Execute Unix Command from Oracle

Hi,
I'm on Oracle 11g R1. I've a requirement where user will be putting CSV files on Unix server and I've to create a job which runs periodically to check if any new file is added by user in the folder.
If it finds a new file (s), then it needs to identify it and insert its name in an Oracle table. Once file's name is noted, it has to move file from that directory to another one.
Can you please help me achieve it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Chintan

Dear All,
I am currently working in the development of multi user application in ORACLE.

How can I use unix commands from oracle report

I have to use the following command from oracle reports.
In oracle forms we can use the HOST command but what about oracle reports2.5.
I have to email the attached file 100245.pdf from oracle reports to the given email id
uuencode 100245.pdf 100245.pdf | mailx -s "test" [email protected]

Hi,
It's because .bat (or .cmd) files are scripts and not executables and are interpreted using the command line executable - which is normally cmd.exe (although you can buy others).
So you need to call cmd.exe passing the bat file name as a parameter, something like
cmd.exe /c batchfilename
Without the /c you will never get a response.
However, this brings us to the bizarre conclusion that you are going to:
call cmd.exe (a shell interpreter)
to launch a batch file
that calls cygwin (another shell interpreter)
which then runs ls
When shouldn't that just be:
call cmd.exe to run the dir command
Or better yet, If you are just after a file name listing and you seem to understand Java stored procs, why not just write a JSP to list the contents of a directory? No problems with OS dependant commands, scripts and 3rd party interpreters. Plenty of examples of that out on the internet as well.

How to execute unix command from ODI Procedure

Hi,
I am trying to execute below unix command from ODI Procedure (Command on Target tab) but I am getting the error "java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "cd": error=2, No such file or directory" but when I try to execute the same command using OdiOSCommand, it is executing successfully. I don't want to use shell script to execute this command. Is there any specific syntax am I missing to execute this command from ODI procedure?
cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst
Please help me on this...
Thanks
MT

Hi nahlikh,
Thank you for the reply.
I used below command in Procedure but still getting the same error as "java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "OdiOSCommand": error=2, No such file or directory".
OdiOSCommand "-COMMAND=cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst"
as I mentioned earlier if I use the command cd /project3/tmt/;ls *.dmp > dmplist.lst in OdiOSCommand tool it is executing successfully without any issues.
any thoughts appreciated to get a solution for this issue.
Thanks

Execute unix commands from Java

Hi,
I have a client application running on windows. This client should connect to a unix server and check for the existence of a file and display the result as "File found/File not found". In order to connect from windows to the unix server, I used the sockets and the connection is successfully established. The second part is to check for the presence of the file in unix server. I searched in google.com and the option I found to execute a unix command from java is the "Runtime.exec()". Runtime.exec is considered as the less effective (not a favorable) one.
Is there any other option available (other than the Runtime) to execute the unix command from java? Can you please let me know.
Thanks a lot
Aishu

So, please let me know how I can execute the above unix commands without Runtime.exec()You have a client and a server.
You want something to run on the server, not the client.
That means that something must in fact being running on the server before the client does anything at all.
For example telnet. Or a J2EE server application.
So is something like that running?
If not then there absolutely no way to do what you want, even with Runtime.exec().
If yes then what you do depends on what is running. So Runtime.exec() would be pointless if a J2EE server was running.

How to execute unix command from the Java program running on Windows

Hello,
I need to
1. Execute a unix shell script from a Java program running on the Windows.
2. I also need to capture the output of this shell script in my program.
Please suggest me how to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi...
Something is missing here
If you want to execute a shell script in windows that not posible unless you find or develop a unix shell script parser for windows.
But if you are trying the execute a unix shell script on a remote unix computer from your java program running on a windows platform you can do that by logging on to the UNIX terminal which is running on port 23 I think.
You can test this using telnet tool on windows
just type on command prompt
telnet <ip of the unix pc> <port number this case 23>
you should get the unix terminal. If that works you can do the same through java or you can directly conect to port 23 of that pc using sockets that way your program will be platform independant

How to run unix command from Oracle Foms 10g

How does one execute unix commands from within an applet?

Greetings Folks,
I've written a simple java applet that runs a unix command and then displays some information. The applet compiles fine, and runs perfectly from the command line on my unix system.
However, when I point a browser at the applet from my desktop PC I get the following error as taken from the java console:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-2" java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)
This is of course the first line in a long line of error messages. It appears that I am not able to execute a command on the unix system through my applet. I know the problem is with trying to execute a unix command since commenting it causes no error in the web browser. This is the command I'm using in java to execute the unix command:
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps");
Here's the html file on the unix system:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<appletcode=G.class height="250" width="400">
Your browser does not support the applet tag.
</applet>
</body>
</html>
I won't list the java code since it is compiling and working on the command line. But, if you want to see it I'll provide it.
I've done quite a bit of research on this and it seems that a great number of people have similar problems reading or executing files through java. I have yet to find a solution to this problem.
Here are some details about my setup:
Server:
HP9000 running HP/UX 11.23
Apache Web Server 2.0.35
Java 1.5
Desktop PC:
Win2K Pro
Internet Explorer 6
Java 1.6
If you have a solution I would be very grateful! This problem is keeping me from writing my application!
thanks!

Re: Executing UNIX commands from PC Client

Hello,
You can run FTP on the client and connect to your unix server to
transfer the files across.
As far as running UNIX commands goes you can transfer the command
set to a service object deployed on the server and run them from there.
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
I have a file which needs to be FTP'd to a remote sever. The file is
created on the PC Client tier of the application. In addition, I have a
few unix scripts which I would like the client to execute. Is there a way
to execute unix (or server) based commands from a Forte Service Object.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
If the problem is only to copy a file from one system to an other, you
should use only Forte. Here is an abstract from the on line help :
Copying a Set of Files Between Partitions
To copy a set of files using the FileSystem class:
1 In the local partition, instantiate a FileSystem object using the
"new" operator.
In this example, we use the name "localFileSystem" for this FileSystem
object.
2 Invoke a method that will execute on the remote partition, either on a
service object or any distributed reference to an object in the remote
partition.
3 In this method, instantiate a FileSystem object and return it to the
local partition.
For this example, we will use the name "remoteFileSystem" to refer to
this FileSystem object. Note that you do not need to set the IsAnchored
attribute on FileSystem objects that are to be returned as distributed
references. These objects are automatically created as anchored objects,
so references to them in other partitions are always returned as
distributed references.
4 In the local partition, invoke the SetRemoteFS method on the
localFileSystem object, using the distributed reference to
remoteFileSystem as the remoteFS parameter.
5 Invoke the SetRemoteFS method on the remoteFileSystem distributed
reference, passing the localFileSystem object as the remoteFS parameter.
6 Invoke the SetLocalDir and SetRemoteDir methods to set the working
directory on the local and remote systems, respectively.
7 Construct one or more file names in portable operating system format
(see Naming Files in FileSystem Methods ) that represent the file, or
files, that are to be copied between systems.
8 Put the files names you constructed into TextData objects and insert
them into an array of TextData objects.
9 Invoke the PushFiles method on localFileSystem, using the array of
TextData objects containing the file names, to move files from the local
system to the remote system. If you want to move files from the remote
system to the local system, invoke the PullFiles method instead..
Further Information:

Naming Files in FileSystem Methods
Hope this helps,

help.
To run operating system commands (f.i. unix command and scripts) from within a
forte application , you can use the RunCommand method on
task.part.OperatingSystem. (See the forte help).
You can let your client call a method on a service object that resides on the
server and then this method will run the script using the above method.
Hope this helps,

Execute Unix command from Java program running on windows

Hello,
I need to write a java program that fetches file count in a particular unix machine directory. But java program will be running on windows machine.
The program should execute unix list command and fetch the output of that command.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I had a similiar problem, though years ago. It was to have a java program execute any other. Lately, I've had to have a java program running on a unix machine execute a shell script. Entirely two different scenarios. I'm not sure what you will need for your app, but look into this:
Java Native Interface for executing C/C++ code.
C/C++ Code for launching the program you need to run.
java.lang.Runtime(?).exec(....)
With a combination of that stuff, you can make a launcher for any os that has Java running on it, and with Runtime, you can exec() pretty near any sort of unix shell or app command you'd like.
Good luck.

Executing Unix Commands

Hi
I realise there is a Runtime class to help execute Unix commands from within Java code, but how would this work if the command required a password.
For example, were I to try to execute:
ssh -Y myserver.domain.com -u Myself -p
How would this work with supplying the password (which is prompted for after the command is sent to the shell)?
Thanks
Dave

from the ssh man page under "environment variables":     SSH_ASKPASS
              If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the
              current terminal if it was run from a terminal. If ssh does not
              have a terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS
              are set, it will execute the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS
              and open an X11 window to read the passphrase. This is particu-
              larly useful when calling ssh from a .xsession or related
              script. (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to
              redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)

Executing commands from Oracle

I want to execute commands from Oracle where files are stored in Server. For eg. (sample.dat) contains some insert scripts which is stored in UNIX Server, that scripts should be executed from oracle using some methods!! Hope everyone got it. If not, pls let me know i'll elaborate it later.
Thanks

If you are using oracle 10g then you can use dbms_scheduler to execute o/s commands, scripts.
BEGIN
-- Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name => 'test_full_job_definition',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/scripts/myscript.sh',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
repeat_interval => 'freq=hourly; byminute=0',
end_date => NULL,
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
END;
For earlier versions than 10g
