How can I run a continuous interactive update script?

Hi,
I've written an interactive update sql statement that will need to be run several times. Typing @f:\folder\file.sql can get time consuming and boring after a couple of times of inputting the data.
Is there an easy way to write a procedure that will run the script until you tell it to stop?
Thanks
Jen

The script prompts the user to enter an academic year e.g. 01/02, a student reference number e.g. 20000001, a prior attainment figure, a course suitability figure, an 'other' figure and a baseline figure. These values are updated into the relevant fields using an update statement within the script.
Yes I am using sql+ and have tried using the / function but all that happens is the update statement runs again not the actual @f:\folder\filename.sql;
As for knowing when to quit the script, there would have to be some sort of loop.
Example (Pseudo code)
Prompt user to run the script, answer Y or N
Do
run script
while answer to prompt is Y
I have a feeling that the above loop would have to be written in PL/SQL.

How Can I run a .vbs (Visual Basic Script) file on Linux?

Hello, I have a doubt:
How Can I execute on Linux a .vbs file? I can't use wine cause it is not a .exe file.
Is there any way?
Greetings

Google works, yes ... if you know what you are searching for. Try this search: VisualBasic is not VBScript.
Here is what you will need (consult an attorney first):
- Wine
- Windows Scripting Host (WSH) 5.6* (available officially from MS website, but requires validation):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta … laylang=en
* There is an update to 5.7 also available form MS
- You will also need (from your Windows installation):
mfc42.dll
- Once you have the files placed in your Wine '/system32' folder (via installer or extraction), you will need to register dll files. At minimum, I think you can get by with:
wine regsvr32 /path/to/vbscript.dll
wine regsvr32 /path/to/wshext.dll
Others may be required ... if you get more messages alerting you to register files, just repeat for each one necessary. Or register them all and be done with it.
Once you have WSH setup, you can launch the VBScript file by opening 'winefile' and double clicking on the script. From the command line, you will need to launch it with 'wscript':
wine wscript "Z:\\home\\user\\.wine\\dosdevices\\c:\\Program Files\\test.vbs"
If you attempt to launch the VBScript with just:
wine "Z:\\home\\user\\.wine\\dosdevices\\c:\\Program Files\\test.vbs"
you will get a message about 'BAD EXE Format' or similar.

How can I run two DML in one FORALL statement?

How can I run 1) select 2) update in one FORALL for each item as below?

I came through this forum while googling on the issue of 'using two DML's in one FORALL statement.
Thanks for all the useful information guys.
I need to extend this functionality a bit.
My present scenario is as follows:
FOR I in 1..collection1.count Loop
     BEGIN
          insert into tab1(col1)
          values collection1(I) ;
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS THEN
          RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR('ERROR AT'||collection1(I));
     END;
     BEGIN
          UPDATE tab2
          SET col1 = collection1(I);
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS THEN
          RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR('ERROR AT'||collection1(I));
     END;
commit;
END LOOP;
I need to use the FORALL functionality in this scenario, but without using the SAVE EXCEPTIONS clause keeping in mind that I also need to get value in the
collection that led to the error.Also, the each INSERT statement has to be followed by an UPDATE and then the cycle goes on(Hence I cannot use 2 FORALL statements for INSERT and UPDATE coz then all the INSERT will be performed at once and similarly the UPDATEs). So I created something like this:
DECLARE
l_stmt varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
l_stmt := 'BEGIN '||
          'insert into tab1(col1) '||
          'values collection1(I) ; '||
     'EXCEPTION '||
          'WHEN OTHERS THEN '||
          'RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(''ERROR AT''|| :1); '||
     'END; '||
     'BEGIN '||
          'UPDATE tab2 '||
          'SET col1 = :1; '||
     'EXCEPTION '||
          'WHEN OTHERS THEN '||
          'RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(''ERROR AT''|| :1); '||
     'END;'
FORALL I in 1..collection1.count
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_stmt USING Collection1(SQL%BULK_EXCEPTIONS(1).ERROR_INDEX);
END;
Will this approach work? Or is there any better aproach to this? I am trying to avoid the traditional FOR ..LOOP to achieve better performance of query

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

Is there a way in Terminal with sudo su to make it work ?

As of EHP3, you could still install some EHP components. On an ERP 6.00, you could just push SAP_APP to 6.03 and move on. Now if you want another component in your system with an EHP4 version, you can't have some components at EHP3 and some at EHP4. You would install EHP4 for the new component you desire updated and part of the work will be to also update SAP_APP to 6.04.
EHP4 is an UPGRADE process, with shadow instance & all the joy of an upgrade process. You can either run ressource minimized or downtime minimized. In resource minimized, the shadow instance runs on the same server as the main instance. Downtime minimized allow to run the shadow instance on a separate / new server. Anyway you go, you will always have a "Downtime Phase" when you bring back the updated components from the shadow instance toward the real production one.
As with any UPGRADE project, the benefits of installing EHP4 for your business has to weighted against the downtime cost.
Our tests so far on small systems (few data, few users, 120GB database) show ~3 days process from EHP3 to EHP4 (all components) with a downtime phase of about 22 hours using the "resource minimized" path, i.e. shadow & main instance on the same server (4 CPUs, 16GB RAM). Until you give a try at your Sandbox or DEV systems, you won't have realistic figures for your environment.
Good luck!

How can i run VisualScript of one URL against another URL

hi folks,
could anybody tell me how can we run the visual script of one url against another url ?
eg: visual script recorded for http://www.abcd.com/index.html must be run against http://www.abcd.com/index1.html
thanks in advance,
pasumarthi

pasumarthi,
You can right click the address node select properties on page one and change the url there. Since the tool is DOM based all following urls will automatically update when you play the script back. You can also use the script updater utility (in the etest icon group) if you have 8.20.
Hope this helps.

How Can I Run A SQLJ Normal Project In SAP NWDS

How Can I Run A SQLJ Normal Project In SAP NWDS?
PLS Help me and don't let me alone!

Tony,
Why not try to import your SQLJ project in SAP NWDS. Add all the jars mentioned to the project path both for compile time as well as runtime. Now try running he project. Once you are able to bypass java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, you will get other errors related to SQL statements. These Oracle SQL statements needs to be converted to OpenSQL format.
Chill out!!!

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.

How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Hello Arthur,
Thank you for the reply.
You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD , pen and paper and CDs .
Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
Thanks

How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
Thanks in advance.
Kishore.

Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.

You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:
