Define the external command in SM49/SM69
Try with SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM or SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE

How to execute a .sql file from a batch file

Hi all
I've to take backup of a database weekly twice on every wednesday & Friday @ 5pm IST. I've written a hot backup script, which works every well.
now i want to automate the script. ie i want this script to run on wednesday & friday @ 5pm without any human interfearance ie with out actually any1 executing this script.
i created a batch file prod.bak with the following lines
@echo off
set oracle_sid=testdb
set oracle_home=d:\oracle\ora92
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba/oracletest@testdb
this batch file when eexecuted connects me to sql prompt.
Now i want to execute my backup script bkp.sql automatically when it is connected to sql prompt.
(i tried with these lines in the above batch file...
call bkp.sql---it just opens the bkp.sql file in notepad & displays the script
start bkp.sql---same as call
connect / as sysdba/pwd@[email protected] --- does not work simply remains a the sql prompt.
At 17:00 /Every:w,f "d:\bkp.sql"---does not work simply remains at the sql promt.)
Can any1 let me know what should i write in the batch file that will execute the bkp.sql file automatically after it gets connected to sql prompt. M using oracle 9i.
I'll manage he time through windows utility of scheduling task.. Let me know how to execute the .sql file from a batch file.
Thanks
Tripti

Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

How to execute SQOOP.cmd file from SSIS execute process task?

How to execute SQOOP.cmd file from SSIS execute process task?
What is argument need to be prefixed in the arguments property
Executable: C:\Hadoop\sqoop-1.4.2\bin\sqoop.cmd
Arguments: /C "sqoop import -connect "jdbc:sqlserver://mysystem:1433;database=test;username=myuser;password=mypwd;" -table emp -target-dir /user/emptable -m 1"
Thanks
Durga

Hi Durga,
SQOOP.cmd must be no different than any other .cmd/.bat I assume, your question is more about setting the parameters up I guessed.
So unless the arguments change dynamically you can call SQOOP.cmd from yet another .cmd that has its parameters passed to it and the former you simply set to run without the arguments in Execute Process Task.
Otherwise, in general to set a bat/cmd file to run in SSIS one needs to do this:
PS: It is a good idea to populate the working directory with the path to the .cmd

Output file from ABAP program

I am using the program Z_SAP_HIERARCHY_DOWNLOAD to output a hierarchy in BW to a specified drive. It works fine when I go to SE38 and run it. However, when I run it from a process chain, it doesn't output the file. How can I generate the output file by running the program from a Process Chain? Thanks.

Hello Uday,
i suppose if you run the program within a process chain it will be started
in a background process. All downloads via the SAPGUI onto your local
PC (or network drive) are not possible in the background because there is no
connection to your PC during the excecution of the report in the background.
Try to save the download on an accessible file system on the application server
and download it from there afterwards.
Which function module is used to download the data (GUI_DOWNLOAD or the older version WS_DOWNLOAD) in your report?
To save data on the application server use the ABAP statements
OPEN DATASET filename FOR OUTPUT    -> for creation of file
TRANSFER record TO filename                  -> for transfer of one record
CLOSE DATASET filename                        -> for closing the file

XML files from ABAP programs

Hi everyone!
Is there a way in ABAP to output XML files? Pls. send code/ function module if any.
From ABAP programs, we are sure that we can output TEXT files, but how about XML files?
The significance of this question is related
Currently we are using XI to interface SAP and AMS, this question for ABAP to produce XML file arose, if for example, the XI server is down and we have to still send data from one system to another. IDocs can also produce XML files, pls confirm. Earlier however, we have preferred XI rather than IDocs to do this. Anyway, any idea regarding this scenario will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless!

Execute a .cmd file from Java program on tomcat which is running as service

I have a .cmd/,.bat file which has to be executed depending on the parameters I pass through JSP page hosted on a tomcat instance.
Tomcat is running as a windows service.
I need my .cmd file to be opened in a cmd or DOS box so that user can interact with the dos window, which is mandatory.
When I run the program from eclipse it works well but on the tomcat , the server side the output of the command is written to my log file and it gives no chance for users to monitor and interact with the command.
Should I do something with log4j settings or is due to tomcat running as service?
Please help.
thanks

thanks for the responses.
But the design is like that.Then it needs to be fixed.
I think this is why there's a shortage of people to write computer applications, they are all wasting their time struggling to implement bad designs.
its a scheduler to be run on tomcat where we interact
with the running batch files and can't be changed.A scheduler in Tomcat? Why run a scheduler in an application server?
any help is appreciated.
I tried to execute the batch file from servlet it
runs , but i see the cmd.exe in windows task manager
and need a dos box open.
Any ideas?If you need a DOS box open then you need a signed-on user. So here's my patch:
1. Write an application that listens for messages from this Tomcat scheduler, and when it receives those messages it does something in a DOS box.
2. Have somebody sign on to the server and run that application.
3. Change the Tomcat scheduler to send messages to that application instead of trying to actually run it.
It's up to you what kind of messages you should send. There are plenty of choices.

How to execute Pro*C file from form

Hi All !
I have one pro*c file(.pc & .exe) . How I can execute this file from form.
Regards,
Neeraj

I think you could use Ora_Ffi package too. Make sure that you use correct version of Pro/C.
I think you should use Pro/C version 8.0.x with Forms 6.0. I don't use Forms 6i, but I think it is the same for it too.

Referring Applications server file in concurrent program

Hi Gurus,
In Oracel Applications, we have a requirement, where we will place a unix script (SFTP Script) in the application server. We need to register this script as concurrent program and run from the DB Server. Can this be possible? If so please suggest.
Awaiting for your valuable replies.
Thanks in Advance,
Chandra Babu Lankipalli

Hi Muthu,
Thanks for your reply.
When we register the shell script as a concurrent program then by default it will search for the .prog file under DB Server Bin directory.
But our requirement is .prog file will be under application server and it should run from application server only though we run the c/p
from DB server.
Thanks,
Chandra Babu Lankipallli

Anyone know how to output an XML file from ABAP to a non sapgui location?

I have a program that creates XML and then outputs a file via CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download. But now I want to execute the program in background mode and therefore I need to be able to output that XML to a NON sapgui file location. Current code creates the XML to an internal table which is binary then the gui_download method converts that to output XML. . Does anyone know how I can change the code to either a) output the XML to an internal table which can be output via, say, a TRANSFER command..or, b) output the created binary table of XML to a NON sapgui file location?
Excerpts from current code are as follows:
first the XML is created (to the binary file)
      Creating a ixml factory
l_ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
      Creating the dom object model
l_document = l_ixml->create_document( ).
      Fill root node with value XML
l_element_xml = l_document->create_simple_element(
              name = 'XML'
              parent = l_document ).
      Create tag 'HEADER' as child of 'XML'
l_element_header = l_document->create_simple_element(
              name = 'HEADER'
              parent = l_element_xml ).
header information about the file and general data about the fleet follows
l_value = c_fleet_import.
l_element_dummy = l_document->create_simple_element(
            name = 'TYPE'
            value = l_value
            parent = l_element_header ).
etc.......
then the xml is connected to the stream factory and rendered
Creating a stream factory
l_streamfactory = l_ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
Connect internal XML table to stream factory
l_ostream = l_streamfactory->create_ostream_itable( table = l_xml_table ).
Rendering the document
l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( ostream = l_ostream
                                        document = l_document ).
l_rc = l_renderer->render( ).
Saving the XML document
l_xml_size = l_ostream->get_num_written_raw( ).
and then output to the file
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
       EXPORTING
         bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = 'g:\sapdms\BSCC-DEV\EFPAC XML Files\ALL.xml'
       filename     = '/TRICK/727/OUT/ZEFP/EFPAC.XML' "doesnt work with sap gui
         filetype     = 'BIN'
       CHANGING
         data_tab     = l_xml_table
       EXCEPTIONS
         OTHERS       = 24.
as implied by the comments the method above will successfully output the XML file to the g:drive but will not output to /TRICK/ location, which is where I need it to go in a background mode run.
This is a problem which has defeated all our local expertise and I would appreciate any help given... Barry Jones

Try this code below:
data l_xml_table2 type table of xml_line with header line.
W_filename - This is a Path.
if w_filename(02) = '
    open dataset w_filename for output in binary mode.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      l_xml_table2[] = l_xml_table[].
      loop at l_xml_table2.
        transfer l_xml_table2 to w_filename.
      endloop.
    endif.
    close dataset w_filename.
else.
    call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
      exporting
        bin_filesize = l_xml_size
        filename     = w_filename
        filetype     = 'BIN'
      changing
        data_tab     = l_xml_table
      exceptions
        others       = 24.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

How to generate a PDF document from ABAP program

Hi experts,
I have arequirement where in i need to create a PDF document using program. I have all the data collected into tables and i have used the calss CL_FP_PDF_OBJECT.

As an alternative I have created a smartform and generated its OTF data in my program and created a PDF. This is working fine.
But as per my requirement, i cannot go for a smart form.

How do I access iPhoto files from other programs (i.e. PhotoShop Elements)

From within many programs, specifically PhotoShop Elements or Adobe Bridge tonight, I navigate to "iPhoto Library" and can not access the files within the library to use in these programs. I can get there from within Finder, just not other programs. This is extremely frustrating...can someone please help?

Of course - it is a database and you must use the correct access methods
and for a photo editor like PSE you also need to explain what you are trying to do
IF -- you want to edit photos within the iPhoto library then simply set PSE as the external editor in the iPhoto preferences - then you edit and save (not save as) and the database is automatically updated -- if you want to choose iPhoto or PSE as the editor then after setting PSE as the external editor set the external editor back to in main window and now normal editing will be in iPhoto but by right clicking on a photo in iPhoto you get a menu allowing you to use PSE for it
IF - you are generally asking and want the general answer - all open (or attach) dialogue windows have the media browser in the lower left - look under media ==>pictures ==> iPhoto but if you use this method you can not just return photos to iPhoto - you must save as and then import into iPhoto
click here for a general discussion on accessing your photos safely and correctly.
