Getting return code from remote script after Unix rsh call

I hope one of you guys can help me with this issue. I think I've gotten the 'rsh' command to work from the CES application so that the sqr report generation can execute on a remote machine (instead of the app server machine). I'm actually doing this by having the app still execute the ces_sqr script, however, now the ces_sqr script will just have an 'rsh' command in it which will cause the actual real sqr processing to occur remotely.
I am executing a Unix script which does a remote shell call to another script on a remote machine. The remote script sends a return code when run locally, however, how can I get the calling rsh script to get that return code?
If I do the following in the rsh script:
rsh -l resdev morph "/dev/bin/remote_script"
rc=$?
echo "$rc\n"
then the return code that I get is not actually the return code from the remote_scrpit, but it is the return code from the rsh command that is 0 (success) because the rsh command actually executed successfully even though the remote_script could've returned something other than success. How can I get the return code from the remote_script passed back to the rsh calling script?

Getting return code from subprocess execution

Hi,
I am executing a batch file as a subprocess and need to get the return code from it.
The batch file executes a java class, which exits (System.exits(rc)) with a return code on error and how this can be captured in the calling program.
i am calling the batch file as follows: (fragment)
Runtime r;
process p = r.exec(execCmd, null, mqsiToolFile);
istr = p.getInputStream();
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(istr));
returnCode = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("exit value: "+p.exitValue());
This successfully executes the subprocess and always returns with code '0', even though the sub-process exits with a code >0.
p.waitFor() or p.exitValue() - doesn't giving the exit value of the subprocess.
How can i capture the exit value (System.exit(rc)) from the sub-process.
I am running the app on Windows NT4 sp6
Any help would be greatful.
Thanks in Advance.

Peter,
can u be more explanative on this, i can see the run time result (0, 1). But couldn't get familiar on the sample you have given.
My code is as follows:
Process p = null;
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
for loop {
execSubProcess(.., .., ..)
public int execSubProcess(String excmd, String[] env, File fileDir) throws Exception {
int res = 0;
     try {
          System.out.println(excmd);
          p = r.exec(excmd, null, fileDir);
          istr = p.getInputStream();
          br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(istr));
          line = null;
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(line);
          res = p.waitFor();
     System.out.println("sub-process return code: "+p.waitFor());
          System.out.println("sub-process exitValue: "+p.exitValue());
     } catch (Exception e) {
     throw e;
     return res;
Here i get all the time 'res=0' , even though the subprocess execCmd exits with a return code > 0.
Is tehre any environment setup or ..needed to capture the subprocess exit code val (System.exit(rc)) in the calling program.
Please provide more details as per ur convinience.
thanks

Getting return value from sqlplus script while running a unix job

I am trying to run a unix script that calls sqlplus. The following code outlines the unix/sql code that I trying to execute:
return_count=`sqlplus $ORACLE_ID/$ORACLE_PWD@$ORACLE_SID <<EOF | grep '^RETURN_VAL' | sed 's/^RETURN_VAL//'
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
VARIABLE ReturnValue NUMBER
EXEC :ReturnValue := 1
BEGIN
UPDATE seq_control_nbr
SET table_seq_nbr = table_seq_nbr + 1,
last_updt_dttmstp = systimestamp,
last_updt_user_id = 'ECVMSONS'
WHERE table_key = 'ONSTAR';
IF SQL%ROWCOUNT = 1 THEN
COMMIT;
:ReturnValue := 0;
ELSE
ROLLBACK;
:ReturnValue := 99;
END IF;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('RETURN_VAL '||:ReturnValue);
END;
EXIT
EOF`
The above outlined sqlplus script does run because the values on the table are updated. However, I cannot get the value of ReturnValue to be displayed, so it can be returned to the unix script.
Any ideas?

ok do the following:-
return_count=`sqlplus $ORACLE_ID/$ORACLE_PWD@$ORACLE_SID <<EOF
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
whenever OSERROR exit 1
whenever SQLERROR exit 2
UPDATE seq_control_nbr
SET table_seq_nbr = table_seq_nbr + 1,
last_updt_dttmstp = systimestamp,
last_updt_user_id = 'ECVMSONS'
WHERE table_key = 'ONSTAR';
EXIT
EOF`
rowsupdated=`echo $return_count|cut -f1 -d' '`
echo "Rows updated =" $rowsupdated
retcode=`echo $?`
case "$retcode" in
0) echo "Update executed successfully on " ;;
1) echo "Update failed OSERROR ";;
2) echo "Update failed SQLError " ;;

Hello experts
My requirement is to send file to Mainframe server in a JOBQ.I used a socket to connect to server. A designated FTP ID is provided for authentication.
I tried to FTP file to mainframe sever, but while getting return code from server, i m recieving Junk values.I am reading return code through BufferReader.readline().
I have set up the connection mode to ASCII mode.I tried to set up the connection mode to EBSIDIC mode too, but i revieve the same error.
Any one have tried to FTP file to mainframe in got the same error.What could be the possible reason.
Here is the error looks like :-

Return codes from sqlplus_exec_template

OWB'ers
Environment:
OWB 10g (10.1.0.2.0)
Repository and target schema - Oracle9i (9.2.0.4) on AIX 5.2
I am executing the 'sqlplus_exec_template.sql' script to execute a Process Flow. It executes the Process Flow just fine.
When I put the SQL*Plus command line in a UNIX script as so:
sqlplus -s owb_rtu/owb_rtu @sqlplus_exec_template OWB_RTR GWW_FLOW_LOCATION_1 PROCESS LOAD_BUSINESS_UNITS "," ","
... and then test the return code using $?, it returns a '1' for a successful execution.
I understand that the package that is executed by the SQL script (wb_rt_api_exec) will return 1=success, 2=warning and 3=error. No problem.
However, when I test the return status of the actual SQL*Plus command I also get a '1' when the PL/SQL script executes successfully!!??!!??
The log file produced from the SQL script shows the following:
Session altered.
Role set.
Stage 1: Decoding Parameters
| location_name=GWW_FLOW_LOCATION_1
| task_type=ProcessFlow
| task_name=LOAD_BUSINESS_UNITS
Stage 2: Opening Task
| l_audit_execution_id=12300
Stage 3: Overriding Parameters
Stage 4: Executing Task
| l_audit_result=1 (SUCCESS)
Stage 5: Closing Task
Stage 6: Processing Result
| exit=1
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
So, if the PL/SQL procedure completes successfully, why do I get a '1' return code to my UNIX script?
UNIX thinks that is an error condition.
When I purposely made an error in my SQL*Plus command line the UNIX script returned a '1', as expected, when encountering a script error.
How then do I tell the difference between a SQL command error that returns a '1' and a successful completion of the PL/SQL package that also returns a '1'?
I have tried the Process Flow with the 'Use Return as Status' set to both True and False with the same results.
I am trying to set up scripts that will run in Autosys and I need to check the return codes of the jobs and notify the appropriate people if there is a problem. Like UNIX, Autosys thinks a '1' return code is an error condition.
So it appears that the SQL*Plus command invoked in a UNIX script is returning the exit status of the 'wb_rt_api_exec' package invoked in the SQL script and not the actual result of the PL/SQL procedure that calls the package.
How do I get the SQL*Plus command executed from the UNIX script to return a zero (0) upon a successful completion and a non-zero upon an error?
Is the package somehow overpowering the return code from SQL*Plus?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Gary

Jean-Pierre
Thanks very much for the response. I will find that SQL script you mention and see if I can use it or modify it to meet our needs.
We have standardized on using Autosys as our job scheduling product and are using it for all the ERP jobs in addition to the ETL jobs.
In that light I would be very interested in having a closer tie between OWB and Autosys. We aren't in a position to be a very good beta customer at this point due to a very tight implementation schedule for the next few months. After that it might be possible for us to help test that new functionality.
Thanks again, we really appreciate your efforts in this discussion group.

Are return codes from APIs different when upgrading DOT from 8.0.3 to 8.1.4/8.2.3 (7-mode only)

Customer is looking to upgrade from DOT 8.0.3 to 8.1.4/8.2.3 (7-mode). There are no real API changes between these upgrades other than additional functionality being added. Howver, are the return codes from APIs any different when upgrading DOT from 8.0.3 to 8.1.4/8.2.3 (7-mode only)? Any help on this to help confirm would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I had the Portal 3.0.6/3.0.7/3.0.8 to Portal 3.0.9 upgrade scripts and instructions, but thought that was my last step. I hesitated on running the Portal Configuration Assistant. None of the instructions told me what to do at this point.
Anyways, it looks that by running the Portal Configuration Assitant at the end of the 1.0.2.2 9iAS install, it created a new repository for Portal 3.0.9 in my database. Since I gave it a different schema name, I now have two portal repositories. The old Portal 3.0.6 repository (jvac_portal30) and the new Portal 3.0.9 repository (j_portal30).
So, I assume I have to perform the upgrade scripts on the Portal 3.0.6 repository to get it to 3.0.9. Since we really did not have very much in the repository, we may just manually recreate everything in the new 3.0.9 repository. I have ssen several discussion threads about the upgrade and problems, so I am very leary to do it.
In regards to our J Server propblem, we left for lunch. Came back and rebooted several more times, double checked all our configuration files (made no changes), stopped and restarted Apache several more times, and then by some miracle everything started working.

While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get

While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get to the chat. Please advise!!!!

MoeGhazal I reviewed your account and it looks like you have have upgraded from a CS4 volume license for Design Premium to a retail upgrade of Design Premium 5.5.
I also show that you made two purchases of CS5.5 Design Premium but the second purchase was canceled. Please make sure you are utilizing the serial number which ends in 7886.
If you are using the correct serial number then it is likely the installer will not recognize your volume license CS4 serial number as being valid for an upgrade. If you can contact our support team then you can be walked through an unlocking procedure to allow you to proceed with the installation. You can contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care. You may want to try installing a web browser you have not previously utilized. It is likely a toolbar or some other software application is affecting your ability to access chat support successfully.
If you are still unable to reach our support team then please verify the information under your account is accurate. If you can please then update this discussion after confirming this then I can request a member of our support team contact you directly.
Again I would recommend reaching out directly if possible as it will be the most efficient method of resolving your current error.

Getting return code as 1 for SD_SHIPMENT_PROCESS_HU

Hi All,
Could you please tell me what is the use of SD_SHIPMENT_PROCESS_HU function module.
I am debugging one standard program in that after processing this FM in SD_SHIPMENT_PROCESS Function module getting return code is 1.
Could you please tell me,what might be the reason.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,

Hi Rama,
if you will look into the specified function module
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_SHIPMENT_PROCESS_HU'
IMPORTING
    e_logfile =                 " v56e_logfile
CHANGING
    c_activities =              " v56e_shipment_activities
    c_shipment =                " v56e_shipment
EXCEPTIONS
    ERROR = 1                   "
so if you are getting returned code as 1, it means there is any error.

Capture return code from system command?

Can someone please tell me what is the easiest way to capture the return code when executing a system command?
In other words I wish to execute a say a perl script and capture the return code from it.
Any help is appreciated.

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("blah.exe");
p.waitFor();
System.out.println("Return code from blah.exe"+ p.exitValue());

Return code from Client_host command

Hi,
Is it possible to get the return code from the os when I issue the webutil Client_Host procedure?
Thanks,

Mary
You can use the WEBUTIL_HOST.HOST method instead of CLIENT_HOST. It is overloaded as both a Procedure and a function; the latter returns the client return code.

Hi,
returning to this.
Since last:
- Got 2.0.1 iso: No change
- Tried increasing ram: No change
- Test installed on an alternative vm guest on same subnet as GroupWise server: Succes
So I guess it must some kind of networking issue:
- I am installing on a dmz vm guest
- Checked my firewalls: No packets seems to get blocked
- Checked the soap interface from my mobility test server http://<groupwise-ip>:7191/soap, which returns POA response as expected
From install.log:
Wed Mar 26 21:48:14 CET 2014: Datasync.Write:executing: python /opt/novell/datasync/syncengine/connectors/mobility/cli/mobility_setup_5.pyc --provision 'groupwise' --galuser 'admin' --block false --selfsigned true --path '' --lport '443' --secure true

Any suggestions?

ouch, that is rather tight and might be low enough to cause you some
grief. 2GB has worked well enough for small deployments for me, though I
have had to push up to the official minimum of 4GB once some real load
got placed on it.
I would recommend getting that box up to 2GB and try the install again.

Was this run on this Mobility server? If not then do test from this
Mobility VM. A to make sure the DMZ to LAN route lets it through as well
as the SLES firewall on the Mobility server.
