I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file

Hi,
I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file.
For example say: The batch file(test.bat) contains this command: mkdir
I need to pass the name of the directory to the batch file as an argument from My Java program.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat");
How to pass argument to the .bat file from Java now ?
regards,
Krish
Edited by: Krish4Java on Oct 17, 2007 2:47 PM

Hi Turing,
I am able to pass the argument directly but unable to pass as a String.
For example:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat sample ");
When I pass it as a value sample, I am able to receive this value sample in the batch file. Do you know how to pass a String ?
String s1="sample";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat s1 ");
s1 gets passed here instead of value sample to the batch file.
Pls let me know if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Krish

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Need to call a recursive SP from Java code

I have a table with parent child relationships as:
CREATE TABLE parent_child
parentid NUMBER,
childid NUMBER
Each child can have more than one parents. Now for a given child i need to find all the parents. My solution is a stored procedure as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Sp_Getparents(child_id IN NUMBER)
IS
     CURSOR parents IS
SELECT parentid FROM PARENT_CHILD WHERE PARENT_CHILD.childid = child_id;
BEGIN
FOR parents_cur IN parents LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(parents_cur.parentid);
     Sp_Getparents(parents_cur.parentid);
END LOOP;
END Sp_Getparents;
This prints the non-distinct values fo all parents to a value.
Now my problem starts when i wish to access the result of this SP from my java code.
For that i have no idea if a DBMS_OUTPUT will give me a resultset or not. If not, then what is the way to do so. I tried creating a REF CURSOR for the same, but was not able to test the result out on sqlplus.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance
Pankaj

You need to return a refcursor like this (9i and up)
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION sp_getparents(child_id IN NUMBER) RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
IS
c SYS_REFCURSOR;
BEGIN
OPEN c FOR
    SELECT parentid
    FROM parent_child
    WHERE parent_child.childid = child_id;
RETURN c;
END sp_get_parents;
show errorsif you want to test this in SQL*Plus:
var c refcursor;
exec :c := sp_getparents(3);
print c;hope this helps

HT2470 how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them part of 1 master file

how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them into 1 master file? I want to put all documents associated with this project together for easier access.

From the finder window, click File, click new folder, you can drag all documents into that Folder making it the master folder. You can ajso drag folders into the Master folder, and have them as sub-folders if you wish to do that. Either way they will all be in one master folder.

Executing batch file from Java stored procedure hang

Dears,
I'm using the following code to execute batch file from Java Stored procedure, which is working fine from Java IDE JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
public static String runFile(String drive)
String result = "";
String content = "echo off\n" + "vol " + drive + ": | find /i \"Serial Number is\"";
try {
File directory = new File(drive + ":");
File file = File.createTempFile("bb1", ".bat", directory);
file.deleteOnExit();
FileWriter fw = new java.io.FileWriter(file);
fw.write(content);
fw.close();
// The next line is the command causing the problem
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c " + file.getPath());
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line;
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
result += line;
input.close();
file.delete();
result = result.substring( result.lastIndexOf( ' ' )).trim();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
result = e.getClass().getName() + " : " + e.getMessage();
return result;
The above code is used in getting the volume of a drive on windows, something like "80EC-C230"
I gave the SYSTEM schema the required privilege to execute the code.
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>', 'read ,write, execute, delete');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '');
EXEC DBMS_JAVA.grant_permission('SYSTEM', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '');
GRANT JAVAUSERPRIV TO SYSTEM;
I have used the following to load the class in Oracle 9ir2 DB:
loadjava -u [system/******@orcl|mailto:system/******@orcl] -v -resolve C:\Server\src\net\dev\Util.java
CREATE FUNCTION A1(drive IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'net.dev.Util.a1(java.lang.String) return java.lang.String';
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
The problem that it hangs when I execute the call to the function (I have indicated the line causing the problem in a comment in the code).
I have seen similar problems on other forums, but no solution posted
[http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-jdeveloper-l/run-an-exe-file-using-oracle-database-trigger-1567662]
I have posted this in JDeveloper forum ([t-853821]) but suggested to post for forum in DB.
Can anyne help?

Dear Peter,
You are totally right, I got this as mistake copy paste. I'm just having a Java utility for running external files outside Oracle DB, this is the method runFile()
I'm passing it the content of script and names of file to be created on the fly and executed then deleted, sorry for the mistake in creating caller function.
The main point, how I claim that the line in code where creating external process is the problem. I have tried the code with commenting this line and it was working ok, I made this to make sure of the permission required that I need to give to the schema passing security permission problems.
The function script is running perfect if I'm executing vbs script outside Oracle using something like "cscript //NoLogo aaa1.vbs", but when I use the command line the call just never returns to me "cmd.exe /c bb1.bat".
where content of bb1.bat as follows:
echo off
vol C: | find /i "Serial Number is"
The above batch file just get the serial number of hard drive assigned when windows formatted HD.
Same code runs outside Oracle just fine, but inside Oracle doesn't return if I exectued the following:
variable serial1 varchar2(1000);
call A1( 'C' ) into :serial1;
Never returns
Thanks for tracing teh issue to that details ;) hope you coul help.

Need to create a function to receive binary files from Java WebDynpro

Hey,
I need to recieve files from java Webdynpro and save them as a file on the backend
system. After that, the file will be loaded to the documentum.
In a function module, I only can get the files as a String. Therefore (I think), I need the
binary file as base64 encoded. Otherwise I can´t get it as a string.
Now I need to decode it in the backend, but how? I know, there are HTTP-classes
in newer system, but not in the 4.6C System, I have here.
Any idea, how I can recieve the files in the function module and transfer it as binary
file to the backend system?
If I load a file from the gui with gui_upload, I get the binary file as an internal table
and can transfer it to the backend filesystem now. Maybe I can get the binary file
in this way in the function?
Thank You for Your help!

How to Call .XDO file From Java Program

Hi,
I have developed a report in using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.
I created the report and it only created XDO files. If I want to call XDO file from Java program how I can do that.
What are the APIs available to do that.
Thanks
-Ashutosh

Hi,
the JavaAPI didn't work with the xdo-Files. But you can create a proxy stub for the Web Service API of BI Publisher which uses the xdo's in the repository.
