paragIf you are in 10g, you can simple call shell script from DBMS_SCHEDULER:
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'TEST_SCRIPT',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => 'PATH_OF_YOUR_SCRIPT',
start_date => SYSDATE,
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=MINUTELY; INTERVAL=1',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Shell script from Oracle'
END;

Executing a shell script from a form (client / server)

From a form in a client server environment, I would like to execute a shell script on the server.
Environment:

I also recompiled the "test.fmb" that came with the 10g Forms and Server on my windows xp machine and when I downloaded it back to the Linux Forms and Server machine, it loss the functionality of the "OK" button which is suppose to perform "exit_form" when pressed.
BTW, I am using 10G developer suite on windows xp.

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

Executing shell script through PL/SQL

Hi,
I need some help regarding execution of shell script through Oracle PL/SQL.
I have a shell script present in /abc/xyz folder with name search.sh , Through a PL/SQL procedure I am creating a file to store the report data.
I want to execute /abc/xyz/search.sh from the PL/SQL procedure to delete all files created before 3 mins .
1.     At first I took Java route and got following permissions granted for RECON user.
GRANT USER SYS java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute ENABLED 351
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission readFileDescriptor * ENABLED 350
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission writeFileDescriptor * ENABLED 349
2.     Then I created a simple java class for execution of OS command as below
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "OSCommand" AS
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
int ext=proc.waitFor();
return ("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
3.     And a wrapper function as below to use this class
create or replace
FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
4.     In my PL/SQL proceedure I am using following code to execute the command
v_Return := OSCommand_Run('/abc/xyz/search.sh');
to execute the shell script.
Proceedure executes without any error and generates a new csv file with report data , however shell script does not get executed and hence all csv files created earlier remain as it is in the folder.
Please help.

What happens if you remove the catch exception block from your java command?
I asume you still might have a permission issue. But it could be hidden from you, because of the exception is catched and printed into nirvana.Executed the wrapper function OSCOMMAND_RUN as below
DECLARE
v_Return VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
v_Return := OSCOMMAND_RUN('/recon/html/invoice/search.sh' );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_Return = ' || v_Return);
END;
And following is the result
v_Return = 0
Process exited.
In case of exception it would had printed the exception.
One more thing I noticed, even though I have taken following permissions
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/*     execute     ENABLED     347
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/xyz/*     execute     ENABLED     351
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     <<ALL FILES>>      execute     ENABLED     352
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     readFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     350
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     writeFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     349
When I create a new search.sh in /abc dir I get following error
v_Return = the Permission (java.io.FilePermission /abc/search.sh execute) has not been granted to RECON. The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'RECON', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '/abc/search.sh', 'execute' )

Running Shell scripts through JAva

Hi,
I tried to execute a Shell script through a Java program.
The code I used is as below:
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
public class sys {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = { "chgpasswd" };
try {
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
child.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exit code is: " + child.exitValue());
catch(IOException e) {
System.err.println( "IOException starting process!");
catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.err.println( "Interrupted waiting for process!");
The "chgpasswd" shell script calls the "passwd" command of Unix.
It threw out an IO exception.
Then I gave the parameter as "./chgpasswd". It now gave an exit value of 255.
The "chgpasswd" script exists in the same directory as the .class file.
I checkd up the exit code reference...it says exit value of 255 could mean as exit code out of range........an exit code > 255....which unfortunately has no documentation, I guess.
Can you help ?

This is on a Unix platform, correct? Assuming so...
If I remember correctly, exit codes can be greater than 255. To get the real exit code equates to something like: exitcode & 512 to obtain the real exit code.
Make sure "chgpasswd" shell script has the execute permissions set. Additionally, make sure that the first line of the script (the magic line) has the appropriate shell/interpreter to execute specified. For example, if "chgpasswd" were a Bourne (sh) script, the first like would be:
#!/bin/shFor perl, it may be something like:
#!/usr/bin/perlIt needs to be the absolute path to the shell/interpreter is the point.

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');

Ree,
1. Find SSH client for windows, then execute SSH with Runtime.exec() on local host with arguments like remote host, auth, command to execute etc.
2. Get SSH client in Java and execute SSH commands on remote host using pure Java API.

How i can call java program in VB2005 ?

Hi members...
Please...please...please...
If any one now how i can call java program in VB.net program and open it ,please i want now the way to do it by details and by examples and step step to do it ,,..
thanks ...

If your server does not return to the command prompt, write a java programm which starts your server and returns to the command prompt.
An example for an application like this:
import java.io.IOException;
public class StartApp
public static void main(String[] args)
if (args.length > 0)
StringBuffer cmd = new StringBuffer();
for (int index = 0; index < args.length; index++)
cmd.append(args[index] + " ");
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd.toString());
catch (IOException ioe)
System.out.println("Error: command not found: " + cmd.toString());
else
System.out.println("Error: missing arguments");
An example for starting your server with that programm:
/usr/bin/java -jar ./StartApp.jar /usr/bin/java -jar ./myServer.jar
It works. Have fun.

HELP!!! How I can call to EJB from another EJB??

I have two EJBs, for each EJB I have a jar, how I can call to EJB jar to another???
I have tried the following, in the first EJB I have import the second EJB jar and call it with context, lookup, PortableRemoteObject etc.. but the instruction lookup not find the second EJB reference.
The name in the lookup instruction is the JNDI name of the second EJB but not find a reference to it.
Please help me!!! Thanks!!

ok.. Here it goes.. I am writing a sample code..
public class EJB1LogBean implements SessionBean {
// test is a method of stateless session beam
public void test ( TestVal val )
throws RemoteException{
try {
EJB2LogHome ejb2Home= (EJB2LogHome)getHome("java:comp/env/ejb/EJB2LogHome",1);
EJB2Log ejb2Log = ejb2LogHome.create ( val );
} catch ( CreateException e ) {
     System.out.println("Create Exception occurred ");
     e.printStackTrace();
     } catch ( RemoteException e ) {
     System.out.println( "RemoteException Occured");
e.printStackTrace();
     throw new RemoteException () ;
     } catch(Exception ee) {
ee.printStackTrace();
private EJBHome getHome(String jndiName,int type) {
try {
Context context = new InitialContext();
Object ref = context.lookup( jndiName );
switch(type)
case 1:
EJB2LogHome ejb2LogHome = ( EJB2LogHome )
PortableRemoteObject.narrow( ref, EJB2LogHome.class );
return ejb2LogHome;
} catch ( Exception e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}//EJB1LogBean ends
Here as you can see, EJB1LogBean(session bean) is calling a second EJB, EJB2LogBean (entity bean). TestVal is a sample value object passed. It is plain java class and can vary from app to app and it has got nothing to do with ejbs.
"java:comp/env/ejb" is a J2EE standard and while getting a home interface, you have to append the home interface class name to "java:comp/env/ejb". Here I am passing "java:comp/env/ejb/EJB2LogHome" and "1" to getHome method, whose job is to get a reference to a home interface. getHome method is a local method. "1" is passed just to give a flexibility to getHome method as you can have more ejbs to invoked. In that case, you can go on adding different case statements for 2, 3 etc.
The only thing you have to keep in mind is that your deployment descriptor for EJB1LogBean will contain the entires for both the beans i.e. for EJB1LogBean and EJB2LogBean. This is because EJB2LogBean is wrapped by EJB1LogBean.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know if you need anything more.

Looks like your talking 'bout Forms, don't you?
What you're looking for is the copy built-in, syntax is e.g.
