Exeecuting Operating System Commands in Weblogic

Hi,
as part of an offline process every time my database gets updated
I have to call a tool ( Verity ) to create a collection. This is done
from a Servlet where the Administrator simply clicks on a link and the
verity collection is built and updated. Hence, whenever the database
changes I need to call a system command 'mkvdk' to build a collection
( a flat file ).
My servlet is running in Weblogic 4.5. Is it possible to
execute operating system commands in java running in weblogic ? I know
it is possible in java using
Process runProcess =
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(systemcommand);
is it possible under weblogic ? because I have tried it and I get an
I/O error .....
Thanks,
Gavin

Is it possible to call operating system command after file receive?

Hi expert,
I'm trying to call operating system command after file receive comm.channel receive a txt file.
operating system command uses txt file name as parameter.
Is it possible? How?
Thanks.

Hi,
It should be possible, actually we have two options that are
1.RUN OS command before message processing
2.RUN OS command after message processing.
So you can give the commands in the RUN OS command after message processing.

How to Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing SAP PI

Hi,
We are trying to execute multiple commands via "Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing".
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands get executed fine.
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
/this works fine/
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands, none of the commands get executed.
eg:
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
or
wc -l %F > /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Is it possible to execute multiple commands or redirect the output of commands without using a shell script? The PI server we are working on iis hosted on UNIX environment.

Hi Harleen,
try like this
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
instead of semicolon try this
(1) &
command1 & command2
Execute Command1 and then execute Command2
(2) &&
command1 && command2
Runs the command2 only when command1 doesn't Complete successfully
(3) ||
command1 || command2
Runs the second command if the first command had an error
(4) ()
(command1 || command2) || (command3 & command4)
Defines the order in which commands are to be executed

Unzip file using operating system command in file/ftp receiver adapter

Hi,
I'm wonderdering how to unzip a zip-file in the receiver file/ftp adapter. I know it is possible to do it using the 'Operating system command' feature, but somehow the command I use seems to be ignored! (I'm using SP14, unix).
The command I entered is quite simple: unzip %F (also tried the %f, but i guess it doesn't really matter wich on I use).
Is it possible that I'm unzipping to another directory than the one i expect? the unzip should be performed to/in the current directory, and assumingly current directory is the one stated in the 'Target Directory', right?
Hope someone can clearify this issue for me.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
It seems to me also, that the files are being unzipped to a different location than what you are expecting. The OS command might getting executed in some default location(i am trying to fnd that out)on the server and not in the target directory of the channel(It seems logical to me)....
If you have time...pls try this out & see whether this would help...
Have a shell script written with the following commands in them
cd <path to target directory>
unzip $1(filename from the channel)
and in the OS command in the Channel give....
<absolute path to the .sh file> %F
Thanks,
Renjith.

File Adapter 7.11 - set operating system command line dynamically

Hi,
is there any way to set the "Operating System Command Line" in the file adapter as ASMA / dynamic attribute?
I need to set a command line exec depending on some XSL mapping values.
thx
holger

hi,
>>>is there any way to set the "Operating System Command Line" in the file adapter as ASMA / dynamic attribute?
>>>I need to set a command line exec depending on some XSL mapping values.
think about this approach:
you put the XSL values into the filename after the real name of the file
in the batch script you use those values in order to execute a dynamic exe command
after processing you just change the name of the file in the script by removing the xsl values
simple ? I think so

But since the file name is Dynamic....How will i call the file at run time in Command Line:
SYNTAX: %f(FileName)
How will i specify the file name in the above syntax as the file name is Dynamic and not constatnt.
Please Advice.

Operating System commands in FTP adapter

Hi
I have a requirement to use "Operating System Command" option in the Sender/Receiver side File Adapter.
And in help.sap.com they have brief notes on this.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
When I tried to execute some valid DOS commands like MKDIR,RENAME etc it didn't work at all.
But process has been sucessfully completed without any error!!!
System : XI 3.0 SP 11
Can anyone has any inputs on this ? Pls share me some ideas with example. Is there is any limitations on this feature?
Note: When I tried to give invalid commands hfjkhfkasdjfh,asdjdhas etc, still it is not giving any error!!. Still my File Adapter as well as entire process is successfully completed.

Hi,
A couple of cautionary notes.
The OS command is executed after the file has been processed, e.g. read successfully by a sender adapter or created successfully by a receiver adapter.
The file name processed can be accessed using %f in the OS command.
The OS command must include the full directory path, or XI will assume the current directory which may not be where your command resides.

Operating System Command After File Processing in Sender File Adapter

Hello guys,
actually we have different interfaces, and the client to take all the files from only one directory, for example D:/DPI.
Unitl now we had one adapter for every file with the content conversion, so we didn't have problems with that. Now we have the problem that we sould maintain an order processing files.
We thougth that an idea could be to execute one file pointing to D:/DPI and at the Operating System Command put like: copy D:/DPI/file.txt D:/DPI/outbound/file.txt, so when file is executed, we move the next file to another directory where is pointing the adapter. Doing this we have an error on the adapter giving us the message: Could not process due to error: java.lang.NullPointerException
We are using a Windows.
There is anyway to do in our way, or there is a better solution to resolve this problem?
Any other idea to do this?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Helo Guys,
maybe I haven't explained well.
We have one directory with different files. We have one adapter for every file( we need for the content conversion ) using NFS and all the adapters are pointing to the same directory.
The problem is that if we have files A.txt, B.txt and C.txt we need to process in an order.
And the problem we see is that for every file we have one adapter, so for example if we process file A.txt with one adapter, when this part is finished, we want to process file B.txt with another adapter, and the same for the rest of the files.
So the idea we had is to create another directories, and when A.txt has finished move file B.txt to another directory.
However this way is not running, if we log on the PI machine and execute cmd, we can do a copy of one file from one directory to another, but when we put this sentence in the adapter in OS command if we see the adapter log we see an error executing the OS command, but we don't know what is the error, there is no more information.
There is any way to do this or maybe we have to manage in a different way?
Many thanks in advance.

Xavi.

Run operating system command for sender File adpter (NFS)

Hi All,
iam doing a file to RFC scenario, using 'Run operating system command' in sender file adapter to change the file name while archiving (after processing completed).
I mention OS command like this:
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
Rename.bat file calls a 'perl script' code.
when i run interface, could see below statement in adapter log ->
"Execute OS command "
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
but the script was not run and file name was not changed.
Please advice what could be the problem?
Does this mean script executed successfully?
Do i need install perl software on XI server, even perl script (.bat file) is executing on sample_server?
Thanks in advance..

Rajesh

RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND BEFORE MESSAGE PROCESSING

hi.
just i want to know what is the purpose of run operating system command before message processing,after message processing under file sender adapter.
waiting for your great answer.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hello Seeta,
let me see if I give it using a simple scenario that I implamented : i nedd to transfer a very large file from one server to the other by XI.
to save space and network traffic I use an OS command before picking up the file to run a zip command to zip the file.
after I transfer the file to the target server I run another OS command after the transfer to unzip the file.
now to your second question:
the before Os command on the target server is used mostly for checks (make sure there isn't a file by that name or backing up existing data)
and the after sender OS command is usualy for backing up or erasing existing files (cause it is done only after the first part was finished succesfully).
Uri Lifshitz.
p.s.
there was a blog obout this titled "XI as a huge file mover"
and you can see a description and my scripts at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/profile/2007/05/03/additionaltipsforusingXIasahugefiletransfer%28withbatchscripts%29&

Problem with zip operating system command

Hello,
i have the following configuration in the file receiver adapter:
Directory: /tmp/
File Name Scheme: %name%.txt
Variable substitution:
Variable Name: name Reference: payload: record,1,name,1
Run Operating system command:
/usr/bin/zip /tmp/%f.zip %F
The execution is succesful, but i have a small problem. The file name is "file.txt.zip", the .txt should appear but i dont know how to skip it, I have tried so many ways but it doesnt work, I should receive a file called "file.zip" With a file inside in txt format...
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Sriram,
Thanks, but that wouldnt work out, Im using the %f for my file name, so this move command shouldnt work for me, because my filename changes in every execution, so I cant write something like this: mv file.txt.zip file.zip
The only solution I see would would be a command which deals with strings and that could remove the four last characters of "%f"..but I havent found anything for doing it.
Regards,
Luis

Operating System Command in JDBC Sender

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to find some syntax to execute an operating system command on Windows Server 2003, but the commands don't seem to work I'm actually trying to generate a directory, now the problem is that I can't find syntax examples on how to do this I tried something like MKDIR TEST, now is the syntax of the command lines as you write them in Command Prompt, or maybe there is my error, thanks in advance.
Regards,

Confirmed.
JDBC sender also support OS command.
Refer to note 841704 if you face any issue while executing OS command in JDBC adapter.
Note: OS Command execute when processing in database executed successfully. It is even independent on OS command Errors.
Thanks

Unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command

Using XI 3.0, I am unable to run a Batch File Operating System Command After Message Processing.
My Batch file:
gpg -se -r BOA3RSKY --armor --passphrase-fd 0 %1 < C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\gpgin
My Command Line (ID scenario)
exec "cmd.exe /c C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat %F"
If I execute
exec "cmd.exe /c type C:\Progra~1\GNU\GnuPG\boagpg.bat >xis.txt"
It displays the contents of boagpg.bat file in xis.txt.
I just don't understand why when I run the batch file, I would expect an %F.asc encrypted file in the same directory as the %F unencrypted file.
Any ideas?
or will I need Basis to create commands that will allow me to run GPG from XI Command Line?
