Executing a shell script from a jsp page

Hi,
I'm facing a problem while executing a shell script from a jsp page.
I'm using Runtime.exec() function.
It's working fine for single statement scripts.But if the script consists of any database processing and some other processing statements,it's not returning the correct exit status of the process.
Will u please help me in this.
If there is any other ways to execute a shell script from a jsp page other than Runtime.exec() like RMI etc,.If so let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
It's hard to help you but what you can do is listening to the outputs of your script, you should read the output stream and error stream and send them to the default console.
Check this excellent article : http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html?page=4

Calling PERL script from scheduler

Hello All,
I am trying to call PERL script from dbms_scheduler which makes the database connection using DBD module to read some values to perform the operation. My scheduler job kept failing with the following error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
STANDARD_ERROR="install_driver(Oracle) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Oracle/Oracle.so' for module DBD::Oracle: libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file
It can't open libclntsh.so.10.1 file when I run the job, I guess because in job session, it creates a new shell and doesn't inherit the .profile and none of the environmental variables get set. When I run the PERL script manually it works because of all the env variables, so I put all those variables from my .profile into PERL script itself using ENV function but it still doesn't work, failed with very same error. And yes I do set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to $ORACLE_HOME/lib directory. Moreover, if I run the PERL script manually from a shell where I dont inherit .profile, it fails with very same error, so it is related to the environment issues but I have no idea how to fix it. I read somewhere the setting those env variable in PERL script itself doesn't help because by the time PERL get executed all the compilers are already initialized and and they don't use those environement variables anymore then. So the question is how to make it work?
I would really appreciate if someone can help me fixing this, it's gonna change my life here :)
DB Version: 10.2.0.2 (also tested on 11R2, same problem)
OS: SUSE Linux 64 bit
And here is my libclntsh file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib

I haven't done this myself, but it seems like it is possible in Tomcat.
You can configure Tomcat to handle .cgi calls (it does this via a CGI servlet)
http://www.ftponline.com/javapro/2003_03/online/perl_teden_03_18_03/
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/cgi-howto.html
Once this is set up, theoretically you should be able to then use requestdispatcher and forward/include a cgi script to invoke the perl.
I don't know if you are using Tomcat or not though... :-)

Calling a perl script from stored procedure

Can anyone tell me how to call/run a perl script from a stored procedure? If you have a sample code, please include it.
Thanks in advance

If you have a web server setup that runs perl, you can do this by using the utl_http package...Here is some code I use to run a perl script and print the results to a web page on our site.
The in_URL parameter is the address of the perl code(i.e. http://website/path/perlscript?param1=value1&param2=value2 etc)
PROCEDURE call_perl(in_URL VARCHAR2) IS
/* This is setup to allow a perl program to be submitted as a batch program
using the standard Portal batch program.
Sometimes these jobs take a long time to run, so the timeout value must
be set to a large value. The default timeout is 60 seconds, which is not long enough. */
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
value VARCHAR2(1024);
BEGIN
req := utl_http.begin_request(replace(utl_url.escape(replace(in_URL,'%3A',':')),CHR(13)));
utl_http.set_transfer_timeout(req, 18000); -- Set timeout to 5 hours for this specific request.
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
LOOP
utl_http.read_line(resp, value, TRUE);
htp.p(value);
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
EXCEPTION WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
utl_http.end_response(resp);
WHEN utl_http.init_failed THEN
htp.p('INIT FAILED');
WHEN utl_http.request_failed THEN
htp.p('REQUEST FAILED');
htp.p(NVL(utl_http.get_detailed_sqlerrm,' No more detail available.'));
END;
If you don't have a web server setup, I don't know offhand how you could do this.

Shell or perl script from OS command_Sender File Channel

Hi All,
I am trying to execute a perl script from the File Sender Channel(NFS), OS command Before Message Processing. The script works fine if i run it from the shell. But when PI calls the script, the script does not get executed. The audit logs mention that the OS command has been called.
I tried using:
1) /<fullpath>perlScript.pl /<fullpath>filename.dat
2) perl /<fullpath>perlScript.pl /<fullpath>filename.dat
Both these commands work fine when i execute them on the shell.
I am on solaris and PI 7.0. The permission for the perl script and input files are all 777.
FYI.. i am using this perl script to transpose a complex file and make it # delimited file.
I have already read the blogs for OS command and executed some sample scenarios successfully.
I tried to call a shell script that does the same functionality as the perl script. Even that does not work.
Also, wrote a shell script to call the perl script inside it. No luck.
eg:
touch /fullpath>/create_before.dat
perl /<fullpath>perlScript.pl /<fullpath>filename.dat
touch /<fullpath>/create_after.dat
In this case, the create_before.dat and create_after.dat is getting created but the perl is not called. I know this because i cant see the output files of the perl script.

Balaji

Hi,
The problem is fixed. The shell or perl both have logic to transpose a non industry starndard file to the delimited file which PI can use an FCC to pick up.
This was the fix:
we need to mention the shell the script is going to be run in.
In the shell script we mentioned --> *#!/usr/bin/bash* as the first line
normally, when we use the command -- which bash on the unix command prompt, it tells us the path for the bash used.
another option --> #!/usr/bin/ksh
again, on the command prompt -- which ksh command will tell us what ksh is being used.
If the script is a simple one that does copy or move commands, i believe we need not use the commands above. But is a good practice to have them in the script.
Regards,
Balaji

How to run the perl script from java ?

Hi , I need to run the pearl script from the server and to get the result of the script thro' java using SSH
Is there any 3rd party SSH API in java ?
Please help me out
thanks in advance

This seems like a very strange thing to want to do.
What is the perl script doing?
Do other programs (not some shell script) access this server-side perl script from a different machine?
If so how do they do it?
What currently triggers the perl script to execute?
What currently handles the output from the perl script?
If you can answer these questions (and understand the answers) you should be able to come up with a different approach to this.
You do not really want to call a remote perl script from a Java program, you want to achieve the effect you think that would have if you could do it.
So find the answers to the above questions, write them on 3" x 5" cards and lay them out on your desk.
What flow of control needs to happen? Which piece of code needs to produce or consume which piece of data?
If that fails, ask you self or who ever is making you do this what are the use-cases?
If you do not know what use-cases are or do not understand them well enough try reading
Use Case Modeling (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) by Kurt Bittner and Ian Spence (Paperback - Aug 30, 2002)
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-7908514-4043267?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=use+cases&x=0&y=0
It is a short and easy to read book on the subject and also one of the best.
You MUST understand WHAT you are trying to achieve before you can decide HOW you are going to achieve it.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply from everyone.
The attached is my code to call Perl script and after calling this, I need to query the Perl Script by sending command like @help. Do they have a way to query the Perl script by sending command like @help and get the return result.
I think Joseph you are right, but how do I get the return result if I invoke it in a separate dos session.

Shell script from HTML DB ?

Hello
I need to call a shell script from HTML DB
Is it possible ?
Either directly or thru PL/SQL code etc ?
Kindly help
Thanks

Pooja,
Your options are Java stored procedures, run from the database, see:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:952229840241
Alternatively, you can use external procedures (EXTPROC).

Urgent Problem in Executing perl script from shell script

Hello,
I've a shell script on one server (source) and a perl script on another (target).
My perl script will check whether the directoryname, filename provided by shell script exists on the target server or not.
My shell script is as follows:
#! bin/bash
cmd=`ssh user@target "perl /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl"`
echo $cmd
And my perl script uses a package CU_Functions.pm, which is in the same directory as the perl script on the target server.
But when I invoke the perl script from shell script, I get the following error:
Source:user> (db:ias10g12_mid_db) /home/user/perl
$ sh /home/user/arcs/arcs_conn.sh
user@target's password:
Can't locate CU_Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl .) at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
Please let me know if I need to do any configurations prior to call the perl script.

As for the Perl INC, I cannot recall the environment variable that sets that but the following example should work:
ssh user@host "export ENV_VAR=/path/to/include/files:$ENV_VAR ; /full/path/to/script"

Initiating a perl script from a trigger

I want to kick off a perl script from an Oracle trigger. Is this possible?

Not directly. At least as far as I know.
Here's how I see this done.
You should have a sqlplus running in background and waiting for an alert. On receipt of the alert the sqlplus will call a host(my_command) that will kick the named script.

Executing a perl script from within java application

Hi,
Does anyone knows a way to execute a perl script from within java.
---kirk

Runtime.exec("perl myscript.pl");
Of course whether that "works" depends on what the script does and where the java program runs.
