Calling unix scripts in File Adapter

All,
we have a script recindicator.sh in the root of the unix server. This script take 1 parameter.
In the File adapter - "Run Operatning System Command After Message Processing" - we put the following,
recindicator.sh %f
we see the adapter working, but we are not seeing the effects of the script which is supposed to create 2 different files.
Can we run scripts in the "Run Operatning System Command After Message Processing" ? If yes, what is wrong with our configuration?
When we run the script directly on the server, with the parameter - it is working. so no issue in the script.
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes, the script is in XI server. we tried with %F also, it is not working.
At what directory level is the command that we give in the configuration run? is it in the root? or some other SAP folder like - "/SAP/user/..."?
Thanks.

Passing mulitple parameters to unix shell script via File adapter

Hi,
I have the following usecase.
I have a set of files A, B, C, D etc in a directory dir. I also have a EOT ( end of transaction file).
I need to merge this file once the EOT file is present in XI application server ( using NFS with File adpter).
I have a script which can take the following paramters:
1. EOT file name
2. File names for A,B,C,D
3. Directory names.
Is it possible to send muliple parameters to the unix script from the File adapter?
please share any blogs which do so.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
Abhishek

Hi,
You can always call script from file adapter using "OS command" functionality, pass additional parameter like you do in unix for existing script (exact command which you type on unix prompt).
Adapter will simply pass your OS command to operating system, so from XI point of view nothing is changed and it is your script which should take care of parameters.

Calling Unix scripts in ODI

Hi all,
I'm having unix scripts for file validation.How and where to call this Unix scripts in ODI?Please be in steps.
Advance thanks
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
Its very straight forward in ODI.
For your package, click Tools, under Utilities you will find, OSCommand, type the exact path of your script file and make sure your agent should have all access rights to invoke the script.

Shell Scripts with File adapter

Hi Everyone,
Can we use shell scripts in File Adapter of XI.
If yes can someone give me the configuration and any helpful blogs or links.
Helpful answers will be rewarded points.
Thanks,
Rupash K

Hi,
you can just call the script in the File Adapter, before or after XI processing step.
Nevertheless, sometimes it behavior different between to call the script as to typ the command directly on the channel configuration.
Here is the [SAP official document|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/84/e8763c997fda50e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm], it is quite easy to use. Just call the script as if you want to call it on the shell, you have to aware about the path and placeholder which you may want to pass the it as parameter to your script.
Here are some more links

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.

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

Reg: UNIX shell script at File Adapter

Hi all,
I am doing a File to file scenario and using command line arguments in Sending file adapter. I am using UNIX shell script ".sh" file for executing the command.
I gave the following path at "Run OS command before message processing" parameter:
/temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
and this file contains following code:
<b>#!/user/bin/sh cp /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_in.txt /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_input_copy4.txt</b>
I put the source file, FILOSC004_in.txt and shell script files at the respective paths.
If I give "cp" command directly in command line it is working fine. But I could not execute this with shell script. Can any body give me the reason where I gone wrong.
Regards,
Pavani.

Hi,
can you try this,
bash /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
let me know.
hey you can check the blog below to catch the OS errors,

External OS command script in file adapter - return value check possible?

Is it possible to check return value of external OS script execution which is called in the file adapter? We want to see the result in the adapter monitoring. The documentation says: "Message processing is independent of any errors that occur during the execution of a configured operating system command."

Hi Sanjay ,
Seems possible : Try this :

Call unix script within Servlet - need to wait for completetion

Hi,
I have a servlet which grabs some information from my web form and then calls a unix script.
This already works fine and does what i need it to do. I now need to add some functionality where i can get the servlet to wait for the unix script to complete before carrying on and then redirecting back to the user.
the code i have for the current servlet is:
         * EXECUTE THE UNIX COMMAND.
        Runtime   oRuntime =     Runtime.getRuntime();
        Process   oProcess   =     null;
        String[]      cmd          =     {"/bin/sh", "-c", sPath}; // UNIX
         * ERROR CODES 3 = File not found
        try
          oProcess = oRuntime.exec(cmd);
        catch(Throwable t)
          t.printStackTrace();
        }I am assuming i need some sort of wait method to handle this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Graham

ok.. you code is fine.. you can run any shell script or program using the exec() method. if you need to wait till the process finishes then you need to call the method waitFor() in class Process.. the method blocks the parent thread (servlet) till the sub process (your exec'd script or program) terminates.
hope that solves your problem.. :-)
Pls tell me one more thing.. are you using netBeans or Eclipse for executing the programs or you use standalone tomcat to deploy the application. I have problem in execing programs when i deploy in tomcat 5.5 and the same application works fine in netBeans 5.0. if you know pls help me too..
Thanks,

Calling Unix-Script from within Oracle and store stdout/stderr in table

Hi,
What I want to do is:
1. Calling a UNIX script (e.g. hello.sh) (from inside the Database)
hello.sh
echo Hello World!
2. and get the stdout/stderr output back in my Database in a table (e.g. temp_back)
table temp_back
ID stdout stderr
1 Hello World!
I think Number 1 isnt a big problem, but how to get stdout back in DB?
Any solution?
I searched a bit in this Forum and found this Post.
re:Calling Host Command Through Database Procedures or Triggers
This may be what I am searching for, but cant access the Link
Since I am not really fit with UNIX and packages/procedures in Oracle it would be nice if you could post a very detailed answer.
(Please no java)
-What packages do I need? (heard DBMS_OUTPUT would be useful)
-example PL/SQL script
Thanks a lot!
Marcus
Environment:
Oracle 9.2.0 DB

Marcus, if you opened the Java sandbox to access any o/s file, you can call any Unix command, shell script, or program, that the Oracle o/s user has exec privs on.
Just remember that there's a very basic Unix environment when you make the call - the settings in the .profile does not apply. Thus PATH for example is not set. When making the call make sure that the complete path is given. As for the environment, that is a problem as you cannot set that and make the call at the same time.
In that case it is much simpler to rather write a Unix shell script that does all for you. Set the environment. Run the command(s). Format output. Etc.
Then you call that Unix script, via Java, from SQL or PL/SQL. Treat the Unix scripts like the Unix-version of stored procedures for your Oracle application.
Some technical details. When you connect to Oracle, a Unix process services you. This can be either a dedicated server process (servicing only your Oracle session) or a shared server process (from the shared service pool of processes).
In either case, it is a Unix process running as a background process (thus detached from any tty device). PL/SQL and SQL are executed by this process. The Oracle JVM created by your session also lives in this process. When you therefore make o/s calls, these calls are made by this process.
Therefore you are limited to what this process can and can't do. E.g. it runs as the oracle o/s user and will fail on accessing paths and commands does the oracle user does not have privs on. Etc.

Execution of remote script in File Adapter OS Command

Hello.
I'm having issues with a remote script placed on a file adapter which fails to execute in a clustered PI (Version 7.1), running on Windows 2008.
Our current setup is as follows.
- Machine A and Machine B make up a SAP PI Cluster node.
- Machine C is our network file share, used as a sandbox for receiving and sending files.
One given scenario would be having the Cluster picking up a file from a FTP folder (Machine D) and copying it over to a given location in Machine C. This is working without problems in the cluster environment.
Now, a very specific scenario requires that after copying the file (to folder INPUT), a given script shall be executed over the received file and decide which folder should that file be archived, TO_PROCESS or NO_PROCESS folders.
So, Outbound Channel is reading from the FTP, Inbound Channel stores in Machine C and has to run a script after message processing.
The problem here is that the script is stored also in Machine C, so placing the OS Command should refer to a shared path:
Example:
sap-machine-c.gca.ad.root\InboundFiles\INPUT
sap-machine-c.gca.ad.root\InboundFiles\TO_PROCESS
sap-machine-c.gca.ad.root\InboundFiles\NO_PROCESS
sap-machine-c.gca.ad.root\Scripts\procFile.bat
If I give the command of "
sap-machine-c.gca.ad.root\Scripts\procFile.bat %F" on the receiver channel, checking RWB, Communication channel says the command was executed with success but the file doesn't leave the INPUT folder.
The script is know to execute with success from both instances, I have logged into each one of them and executed with RFCUSER in SE38 w/transaction RSBDCOS0.
I have tried to replicate this issue, reducing even the procFile.bat script to just do an "echo" command but still doesn't work (RWB PI says it does).
It seems to me that executing scripts from remote shares is a no go? Does anyone have a previous experience dealing with these cases?
Thanks,
Romeu

Hi all.
After taking some hints from this thread, we have found out that the problem lied some where in the installation part of PI.
We've set up a basic script, local and not remote, and still the system would not execute that command.
The RWB logs showed successful processing but the Application Server logs were full of errors and stack traces regarding the execution of any command. A support note was raised with SAP support in order to trace these errors.
I'm therefore closing this question as the original question is not related with remote scripting.
Thanks all for your help.
Best regards,
Romeu

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.
Anton.

Hi, I think you need something like this:
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program
(program_name => 'sch_program',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => '/home/nobody/input/test_job.sh',
number_of_arguments => 0,
