How to call shell scripts

Hi,
Please let me know how to call shell scripts from WDA
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Hi Bala
You can not call any client side funcitons using Web Dynpro ABAP, it is possible in BSP using JavaScript.
You can use Suspend and Resume Plugs to navigate to a BSP page and perform the shell script and return to WDA using Resume Plug.

Now, you can use JavaScript to execute shell script:

Need to call Shell script that uses SQL loader in APex4.1/11g

Hi there!
I have a requirement, wherein I have to call a shell script that connects to an external server, ftp's a file in and then uses sqlloader to load data into our table. Now we have the ftp script that does this for another program, but is a scheduled job. I wanted to call the ftp shell script from within APEX. Any suggestions on how this can be done, what PL/SQL logic can we use? I see online some people using dbms scheduler for this?
Thank you
Sun

Hi,
Create some sh script on your oracle host machine where you can join into external server and run the process.
something like:
run_external_sh.sh
#!/bin/sh
ssh ext_user@ext_host ./sqlloader/import/import.shThen create a external JOB to call it via ORACLE(PL/SQL)
-- Call Shell Script.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program (
    program_name        => 'external_call_sh',
    program_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
    program_action      => '/local_host/call_external/sh/run_external_sh.sh',
    number_of_arguments => 0,
    enabled             => TRUE,
    comments            => 'Call external SH script');
END;
/Now you can create a scheduled/or not scheduled JOB
-- Job defined by an existing program and schedule.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
    job_name      => 'jb_external_call_sh',
    program_name => 'external_call_sh',
    schedule_name => 'external_call_scheduler', -- created scheduler
    enabled       => TRUE,
    comments      => 'Job defined by an existing external_call_sh program and schedule.');
END;
/Now you can call the JOB in APEX in PL/SQL process.
BEGIN
-- Run job synchronously.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (job_name            => 'jb_external_call_sh');
END;Regards

How to call unix script/command in ODI

Hello Gurus,
Please let me know how to call unix script/command in ODI?
Thanks
Shridhar

you can call shell script using the OS command found in Package.
Step 1. Drag the OS Command in the Packgae
Step 2. In the Text mentiond call the script say for ex sh /opt/path/script.sh
Step 3. Execute.
Note : Make sure the User through which ODI is triggering does have the required permission to execute shellscript , also always provide the full path , since scripts are execute from the oracldi/bin folder so its necessary to provide the complete path of the script location.
Hope this helps.

Calling Shell script activity in Oracle Workflow.?

Hi,
I am using Oracle Workflow for executing OWB Mappings.
I also defined user defined activities to call shell scripts. It is working fine
But whenver the shell script executes for more than one day, work flow is not proceeding further even though, the shell script execution completed.
I have to manually skip that activity as success.
Did anyone face this type of problem?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

Hi Matt,
I have seen your previous replies to the posts.
I think, the problem which I am getting is may be with TIMEOUT. Once the day crosses, the even the shell activity is completed, the workflow is not recognizing its completion.
I am using Oracle Warehouse builder. In I am using process flow editor to create workflows.
I verified for the options of changing timeouts. I couldnot able to get any.
Could you please help me, How I could set those values in backend.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

Calling shell script from apex application

Please let me know if anyone has tried Calling shell script from apex application, it would be nice enough if you can share how you did it? Thanks

Hi,
Requirements
* CREATE JOB (10g Rel.1)
* CREATE EXTERNAL JOB (10g Rel.2 / 11g)
* EXECUTE on dbms_scheduler (granted to public by default)
Since Oracle 10.2.0.2 the commands are executed as user nobody.
Code:
--Create a Program for dbms_scheduler
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program('RDS2008','EXECUTABLE','c:\ WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c echo 0wned >> c:\rds3.txt',0,TRUE);
--Create, execute and delete a Job for dbms_scheduler
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(job_name => 'RDS2008JOB',program_name => 'RDS2008',start_date => NULL,repeat_interval => NULL,end_date => NULL,enabled => TRUE,auto_drop => TRUE);
--delete the program
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.drop_program(PROGRAM_NAME => 'RDS2008');
--Purge the logfile for dbms_scheduler
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.PURGE_LOG;
This is one way as suggested by Trent.
We can also achieve as follows.

Calling Shell Scripts in Business Workflow and Guided Procedures

Hi *,
is it possible to call shell scripts in business workflow and guided procedures? would need further documentation (how to, blog,...) about this issue.
Thx in advance,
Rene.

Hello,
Workflows consist of tasks.
A task executed an object's method.
Methods are written in ABAP.
In the method you can code whatever you like, including code to execute shellscripts.
How to do this is not really a workflow question, I would suggest asking in an ABAP forum on how to write a function module to do this in a pure ABAP context. Then it's just a matter of inserting it into a method for use in your WF.
Cheers,
Mike

Can we call shell script from oracle 9i?

Hi experts,
I wanted to know can we call shell script from oracle 9i procedures? If yes,how
Thanks
Shaan

No. I can't think of a way to do this...
If you want you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER to call OS SHELL scripts within.
For e.g.
CREATE PROGRAM
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_program
program_name => 'CHECK_TIME',
program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
program_action => '/opt/oracle/chk_date.sh',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Check the Time'
end;
CREATE A SHELL SCRIPT
opt/oracle> cat chk_date.sh
#!/usr/bin/ksh
echo "The date is :`date`"
CREATE SCHEDULE
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_schedule
schedule_name => 'EVERY_30_MINS',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=30',
comments => 'Every 30-mins'
end;
CREATE JOB
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job
job_name => 'RUN_CHECK_TIME',
program_name => 'CHECK_TIME',
schedule_name => 'EVERY_30_MINS',
comments => 'Run the program CHECK_TIME every 30 minutes',
enabled => TRUE
end;
MANUALLY RUN A JOB
exec dbms_scheduler.run_job('RUN_CHECK_TIME');

Calling shell script from sql procedure

Hi gurus
Is it possible
1)to call a shell script from sql procedure
2)that shell script has to return one value
3)and again sql procedure(calling shell script) has to capture the return value.
please help me to write this script

You may NOT have EXECUTE privilege/ permissions on the DBMS_PIPE package. Check with your DBA.
Using DBMS_PIPE may not be that simple to implement. Just making a call to DBMS_PIPE procedure will not do anything. It will NOT trigger anything on the UNIX side.
. You will also need to :
1. Write a job (ie CRON) at UNIX side which will keep read the incoming pipe for new messages, Unpack the message and get the command to be executed at the UNIX side -- There will be a lot of work involved here + DBA presence/activity is also required.
As Justin has pointed out, try and use HOST command which is very simple or try and use Java.

How to call SQL Script in DBMS_SCHEDULER

How to call SQL Scripts in DBMS_SCHEDULER?
Things I got working
1) Successfully created and tested a PL/SQL that was created under SQL Workshop->SQL Scripts (I named it 'TEST'). I was able to run this no problem.
2) Successfully created a DBMS_SCHEDULER that runs every minutes. (See below)
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
    job_name => 'myjob',
    job_type => 'plsql_block',
    job_action => 'null;',
    start_date => '19-JUL-11 03.10.00 PM', /* Remember to use the DB time, not your local time if not specifying a timezone */
    repeat_interval => 'freq=minutely',
    enabled => true);
end;The problem i am having is to make the PL/SQL script (named 'TEST') runs every minute. Its probably very easy to do that but i dont seems like finding any examples online.
I tried replacing the job_action attribute to " job_action => 'begin TEST; END;', " However, that did not work.
I am stuck here for couple hours already, any clues would be great :)
Thanks in advance

Edited by: John Lau on Aug 14, 2012 12:48 PM

The PL/SQL is pretty long, I would like to call it from a different location rather then putting the whole coding as part of the argument. Sounds like I should be looking into procedure package in database?
I will do some more research on procedure package, how to create one and how to call from it.
Thanks

Calling shell scripts from within Oracle PL/SQL codes

Hello,
We are migrating from informix to Oracle. In our Informix Stored Procedure we
were able to call Unix Shell Script by executing a 'SYSTEM' command, such as:
CREATE PROCEDURE magazine(flag1, flag2)
SYSTEM '/pics2/informix/mag.sh' || flag1 || flag2;
END PROCEDURE;
How can I write this in PL/SQL? Is there a simillar command for 'SYSTEM' in PL/SQL?
Thanks

Mike,
Wrong forum, for this question, suggest you ask it in the PL/SQL forum.
