Calling unix script using oracle forms

we have to call unix script using oracle forms , a trigger in form calls stored procedure on database
that stored procedure on database calls a oracle shared library
but since the only listener account for oracle on our unix server is oralist , whenever a call is made to the unix script from the oracle form , the unix script is executed by oralist user
but issue that we are having now is since oralist is specific for listening connections from orale we dont want to use this user to establish SFTP on it to avoid any issues with oralist
we want the sftp to be established on soem other useraccount , so is it possible to do something so that the script is executed by an account other that oralist.

I'm not a Linux/Unix specialist, but I think this may work: let your database call a shell script that does a su command before running the actual script:
su - other_account
your_script.sh

Calling UNix Script from portal Form

Has anyone conquered this issue through jav or plsql. I need to call a unix script from the portal form when I select the insert button.

I have several very convoluted ways which all work, but I have always thought there should be more straightfwd ways. Fundamentally the easiest way to call something from the Insert button is to add some PL/SQL code before (or after) the "doInsert();" call in the Insert Button event handler.
What seems to be lacking is the ability to get from pl/sql to the o/s. So until we know how to do that you have to call a method in Java to execute o/s commands - specifically you can use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd); where Runtime is a class in java.lang, and cmd is the actual o/s command (script or whatever).
How to call this Java is then where you have several options:
1. Compile this piece of Java into the Oracle DB as a SP.
2. Deploy this piece of Java within a Java servlet on a 9iAS instance. Then have another SP call this servlet using the utl_http package (begin_request and other sp's within package).
Which options would depend on several factors including your preference but most importantly whether you have a DB or a 9iAS instance on the machine where you want to execute the script. If you have neither you have a problem. In such cases I have used a standalone OC4J container which has a very small footprint.
As I said these methods are all quite convoluted and if anyone else has anything better I would like to know (but they work quite reliably).
Cheers.

Thanks
GM

Thank you for your reply. I was reading on the metalink that we could use the to call the java script from oracle Forms 10g (Doc ID 265863.1)
Example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_blank');
I tried it but it did not open the any window as it claims. Am I missing anything? Is there any IE related setting which I need to modify for the above to work?

Calling Sql*Loader from oracle Form builder

How do i call sql* loader from my forms to import the external data in different formats into my existing database?
Specify the flexibility of sql* loader to import external data from .txt files or .xls files.
Would be thankful if certain examples are given along with the answer.

Hi,
1. First you have to create seperate ctl (Control files) which maps to different file formats
2. Using Oracle Forms,
2a) You can use the 'HOST' command to execute the command line ie. In this case executing
SQL*Loader script
2b) You also have the feature in ORACLE forms to read text files and load the data into
ORACLE db.
This can be achieved by using TEXT_IO package which comes with ORACLE Forms.
Hope this helps

How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

Hi,
can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
Regards,
Ak

One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
2)put the mapping
The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
DECLARE
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
I hope this helps.

URGENT!!! calling crystal reports from oracle forms 10g

Is it possible to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g?
Can someone help to answer how, if there is a solusion, to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g.
Please provide codes with details showing step by step.

hi
try something like this.
DECLARE
charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
numWinHandle NUMBER;
BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);

'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

How to call unix script/command in ODI

Hello Gurus,
Please let me know how to call unix script/command in ODI?
Thanks
Shridhar

you can call shell script using the OS command found in Package.
Step 1. Drag the OS Command in the Packgae
Step 2. In the Text mentiond call the script say for ex sh /opt/path/script.sh
Step 3. Execute.
Note : Make sure the User through which ODI is triggering does have the required permission to execute shellscript , also always provide the full path , since scripts are execute from the oracldi/bin folder so its necessary to provide the complete path of the script location.
Hope this helps.

Do you have a requirement to use MS-Outlook from the Client or simple send email to a list of recipients? If the requirement is simply to send email to a list of recipients, I suggest you use UTL_SMTP from the database to send your email rather than OLE to Outlook on the Users computer. Search OTN or the forums for 'MAILDEMO' and you will find many examples on how to send email from the database.
Hope this helps.

Try disable warnings:
Visual Basic 6 (VBA)
OlSecurityManager.ConnectTo OutlookApp
OlSecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = True
On Error Goto Finally
'... any action with protected objects ...
Finally:
OlSecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = False
If you find correct syntax with OLE2 post your code ;)

How use oracle forms with oracle database in a local computer network(client -server homogenious network)

Hello experts,
                     I am new in Oracle forms.I am using oracle forms 11g with weblogic server 10.3.5 and oracle database 11g at windows 7 platform.
I want to call my oracle forms(main login form) from different computers(windows7) connected in a local network.My oracle database is installed in a server computer.I am not talking about oracle forms hosting in internet.I want to deploy oracle forms in a local computer network connected via LAN cable or wi-fi.
thank You.

aaditya

In most cases you can copy the same entry found in the tnsnames.ora file used by the database. In the database home, the file can be found in \network\admin. Open the file and you should find something like this:
yourAlias =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.100)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
So in the above, you would need to set the alias (this can be anything you like), the IP address or hostname of the machine where the database is running, the port number used by the db listener, and the service name used by the db. Most of this will already be set for you if you are copying from the database tnsnames.ora. So you should be able to just copy and paste. More information about the tnsnames.ora file can be found in the db documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/network.111/b28317/tnsnames.htm
