Execve: Exec format error to execute shell script

I made job to execute a shell script.
exec dbms_scheduler.create_job (
job_name => 'run_sh',
job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',
job_action=> '/fsoracle/app/oracle/inst2/if_cft/send_file_susin.sh',

This script is well executed in terminal mode, but it threwed error, [ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: Unknown error STANDARD_ERROR="execve: Exec format error"] when I executed the shell script, send_file_susin.sh.
I changed owners and chmods of some specific files, and t.sh was well executed.
t.sh
#!bin/ksh
/usr/bin/mkdir /tmp/test
I don't know what's wrong with the script, send_file_susin.sh.
Does any know about this? Please, tell me the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Jinbae Kim.

Hi,
Posting this in case anyone else find it.
The key error here is "execve: Exec format error" .
The following things should be checked
- that the shell script is a text file has UNIX line terminators
- that the shell script is set to be executable by the user that the job runs as
- that the shell script begins with a hashbang line - e.g. #!/bin/sh (I suspect this is the problem)
For running external jobs on 10gR2 or below, refer to this post Guide to External Jobs on 10g with dbms_scheduler e.g. scripts,batch files
For running external jobs on 11g and up, please use a credential.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Also getting same error with FM-SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE & SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE
Can any one guide what is the cause of error.
Any help will be appreciated.

Check the Sample program. You can test or check the Unix commands using the below program.
You can use the commands Like LS to list all the files.
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.
"7 full perimission to read
"7 full permission to change
"7 full permission to delete
unixcom = 'CHMOD 777 fillfullpath'.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
data: lines type i.

Problem executing shell script for rwrun

hi..
I wrote a shell script to make a report similar to the batch file in windows.
My OS is Suse 8.0 with oracle installed in it..
I have the script like this..I used 2 lexical parameters for my rep file.
/opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh test techy/techy@simone batch=yes desname=test_3.pdf destype=file desformat=pdf atable=\'\' whereford=\'protokolle.haendlernummer=\'Ludwigsburg\' and\'
This one works fine but the one below doesn't give any output. The pdf fiel is just empty. I wonder y,,may be any problems with the spaces or escape characters.I didn't get any error when executed the scripts.
/opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh test techy/techy@simone batch=yes desname=test_3.pdf destype=file desformat=pdf atable=\'\' whereford=\'protokolle.haendlernummer like \'L%\' and\'
thanx and waiting for soem one to answer..
regards
Kovi

I solved it by doing the following..
opt/oracle/OraHome1/bin/rwrun.sh test techy/techy@simone batch=yes desname=test_3.pdf destype=file desformat=pdf atable=\\'\\' whereford=\\'\\ protokolle.haendlernummer\\ like\\ \\'L%\\'\\ and\\'
from the Java Program..
Important thing I discoverd is there should be a space at the beginning like whereford=' prot...' and it sok now..
thanx ...but I still has other probelm now..which is to invoke the report from a servlet which executes this shell script..Problem with DISPLAY variable..I cannot run rwrun.sh without DISPLAY variable..
Is there any way to set this variable for tomcat service.

RMAN errors sent to shell script calling RMAN sequence?

Hello,
I have a Korn shell script run on Solaris as the root user that launches RMAN sequences similar to this one:
#!/bin/ksh
su - oracle -c "export ORACLE_SID=ORCL; rman target / << !
<rman sequence>
I am wondering if there is a way to catch the RMAN errors in the shell script?
If I call SQLplus instead of RMAN, I can use "whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode" and I will retrieve the error code in the shell script from $? - can I do such a thing with RMAN?
Thank you,
Adrian

You could capture the return code *$?* from your RMAN script and if it returns anything other than 0, then you could grep the RMAN log for errors and/or query
V$RMAN_OUTPUT after the RMAN script executes.

Hi Vamsi.
The exactly erro refers to a problems when you try upgrade from these version to 11.5.10.
Can you read this note and apply solution? The note refers a patch, but the problem is the same.
After Patch 4334965, adstrtal.sh & adstpall.sh is failing with errors [ID 360046.1]

Execute Shell Script through Demantra Workflow

Hi All ,
Can we execute shell script from Demantra Workflow ?
If yes where should we place the shell script file and wat should be the commandline command in the step .
We have the Demantra installed on a windows server and the workflow manager is on a linux server .
the batch file on the windows server can be executed through the secure shell from the linux server .
I am trying to achieve the same through thr demantra workflow
Appreciate any input on the same .
Thanks and regards
Suzy

Hi,
Shell script is not supported till Demantra 7.2.0.2 WF.
I have checked with Oracle team also and reply I got below for your reference:
QUESTION
*=========*
As per your details, shall we conclude like this:
*"only *.bat and *.exe files can be used in workflow. Demantra standard functionality doe*
*s not support shell script in workflow"*
ANSWER
*=======*
Hi ,
The Demantra standard functionality 7.2.0.2 does support shell script in workflow.
Thanks,
Asya
Please review the note#468071.1-Unable to Run EBS Workflows that Call EngineManager.exe in
You will find this note is referring to the Enhancement Request Bug 6644455-- ANALYTICAL ENGINE
NOT AVAILABLE ON UNIX/LINUX
But the enhancement bug exist and I hope it is fixed in Demantra 7.3.

Upgraded ROX filer not executing shell scripts

Hi all,
I run ICEWM+ROX filer as my lite desktop but after a recent upgrade, ROX does not execute shell scripts on mouse click. It appears that filetype detection has changed so that all scripts are shown with the shellscript icon, whereas before those without a .sh extension where shown with the kde type "cogwheel".
Any tips much appreciated.
My thanks in advance!

I've found a lot of things I don't like about the latest ROX upgrade... too much caching nowadays in my opinion.

Finding path to source executed shell script

Hello,
I have shell script A which executes shell script B. The scripts A and B reside in the same directory.
Following requirements:
Scripts A and B need to be source executed.
The directory where A and B resides should be anywhere.
The present working directory from where A is executed should be anywhere.
The directory of scripts A and B may not be defined in $PATH.
The current shell could be any Bourne or Korn shell, Linux or Unix.
Problem:
Let's assume scripts A and B are installed in "/custom".
The users working directory is /home/oracle and he executes "source /custom/A".
If script A executes "source ./B", the result would be "source /home/oracle/B", which will fail.
Possible Solution:
Since script A is being sourced, $0 will always be the name of the current shell and not the name and path to script A.
I have not found a universal solution to locate the absolute path of a shell script that is being source executed.
So I was wondering about defining a variable in script A. e.g. SCRIPT_HOME=./custom. When script A executes "source $SCRIPT_HOME/B" it will work, but then script A needs to be customized by the user.
I could write a script C that edits script A to search and edit the SCRIPT_HOME variable. For this to work I will have to verify that script C is not source executed, and that script A is in the same directory as C based on $0. This is not a problem..
The question however is whether I need to create script C, or could simply execute script A with -config argument to edit itself and exit. I would prefer the later case and from what I understand, Unix and Linux do not lock files by default and this should be possible.
Any comments or suggestions please?
Thanks!
Edited by: Dude on Apr 5, 2011 3:59 AM

The $_ solution is actually very simple:
$ cat thatsme
mypath=$(dirname $_)
echo "$mypath/B"
$ source /home/oracle/thatsme
/home/oracle/BI do not need the absolute path of script A. The relative path from my current directory will do as well.
But, it does not work with an alias:
$ alias thatsme='source /home/oracle/thatsme'
$ thatsme
./B

Error executing shell script using dbms_scheduler

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.
Or take a look at Metalink Note:391820.1 - Scheduled Job Running Shell Script Fails With ORA-27369

Executing shell script through PL/SQL

Hi,
I need some help regarding execution of shell script through Oracle PL/SQL.
I have a shell script present in /abc/xyz folder with name search.sh , Through a PL/SQL procedure I am creating a file to store the report data.
I want to execute /abc/xyz/search.sh from the PL/SQL procedure to delete all files created before 3 mins .
1.     At first I took Java route and got following permissions granted for RECON user.
GRANT USER SYS java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute ENABLED 351
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission readFileDescriptor * ENABLED 350
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission writeFileDescriptor * ENABLED 349
2.     Then I created a simple java class for execution of OS command as below
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "OSCommand" AS
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
int ext=proc.waitFor();
return ("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
3.     And a wrapper function as below to use this class
create or replace
FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
4.     In my PL/SQL proceedure I am using following code to execute the command
v_Return := OSCommand_Run('/abc/xyz/search.sh');
to execute the shell script.
Proceedure executes without any error and generates a new csv file with report data , however shell script does not get executed and hence all csv files created earlier remain as it is in the folder.
Please help.

What happens if you remove the catch exception block from your java command?
I asume you still might have a permission issue. But it could be hidden from you, because of the exception is catched and printed into nirvana.Executed the wrapper function OSCOMMAND_RUN as below
DECLARE
v_Return VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
v_Return := OSCOMMAND_RUN('/recon/html/invoice/search.sh' );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_Return = ' || v_Return);
END;
And following is the result
v_Return = 0
Process exited.
In case of exception it would had printed the exception.
One more thing I noticed, even though I have taken following permissions
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/*     execute     ENABLED     347
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/xyz/*     execute     ENABLED     351
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     <<ALL FILES>>      execute     ENABLED     352
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     readFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     350
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     writeFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     349
When I create a new search.sh in /abc dir I get following error
v_Return = the Permission (java.io.FilePermission /abc/search.sh execute) has not been granted to RECON. The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'RECON', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '/abc/search.sh', 'execute' )

---PROCEDURE TO BE EXECUTED WHICH USES THE ABOVE JAVA CLASS IS ----
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Host_Command (p_command IN VARCHAR2)
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'Host.executeCommand (java.lang.String)';
--- THE PERMISSIONS ---
call dbms_java.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
call dbms_java.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
call dbms_java.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
--- THE SHELL SCRIPT IS -----
#!/bin/sh
# This script removes the carriage returns from the Files having .DAT1 extensions in the /test/ Directory
# and the sends the single line stream to the new file with the use of 'gawk' command
# so finaly the files with same primary name but different secondary name are created
# e.g. file 'test.DAT1' is onverted to 'test.DAT'
# LOOP on /test/ DIRECTORY FOR SEARCHING FILES HAVING EXTENSION *.DAT1
for file_name in `ls /test/*.DAT1`
do
new_file_name=`echo $file_name | sed 's/DAT1/DAT/'`
# SEND THE CONTAINTS OF SELECTED FILE IN LOOP AS A CONTINUOUS STREAM TO NEW FILE NAME USING 'gawk' COMMAND
gawk 'BEGIN { ORS = "''" } { print $0 }' $file_name >> $new_file_name
# ABOVE LINE WILL CREATE A NEW FILE WITH SAME PRIMARY NAME BUT .DAT AS SECONDARY NAME(EXTENSION)
# REMOVE THE PRIOR FILE(s) AFTER SUCCESSFUL CALL TO 'gawk'
# $? returns 0 if the call to gawk command is succesfull
if test 0 = "$?"
then
rm -f $file_name
fi
done
# END LOOP ON /test/ DIRECTORY
---THE CALL TO THE PROCEDURE --
SQL>CALL DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(1000000);
SQL>SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
SQL>exec host('/root/sh ecs_script.sh'); -----------------------------------------------1
now, the statement 1 is the path of the Shell Script ecs_script.sh
which uses gawk command and does some operations on some file..
but when i give the call in Statement 1 its giving error like
/bin/sh is not a directory
so i am not getting wHat should I do so that my script "ecs_script.sh" gets executed..
Please Help.

The Java proc says:
> finalCommand[0] = "/bin/sh";
finalCommand[1] = "-c";
finalCommand[2] = command;
You call it as follows:
SQL>exec host('/root/sh ecs_script.sh');
The final command will be:
/bin/sh -c /root/sh ecs_script.sh
Is this what you intended?
