Check oracle db status from windows batch file?

Hi
any body have a batch to do that
i want to check connecting , not just the service
thanks very much

I have a process in batch files (dos programming )which prepare some files then call oracle store procedures, i need to have a way to check >if the database is up(open) before i start my processingHow can I tell if the light will light without turning on the switch?
While it can be done, the simplest & easiest way is to try to connect for real & trap any error which may result from it not working.

Call Oracle Stored Procedure with Parameters from Windows Batch File

Hi,
I have an oracle procedure that requires two parameters to execute, start date and end date as such:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_orders(
pSTART_DT IN varchar2
, pEND_DT IN varchar2
I want to create a windows batch file to execute the procedure but want to be able to specify the parameters (ie start and end dates) in the batch file as opposed to changing the sql file that the batch file uses to execute the procedure but I don't know what the syntax is. I tried the following but it still doesn't work.
Sql File: call_insert_orders.sql
execute insert_orders('&1','&2');
exit
Batch File:
sqlplus username/password @call_insert_orders.sql %01-jan-2010% %01-jan-2011%
When I execute the batch file, my DOS window still prompts me to enter value 1 so I think it recognizes that there is a variable being used but is not able to fill in the actual value I specify. I'm not an experienced DOS/Windows Batch File person so I'm guessing it's my syntax that's screwed up. There is not a lot of documentation on this subject matter hence my post on this forum. Any helps would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Just try the same DOS command without all the % sign.
In MS-DOS, the % at the beginning and at the end of a string are for variables. Which means your batch is looking for a variable called 01-jan-2010 and a variable called 01-jan-2011, but those are the values you want to pass, not the name of variables.
As they are not defined, nothing is passed to the sqlplus script, and that is why you are prompted for values.
Hope it will help.

Sylvie

Problem in connecting to sqlplus from windows batch file (DOS)

Hi All,
We have a new 10g Oracle database installed on windows server. I am trying to write a windows batch file to
1) Connect to SQLPLUS
2) Execute a script
3) Disconnect from SQLPLUS.
Example File Name:- execsql.bat
SET ORACLE_SID=CAUT
SET SCHEMA_IN=%1
SET PASS=DEV
SET script=%2
sqlplus %SCHEMA_IN%/%PASS%@%ORACLE_SID% @%script%
if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 echo ERROR: %ERRORLEVEL% else echo OK
Now if i run this bat file like :- execsql.bat DEV script1.sql
DEV= schema name,
script1.sql = this file contains select * from dual;
The code runs fine, but if i change dual to dual1 the sql error's out but not able to catch the error in the batch file.
Reason why i would like to catch the error is this batch file would be scheduled through Autosys job scheduler and for autosys any exit code >0 is an error. Please help me in rewriting this batch script.
Thanks
Sam.

Hello,
What if you run this in SQL*Plus before you run the SELECT:
whenever sqlerror exit failure

Installing Oracle 11gR2 client from a batch file and it returns before done

Hello,
While installing Oracle 11gR2 client on XP and 7 from a batch file. When it launches the OUI from the batch file, it returns to the batch file before the installer finishes. So, there is no way for my script to know when the installer is done, or to glean a return code to test for success. This is particularly annoying...
I've also used the "call" command to force my batch file to wait, to no avail. Anyone have any clues about this one?
Thanks in advance!

Srini,
Awesome! Worked like a charm.
Many thanks!

How to call SQL job step by step from windows batch file

Hi ,
I have a SQL agent job [POC_IOD_RunPkgJob] which is being called from bat file with below command.
Could you please tell me how to call only one step of this job, what command I need to mention in the batch file.
SQLCMD -Sabcwi\SQLI01,51565 -E -Q"exec msdb.dbo.sp_start_job [POC_IOD_RunPkgJob]"

Hi RameshDravid,
Regarding your description,though not aware of what is the purposed to call only one step of that job, the below sample can somewhat help to achieve your requirement.
--find the job steps
SELECT
steps.step_id,steps.step_name,steps.subsystem,steps.command
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps steps
JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs jobs
ON steps.job_id = jobs.job_id
WHERE jobs.name = 'youJobName'
--find the command runs in that step, usually that is some command exec stored procedure
SQLCMD -Sabcwi\SQLI01,51565 -E -Q"exec stored procedure found in the above query"
If you have any question, feel free to let me know

Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL

Hi gurus,
Would require your help.Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL??If yes can you give an example for the same or any workaround for the same.

Hi!
Youn need some extproc related entries in you listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file.
*1. In the listener.ora:*
Defining the listener process is done in two parts.
The information contained in each listener differs!!!
The first part is as follows:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc)) <--- *ADD THIS LINE
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhostname)(PORT = 1521))
)The seoncd part is as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = YOUR_GLOBAL_DBNAME)
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <-- THIS IS YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (SID_NAME = YOUR_SID)                            <-- SID
    (SID_DESC =                                              <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)                          <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <--- ADD THIS LINE AND EDIT TO YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (PROGRAM = extproc)                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ENV = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")                  <--- ADD THIS LINE
    )                                                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
)*2. In the tnsnames.ora you need to add the following entry:*
*(The KEY value entered must be match to the KEY value entered int the listener.ora file!)*
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
)Finally you need to restart your listiner. After restarting there will be a service called "PLSExtProc" in your listener.
This are only examples for extproc configuration, your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora can be differs.
FIRST MAKE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL tnsnames.ora AND listener.ora FILES
For more information please check metalink note 68061.1 "EXTPROC: Creating External Procedures on Windows NT"

You didn't specify a database version, but if you are 10g or higher, it's quite straightforward using an external job type in DBMS_SCHEDULER. Funnily enough i'm looking at something similar myself at the moment.
Useful guide to some of the issues here Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files

SQLPLUS from Windows Batch (.bat) Files

I am executing a SQL script from within a windows batch file using the SQLPLUS command.
sqlplus %MAX_ORA_USER%/%MAX_ORA_PASSWORD%@%MAX_ORA_DB% @MAIDIOUT_PS_TEST2.sql
On exit, the SQL returns a code EXIT 0 (Success) or EXIT 2 (Warning).
I want to be able to capture the value of the exit in the WINDOWS batch file and take some action.
QUESTION: Does someone have a code example on how to capture hte EXIT value in the Windows Batch file?
thanks,
Philip

Try one of the following constructs:
IF ERRORLEVEL <x> <command> [ELSE expression]
IF %ERRORLEVEL% == <x> <command> [ELSE expression]
GOTO label_%ERRORLEVEL%
:LABEL_xThe first construct to perform <command> any time the errorlevel is greater or equal to x.
The second construct will perform <command> anytime the errorlevel equals x.
The third construct will jump to the specified label with the value of errorlevel appended to it.

How to check system status from Windows command line?

Does anyone has an idea how to check system status from Windows command line? In UNIX we use startsap check, unfortunately I didn't find an appropriate command provided by SAP.
The only idea we have is to use
tasklist /FI "Username eq SAPService<SID>" | find "disp+work"
which isn't as nice as startsap check.

Hi,
In windows you can use the command
go to profile directory in command prompt and the give the following command to check the status of the instance.
sapstart check pf=START_DVEBMGS<nr>_<hostname>
that means you need to mention start profile or instance profile. So that it will say whether the instance is running or not.
If you want any other information please reply back to me.
Thanks,
Chaitanya.

How to execute a .sql file from a batch file

now i want to automate the script. ie i want this script to run on wednesday & friday @ 5pm without any human interfearance ie with out actually any1 executing this script.
i created a batch file prod.bak with the following lines
@echo off
set oracle_sid=testdb
set oracle_home=d:\oracle\ora92
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba/oracletest@testdb
this batch file when eexecuted connects me to sql prompt.
Now i want to execute my backup script bkp.sql automatically when it is connected to sql prompt.
(i tried with these lines in the above batch file...
call bkp.sql---it just opens the bkp.sql file in notepad & displays the script
start bkp.sql---same as call
connect / as sysdba/pwd@[email protected] --- does not work simply remains a the sql prompt.
At 17:00 /Every:w,f "d:\bkp.sql"---does not work simply remains at the sql promt.)
Can any1 let me know what should i write in the batch file that will execute the bkp.sql file automatically after it gets connected to sql prompt. M using oracle 9i.
I'll manage he time through windows utility of scheduling task.. Let me know how to execute the .sql file from a batch file.
Thanks
Tripti

Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ?

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
(or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here - Transporting Data Across Platforms
(or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
Regards,
DB

HI
his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
2. Start the database in read only mode
3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
4. Check if there are any external objects
5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
9. Execute the Transport Script
10.Change the Database ID
11.Check database integrity
Thank you

How to run 11g Form from a batch file (.bat) !

Hi,
Previously, I run my Form 6i from a batch file (with Windows Schedular Tasks) as below;
E:\orant\bin\ifrun60.exe e:\lock.fmx
This form lock some items on a certain date (with the help of Windows Schedular Task).
How can this possible in Forms 11g ?
Kindly guide !
Regards.
Vick.

Well are you talking about doing that on a free standing/developer machine or are you thinking of on the
server? In any case forms6i was a native application and forms11 is a web application that requires weblogic, even on the developer machine.
I think you will have to start from square one describing what you are trying to do.
Soapbox: I really think if forms "went back" to having a native deployment option it would be highly treasured. Here is a case where we are still running 6i for that reason. We have a situation where they interview clients at another location using a laptop. The laptop form brings up successive question screens, which questions are asked of the clients and their responses recorded. If the interview data is lost we cannot bring these people back and do it over. In the meantime the wifi connecting back to the database server can go bad. It can get over-loaded, it can just crap out. The firewalls on the way can decide rightly or wrongly to time the connection out. There's a bunch of ways the connection can get dropped. So what we do is that form saves a copy of the data to the disk in a file before it tries to submit it to the database, which could fail. So we have a backup. Can't easily do that in 11. I have yet to have gotten webutil to work. It's a mobile option that is becoming popular and forms should do it, have the ability for the form to run independently on the client including an ability to save data and of course if you saved it, people will want to be able to sync it back to the database when the client is reconnected.
