  • HOST Command in oracle forms 10g

    Hi,
    I need to use HOST command to run an OS(Unix) command in Oracle Forms 10g.
    Its throwing a non-oracle exception during run time.
    Is there any kind of configuration/settings that I need to check before using HOST command?
    Is there any way to capture the error description?
    Any help will be highly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ankit

    Thanks Thangaraj for your valuable suggestion!!
    One question though..
    Should'nt ORACLE_HOME be an absolute path?
    I have added "/bin" in FORMS_PATH but not sure if we can do the same with ORACLE_HOME.
    Can you please suggest?

  • Can't Call host command on Oracle Forms 10g on LINUX  ap server

    I have oracle developer suite 10g installed on Windows.I want to do some file operation in ap server(linux as 3)
    I can use the script in the terminal on linux. but i can't use it on form . this is the button press trigger!
    declare     
         a varchar2(200);
    begin
         a:='mkdir -p /data/apps/ygm';
    --     message(a);

    What should I do?

    Check and make sure you've added the appropriate bin directories in the default.env file. I ran into the same problem with forms on OAS on HP-UX.

  • Use Host command in Oracle forms 6i

    hi
    all
    i use Oracle forms 6i i run in a web and in that i have connect one server so,
    i have to use Host Command and i have to fire this command
    host (' net use \\windchillsvr\e\jyotionline /user:dwg_users dwg_users');
    But it's Not Connect
    My Forms in run in Web
    so help

    JavaBean does d othe job for you but it requires signing process; I used it when I was working on forms6i for our project.
    I could use another approach that is the file type command executable which it stays in client's PC to do it and it does not requires signing at all since I am now working on the Java EE project for downloading and launching the third party tool in client's PC.
    I plan to write a article for forms use, which could do all the heavy WebUtil can do, but not need to go thru the signing process.

  • Use Host command in Oracle Database Trigger

    I need to run Host command from a database trigger in order to execute a sh file in a Solaris, Unix, environment. How can I do it? The database environment is in Solaris and the database is 10g.
    Please let me know as soon as possible.

    Hi,
    read this <http://devtrigger.blogspot.com.br/2012/08/svn-backup-on-unix-or-solaris.html>
    Or
    you can to run in nohup. For example
    You can a script with the command vi about your trigger and run with the sintaxe bellow:
    nohup sqlplus "/as sysdba" @script.sql &
    Where "script.sql" is the name of the your file.
    Kind regards,

  • Host command in oracle forms

    can anyone any one help me on this issue
    i am trying to use host command in a.s which is running in unix o.s to rename one of the file i am using the below command but its not working . can any one tell me whats worng or how to perform this
    the_command := 'mv /dir/filename1 /dir/filename2' ;     
         HOST(the_command,NO_SCREEN);

    I don't think you can do this with host like you did.
    You can create a script which accepts filename1 and filename2 as parameters and call this
    move.sh:
    mv $1 $2
    then call the script
    host('/home/oracle/move.sh /dir/filename1 /dir/filename2', no_screen);
    or if this doesn't work (in windows it works in 6i to call .cmd files without prefixing cmd /c don't know if this is also in unix, but you can try), you can call bash to do this
    host('/bin/bash /home/oracle/and_so_on

  • How to run unix command from Oracle Foms 10g

    OS: UNIX Solaries, Oracle Application Server 10g
    To run shell script from Oracle Forms, I used the following host('/bin/bash /u01/compile.sh') and it works well
    Now, I need to run unix command something like
    host('mv form1.fmx FORM1.FMX') but it's not working
    I tried to append the command "mv form1.fmx FORM1.FMX" to the compile.sh shell script but also it's not working although the rest lines of the shell script is running well

  • Hide user/pwd when  running sqlplus job via HOST cmd in oracle forms

    I have a oracle procedure that returns the run_command string. Ex . ‘sqlplus ui/pwd @report.sql’. The run_command string returned by the procedure is run via the HOST command in oracle Forms.
    HOST(run_command) submits the job but it exposes the ui and pa that is used in the run_command string. On UNIX, if I do ps –ef | grep sqlplus after the job is submitted by the HOST command, I can see the ui/pwd in the run_command.
    How can I submit the job via HOST command without exposing the ui/pwd ?
    Thanks
    GP

    Of course, the Operating System Authenticated account method should only be used if you are running this job on the machine with that's running the Oracle instance. You absolutely do not want to turn on remote authentication. If you're not on the same machine, I would suggest you put the credentials in a file and secure it with filesystem privileges. I generally use a single generic script initiator that logs on and then runs some other script specified on the command line. Something like ...
    username/password
    @&1Note: the extra "--/--" lines ensure that the script fails with invalid login if the credentials are wrong but they get interpreted as comments if the logon succeeds.

  • A HOST command in PL/SQL?

    Hello guys! :)
    I need to execute some SFTP commands on the database server to another SFTP server. In oracle forms theres a built in called "HOST" which executes native commands on the server. Is there something similar to that in PL/SQL?
    Also, im wondering of each call of the "HOST" command opens a new session in CMD. I'll need to log in, submit files, and retrieve files as well. If the HOST command opens a new session everytime, ill lose the login credentials from the first HOST command.
    Anyone know of anything like this thats been done before? Let me know. Thanks.
    Mo

    Duplicate thread
    SFTP in PL/SQL
    Please do not repost if the prior answers don't suit you.
    The answer to your question is obviously there is no HOST command in PL/SQL, as there has never been a HOST command, as Oracle happens to be a RDBMS.
    You could use the external procedure facility, you could also call Java.

  • "Host Command" for SAP HANA

    hi all,
    are there for SAP HANA a "Host Command" (from Oracle), which you can jump from HANA studio or HANA client to the operating system "SUSE Enterprise SERVER"?
    greeting
    ichtouk

    Hi Ichtouk
    the sqlplus command host does not allow you to execute commands on the server you're connected to. Instead, you can execute local command without leaving your current sqlplus session.
    It is by no means an open window to the Oracle servers O/S (would be bad, don't you think?).
    Having said that, SAP HANA does not include a SSH client in the database client software.
    If you want to access the SAP HANA server on O/S level, you really need to use a proper SSH client with a regular O/S user logon.

  • Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

    Hi,
    After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
    1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
    2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
    I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
    Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
    The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
    Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
    Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
    1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
    2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
    Any help would be appreciated

    Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
    I found this on My Oracle Support:
    <h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
    Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
    Sun SPARC Sun OS
    Symptoms:
    When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
    Steps to be followed:
    1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
    2) Locate the following environment variable:
    LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
    #LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
    LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    (This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
    4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
    The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14772/forms.htm#CJAJGAFF

  • HOST command not working in forms 10g

    Hi,
    I have migrated forms 6i to forms 10g, and having a requirement to open sqlplus prompt using a form menu. I have used the below command: -
    "host('sqlplus '||user_name||'/'||pass||'@'||sid, no_screen);"
    But I am not able to get the sqlplus window, and the main form is still in process for long time, till i bounce the server.
    The forms are deployed on Oracle Applications Server 10g and i want to run it on server side.
    Please help me with the problem.
    Thanks,
    Ankit

    The deployment architecture is different between forms 10g and forms 6i.
    In Forms 6i HOST built-in command will run on the client machine since you are running as client/server, but in WebForms (Forms10g) the HOST built-in command will run on the middle tier which is your application server machine.
    In order to run hosts commands in WebForms you need to use webutil and use CLIENT_HOST in the webutil.
    check the [Forms 10g R2 Demo|http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/demos/Forms_Demos_10gr2.zip] for sample codes of webutil.
    You are using NO_SCREEN in your example, this will hide the window.
