How can I call unix shell script from database using triggers

Hi everyone,
can anybody help me to solve my problem.
we have one table and records are getting inserted into table.
when the record is inserted with 'C',I need to fetch that record-id which is primary key and then by passing that id as an argument I need to execute a shell script which is there in Unix using triggers.
please note DB and Scripts are in different servers.

PL/SQL can only interact with objects on the local DB Server.
PL/SQL can initiate OS local script via any of the following mechanisms: EXTERNAL PROCEDURE, JAVA, DBMS_SCHEDULER
The local script then will need to launch the remote script.

Can i call unix shell script from B2B callout.

Hi,
We had a requirement to invoke a unix shell script from B2B callout implemented class. Here is the code in implementation class:
public void execute(CalloutContext context,List input,List output)
throws CalloutDomainException, CalloutSystemException {
try {
CalloutMessage cmIn = (CalloutMessage)input.get(0);
FileOutputStream fos = null;
String inputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/input/test.txt";
String outputFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/output/test.txt.gpg";
File outFile = new File(inputFile);
String str =cmIn.getBodyAsString();
fos = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter(fos);
out.write(str);
out.close();
String shellFile = "/home/orasoad/digitalsign/dg.sh";
String cmd[] = new String[] { shellFile, inputFile, outputFile };
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(cmd);
int i = pr.waitFor();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line);
CalloutMessage cmOut = new CalloutMessage(sb.toString());
output.add(cmOut);
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new CalloutDomainException(e);
We were able to execute the unix shell script from standalone java class with same code. But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.
Is it possible to invoke unix shell script from B2B callout?
Please give inputs.
Regards,

Though it's not a good idea to invoke shell scripts from java callout but technically it will work.
But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.What is not working as expected? Any error in the log (server-diagnostic.log or server.out)?

Call Unix Shell Script From OBIEE

Hi All,
Is it possible to do a call to a Unix Shell Script with the Action Framework from OBIEE.
Thanks in Advance

I dont think so but we can go for it instead of BI side. Try to port the same functionality on shell script side, so that the script can identify your report using tail of nqquery log and execute the rest of your lines in shell script.
This can doable and works as expected. If at all you are going with my suggestion you can go for a small key word to identify your report instead of that lengthy logical query.
Pls mark if helps

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

Drive letters are user specific. When you run jboss it runs as you, with your shared drives. When you run it as a service, it runs as guest or another user so your drive letters are meaningless.
Either setup the user or use UNC

How can i call a CGI script from java?

The subject pretty much says it all. I want to call a perl cgi script so i can read from/write to files on a server. I don't know how to sign applets and this would be the easiest way for me, if someone could please tell me.

Let me get this clear. Basically what u want to do is to just call a URL, right?
U can do it by using the following code:
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class testhttp
public static void main(String[] args)
try
URL url = new URL ("http://../testcgi.cfm");
HttpURLConnection cxn =
(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
cxn.setRequestMethod("POST");
cxn.setUseCaches(false);
cxn.setDoOutput(true);
cxn.setDoInput(true);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new
ByteArrayOutputStream(400);
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter (bytes,true);
writer.print("application=map&release=1&items=prog1");
writer.flush();
cxn.setRequestProperty("Content-
Length",String.valueOf(bytes.size()));
cxn.setRequestProperty("Content-
Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
bytes.writeTo(cxn.getOutputStream());
System.out.println(bytes);
String currentLine;
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new
InputStreamReader(cxn.getInputStream(),"8859_1"));
while((currentLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(currentLine); }
catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
There is also a library called HTTP client which can be found at:
http://www.innovation.ch/java/HTTPClient/index.html
It's very simple to use and the documentation is all there, but their web server seems to be down right now.
Anyway, hope my post helps.

paragIf you are in 10g, you can simple call shell script from DBMS_SCHEDULER:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'TEST_SCRIPT',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => 'PATH_OF_YOUR_SCRIPT',
start_date => SYSDATE,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=1',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Shell script from Oracle'
END;

Call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure

We need to call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure
i.e. the control should come back to the procedure once the script completes. Can any body help to achieve this ?

There are various ways in achieving this.
For Example, you can call a PRO*C-Library residing on the database server.
This requires a PL/SQL library to be generated and some changes to the Listener configuration.
It is also possible to implement a java procedure on the database being invoked by a PL/SQL wrapper class.
In this way (and if used right) there is also granularity regarding the filestructure permissions given and it may be called during a Forms or other PL/SQL session.
The article below explains a more generic approach how to invoke shell commands from within an Oracle Instance.
Be careful with this, because it really works ;)
