Experts call a operating system command

Hello,
I have following question about experts.
It is possible with OMBPLus or experts call a operating system command e.g svn checkout?
It would great if you give me a example!
goodbye

Hi
You should be able to use the tcl exec command to call svn command....
for example;
exec C:\\Program\ Files\\Subversion\\bin\\svn help
Cheers

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

File adapter operating system command exit code

Hello,
If you call an operating system command in the file adapter, how is the exit code of the command handled? The documentation says nothing about this.
If I call 'true', I expect the file adapter to succeed.
If I call 'false', I expect the file adapter to fail.
Hope someone can calrify.
Best regards
/Otto Frost

Hi, Yes, you are rigth, it spawns a subprocess, that runs without control.
In java you use Runtime.exec().
It returns a process.
process.exitValue() returns an int.
The process is already used to terminate the process after timeout I suppose.
You would like to be able to have the fileadapter succeed or fail depending on this exitValue.
Depending on the command you execute, the exit code is different. RTFM on unix.
You would like to define which codes should be treated as success, and which ones that should be treated as failure.
true typically returns 0 and false not 0
However, a comparison command could for example return 0 for equal, -1 if the frist argument is smaller and 1 if the first argument is larger.
For the diff command, Exit status is 0 if inputs are the same, 1 if different, 2 if trouble.
Thanks
/Otto

CCMS Auto-React: Operating System Commands

Hi Gurus,
I want to run an operating system command in the event that an alert is raised in my CEN CCMS system.
I have set up the operating system command in SCEN (using SM69) and tested it -- no problems. I have used the example given on help.sap.com. It works great from SM69 or SM49.
I have created a custom MTE Auto-Reaction Method that is a copy of the SAP standard and it points to the logical name of the op system command I created in SM69.
But, when I assign the Auto-Reaction method to an MTE and kick off the auto-reaction, nothing happens. I have tried assigning it auto-reaction method as a method for a local MTE and also as a central auto-reaction, but I get nothing.
Please help me see what I am missing.
Many thanks in advance,
Nic Doodson

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the response, I hope you can help.
Logical command is called: Z_NI_ALERT_OVO
It calls the operating system command: /usr/sap/tmp/test.sh
It allows additional parameters.
test.sh is :
#!/usr/bin/sh
echo $2 alert from $1 Message $5 $4 > /usr/sap/tmp/alert_$3.txt
I can run this from SM49/SM69 and it works fine.
Method is: Z_SEND_ALERT_TO_OVO
Calls function module: SALO_EXECUTE_SYSTEM_COMMAND_V2
Can be executed on: Any Server
Execution Method: Periodically in Dialog Process
Parameters:
COMMAND : Z_NI_ALERT_OVO
PARAMATERS : <blank>
REACT_ON_ALERTS : red
MTENAME : SID/SEGMENT/CONTEXT/OBJECT/ATTRIBUTE
PARAMLIST_1: COLOR DATE_TIME MSG
PARAMLIST_2: ID
Help!
I can only think there is something about it being a local/centrally distrubuted auto-reaction method...I'm assigning it as a cenrally distributed auto-reaction method.
Any input would be great.
Cheers,
Nic

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.
Check this links for more info

Calling Operating System Commands from PL/SQL using java

Calling Operating System Commands from PL/SQL - The Java Way
wlth help of given thread link,
Calling OS Commands from Plsql
but i had user privilege problem
Declare

Begin
x := OSCommand_Run('/tmp/sri/GROUP_ho.sh');
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(x);
End;
o/p;
can't exec: /tmp/sri/GROUP_ho.sh lacks user privilege
i done the grant privillage also
part
dbms_java.grant_permission('abcd', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
dbms_java.grant_permission('abcd', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
dbms_java.grant_permission('
abcd', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission','<<ALL FILES>>', 'execute');
again
get
can't exec: /tmp/sri/GROUP_ho.sh lacks user privilege
same error;

Process management at the OS level should prevent execution continuing in the calling code until the command has completed (either successfully or with error).
If the low level java code were to spawn child process threads then execution could continue, but I'm guessing the Java function your talking about doesn't do that and just calls the operating system to execute the command and waits for the returning code to come back.

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

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

Re: Error while Execute External Operating System Command using T.code SM49

Dear Experts,
I Have uploaded one .exe file in the application server (eg: sum.exe) and created the OS command in SM69 transaction .
And maintained the application server path in the 'operating system command' field in SM69 t.code.
Our SAP system, oprating system is UNIX.
After I have executed the external command using transaction SM49 , but I got the below error.
Can not execute external program (permission denied) , External program terminated with exit code 1
Immediately I run the SU53 transaction code to check the authorization, but Authorization was successful.
Could any one please help on this error.
Thanks in advance.

>>Can not execute external program (permission denied) , External program terminated with exit code 1
You need to give the permission as 755 to your file.
>>I Have uploaded one .exe file in the application server (eg: sum.exe)
You are on UNIX and do not expect to any result of .exe file as UNIX doesn't know about this.

Operating system command to zip the file

Hi Experts,
I got proxy to file scenario, i can place the text file successfully in reciever side, i want to zip the file in reciever side using operating system command option in reciever Communication Channel.
Can anyone please give me the operating system command to create the zip file in reciever side.
Kind Regards,
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
>>Can anyone please give me the operating system command to create the zip file in reciever side.
Why OS commands and not the PayloadZipModule?
If you need OS commands check this blog of Michal /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions
Update
You can try this command too
cmd /C "jar cMf \\<folderpath>test1.zip \\<folderpath>*.*"
