Configuring Shell Script

I am a newbie to Shell Scripting.
I am trying to set up a Unix Resource on my IDM system.
I have a Test Machine (which is Remote, of course). Naturally, the machine is Unix-based. Within this machine is a Unix Database, which is MySql-based.
On this machine, I created a User (complete with full Administrator rights and privileges).
And, to this user's Home Directory, I added certain a scripts which is meant for "*Creating a new User"* in the Unix Database. This script is written in PERL language.
I created the Shell Resource, by using the IDM sample Shell Script files (the ones located in the IDM sample-folder). Naturally, I modified certain attributes, removed others, etc, etc.
My problem is : the Get Resource Action and Get Result Handler.
These two things are MANDATORY when configuring Shell Script. I have absolutely no idea how to write those scripts.
I have searched everywhere online (sun docs, forums, even google).
Could anyone please give me an idea of how to code/write the script for those Actions?
Thanks

Thanks for your replies.
I was able to get the "Create User" process to work. What I did was design a custom-script which is suited to my own Unix environment.
t worked (or, it seemed to work).
In IDM, i got the following error :

From what is written there, I could see that the user was INDEED created. (Just to be sure, I checked my Unix machine. And, yes, the user was created. I also checked the MySQL database, and the user is there, too)
However, I keep getting the above error in IDM.
I can't figure out any explanation besides the fact that, perhaps, this is because I do not have a RESULT HANDLER script in place yet.
And, this is where my problem is : some documentation on Shell Script say that Result Handlers are needed only for two Actions : GetUser and GetAllUsers.
However, other documents claim that Result Handlers are needed for ALL resource actions. (In other words, if you have a Create User resource action, then you must have a Create-User result handler).
I don't even know which of these claims is true.
Any help, please?

Configuring Shell Script Resource

I am trying to configure a Shell Script Resource on my IDM Instance (8.1)
So far, I only wish to "Test the Configuration", just to make sure that the IDM is able to CONNECT successfully to the Unix Machine, before I proceed to configure the Resource Handlers and Scripts.
Whenever I press the "*Test Configuration*" button, I keep getting this error :
Test connection failed for resource(s):
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error attempting to decrypt: Input length not multiple of 8 bytes
I have searched everywhere online (even Google), but can't find a solution, or even a REASON for this problem (((

reenter the password on Resource Parameters page and save it. Test the connection. If error still there post the stack trace from app server log here.

Configuring Shell Script Resource on IDM

Hi all,
I am in the process of configuring a Shell Script Resource on my IDM system.
I used the Shell-Script-Resource-Object.xml (which is provided by IDM in the Samples folder).
So far, everything worked fine. I set up the parameters, tested the "Test Configuration" button, and it was successful.
The next phase is to proceed with the basic tasks (such as : create user, update user, delete user, etc)
This is where my problem lies.
The IDM manuals do not say anything about how this should be done. Neither do any of Sun's reference material (perhaps, I'm looking in the wrong place??)
I know that the "Resource Actions" should contain the scripts themselves. But, there's no mention of how those scripts should be configured.
The scripts themselves reside on the UNIX machine, which is where they should be. But, how should I invoke them?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

OK.
I created an entirely new script, which allows me to CAPTURE the data (parameters) from IDM, and use them to create a new user.
It worked (or, it seemed to work).
In IDM, i got the following error :

Shell Script Adapter - getting errors while configuring

Hi,
I am trying to configure a shell script adapter for one of my AIX resource.
the following are the values I gave to test the configuration
1. host
2. tcp port (22)
3. login user
4. password
5. login shell prompt (#)
6. connection type SSH
with these values, I tried to test the configuration, I get the following errors,
Test connection failed for resource(s):
Shell Script: Failed to find 'useradd' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin' Shell Script: Failed to find 'usermod' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin' Shell Script: Failed to find 'userdel' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin' Shell Script: Failed to find 'groupadd' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin' Shell Script: Failed to find 'groupmod' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin' Shell Script: Failed to find 'groupdel' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin'
is this a privilege issue?
please let me know so that I can get the appropriate privilege from my sysadm to proceed further.
thanks.

Hi, thanks for your response.
I got sudo access as root to the AIX resource.
Initially, NOPASSWD was set for my sudo privilege. using that I tried configuring the adapter, but I got errors like "Script failed waiting for "ASSWORD:" in response ",)#+(:" . I looked at the forums and was informed that I would need to 'UN-SET' the NOPASSWD attribute. I got that attribute un-set . but now I get the error
WLP_SmartScript_Original: Failed to find 'groupadd' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin' WLP_SmartScript_Original: Failed to find 'groupmod' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin' WLP_SmartScript_Original: Failed to find 'groupdel' in the path '/usr/bin /etc /usr/sbin /usr/ucb /home/eumusr/bin /usr/bin/X11 /sbin . /usr/local/bin'
Not sure why Sun should check this. these commands are not part of AIX. right? can you please tell me where I am going wrong?

How to call a shell script from a java code

Hello can any one suggest me how to call a shell script from a java program that takes three parameters.
i have a shell script (msp_restore_gui) when i run this script in the command line in a RHEL5 ,SUSE10 and Debian machine it works fine .I even tested to call it from a java program and it also worked fine but when i used the same in a J2ee application where the user when clicks the restore button in a webserver this inturn sends the request to a java file named BackupManager.java where i call the shell script.But here it fails.Waiting for your suggestions.If you want i can put the code also here

How do I create a package that will install a shell script?

From various sources I have made this shell script which creates a hidden admin user, starts ard and sshd.
I would like to make this a package which will run on a machine on first boot. (I'm using deploystudio to deploy ML)
It creates a hidden user called testuser1 with the password of password1
[code]# Create user record in directory services
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 RealName "testuser1"
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 UniqueID 401
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 PrimaryGroupID 20
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 UserShell /bin/bash
dscl . -passwd /Users/testuser1 "password1"
# Set up a hidden home folder
dscl . -create /Users/testuser1 NFSHomeDirectory /var/testuser1
cp -R /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj /var/testuser1
chown -R testuser1:staff /var/testuser1
# Grant admin & ARD rights
dseditgroup -o edit -t user -a testuser1 admin
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/ki ckstart -activate -configure -access -on -users testuser1 -privs -all -restart -agent
# Tell loginwindow not to show the user
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Hide500Users -bool TRUE
# Alternate: defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array testuser1
# start remote login ssh
systemsetup -setremotelogin on[/code]
I'm using package maker but it keeps failing. If I add it from somewhere like my Documents dir it says it will give my username the permissions instead of root. If I add it from / and make root the owner packagemaker errors probably because my user doesn't have the rights to it. I want it to copy somewhere then maybe have another script that copies to the same location and does an rm to remove the previous script so no admin details are left on the machine

Basicilly I want to roll out an image that will work with all models of macs which are comaptible with Mountain Lion. To do so I'm using deploystudio with the installESD.dmg as the image. This way it will install the relevant drivers for each model of mac. So the image should work whether it's a mac pro tower/mac mini/macbook.
Upon completetion deploystudio lets you run packages so I would like the script above to be in a package. I don't want it even to copy the script anywhere I would just like it to run the .sh file I've made if thats possible?
I'm just not sure what steps to take with packagemaker, I've never used it before.
But yeah the ultimate goal is: upon installation completetion setup hidden admin user that will have ssh and ard access.

How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

Hello Oracle People,
I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
Right now it is a simple shell script.
Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
-- cr_job10.sql
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_backup_job',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'My Backup Job');
END;
I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:
/h/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump/orcl_j000_22396.trc

ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 53267

I googled on this:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
Google returned only 1 hit.
There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
run shell scripts from the scheduler?

Hello people,
I should have added this bit of information:
"The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
"The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/extJob
Currently I'm setup like this:

-rwsr-x--- 1 rman dba 34468 Sep 21 2006 /h/oracle/product/10r2/bin/extproc

Here is a demo of rman running his script:
bash sol root /h/oracle/product/10r2/bin 35 # su - rman

$
$ ls

$
$ cat scripts/tst.sh
#! /bin/sh

exit 0
$
$
$ cat /tmp/tst.sh.out.txt
Fri Sep 7 16:31:23 PDT 2007
$
$ rm /tmp/tst.sh.out.txt
$
I am focused on this error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
What does 274662 mean?
If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
And of course,
If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

Process Flow - Executing a shell Script

I have a simple shell script being called at the start of a process flow, up until a few days ago this worked fine across DEV, TEST and PROD.
It's now stopped working in PROD.
It executes through the command line fine as an os user and when you inspect:
select * from all_rt_audit_executions where execution_name like '%SCRIPT_ONLY%' order by updated_on desc;
The return_result is OK, but the script has not executed (it creates a simple file and I have added another one at the end of the script 'id >> whoami.txt')
I've no idea what the sysadmin has been up to so can't comment on configuration changes on the box.
Any ideas?
Edited by: RodCouncil on Mar 16, 2009 4:51 PM

First off, if the admin has upgraded or re-installed the repository, it might have reset back to the default security properties
The properties file is found in $OWB_HOME/owb/bin/admin/Runtime.properties and change the following parameters to NATIVE_JAVA :
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.FTP.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.Shell.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
property.RuntimePlatform.0.NativeExecution.SQLPlus.security_constraint = NATIVE_JAVA
Make sure that there are no trailing spaces on the line after NATIVE_JAVA.
Also, if they have upgraded software could they have changed the detault UNIX profie so that you are no longer finding executables? Or changed around the file structure so that your script is in a different absolute location so that OWB doesn't find it anymore? Or changed up directory permissions so that the Oracle user can't see the script anymore?
Just a few thoughts on things to check for....
I'd ask your sysadmin to check the OWB security profile, and then to try running the script from the Oracle Unix account and let you know the results (assuming that you do not have access to the Oracle user).

Running Shell scripts from the desktop

Hi,
I'm from the UNIX world rather than the mac one so have written a number of shell scripts. Lets call them foo.sh and bar.bash for the sake of argument.
These are sitting in a folder on my desktop
I can happily open a terminal session and run the scripts - and they work as I expect them to.
If I open a Finder window and double click on the icons for the scripts what happens is that it opens TextEdit.
Theres two things I'd like to change
A. I'd like to change the behaviour so that the scripts run when I double clike them rather than opening an editor (possibly in a terminal window )
B. I'd like to be able to change the editor from TextEdit to one I'm more used to...(I've installed Vim/Gvim which I quite like).
A. - Haven't managed to get anywhere trying to solve this....
B. - So far my attempts have got as far as...
1...
right-click -> open with -> Other -> select vim.app
tick Always open as
click open
The file then opens in a vim window.
however if I now close the vim application and double clike the file icon then the file opens in TextEdit again
2...
Right Click -> Get Info -> Open with VIM -> add -> Change all
message appears
'Are you sure you want to change all your Vimm.app documents to open with the application "vim.app"
This change will apply to all Vim.app documents with extension ".sh" '
click continue
In the Info pane the 'Open with' selection widget immediately changes to say 'Open with: TextEdit.app'
So I'm a bit stumped, can you help!
Regards
Mark
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks to both people who answered.
You both gave me useful workarounds to my problem.
Renaming the scripts to be 'foo.command' was very hepful and useful to know. I tried this and it does indeed work. I may use this in the future.
I also had a play around with applescript and the automator to achieve similar results.
I agree that double clicking to run the file and also edit it is mutually exlcusive - I'm sort of trying to work out how I could make it do 'either/or' as I choose. In the Windows world i'd have the option of setting 'open' to run the script (assuming I'd got cygwin installed and had assiciated it) OR 'Edit with vim' if I wanted to edit the file (assuming vim was installed!).
Unresolved issue is that I'm still unable to get VIM to be associated with a .sh file.
The way I would envisage it working in Mac world would be to be able to right click on foo.sh -> Open with... and have a list to select from immediately there like..
Text Edit
Vim
Terminal (default)
and be able to somehow add and remove apps from the list and change which is the default.
My issue is that I don't seem to know how to get other apps than TextEdit to appear in the list - I suspect I need a better understanding of how these file/application associations work and are configured.

How to get name of batch file/shell script that starts program?

I don't think there's a way to do it, but I'm asking the question anyway...
of course, the startup script could pass its name as a parameter to the Java program, but I was wondering if the information could be determined "directly," via Java code. The idea is to allow your Java program to modify the startup configuration specified by your startup shell script.
For example, a "startup configuration" menu item would pop up a dialog box that would display- and allow you to change- the startup parameters, and then let you write the changes back to the script file.

There are always some ways to do things.
I guess for your case, you need to go through JNI and have a native program to back track the Process ID of who started who. Never done that but I guess should work.
But a more natural way to do this is to have your startup configuration stored in an xml file or a properties file inside your classpath.

Unix Shell Script : Attribute Parsing

I am configuring a Unix Shell Resource on my IDM system (at least, I am TRYING to configure it)
I am creating the script for "Get User Attribute Parsing".
Here is the script I am using :
*<AttrParse name='ShellSample-74kfX GetUser AttrParse' createDate='0'>*
*<collectCsvHeader idHeader='Account ID' nameHeader='Username' delim=',' trim='true' unQuote='true'/>*
*<collectCsvLines trim='true' unQuote='true'/>*
*<MemberObjectGroups>*
*<ObjectRef type='ObjectGroup' id='#ID#All' name='All'/>*
*</MemberObjectGroups>*
*</AttrParse>*
But, IDM keeps giving me the following error :
Unexpected end of data preparing to parse token number 1(<collectCsvLines trim='true' unQuote='true'/>)
Please, could anyone give me any tips?
Thanks.

You didn't specify if you want a total time for a portion of a shell script, or the whole script in general. If you only want to know the time of the whole shell script, just reference the linux/unix built-in variable ${SECONDS}. This variable is reset for each PID.
I usually add these lines to the bottom of long running shell scripts (just before an exit code):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
((TIME = ${SECONDS} / 60))
echo "Script ran for ${TIME} minutes. (${SECONDS} seconds total.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like I said, ${SECONDS} starts ticking from 0 when you start the script, so no need to export the variable, just reference it. The nice part is that you don't have to bother getting into sqlplus and hit the database.

Oracle 11g R1 Automatic Installation shell scripts

Hy Guys,
Please can someone help me with: Oracle 11g R1 Automatic Installation shell scripts. A guide, how to or a link will be wellcome
Kind Regards

Hi Easyman,
sure, just have a look in $INSTALL_CONF directory. Files starting with swInst* are referencing a response file from $INSTALL_CONF/response directory. Either use a sample configuration file or add your own response file to install Oracle.
Cheers,

Skeleton Shell script needed to start jClient from prompt

Hi,
we like to call a class which uses an application module directly from command line. I wrote a little shell script which wraps the direct "java myClass" call (later on, we plan to use cron for automatic calls).
We use the Configuration.createRootApplicationModule method for creation of our application module (the class and the bc4j.xcfg are both packed in the same jar).
We run into some issues concerning setting the correct classpath:
I suppose our classpath isn't set properly.
Can anyone give me a list of BC4J jars (and other standard Oracle JARS) that must be in the classpath in that specific order? (incl. location where to find)
Or maybe an extract of your shell script if any exists.
Many thanks,
Stefan

Hi Arno,
thank you for your help.
@All:
Below please find a working script to start a batch job(which uses an application module in local mode) under a linux environment where Oracle 10g iAS is installed.
Have fun.

Import through Shell Scripts

Hi Friends ,
I have run shell scripts for importing from my local system through TELNET It was running fine on the server.But now I need to import the same dump file into my local database.The ORACLE_SID refering to the database in the server is same as the database in my local system.
So how to tell through the scripts that I need to connect to my local system.
If anyone could explain this it could be of great help.
Regards
Marlon.

Hi
It depends on how your script is taken care on syntax of import/export. I can tell you exaxtly if you can past me your import/export shell script. However for your knowlege, you can specify ORACLE_SID with export/import with following ways
1) exp user/pass@ORACLE_SID file=<file_name> log=<logfile>
imp user/password@ORACLE_SID file=<dumpfile> fromuser=<username> touser=username
if you are at same box where oracle server is intalled then you need not to mention oracle_SID but make sure that ORACLES_SID is configured in environment variable.
All the best
Alok
