Execute unix shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi,
I am trying run to shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER.
1) I check..nobody user exist on my HP-UX.
2) I check externaljob.ora on (10.2.0.2.0) also..It has an entry..
run_user = nobody
run_group = nobody
3) I created job successfully and enabled it.
begin
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'test_unix_script',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/tmp/test.ksh',
start_date => '08-NOV-2006 04:45:16 PM',
job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
enabled => TRUE,
auto_drop => FALSE,
comments => 'test_unix_script.'
END;
EXEC DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('test_unix_script');
4) test.ksh script had -r-xr-xr-x permission.
5) When I checking dba_scheduler_job_run_details view, ADDITIONAL_INFO column display following error messgae.
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
Did I miss anything?
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks..

My /tmp/test.ksh trying to find database status.

Executing Unix shell scripts with DBMS_SCHEDULER

I have the following Unix shell script create_backup_file.sh:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ssh [email protected] /usr/bin/touch/app_home/home/trotestbat/scripts/TRO_batch_complete_`date +%d-%m-%Y-%H%M`
If I execute this from the command prompt it creates the file on the remote server.
I've used dbms_scheduler to try and execute this from Oracle:
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM
program_name => 'CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,program_type => 'EXECUTABLE'
,program_action => '/APP/TORPEDO/DTE/SCRIPTS/create_backup_file_tro.sh'
,number_of_arguments => 0
,enabled => TRUE
,comments => NULL
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'DTE.TESTAGAIN'
,start_date => TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('2010/05/17 16:09:24.710789 +01:00','yyyy/mm/dd
hh24:mi:ss.ff tzh:tzm')
,repeat_interval => NULL
,end_date => NULL
,program_name => 'DTE.CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,comments => NULL
END;
The problem I have is that scheduler executes the shell script and creates the file but it never completes the job. The status of the job is permanently 'RUNNING'. Why is the scheduler not returning a completed status?

the "infinite" script is usually caused by a prompt (script pauses for a user input).
Please keep in mind that executing script via scheduler is not the same as manually via prompt.
1. the script runs as ORACLE user ID (or whatever you specified using DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_credential or/and "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora")
2. the environment variables are probably not the same.
My wild guess is that you never ran SSH using "oracle" UID and thus it prompts for permission to add the remote computer’s fingerprint to the user’s ~/.ssh/known_hosts file - since it is a script, it just hangs and waits for input.
Did you try to login to unix box as oracle uid and run the script manually?

Issue with calling Shell Script using DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi All,
I am executing a shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER from APEX web page. Execution part is working fine without any issues.
In my shell script file (abc.sh) I have few oracle sql procedure calls which connects back to same database and that SQL call is not executing some reason, it not giving any errors.
Inside my shell script code looks like this.
sqlplus -silent $USER/$PASSCODE@$SCONNECT > /dev/null <<END
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off serveroutput on
echo off linesize 1000
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT 9
BEGIN
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
do_enable_cons();
dbms_output.disable;
END;
spool off;
exit;
END
When I run this shell script file from backend it works fine now issues.
Is there any restrictions in executing sql code using DBMS_SCHEDULER? Any ones help is much appreciated.
-Regards

Thanks you sb and Sybrand . It is problem with environment variables. After running .bash_profile in the beginning of the shell script, it is working fine.
One issue is when I check the process it is showing two entries with two different process id's.
The command I used
ps -ef | grep <my script> is COPY & PASTE broken for you?
any reason why you did not show us EXACTLY was produced by OS command above?

Is it something wrong with my code or is it normal? Is it really executing two times ?

Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

Ree,
1. Find SSH client for windows, then execute SSH with Runtime.exec() on local host with arguments like remote host, auth, command to execute etc.
2. Get SSH client in Java and execute SSH commands on remote host using pure Java API.

Executing a shell script with DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi,
when I execute a shell script with DBMS_SCHEDULER this doesn't works correctly
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job
job_name => 'job_AR',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/home/crm/crmdw/AR/start_execution.sh',
enabled => TRUE,
start_date => systimestamp,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY;INTERVAL=15',
comments => 'Test Job AR'
END;Inside the shell script there is a code who call a Hierarchy of process,
if I executed it manually or with a cron, it works perfectly
but when I execute it with the job that I've described before it's executes
all process at same time and it doesn't work.
What can I do to fix the issue,
any Ideas?
Thanks in advanced...

Can anyone suggest me some way out of it?
Thanks in advance!!!

Does oracle still creates a user nobody"nobody" is a "standard" Unix/Linux lowly privileged user, which is used by DBMS_SCHEDULER by default.
You should change permissions on /export/home/bwsolaris, e.g.
$ chmod 777 /export/home/bwsolaris
or use a different directory, where everyone has access, for example /tmp.

RFC_REMOTE_PIPE is Returning 1 alwasys and not able to execute Unix shell script

Hello All,
I am trying to execute a simple unix shell script from ABAP.
What I did so far..
1. created a test.sh file with single command echo "Hello".
2. placed this file on application server /Usr/sap/test.sh
3. executing ABAP program which as FM RFC_REMOTE_PIPE
CODE:
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE'
   DESTINATION 'SERVER_EXEC'
EXPORTING
   command = lv_command
   read          = 'X'
TABLES
   pipedate    = lt_stdout
EXCEPTIONS
system_failure = 1
communication_failure = 2.
if i populate lv_command = echo "hello" it works fine
if i give .sh file path in lv_command it is not working. it returns 1.
Please help...
I was searching SDN i found that rfcexec service should be enabled... how do i check that..
i checked t code \SMGW , i don't see any output...
i checked FM GWY_READ_CONNECTED_SYSTEMS, i don't hsee anyting related to unix...
Please suggest.

I resolved the issue.
It was issue with permission.
Script file should have full permission ( Mode 777)..
Thanks everyone.

Executing a UNIX shell script using SM49

I have been trying all sorts of things to get this to work and I have been un-successful
I am trying to run the UNIX script using SM49. the command line that I am using is
/test/directory/bin/testmail.sh
the script testmail.sh looks like
#!/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/mailx -s testmail <email address>
I have tried all sorts of combinations to run this script
example
sh /test/directory/bin/testmail.sh
/test/directory/bin/testmail.sh %f
/test/directory/bin/testmail.sh %F
does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to run successfully. once I get this to run successfully in SM49, I am going to try it in the intregration builder of my PI process.

Hi,
considering authorization issues, you can use
CALL FUNCTION 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE'
    EXPORTING
      commandname                         = 'LIST_DB2DUMP'
      additional_parameters               = l_path
     operatingsystem                      = 'UNIX'
    TABLES
      exec_protocol                       = lt_btcxpm
    EXCEPTIONS
to extract information about files on the server
I used this code to get detailed information for display including the attributes
LOOP AT lt_btcxpm ASSIGNING <btcxpm>
    WHERE length > 57
      AND ( NOT message+57 CO '. '
            OR message+57 = '..' )
      AND ( message(1) = 'd' OR
            message(1) = 'l' OR
            message(1) = '-' ).
    l_srvfil-type = <btcxpm>-message(1).
    IF l_srvfil-type = '-'.
      l_srvfil-type = 'F'.
    ENDIF." l_srvfil-type = '-'.
    TRANSLATE l_srvfil-type TO UPPER CASE.               "#EC TRANSLANG
    l_srvfil-file = <btcxpm>-message+57.
    CONDENSE l_srvfil-file.
    l_srvfil-attri = <btcxpm>-message+1(9).
*    l_srvfil-time = <btcxpm>-message+44(12).
    l_srvfil-size = <btcxpm>-message+32(11).
    APPEND l_srvfil TO lt_srvfil.
ENDLOOP." at lt_BTCXPM assigning <BTCXPM>.
pt_srvfil = lt_srvfil.
For the srvfil information I used this structure
BEGIN OF typ_srvfil,
%_box TYPE flag,                                         "#EC *
type   TYPE char01,
attri TYPE isp_rel,
file   TYPE file,
name   TYPE file,
size   TYPE sytleng,
owner TYPE sy-uname,
mod_date TYPE sydatum,
mod_time TYPE syuzeit,
END OF typ_srvfil,
I do not remember exactly how the attribute information is resolved. In Unix all file system authorizations can be set as for the user, the group or for all and it can be read, write, execute granted. If you are no unix expert, ask one or google/wiki for some details.
I wrote a program for navigation, display, and some more functions on the file system which is too big to post here and is not fully system-independent. Not perfect but useful and more than 5 years old. Contact me by mail if you want it.

Error while Executing Unix Shell Commands Using Runtime clas

I am trying to run the following code in java on unix machine to execute cat command.
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
          try {
               System.out.println("before catexecute");
               Process process = runtime.exec("cat /export/home/shankerr/local.profile > /export/home/shankerr/local1.txt");
               try {
                    if (process.waitFor() != 0) {
                    System.err.println("exit value = " +
                              process.exitValue());
                    catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    System.err.println(e);
But i get the following error on the console
exit value = 2
cat: cannot open >
cat: cannot open /export/home/shankerr/local1.txt
The same command if i run on unix console directly it creates a new file and copies the content into the new file local1.txt
kindly help me on the same

The redirection operator > along with stuff like pipe | history !$ etc. is interpreted by the shell, not by the cat program.
When you do cat X > Ycat only sees the X. The rest is interpreted by the shell to redirect the cat program's stdout.
However, when you Runtime.exec(), you don't have the shell, so cat sees X > Y as its arguments, and interprets them all as file names. Since there's no file named > you get the error.
The solution is to first man cat on your system and see if it happens to have a -o or somesuch operator that lets it (rather than the shell) send its output to a file. If not, then you need to invoke a shell, and pass it cat and all of cat's args as the command to execute.
Read the man pages for you shell of choice, but for bash, I believe you'd give Runtime.exec() something like /bin/bash -c 'cat X > Y'
