Error while calling Subroutine from Script

HI Friends,
I am getting a short dump whilecalling a suboutine from Script.
Please suggest if am wrong with below code
/: PERFORM GET_ADDRESS IN PROGRAM ZSUBROUTINES
/: USING &MHND-KUNNR&
/: CHANGING &ADRS-LINE0&
/: CHANGING &ADRS-LINE1&
/: ENDPERFORM
All above fields are available in script window
In the program
FORM get_address TABLES in_tab STRUCTURE itcsy
out_tab stucture itcsy.
ENDFORM.
Thanks

HI,
Your code is correct, in the FORM and ENDFORM in the program, read the INPUT table and get the values and write your logic using these values and send back the values to the SCRIPT using the OUTTABLE. here you need to use the MODIFY statment for the outtable using Sy-TABIX.

Error Using dbms_scheduler to call a shell script

Hi,
I have been assigned a job of sending emails through unix utility(Mailx), based on certain activity in database.
Email needs to be sent on insert/update of a column in one of the database tables.
I am trying to use the block below to call the unix script responsible to send mails:
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job
job_name => 'TPP_SEND_EMAIL_JOB',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/opt/ENV/code/BIL/users/usrbil01/Hemz/sndmailscrpt.ksh',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=30',
enabled => true,
comments => 'Send Email on ISU update'
end;
sndmailscrpt.ksh: Script to send email is embedded within the shell script
I am getting the below error when i try to run the job using 'exec dbms_scheduler.run_job('TPP_SEND_EMAIL_JOB');'
Error:
ORA-27370: job slave failed to launch a job of type EXECUTABLE
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:accessing extjob wrapper failed with status: 2

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 441
ORA-06512: at line 1
I am not aware of any db related permissions that needs to be given, is this related to that or is there somethin i need to do for execution to be successfull
Request you to let me know the exact solution and also the steps i need to take in order to ensure successfull execution of this script.
Please also let me know if there is any other way wherein i can call a unix script from a database trigger on run time(i.e, whenever insert/update on a particular column in database)

Hi All,
Thank you for your inputs.
I am now pressed to explore the option of utl_mail as this dircetly sends mail from database. This is suggested as an option for my delivery now.
I am able to install utl_mail and send a mail using the block below:
begin
utl_mail.send(
sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
subject => 'Testing utl_mail',
message => 'The receipt of this email is checking on working of UTL_MAIL '
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('error: '||sqlerrm);
end;
The block gets executed successfully, but i have not received a mail yet, is there a table or oracle log from where i can trace the delivery status for the mai, or if the mail is successfully sent too?
I have heard from users in this forum for support of mime type "HTML", Should i pass the whole html body in the *'message'* input parameter here or can i pass a html template name with path present else where?
Please do assist me in this regard.
Regards,
Hemanth

Error while calling SAP script.

Hi all,
Has anyone faced this problem.
When I try to send an email from an activity in PB60 it does not work.
It pops up an error message - Error while calling SAPscript: <OPEN_FORM> <return code 1>.
Regards,
Bharat

Hi,
this means that some configuration info is missing! The driver program doesn't know which form to trigger in that case! You have to specify the SAPscript form to be trigerred for that case!

Schell Script to Schdule In Dbms_Schedule

Hi All,
I've a script to schedule in dbms_scheduler, here is the usage of script in linux command line..
"/home/oracle/scripts/run.sh table_name"
Any inputs how to schedule it in dbms scheduler daily to run 1200 AM

@sushaant - the post you refer to has no relevance to using DBMS_SCHEDULER - it is just using a cron job to run a shell script.
@Ramu - if the shell script is on the same server as the oracle database, you need to do the following
1) Create a credential that has the unix user you want to run the script as.
Note the script itself MUST set up any environment needed for the job to run - DBMS_SCHEDULER will not execute the .profile of the user you supply in the credential so don't assume in run.sh that any $PATH will exist or any other environment variables, you must set these explicitly. E.g. if you use a unix command, you should ensure you specify the full path to it in run.sh.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_CREDENTIAL('YOUR_CREDENTIAL', 'username', 'password');
END;
2) In sqlplus, create a job with an external job that references run.sh and add argument. Change yourjob to be the job name
you want to see when the job runs and your_table_name to the table that should be used in this particular job.
dbms_scheduler.create_program(
job_name=>'yourprogram',
job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',
job_action=>'/home/oracle/scripts/run.sh',
number_of_arguments=>1);
4) Create a job which links the program to the schedule and runs daily at midday and create other jobs for other tables giving them different parameters. If you have several of these to run but don't want them to run at the same time, look at the CREATE_CHAIN commands in the Oracle 11gR2 database admin guide as there are two whole chapters (28 & 29) on the scheduler ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/scheduse.htm#i1033533 )
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'run_tablename1',
program_name => 'yourprogram',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=12',
credential_name => 'YOUR_CREDENTIAL',
comments => 'Daily at noon');
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value@orl1(job_name=>'run_tablename1', argument_position=>1, argument_value='your_table_name');
END;
Note that as you are passing a table_name to the run.sh, i'm guessing it might be running some Oracle commands such as an analyse so if run.sh contains PLSQL commands, you could create a PLSQL package or procedure in the database and instead of creating an external program that runs a shells script, just run the PLSQL directly from DBMS_SCHEDULER. This is simpler as you don't need to create credentials etc.. needed for an external program.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM (
job_name => 'yourname',
job_type => 'STORED_PROCEDURE',
job_action => 'YOUR_PKG.DO_STUFF',
start_date => '18-MAY-13 12.00.00 AM',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY', /* every day */
end_date => '17-MAY-14 12.00.00 AM',
auto_drop => FALSE,
comments => 'My new job');
END;
dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value@orl1(job_name=>'yourjob',
argument_position=>1, argument_value='your_table_name');
and again create a chain if you want to run several when one completes.
You need to select from various tables to see the result of the jobs and whether they succeed or not such as
select * From user_scheduler_job_run_details where job_Name='run_tablename1'
SELECT * FROM USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_LOG;
select * from user_scheduler_running_jobs
You can add email notifications using DBMS_SCHEDULER.ADD_JOB_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION
See the admin guide for more details.

Calling a .py script inside a .VI, using anaconda's Libraries or specific python version (SystemExec.vi(?), MAC OSX)

Hi,
I'm new to both mac and LabView, so it may well be something obvious I'm missing.
I'm trying to use System Exec (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361L-01/glang/system_exec/ with LabVIEW 2014 on Mac OS X Mavericks) to call a python script to do some image processing after taking some data and saving images via LabView.
My problem is that I cannot figure out how to point it to the correct version/install of python to use, as it seems to use the pre-installed 2.7.5 apple version no matter whether that's set to be my default or not (and hence, it can't see my SciPy, PIL etc. packages that come with my Anaconda install).
It doesn't seem to matter whether I have certain packages installed for 2.7 accessable via the terminal, the LabView System Exec command line can't seem to find them either way and throws up an error if a script is called that imports them.
I've tried changing the working directory to the relevant anaconda/bin folder, I've also tried
cd /Applications/anaconda/bin; python <file.py>
as the CL input to system exec, but it's not wanting to use anything other than the apple install. I've tried Anaconda installs with both python 2.7 and 3.4, so it doesn't seem to be down to the 3.* compatibility issues alone.
Printing the python version to a string indicator box in LV via python script gives the following:
2.7.5 (default, Mar 9 2014, 22:15:05)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 5.0 (clang-500.0.68)]
Whereas via the terminal, the default version is the anaconda install I'd like to use, currently
Python 3.4.1 |Anaconda 2.1.0 (x86_64)| (default, Sep 10 2014, 17:24:09)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
I can do which python3.4 on the sys exec CL input to get the correct /anaconda/bin location, but if I try python3.4 <file.py>, I just get a Seg fault.
I've found examples for System Exec use and instructions for calling python scripts with specific versions, but neither works with Mac (frustratingly).
I've also tried editing the Path Environment Variable, and tried getting rid of the python 2.7 install entirely, but none of these work either (the latter just causing errors all over the shop).
So, in summary
I'd just like to know how to specify the python version LabView uses and to have use of the corresponding python libraries.
Either python version (2 or 3) will do, I'd just like to be able to use my libraries which came with Anaconda which I'll be writing my scripts with (which I installed as the correct packages are only compatible with a specific python version on Mac, which is not the specific version that Xcode was compatible with, argh).
All packages work normally when using the Anaconda version with the terminal or with Spyder.
Is there a function I can use other than System Exec? What am I missing?
Please help.

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

Your server code must be faulty. If things work well you should see a blank screen when you point your browser to the amf endpoint.
An Apache message like "The requested resource (/bpm-backend/whatever) is not available." indicates that something in your server app is not working properly or not mapped right.

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

Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.

Sql 2008 R2
Calling an rss script with rs.exe fails to result in a report pdf from VB6 w/ ShellEx.
If I call rs.exe with the various parameters from the command prompt I have success(other than rs.exe using the temp folder, which is a different issue). But when I try to execute the same process from a Visual Basic 6.0 application utilizing
the ShellEx api call, the report creation and output to PDF format do not occur. There is no error raised.
Yes, I wish I could use a newer dev tool but that isn't an option right now. I think this should work. Can ya'll tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Calling a SQL script from the PL/SQL block.

Hello All,
I am using oracle 11g database.
My requirment is as follows. I have a SQL script to alter the table. But before alter the table I need to test some condition , if the condition satisfy then I have to alter the table through the SQL script. For the checking the condition I have to use the plsql block and inside I need to call the SQL script.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how?
I am tring to use START, RUN and @ command but it is throughing error.
Thanks
SUN

[PL/SQL manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/functions55a.htm#77600] Ctrl-F start, finds nothing. [SQLPlus manual|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm] Ctrl-F start finds this. Isn't it wonderful that Oracle documents this stuff so we don't have to guess.
Can I call a SQL script from PL/SQL block, if yes then how? No.
You could call the stored procedure in a SQL*Plus script before the alter table and have it raise an exception if the condition is not met and have the script quit when there is an error.

Error when trying to run script using SDK at plugin startup

Hi
I am trying to run a script when my InDesign plugin is loaded. I referred to the PanelTreeView sdk sample as an example and implemented a StartupShutdown Boss
In my implementation, in the startup() method I have the code to get the scriptManager and the scriptRunner for my javascript that I want to run. However, when my code hits the following line :
          InterfacePtr<IScriptRunner>theRunner(Utils<IScriptUtils>()->QueryScriptRunner(scriptFile) ); //scriptfile is ID script file that I want to run
          I get the error saying "Calling ScriptInfoDatabase::InitScriptInfoManager before resources have been registered".
I am wondering how I can fix this error. or if this is too early to invoke scriptrunner, then is there some other place where I can invoke the scriptrunner to run my script
this is how I have defined my StartupShutdown Boss class in the .fr file
    Class
         kmyStartupShutdownBoss,
         kInvalidClass,
             /** Implementation of IStartupShutdownService that runs a scripts on startup */
             IID_IAPPSTARTUPSHUTDOWN, kmyStartupShutdownImpl,
             /** identify the service type */
             IID_IK2SERVICEPROVIDER, kCStartupShutdownProviderImpl,
Appreciate any help on this one .. thanks!
Sameer

Dependent on your InDesign version, you can schedule an IdleTask and do it from there, or just use a lazy startup.
IID_IK2SERVICEPROVIDER,kLazyStartupShutdownProviderImpl,
Again dependent on your InDesign version you should first check whether a script can run at all - some nasty other plugins may prevent that with modal dialogs.
Finally there is the possibility to run startup scripts even without plugin ...
