DBMS_SCHEDULER and Shell Script on 10.2.0.1

Question

Hi All
My env, Oracle 10.2.0.1 and OS is Solaris.
My script can run on OS that is work without error that contain create file, delete file, call sqlplus, function to get value from database and return to OS variables.
In shell script some code as below
get_val () {
sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
conn test/test
set heading off
set feedback off
set pages 0
SELECT SUBSTR (SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (Z, ' '), 2) z
      FROM (SELECT NAMEDQUERY , ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY Z) rn,
                   COUNT (*) OVER () cnt
              FROM X
              WHERE Z LIKE '%FULL')
     WHERE rn = cnt
START WITH rn = 1
CONNECT BY rn = PRIOR rn + 1;
EOF
vx=$(get_val)
if [ ${#vx} -gt 0 ]; then
for xfile in $vx
do
rm -f $CURRDIR/$xfile.txt 2> /dev/null
done
fi
When run by dbms_scheduler that show below error
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
STANDARD_ERROR="/home/oracle/script/test.sh: syntax error at line 26: `vx=$' unexpected
How to resolve above error?  (owner of $CURRDIR/$xfile.txt is oracle user)
One more question, How to force dbms_scheduler that using user oracle (OS) to run shell script?, as I know, default user is nobody and Oracle version 10.2.0.2 later that have external.job.ora to set it but 10.2.0.1 doesn't have it.
Thank you in advance,
Hiko

Answer 1

I changed scheduler by set argument as below
dbms_scheduler.create_job (job_name=>'TEST',job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',job_action=>'/usr/bin/bash',number_of_arguments=>1);
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('TEST',1,argument_value,'/home/oracle/test.sh');
That is work. below is conclusion to did
1. Change permission of $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extjob to 4750 (-rwsr-x---)
2. Change owner of $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extjob to oracle:dba
3. Use '/usr/bin/bash' instead of '/usr/bin/sh'
But I found error about download file process that I'm using wget to download source file in shell script and run by dbms_scheduler as above.
My problem, first file can download normally and process until finish but second file was hang.
Do you have any idea or solution to prove and resolve it?
Thank you,
