Host command not executing Excel File

Hi,
I am trying to open a Excel file through a bat file.
And calling this bat file from Oracle Forms 10g - Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.0.19 (Production).
But some how nothing is happening.
But if I issue - host("echo hello > c:\hello.txt"); --> this works fine.
Host command is as - host('cmd.exe /c c:\temp_dir\File_test.bat');
and the bat file contains following lines -
File_test.bat
cd c:\temp_dir
PATH c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\
EXCEL Book2.xls
Can anyone please provide some guidance in this regard?
Thanks in advance!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your replies,
But it seems I couldn't communicate my point to you.
I want to execute the command on application server and not on client machine.
I guess by using WEBUTIL_HOST it will execute the the command on client side and not on application server.
I hope i made my point clear.
Thanks for your help, looking forward to get more help!
Thanks again!

HOST command not working

Oracle AS Version 10.1.2.0.2, Oracle Forms Version 10.1.2.0.2, Windows XP.
I am using HOST command to read a files from the directory (on the server). But HOST does not working. When i click the button to read the file, it just hangs on and no error on the console.
Does host work on forms 10g?
actually i was using client_host of webutil and its working fine. But it pick the directory from the client. Whereas i need to pick it from the server where AS is. That why i went for HOST command.
Any suggestion.

Hi,
Try this.
1. Create a batch file (which would first set the required variables as when you do the "set".)
2. Add the following to the batch file.
C:\javasoft10g\jre\bin\javaw -classpath C:\javasoft10g\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\javasoft10g\paths;;C:\javasoft10g\paths\dusjava.jar; %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7Save the batch file in some location (say c:\mybatchscript.bat).
From forms, call it like
host('cmd /c c:\mybatchscript.bat > c:\temp\testlog.log' );Now, does it work?
-Arun
P.S : Looks to me like, you are setting some variables (or calling another batch file - set , which sets up the variables). So, make sure you set all the required variables in the batch script itself.

SQLPLUS HOST Command Not Supported

Hi,
I am facing strange problem. I have lots of scripts where I have used the HOST command from within SQLPLUS.
Now, on Windows Server 3000 Standard Edition, Version 5.2, I find that both HOST and its equivalent $, both are not supported when used with SQLPLUS on Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition.
Please HELP, and suggest some alternative.
Prashant

There is no such thing as Windows Server 3000. The latest product appears to be Windows Server 2008.
I'm not sure what the version of the Oracle database has to do with it. This is about SQL*Plus and you still haven't told us what version of that you are using. For example:
SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Sat Dec 6 15:56:12 2008
Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production

SQL> host cd
y:\sql
SQL>This is sqlplus.exe (never sqlplusw.exe) version 11.1.0.6.0 on Windows XP Pro 2002 SP3. It's not the best example because SQL*Plus and the database are at the same version - they are often different. For example:
/Users/williamr: sqlplus william/x@//vm.starbase.local:1521/eleven
SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.3.0 - Production on Sat Dec 6 16:01:21 2008

SQL> I've never known the host command not work, but perhaps someone with the same setup as you can confirm they don't have the same problem. I'm also a bit puzzled by the error message "Command not success." That doesn't sound like an Oracle command - apart from being vague and ungrammatical it doesn't start with the standard "SP2-nnnn" prefix, for example:

Host command not working properly

Hi,
I am using oracle forms 10.1.2.0.2.
In my form, I need to call a unix shell script.
{ Oracle forms will run on application server.
Unix will run in a development server.
(Both the servers are different)
From forms, if I click a button, it should call the unix shell script in a specified path.
Internally, the unix script will call oracle to generate a file.
In the file, some manipulations are done using unix.
After doing some manipulations, the file is stored in a specified path in the unix box. }
To achieve the above, I did the below things.
To execute a unix shell script from my oracle forms (10g),
1) the below configuration i added in the webutil.cfg file
install.syslib.0.user.1=ffisamp.dll|40960|1.0|true
transfer.database.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.enabled=TRUE
transfer.appsrv.workAreaRoot=c:\temp
transfer.appsrv.accessControl=TRUE
#List transfer.appsrv.read.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.read.1=c:\temp
#List transfer.appsrv.write.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.write.1=c:\temp
2) I have attached webutil.pll library to my form
3) I have subclassed object group from webutil.olb to my form.
4) The host command i used is (these code are present in when-button-pressed trigger of a button)
host('rsh selvas -l administrator sh <foldername>/if_csv.ksh',NO_SCREEN);
if form_failure then
     emessage('hi selva');
emessage(SQLERRM);
else
     emessage('failure selva');
end if;
when I click the button, I am getting the below messages,
hi selva
normal, successful completion
Also, the script is not executing and it is not giving me the desired result.
Can any one help me, where I am missing.
Thanks,
Selvaraj

hi steve,
Thanks for your response
after the host command i added like this
host.....;
pause;
if form_failure then
     emessage('hi selva');
else
     emessage('failure selva');
end if;
when I executed,
I got the below messages
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE
-- when i clicked ok,
it showed me failure selva
but still the shell script has not executed.
Note:
In /tmp directory, no log files are available.
Can you plz help
thanks,

Hello Yong,
Thanks for posting in our forum. Seems you've already tried lots of things, and I can see that those are all steps that reportedly have worked for others.
Here is one more thing that you might want to have a try:
Open Registry Editor
Go to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\shell\Open\command
Highlight the key, select the (Default), select "Modify..."
from the pull-down menu and then enter the value below: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\EXCEL.EXE"
"%1" (include the quote marks)
Then OK your way out
Please have a try and feel free to post back.

And keep in mind, SQL*Plus command host will open a command window, execute command and will close command window To avoid this you can use:
host cmd /k echo %USERNAME%or
host cmd /k echo %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%Then SQL*Plus will open command window, execute echo command and will not close command windows (since /k was used). You will have to manually issue exit command in command window to close it.

mput command worked perfectly. As there was no indication of file uploading progress in %, I assumed script stucked in mid.
Apart from question I asked I have few queries:
1. As my log states above "Server version: SSH-2.0-Internet Server SSHD". I'm in need of codes list returned by
server.
2. Can it be possible to get file transfer rate means progress in %?
3. Currently Which file is in use (means uploading). How can it be tracked?

-bash: sqlplus: command not found / Oracle file permissons

Hi,
I am running Oracle EE 10.2.0.1.0, on a RHEL 4-U2 server.
When I try to use sqlplus from a non dba account I get the following error:
[pemarten@orclserv ~]$ sqlplus pemarten/mypassword
-bash: sqlplus: command not foundAll my environment variables are set and $ORACLE_HOME/bin has been added to the PATH.
The problem seems to be that the file permissions of the oracle flexible architecture are wrong:
[oracle@orclserv 10.2.0]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
[oracle@orclserv 10.2.0]$ ls -l
totaal 8
drwx--x--- 56 oracle oinstall 4096 dec 12 14:15 db_1
drwxr-x--- 46 oracle oinstall 4096 dec 12 14:14 htmldbThe permission of the db_1 directory is to strict (should be at least chmod 711 I think)
On my other test server (DB version 10.1) the permissions are:
[oracle@locserv 10.1.0]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0
[oracle@locserv 10.1.0]$ ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 53 oracle oinstall 4096 Oct 12 02:54 db1So I have tried to chmod the directories to at least 711 up to the sqlplus binary, but when I try to execute sqlplus after that I get the following error:
[pemarten@orclserv ~]$ sqlplus pemarten/mypassword
sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorySo this doesn't seem to be an option. My biggest concern is why are the file permissons wrong after installation?
Before installing the oracle software umask 022 was added to the .bash_profile of the oracle user (used to install the software)
Has anyone experienced similar problems?
Does anyone knows how to solve this?
Thank You.
Pieter

Ivan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have changed the file permissions of +- 5 files in the lib directory, every time that I changed the permission of 1 file, I got an error for another one.
Now I am getting the following error
[pemarten@orclserv ~]$ sqlplus pemarten/mypassword
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properlyAccording to oerr there are still lib files with wrong permissions...
What I would like to know is :
1) Are the file permissions changed in 10.2 (only DBA's can use sqlplus on the database server) ? If not I probably did something wrong and I will do a reinstall
2) Can anyone who has version 10.2 installed post an ls -l of his $ORACLE_HOME directory please, so I can compare the file permissions ?
Thank You,
Pieter

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.

Itunes & numbers will not import excel files

I have tried with several different files and with different types. But numbers will not import any excel files to my ipad. Is there something i am missing?

Have you copied the files from iTunes to the Numbers program? Go to the My Spreadsheets page in Numbers and tap the in box (Open box with in arrow). You will see a couple of option with one of those being "Copy from iTunes". Try that and the file should appear in My Spreadsheets.

TREX not indexing Excel files

Hi all,
We are getting the following error when trying to index some MS Excel files:
14011 - Filter: The file is password protected or encrypted
We are using TREX 7.10 rev 34.
We have found that the cause of this is when the Excel file has been set to protect the worksheet with a password (in Excel, go to Tools -> Protection -> Protect Workbook -> set password). It seems odd to me that TREX cannot index a file like this because it should be able to open it. I would think that it only would have problems if it were trying to write to the file (which it is not trying to do).
Does anyone have any ideas as to why it's like this or what can we do about this other than remove the workbook password? We have dozens of files like this, and I need to find a solution other than removing the password.
Thanks!
-StephenS

Hi Stephen,
I couldn't find any release note specific to this issue however I do know that there are newer filter versions available in the most recent TREX revisions so the upgrade is usually a good option to resolve such issues. Of course I cannot say for certain if Revision 39 will resolve it without trying to index your specific document on that version myself.
Anyway I know there are some Oracle filter issues ongoing with TREX 7.1 so I think an upgrade to a newer revision may be inevitable at some stage, but perhaps in this scenario it would be best to wait for confirmation of the exact revision that contains the fix from the TREX experts in your message.
Kind regards,
Lorcan.

Hi,
I have had issues with sporadic document upload problems. There are several SAP notes. Primarily there is an issue with Internet Explorer and keepalive timouts. Try each/all of these three options.
1) Examine the keepalivetimeout settings (see SAP note 900804)
2) Examine MaxRequestContentLenght setting (see SAP note 898637)
3) Ensure that your Temporary directories for the J2EE server are set correctly use the Config Tool to add new parameters
-Djava.io.tmpdir=[a suitable temp directory ([SID]ADM user needs read write acces)]
-Dcm.tmpdir=e:\EP_TEMP (example) (see SAP Note 898637)
Hope this helps
