Calling UNIX Sheel Script from transformation

All,
Does anyone know how to call a UNIX shell script from a transformation (probably a function) using it's return value to determine success or failure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Chris

In the package window, put "OS Command" from the toolbox.
Provide the command parameters to this tool in form of "/path/to/script/ftp_ss.sh"

Can i call unix shell script from B2B callout.

Hi,
We had a requirement to invoke a unix shell script from B2B callout implemented class. Here is the code in implementation class:

CalloutMessage cmIn = (CalloutMessage)input.get(0);
FileOutputStream fos = null;

File outFile = new File(inputFile);
String str =cmIn.getBodyAsString();
fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);

out.close();
String shellFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/dg.sh";
String cmd[] = new String[] { shellFile, inputFile, outputFile };

We were able to execute the unix shell script from standalone java class with same code. But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.
Is it possible to invoke unix shell script from B2B callout?
Please give inputs.
Regards,

Though it's not a good idea to invoke shell scripts from java callout but technically it will work.
But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.What is not working as expected? Any error in the log (server-diagnostic.log or server.out)?

Call Unix Shell Script From OBIEE

Hi All,
Is it possible to do a call to a Unix Shell Script with the Action Framework from OBIEE.
Thanks in Advance

I dont think so but we can go for it instead of BI side. Try to port the same functionality on shell script side, so that the script can identify your report using tail of nqquery log and execute the rest of your lines in shell script.
This can doable and works as expected. If at all you are going with my suggestion you can go for a small key word to identify your report instead of that lengthy logical query.
Pls mark if helps

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

How can I call unix shell script from database using triggers

Hi everyone,
can anybody help me to solve my problem.
we have one table and records are getting inserted into table.
when the record is inserted with 'C',I need to fetch that record-id which is primary key and then by passing that id as an argument I need to execute a shell script which is there in Unix using triggers.
please note DB and Scripts are in different servers.

please note DB and Scripts are in different servers.
PL/SQL can only interact with objects on the local DB Server.
PL/SQL can initiate OS local script via any of the following mechanisms: EXTERNAL PROCEDURE, JAVA, DBMS_SCHEDULER
The local script then will need to launch the remote script.

If you are on 10g you can also use DBMS_SCHEDULER. See Re: Excute Unix command Using PL SQL

paragIf you are in 10g, you can simple call shell script from DBMS_SCHEDULER:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'TEST_SCRIPT',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => 'PATH_OF_YOUR_SCRIPT',
start_date => SYSDATE,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=1',

comments => 'Shell script from Oracle'

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 ;)

Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

Run Unix command / Run Unix shell script from Forms9i

Hi,
I have a requirement to run Unix command and Unix shell scripts from Forms9i.
I know HOST command cannot be used directly. I also know we can create some JAVA stored procedure to perform the task, but I don't want to create any JAVA stored procedure as there are some security concerns.
Please point me towards any other way to achieve the same.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kumar

There is no reason why HOST can't be used. This is what it is for. As for using Java, it is not a stored procedure that you would be using, it would be imported Java (imported into the form).
The best way to use the HOST command is to call a script (.sh) rather than calling a Unix command directly. This is because HOST will not pick up environment variables set at the system level. So the script would first need to set the necessary environment variables then call the desired commands.

User defined workflow calling unix shell script

Hi
I have defined a workflow in OWB 10GR2 which calles a user defined object before calling the actual mapping.
The user defined object calls a unix shell script which sets things right in the shell before the mapping can run.
When executing the shell script from a unix shell myself it does exactly what I want
However if I call the same script from workflow it does not recognize any of the commands not even internal shell commands like ls, touch.
I've created a small test.sh script
#! /bin/bash
ls -l > listing.txt
Created a flow with a user_defined object of which property is set:
COMMAND.Value /home/oracle/test.sh
If I then deploy and start the flow get the following:
PF_WEB_00:TEST Success
/home/oracle/test.sh: line 2: ls: command not found
Anyone has any clue why this is or what I'm doing wrong?
Geert

Hi Lew,
Thanks for the reply.
This basically confirms what I've figured out so far.
I noticed I was able to get my script running by using absolute paths everywhere, after which my only problem was it could not resolve the TNS.
To bypass this I ended up copying all the path settings out of the .profile of my oracle user into my script after which the script ran fine.
At least now I know for sure what's causing it and that by making my scripts a bit more extensive then usual I can do what I please :)
