Calling linux / unix shell scripts from APEX

Hi -- I'm doing some prototyping, and would like to try calling a unix shell script on the server from within APEX.
Is this possible? Maybe thru Javascript? Other ways? Not sure if it's possible thru pl/sql.
FYI, I'm attempting to check username/password specified at login to see if it's a valid login
to another database (also specified at login). If there's an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear it!
We're highly motivated to have a single apex app work on multiple databases -- largely because of a lack of
administration resources on the other databases. All databases are accessible via database links from
the apex server (the links are necessary to implement other business rules), and I know I can get
the DML working. Powers that be prefer that Database Account authentication (or a facsimile thereof)
be used. I suspect I'm opening myself up to lots of criticism by disclosing this ... :)
Thanks for any ideas,
Carol

R -- If I understand you correctly, a pl/sql process in APEX could invoke a java program on the server. Is that correct?
If so, is there any reason it couldn't just call a unix shell script? Seems they're both just executables recognized by the OS....
I know I called unix scripts from embedded sql a billion years ago, but don't recall the method for doing that. What is
the syntax I'd use in apex / pl/sql?
thanks,
Carol

Error while calling java program from ABAP

Hi Experts,
We are trying for RFC inbound scenario.
We followed the below blog
/people/gregor.wolf3/blog/2004/08/26/setup-and-test-sap-java-connector-outbound-connection
We are working with SAP JCO 3.0.2
We are getting the error : 'STFC_CONNECTION' could not be found in the server repository.
After I run the Java server program if I execute the RFC destination directly from SM 59 it is showing successful messages.
If I stop the java program then this RFC is failing. Based on this we concluded that RFC to Java connection is working fine.
But as mentioned in blog if we call the RFC Destination from ABAP program it is giving the below error,
'STFC_CONNECTION' could not be found in the server repository.
If we test the RFC destination using RFC_TRUSTED_CHECK standard FM we are getting the below error.
'RFCPING' could not be found in the server repository.
We create the RFC destination of Type : TCP/IP as exactly mention in the blog.
Please help us in resolving this issue.
Thanks
Prince

Pabi,
Using the RFC connection,we can establish a link between Java and SAP.
Afterwards,hope we can call Java program from ABAP.
Below is the sample piece of code to establish RFC connection(link) between Java and SAP.

      RESPTEXT LIKE SY-LISEL,
      ECHOTEXT LIKE SY-LISEL.

This depends on the version of your Netweaver Java AS. If you are running 7.0, you will have to use the Jco framework. The Jco framework is deprecated since 7.1 though. If you want to build a RFC server in 7.1 or higher, it is adviced that you set it up through JRA.

Call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure

We need to call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure
i.e. the control should come back to the procedure once the script completes. Can any body help to achieve this ?

There are various ways in achieving this.
For Example, you can call a PRO*C-Library residing on the database server.
This requires a PL/SQL library to be generated and some changes to the Listener configuration.
It is also possible to implement a java procedure on the database being invoked by a PL/SQL wrapper class.
In this way (and if used right) there is also granularity regarding the filestructure permissions given and it may be called during a Forms or other PL/SQL session.
The article below explains a more generic approach how to invoke shell commands from within an Oracle Instance.
Be careful with this, because it really works ;)
Refer to :

Using an external shell script rather than a main class

I've just started to use Creator and I'm like to replace the "Run" function with a call to a shell script. The projects are all libraries (no main class) so the shell script will copy the jar to a another location and perform some other tasks such as starting/stopping services.
I've tried uncommenting the target tag example in the build.xml file but that had no effect.
Any ideas?

Create an SAP Web Service Consumer (calling External Sharepoint Web Service from ABAP)

hi all,
i am trying to
Create an SAP Web Service Consumer (calling sharepoint Web Service from ABAP) using blog given on following link
Create an SAP Web Service Consumer (calling External Web Service from ABAP)
but when i am using my url at the end of step 3, i am getting error as follows:
i dont want to use local file option. Can anyone help me in this??
thanks in advance
regards,
SDS

Hi SDS,
you recieved a http 404 error when trying to access the Sharepoint Web service. Http 404 indicates that the resource is not reachable (cf. HTTP 404 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There could be different reasons for that. I'd suggest rubble checking the URL of the Web service first. Try to access it from a browser on you desktop. If the URL is correc. Most likely the SAP system is not able to connect to the URL. This could, for example, be due to some firewall restrictions. You should ask a SAP Basis colleague if they are able to access the URL of the Web service from the server on which the SAP system is running.

Call Java Program from ABAP Program

Dear all,
In our scenario, we need to let ABAP call services provided by a standalone Java program. From online help I found some overview introduction and I'd make the called program a registered program in a RFC with type "T" (TCP/IP Connection). Can anybody give some concrete documentation? A step-by-step guide would be greatly appreciated.

CALL A JAVA PROGRAM FROM ABAP -- NEED HELP

Hi all,
Can somebody tell me how to call a java xml code from an ABAP program? First let me know if at all, is it possible to call a java program from SAP that is from an ABAP executable progam?
Please suggest me in this. All your inputs in this is valuable to me and highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vaishnavi Varadarajan

Hi,
Previous explanation i gave is not correct.
ABAP web services expose the function modules outside R/3, so that other technologies like Java can consume that webservice and read the data in R/3 using the function module.
For your requirement, create a Java web service to read the XML. Consume this webservice in ABAP. This way you can read the XML from ABAP.
