How to run a batch file from within an Oracle 9i Form?

Hi, I would like to execute a batch file from within an oracle form - I'm assuming there's some PLSQL command I can use? I am not allowed to use any third party libraries, and I'm hoping I can get away without having to progam any C or Java to do it. I don't want to run my java program from my form, but my lecturer is insisting on it.
Can anyone help?
Thanx
Adam

Can u give me an example
I need to run a batch files that does a series of step doing dir ( in 3 different folders)
after each one it shows on screen with a pause & user press enter
can this work out ?

    Hi,
    My aim is to run a MS-DOS Batch file, that I created to run a Java Prgram.
    I need to call the Batch File from the Oracle Procedure, Also I may need to change the content of the Batch File (Argument to the Java JAR File ).
    I can keep the JAR FIle either in the Oracle Server or in the Application Server.

  • Run a batch file from demantra workflow

    I am trying to run a batch file from demantra's workflow by creating an executable step.
    I am getting the following error.
    Error description ’’Invalid command line:’’"D:\Oracle Demantra Spectrum\Collaborator\demantra\sop\populate_staging.bat"
    I am giving the following value in command line of executable step.
    "#application_root#\sop\populate_staging.bat"
    The batch file exists in the appropriate folder.
    Following code is in the batch file.
    sqlldr userid=msdem/msdem@demsbx control=load_item_hier.ctl
    Please help me.
    Thanks

    This should work for you-
    Create a batch file on your current server (ODI) and write in the path to the other batch file on the other server.
    //Server2completename/D$/Path/yourbatchfile.bat
    From ODI call your batch file that you created on the same machine.. which will inturn call the other batch file on a different machine to execute batch client.
    Also can you paste the errors that you may be getting.. need to check if you are getting any specific issue related to this.
    Thanks

  • How to run a batch file clicking a button?

    Hi All,
    Can you tell me anyone how to run a batch file clicking a button? And also the progress bar showing the progress.
    Arif

    As said: write the insert statement like above (of course replace the databaselink, column and table names with your own) in a stored procedure and call this procedure in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger.
    As for the progress bar: how many records are you processing and how is the network connection between your database server? As above method is rather fast it might take just a few seconds and you could spare you the progress bar (this might be a little tricky to implement).
    cheers

  • Run remote batch file from Web Application Server

    Hello,
    I've developyed a Java program and deployed it on WAS v7.1.
    My java program tries to run a remote batch file which is located on remote Windows file system (and not on the WAS file system itself).
    The batch file was launched on the remote server (I saw it on the Task Manager of the remote server), but the remote batch file actually wasn't run (it was stuck).
    In order to run the remote batch file from my java program that is deployed on the WAS I've created a batch file on the WAS file system which its contnet is:
    cd c:\jobs
    psexec.exe 
    iltlvt40 -u SAPServiceCE1 -p a2i2000! c:\automation\DiskSpace\runDiskSpace.bat
    The jobs folder contains the psexec.exe file (you can find more details about the psexec on this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx).
    iltlvt40 is the remote server.
    SAPServiceCE1/a2i2000! is a user/password on the remote server which has a full permissions.
    My java program calls this batch file using the Runtime.exec() java method in order to run the remote batch file.
    Please guide me how to solve this problem?
    Best regards,
    Ahmad

    Hi,
    To which batch file you have meant to add some commands: for the local one or remote?
    I've added to the local one some different commands and it's works.
    I think there is a permission problem when we are trying to go out of the WAS file system.
    Best regards,
    Ahmad

  • How to run standalone java file from weblogic server on Solaris

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to run a java file at a scheduled time in a day using cron scheduler on our linux server.
    We need to fetch data from the database & perform some business logic in this standalone JAVA file.
    Our application has an EAR which is deployed on Weblogic 10.3 server & in our application, we are utilizing the datasource created in that domain.
    Now, we have created a standealone Java file & used exisitng datasource (without Hibernate) of the domain with the help of below forums,
    Use DataSource of weblogic in a standalone Java file
    able to achieve the same.
    I've bundled this JAVA in application WAR & depoyed on the same domain where datasource is created.
    Now, how can I execute this file from anywhere on the server using weblogic classpath.
    Please help on the same in implementation.
    Thanks,
    Uttam

    If the Java application must be stand-alone you must not deploy it on WebLogic, then WebLogic will manage its lifecycle.
    In this case you can use the CommonJ API and use the timermanager if it must run on a certain time. More information
    of how to do this can be found here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=5569
    If you keep the Java application stand-only and want to use a cron job you can follow the example presented here: http://middlewaremagic.com/weblogic/?p=7065
    Note that the example runs a WLST script, but you can follow the same steps to run your Java application.

  • URGENT:- Running a batch file from java program

    Author: pkanury
    I am trying to execute a batch file from my java program using RunTime and Process . It can execute any dos command except for a batch file. Can anyone throw
    some light ?? My code looks like this .....
    cmd = "command.com /c X:\\grits\\scripts\\test.bat"; Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
    The weird part is that p.waitFor() returns a status of 0 implying that the cmd has been executed successfully. But that is not the case. And my batch file is as simple as - type "ADADA" > junk.txt
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I think it should work when you use a String[] array
    instead of a single String:
    String[] cmd = { "command.com", "/C", "D:\\batch\\do.bat" };
    Note: If the batchfile creates any output (i.e. files),
    they will be stored in the directory of the application
    which calls the batch file, not in d:\batch\...

  • How to run a batch file in a continous loop

    Hi.  PS noob.  I need to run a batch file frequently -- possibly every one minute.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but Task Scheduler can only schedule a task to run as frequently as every 5 minutes.  What would a PS script look like that would
    run a batch file, sleep for a minute or two, then loop?  Thanks.

  • Iam not able to run a simple batch file from within java

    This is how my code looks like.
    It does'nt give me any error but I dont see the output from batch file which is suposed to be a simple redirection of dir command...
    package mypackage1;
    import java.io.File;
    public class RunBatch
    public RunBatch()
    try{
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    String cmd = "generate_invoice";
    String path = "C:\\application\\Maps\\Reports";
    File file = new File(path);
    String[] envp = {""};
    String[] args = {"C:\\application\\Maps\\Reports\\generate_invoice.bat"};
    System.out.println("************ executing batch ");
    Process proc = rt.exec(args);
    System.out.println("************ batch executed ");
    }catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    * @param args
    public static void main(String[] args)
    RunBatch runBatch = new RunBatch();
    }

    Runtime.exec() only can run executable files. Batch file is not an executable - it is a script executed by command interpreter (cmd.exe). So, you should execute "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\application\Maps\Reports\generate_invoice.bat".

  • How run a batch file from VBS script?

    I have written a script in which I create a batch file that I want to run. Running it from the Start menu with "Run..." works fine but I would like to do it automatically from the script. I can't find a command that works but I am a beginner, so I'm hoping someone's got a solution?!

    Hi again!
    Thank you for your help but I've just discovered that my problem probably doesn't have to do with the way that I call for the batch file. It's more like this:
    The batch file is run but it only does its job some of the times... The batch contains one name of a converter application (Convert.exe) and the names of some databases and files. I've been told that the conversion should work if Convert.exe is located in the same folder as the files. Which it also does, if I run the batch from "Run..." but not from my code.
    I had it working for a while when I had fiddled (as I said, I'm a beginner at this) with setting some drives, such as userDrv and changing some paths in the script settings. Since I didn't really know what I was doing though, I didn't save these settings when closing down DIAdem and now it's not working again. When it worked, it only worked for the file where my .VBS was saved. The point of the program is to convert files in different folders so that wasn't enough.
    Just for clearity: I can't write the name as "C:\My Folder..." because the batch file name and the folder it is situated in is different each time so I have variables for the path and the batch, but that part seems to work. (Call ExtProgram(batFilename_) where batFilename_ includes the path).  
    So I guess what I need to understand is how the different drives work or maybe I need to somehow change my path settings?
