How to run an VB script from PL/SQL

hi all,
i am new to PL/SQL.
i am writting a procedure in PL/SQL where i want to run a macro in VB script through my code.
how can i do this?
TIA
Abhishek

PL/SQL executes on the server (unless this is a Forms question) and VBScript is normally part of a web application, in which case I don't see this working.

  • How to run unix shell script from java web applet

    hi all
    i have created one java applet. my apache web server is on unix server.
    i have created one shell script in same directory where my .class and .htm files reside...
    how to run this shell script from applet? it should search this .sh file on server and not on the client browser machine...
    thanks in advance

    I suppose you could make the shell script into a CGI, configure the server to execute CGIs, and then make the applet open the URL of that CGI.

  • How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

    Hi,
    can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
    Regards,
    Ak

    One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
    1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
    2)put the mapping
    The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
    The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
    f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
    You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
    CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
    DECLARE
    PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
    And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
    sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
    Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
    To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
    Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
    I hope this helps.

  • How to run the perl script from java ?

    Hi , I need to run the pearl script from the server and to get the result of the script thro' java using SSH
    Is there any 3rd party SSH API in java ?
    Please help me out
    thanks in advance

    This seems like a very strange thing to want to do.
    What is the perl script doing?
    Do other programs (not some shell script) access this server-side perl script from a different machine?
    If so how do they do it?
    What currently triggers the perl script to execute?
    What currently handles the output from the perl script?
    If you can answer these questions (and understand the answers) you should be able to come up with a different approach to this.
    You do not really want to call a remote perl script from a Java program, you want to achieve the effect you think that would have if you could do it.
    So find the answers to the above questions, write them on 3" x 5" cards and lay them out on your desk.
    What flow of control needs to happen? Which piece of code needs to produce or consume which piece of data?
    If that fails, ask you self or who ever is making you do this what are the use-cases?
    If you do not know what use-cases are or do not understand them well enough try reading
    Use Case Modeling (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) by Kurt Bittner and Ian Spence (Paperback - Aug 30, 2002)
    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-7908514-4043267?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=use+cases&x=0&y=0
    It is a short and easy to read book on the subject and also one of the best.
    You MUST understand WHAT you are trying to achieve before you can decide HOW you are going to achieve it.

  • How to run a shell script from the GUI?

    This is probably a dumb question...
    How do I run a shell script from the GUI? I've been told to double click it but when I do, it opens as a text file.

    The behavior you describe is that used by the KDE and GNOME desktops of Linux.
    Under OS X, if you make a script then mark it as executable, double-clicking on it in the Finder will not execute it. Actually, it uses a rather complex algorithm ([summarized here|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html]) to determine what to do with it. This is implemented in Mac OS X' LaunchServices framework (incidentally, the associations are cached in /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple/LaunchServices*.csstore). You can read the details in the developer docs about LaunchServices.
    Anyway, in short, the suffix '.command' is a built-in type in the LaunchServices network that identifies a shell script. If you run
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -dump
    ... it will tell you as much.

  • How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

    Hello Oracle People,
    I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
    Right now it is a simple shell script.
    Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
    I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
    -- cr_job10.sql
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
    job_name => 'my_backup_job',
    job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
    job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
    start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
    repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
    end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
    enabled => TRUE,
    comments => 'My Backup Job');
    END;
    I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
    I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
    The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:
    /h/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump/orcl_j000_22396.trc

    ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 53267

    I googled on this:
    ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
    Google returned only 1 hit.
    There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
    of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
    for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
    Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
    run shell scripts from the scheduler?

    Hello people,
    I should have added this bit of information:
    "The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
    "The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
    I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
    which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
    I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
    Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:
    $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/extJob
    Currently I'm setup like this:

    Jared points out that rman needs access to extproc:

    -rwsr-x--- 1 rman dba 34468 Sep 21 2006 /h/oracle/product/10r2/bin/extproc

    I am focused on this error:
    ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
    And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
    What does 274662 mean?
    If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
    it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
    And of course,
    If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

  • How to run a Unix Script from a specific user

    Hi,
    I want to run a GoldenGate related unix script from a super user. I have created crontab enter from that super user. But its still running from root user. As GGSCI cannot be invoked other than super user, the Script is failing.
    The Script is running fine on command prompt and from "at" batch job command.
    Please give me a way to run the script from a specific user on Cron
    Thanks,
    Saravana

    Hi.
    can you show:
    grep root /etc/passwd
    grep <super user> /etc/passwd (It's not clear for me, what you call super user. For me - root is super user. )
    ls -la /var/spool/cron/crontabs
    Generaly for add cronjobs for any user need:
    crontab -e <username>
    For more information - man crontab
    Reagrds.

  • How to run FNDMLSUB - Multiple languages - from PL/SQL

    Hi,
    i would like to submit a FNDMLSUB program (Multi Language request submission) from PL/SQL (need to print multiple invoice programs at once, there is no MLS support for request sets).
    What's the pl/sql procedure for submission? I can submit it, but i don't know how to link it with actual request (parameters ect).
    l_request_id := fnd_request.submit_request( 'FND', 'FNDMLSUB' , '' , null, FALSE, 20003, 191349, 'Y' );
    Thanks,
    Regards,
    Kris

    Workaround:
    Running requests manualy for every language needed (cursor with MLS function)
    fnd_request.set_options(
    implicit => 'NO',
    protected => 'YES',
    language => 'LANGUAGE',
    territory => 'TERRITORY',
    datagroup => '',
    numeric_characters => ',.');
    fnd_request.submit_request(...)
    But still, if anybody knows how to run FNDMLSUB it would be much appreciated.

  • How to run a large script from sqlcmd and continue despite errors

    I am on SQL Server 2008 R2.
    I have  a large sql file (4 GB size) which has various insert  statements created by genarate script of SQL Server 2008, i.e, generate script facility to create insert satements for data of all the tables in a database.
    Now I am loading this data in another database, so I use a command like:
    sqlcmd -S "10.37.59.6"  -d  JnJ_Version1   -U admin_dtyler10 -P xxxxxxx  -i "D:\stage\JnJ-Version1\Data.sql" -o D:\stage\JnJ-Version1\idatasql.out -V 17
    This command is run from a task scheduler and after 3 hours task comepletes and the
    idatasql.out  contains following error message:
    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Server AMAZONA-658CHN2, Line 42
    Incorrect syntax near ')'.
    Before this message there were lot of success messages such as:
    (1 rows affected)
    Processed 1299500 total records
    (1 rows affected)
    Processed 1299600 total records
    (1 rows affected)
    Processed 1299700 total records
    (1 rows affected)
    Processed 1299800 total records
    1. Now how do I troubleshoot this error message, my file is so big...
    2. Also how sqlcmd handles errors, I know there are many insert satements followed by GO, so
    I aussme if there wer errors that GO transaction will fail, but it will continue with next insert satement after GO ,  is that correct If not, how can I make it contnue despite errors.
    I did not see any option in sqlcmd to do that.
    3. Also what does -V17 in Sqlcmd do. I had copied it from somewhere on internet.

    1. Now how do I troubleshoot this error message, my file is so big...
    Finding the error in a 4GB is certainly a challenge. The easiest is probably to write your own C# program that parses out the batches and submits them - and spews out the bat ones.
    2. Also how sqlcmd handles errors, I know there are many insert satements followed by GO, so
    I aussme if there wer errors that GO transaction will fail, but it will continue with next insert satement after GO ,  is that correct If not, how can I make it contnue despite errors.
    Yes, SQLCMD will continue with the next batch, unless the error was raised with state 127. But see below.
    3. Also what does -V17 in Sqlcmd do. I had copied it from somewhere on internet.
    I did SQLCMD -? and I see that -V is related to severitylevel. It may mean that SQLCMD will exit if the severity level is >= 17. But I would recommend that you look up SQLCMD in Books Online yourself to verify. (Yes, I am too lazy to do it myself this
    time.)

  • Calling Pearl script from PL/SQL

    Anyone know how to call a pearl script from PL/SQL?

    Hi Rick,
    I checked all the forums for external procedures. I don't see any examples posted as you mentioned for calling external procedures. I did look into the documentation and it talks mainly about C and JAVA. And it looked like depending on the language, different things need to be done. I would appreciate if you could be more specific on where I could find examples related to calling PERL scripts.

  • How to run the open script code from eclipse?

    Hi,
    How to run the open script code from eclipse.
    Please let me any soulutions on this.

    Hi Konda
    I am not quite sure you can do that and it would even be not supported... Again, what is the purpose? Why do you want to run your openscript code in Eclipse?
    What is the code you try to run?
    As an example, even if you include al the jar files and so on. don't think the function "Launch Browser" could work because it isn't only java code orjar files.....
    If you give us more background. maybe we can guide you to a better solution...
