.
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
LOOP
utl_http.read_line(resp, value, TRUE);
htp.p(value);
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
EXCEPTION WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
utl_http.end_response(resp);
WHEN utl_http.init_failed THEN
htp.p('INIT FAILED');
WHEN utl_http.request_failed THEN
htp.p('REQUEST FAILED');
htp.p(NVL(utl_http.get_detailed_sqlerrm,' No more detail available.'));
END;
If you don't have a web server setup, I don't know offhand how you could do this.

Executing a perl script from within java application

Hi,
Does anyone knows a way to execute a perl script from within java.
---kirk

Runtime.exec("perl myscript.pl");
Of course whether that "works" depends on what the script does and where the java program runs.

Passing paramters and calling a PCUI screen from a BSP Application

Hi,
We have developed a custom BSP application which displays a list of Opportunities in a HTMLB table view based on a search criteria.
When I click on a particular opportunity no., I should call a PCUI screen which should display that particular opportunity details.
Any help is greatly apperciated.
Thanks,
Vasu.

You are going to have to be more specific in what you want.
First I would read the following pieces of info. They will help you with general problems, also with creating an Iterator and read the select rows of a table.
BSP Element - Dynamic tableView with Internal Table
<a href="/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2003/10/31/bsp-programming-htmlb-tableview-iterator">BSP Programming: HTMLB TableView Iterator</a>
Just shooting from the hip I am assuming you are clicking on a selected ROW in the tableView where you defined the tableView with <i>selectionMode="SINGLESELECT"</i> and <i>onRowSelection="MySelectEvent"</i> then on the OnInputProcessing Event Handler you read the selected row (see <a href="TableView and selected row)
So and of course once you read the selected row in the OnInputProcessing event handler you can do further porocessing.
However if you are wanting to provide the user with the ability to click an icon or text link in the row then please refer to the Iterator for that.

Can I call a perl script from a rule?

Hi experts.
I have a need to map characters
� -> a
� -> o
� -> a
� -> e
� -> u and so on..
to build an email address from peoples names.
looking at what XPRESS functions are available it would take a month to write. The manual warns against using javascript, so my options are limited.
perl seems a natural but is it possible?

Guys,
Not being a java-programmer i still like to share this piece of code that will solve the initial Scandinavian Chars -> Non-Scandi ones...
I wrote a quick static java method that does the trick.
package se.inserve;
import java.util.regex.*;
public final class Utils {
public static final String code_id = "$Id: Inserve Utils,v 0.2 2005/07/23 21:10:16 A.A Exp $";
public static String replaceSweChar(String input) {
        input = input.replaceAll("�", "a");
        input = input.replaceAll("�", "A");
        input = input.replaceAll("�", "a");
        input = input.replaceAll("�", "A");
        input = input.replaceAll("�", "o");
        input = input.replaceAll("�", "O");
        input = input.replaceAll("�", "e");
        input = input.replaceAll("�","E");
        return input;
The code is compiled as a class file, stuffed in a jar file (along with some additional junk) and thrown into the appserver's $WSHOME/WEB-INF/lib directory.
The method is invoked according to below. e.g via a Custom Tabbed User Form.
          <Field name='global.email'>
            <Display class='Label'>
              <Property name='title' value='_FM_EMAIL'/>
            </Display>
            <Derivation>
              <block trace='true'>
                <defvar name='prefix'>
                  <concat>
                    <ref>global.firstname</ref>
                    <s>.</s>
                    <ref>global.lastname</ref>
                  </concat>
                </defvar>
                <cond>
                  <notnull>
                    <ref>prefix</ref>
                  </notnull>
                  <concat>
                    <invoke name='replaceSweChar' class='se.inserve.Utils'>
                      <ref>prefix</ref>
                    </invoke>
                    <s>@xyzcompany.com</s>
                  </concat>
                </cond>
              </block>
            </Derivation>
          </Field>

Hi,
Thanks for the reply from everyone.
The attached is my code to call Perl script and after calling this, I need to query the Perl Script by sending command like @help. Do they have a way to query the Perl script by sending command like @help and get the return result.
I think Joseph you are right, but how do I get the return result if I invoke it in a separate dos session.

Call PERL script from JAVA

I am facing a problem in running a PERL script in JAVA in UNIX box..
I am able to call ther perlscript.
Perl script has
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
print "\nEnter Your Name :";
$name = <>;
print "\nYour Name is : $name\n";
exit 0;
Perl script request for the INPUT(name) .
My Java program is
File perlfile = new File("test.pl");
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("perl "+perlfile);
Here is the problem tat IT IS says error =2 ..What has to be the solution so tat i can CALL PERL SCRIPT as similiar to running it separatly in prompt { >perl test.pl }
PLEASE help me on this....

In the PERL SCRIPT (test.pl)
LINE 1 : #! /usr/local/bin/perl
LINE 2 : print "\nEnter Your Name :"; .
LINE 3 : $name = <>;
LINE 4 : print "\nYour Name is : $name\n";
LINE 5 : exit 0;
When i run this script in perl test.pl in prompt (UNIX BOX), i am gettin the request for name "Enter Your Name:____ " but when i call this script from Java it doesn't request for name and moreover the process doesnt ends (use ctrl+c to come out of the process).When i come out forcefully it shows the ERROR=2.
My requirement is such tat need to call a PERL SCRIPT from java so tat java process give the control to PERL script and it will continue the process..
Sample scenario:
Java move a file and store it in a new FOLDER
MY perl script will read the file in new FOLDER.
here the perl script will get the file name for processing... My issue comes here .$name is not be prompted while calling thro java..

How to call external Perl routines from Pl/SQL - Urgent

Available software in the Test Environment:
1. Sun Unix 2.8
2. Oracle 8.1.7 ( 8i)
3. Perl 5
Iam trying to call/execute perl scripts from PL/SQL using the DEMO_RDBMS.mk. I am able to call C scripts from PL/SQL, but actually want to call Perl scripts.
The steps followed for for C are -
1. Create and compile a simple C program to execute a unix command (eg., touch a file).
2. Make a shared library of the above compiled program (object), i.e., load the compiled object module into a dynamic load library.
3. Declare the above library in Oracle using SQL*Plus.
4. Define a PL/SQL function or procedure to call the external routine.
5. Test the external routine.
The above steps run good for a C program, but step 2 fails when run for a Perl script.
When I tried to use the following command for step 2 -
make -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk extproc_callback \
SHARED_LIBNAME=cmd_lib.so \
OBJS=tst_cmd.pl
got the following error -
ld: fatal: file tst_cmd.pl: unknown file type.
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written t cmd_lib.so
*** Error code 1
This gives me an indication that demo_rdbms.mk does not understand/interpret Perl scripts. Going through the demo_rdbms.mk suggests the same.
My questions is - How do we call external Perl scripts/routines from PL/SQL ??
Do I have to get a different version of "demo_rdbms.mk" ?
PS: The perl scripts used above (tst_cmd.pl) is error free and works as intended in the unix environment.

Iam trying to call/execute perl scripts from PL/SQL using the DEMO_RDBMS.mk. I am able to call C scripts from PL/SQL, but actually want to call Perl scripts. Well, C is a "compiler" language and Perl is interpreted. In a sense, C is not "scripts".
When I tried to use the following command for step 2 -
make -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk extproc_callback \
SHARED_LIBNAME=cmd_lib.so \
OBJS=tst_cmd.pl
got the following error -
ld: fatal: file tst_cmd.pl: unknown file type.
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written t cmd_lib.soI guess this compiles an extproc "stub" with your object file, generating an external procedure. So the object file really needs to be an object file :-)
My questions is - How do we call external Perl scripts/routines from PL/SQL ??I'd guess you need an embedded Perl interpreter in the external procedure.
Not much help though I'm afraid :-/
Cheers
Fredrik

Are you able to run that perl script at DOS command line?
Did you call the perl script directly from the java proc or you put the perl command line in a DOS .BAT scirpt and called that from the java proc?

How to call BSP pages from a BSP application of another package

Hi,
I have a BSP application in one package and I want to call pages from another BSP application in a different package.
Is it possible? How it would have to do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You cannot call a page fragment in a seperate window or seperately in the same window...
Page fragment is used only for including a fragment in your page....
It is not a seperate page..!
To call a page fragment, you have to use the include directive...
eg :
<%@include file="Carrier_report_logo.htm" %>
Hope this helps.

Calling PERL script from scheduler

Hello All,
I am trying to call PERL script from dbms_scheduler which makes the database connection using DBD module to read some values to perform the operation. My scheduler job kept failing with the following error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
STANDARD_ERROR="install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file
It can't open libclntsh.so.10.1 file when I run the job, I guess because in job session, it creates a new shell and doesn't inherit the .profile and none of the environmental variables get set. When I run the PERL script manually it works because of all the env variables, so I put all those variables from my .profile into PERL script itself using ENV function but it still doesn't work, failed with very same error. And yes I do set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory. Moreover, if I run the PERL script manually from a shell where I dont inherit .profile, it fails with very same error, so it is related to the environment issues but I have no idea how to fix it. I read somewhere the setting those env variable in PERL script itself doesn't help because by the time PERL get executed all the compilers are already initialized and and they don't use those environement variables anymore then. So the question is how to make it work?
I would really appreciate if someone can help me fixing this, it's gonna change my life here :)
DB Version: 10.2.0.2 (also tested on 11R2, same problem)
OS: SUSE Linux 64 bit

How to call PERL Scripts from JavaFX?

Hi to all,
Does any one knows how to call a perl script with or without parameters from JavaFX?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards.

If I need to pass some parameters to the perl script, how I do so?
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(['cmd', '/c', 'start', "c:\\helloperl.pl"]);
What's 'cmd', '/c', 'start'
The cmd stands for command prompt from xp and prior and /c is stands for the command to be passed to command promt.
I don't have good experience of perl but if it's like java then you can pass the parameter like this
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(['cmd', '/c', 'start', "c:\\helloperl.pl param1 param2"]); Thanks,
narayan
