Invoking UNIX executables from client side forms

Has anyone had any success invoking UNIX executables from forms without using "hosted" rsh and/or rcp commands? There are too many of these UNIX executables to convert to PL/SQL procedures. Have developed a technique using dbms_pipe package but requires a daemon on UNIX side. Any thoughts or sugesstions? Thanks.

I have done alot of this and the only way that I know of is using dbms_pipe. It looks alot harder than it really is. Also you may want to look at using Forms Server on your database server. I know that you can use the host command, which if running on your database server will send the command to your unix server.

Invoking unix executable from java

How do I capture the RETURN VALUE from the Unix process (executable) invoked from java program

After using Runtime.getRuntime() , and using runtime.exec(ProcessName), You get a Process object you can use waitFor() method of process. After that call process.getInputStream() and encapsulate in DataInputStream then onwards u can use readLine method to get value it is returned.

Starting the datapump jobs from client side

sir
please make me understand
datapump is server side utility means we can not invoke it from client. but in documents (oracle).
they r talking that we can start the datapump job from client(Sqlplus) but the dmp files will be saved and the process will run on the server side
so how can invoke the datapump from the client side (SQL Plus) ?

The correct understanding should be that it's configured only for server side which means, that the folder where the dump files would be created would be available on a folder which must be there on the server side and over which, proper permissions must be available to you in the form of Directory object. There is no such thing that it can't be invoked sitting on the client side. It surely can but unlike the traditional export, there is no facility available anymore to give absolute file paths which would store the file on the local client machine.
but in documents (oracle).
they r talking that we can start the datapump job from client(Sqlplus) but the dmp files will be saved and the process will run on the server sideAll what they are saying is that since the datapump's API, DBMS_DATAPUMP , is completely exposed and is documented, it can be used by the client and as like any other package, either stored or created, can be invoked from the sqlplus session. The dump files location would indeed be on the server side only.
so how can invoke the datapump from the client side (SQL Plus) ?As mentioned already by Srini, using the API .

How can i load file into database from client-side to server-side

i want to upload file from client-side to server-side, i use the following code to load blob into database.
if the file is in the server-side, it can work, but if it in the client-side, it said that the system cannot find the file. i think it only will search the file is in the server-side or not, it will not search the client-side.
how can i solve it without upload the file to the server first, then load it into database??
try
ResultSet rset = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt =
conn.prepareStatement ("insert into docs values (? , EMPTY_BLOB())");
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
pstmt.execute ();
// Open the destination blob:
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
rset = pstmt.executeQuery (
"SELECT content FROM docs WHERE id = ? FOR UPDATE");
BLOB dest_lob = null;
if (rset.next()) {
dest_lob = ((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB (1);
// Declare a file handler for the input file
File binaryFile = new File (fileName);
FileInputStream istream = new FileInputStream (binaryFile);
// Create an OutputStram object to write the BLOB as a stream
OutputStream ostream = dest_lob.getBinaryOutputStream();
// Create a tempory buffer
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length = 0;
// Use the read() method to read the file to the byte
// array buffer, then use the write() method to write it to
// the BLOB.
while ((length = istream.read(buffer)) != -1)
ostream.write(buffer, 0, length);
pstmt.close();
// Close all streams and file handles:
istream.close();
ostream.flush();
ostream.close();
//dest_lob.close();
// Commit the transaction:
conn.commit();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {

Hi,
Without some more details of the configuration, its difficult to know
what's happening here. For example, what do you mean by client side
and server side, and where are you running the upload Java application?
If you always run the application on the database server system, but can't
open the file on a different machine, then it sounds like a file protection
problem that isn't really connected with the database at all. That is to
say, if the new FileInputStream (binaryFile) statement fails, then its not
really a database problem, but a file protection issue. On the other hand,
I can't explain what's happening if you run the program on the same machine
as the document file (client machine), but you can't write the data to the
server, assuming the JDBC connection string is set correctly to connect to
the appropriate database server.
If you can provide some more information, we'll try to help.

How to use KeyChain API from client-side HTML scripting in Safari on iPad?

I have a requirement where I need to add client-side scripting in an HTML page to be supported by Safari on iPad that creates a private / public key pair and that creates a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) in PKCS#10 or SPKAC format that can be sent to a certification authority server using form HTTP/POST that will then return the generated certificate.
I initially thought that I could simply use the HTML 5 tag <keygen> which can do exactly what I need, but unfortunately this tag is not at all supported on mobile Apple devices like iPad or iPhone, so I have to look for another solution.
I have noticed that the KeyChain tool should be available on iPad using the documented API, but I have no idea based on the documentation whether the API can be called from client-side HTML scripting on iPad.
Question : is it technically possible using the functionalities and API's exposed on an iPad to implement what I just described in HTML client-side scripting? If so, do you have some links with useful information that can help me on my way?

Each app server provides their own jndi factory class. For ex for weblogic it is weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory. SInce you are using sun app server, check if there are any examples to find out or the docs.
private static String url="http://localhost:4848
Since the client is in a different machine the localhost is not going to work here. provide the url or the machine name of the system in which ur sunapp server is running. In addition u will need to have the stubs of the remote interfaces in ur client machine.

How call session bean from Client side

Hi
calling session bean from client side it gives Lookup erroe, it gives JNDI error
how we know session bean is working. in Admin tree bean statis is reb Flaf, and ID is "Down" how we activate it..
null

If you can make a connection using sess_sh, then you know that you have configured your database and listener properly. If it is not working, read the manuals that you can download from technet. They are pretty good, and if you follow the directions, you should see success.
Good Luck!

Invoke scheduled job from client

I would like to know your inputs on
1. If XML Publisher 5.6.2 supports invoking scheduled jobs from client {Java program, web app}?
I understand XMLP uses OpenSymphony Quartz library for scheduling.
2. Can we start, stop job {e.g. using SchedulerFactory, Trigger etc.}?
There is no mention about this in "User Guide".

Alternatively you could use OLE2 to do the bulk of the importing and exporting and then use the webutil file transfer functions to move the file to the client and then simply open the file there...That might be more efficient in terms of performance as well.

How To Update A Table View From Client Side !!!!

Hi I would like to update a table view from the Client Side. So that the user can keep updating the relevent data on the client and when they have finally finished they can press Save so the entire page is then sent to the Server.
Does anyone know how to do this, I guess u have to use the EPCM, I have just started on it and would really appreciate some Help.
Thanks,
Emmanuel.

This is what I found :-
There are a couple of ways to approach this.
1) load the excel spreadsheet into the database "as is". You can use interMedia
text to convert the .xls file into a .htm file (HTML) or use iFS (see
http://technet.oracle.com/
for
more info on that) to parse it as well. InterMedia text will convert your XLS
spreadsheet into a big HTML table (easy to parse out what you need at that
point)
2) Using OLE automation, a program you write can interact with Excel, request
data from a spreadsheet, and insert it. Oracle Forms is capable of doing this
for example as is other languages environments. In this fashion, you can remove
the "manual" and "sqlldr" parts -- your program can automatically insert the
data.
3) You can write a VB script that uses ODBC or Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) in
Excel. This VB script would be able to put selected data from the spreadsheet
into the database. We would recommend OO4O. It provides an In-Process COM
Automation Server that provides a set of COM Automation interfaces/objects for
connecting to Oracle database servers, executing queries and managing the
results. OO4O is available from
http://technet.oracle.com

Error while invoking a Dataservice from client application

Hi Suresh varma
Did you get any answer for your problem?
I'm having the exact same problem. Working with Weblogic 8.1 SP6 and getting this strange message whenever I'm calling my data service.
I've followed the guidlines given on the URL posted here, and still getting the same message.

BEx Error: Automation error: Object invoked has disconnected from clients

Hi,
We have a user here that attempts to access a query in BEx (MS Excel), but receives this error message:
- Runtime error '-2147417848 (80010108)':

The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.
Any ideas.
Thanks,

Please go through the OSS note 857360..
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=857360&_NLANG=E
This talks about your error..
Solution
1) Replace the RFC library
librfc32.dll
on the client PC with a current version.
620: Version >= 6206.6.1938.4727 (620x.x.x.4727).
640: Version >= 6400.3.79.4740 (640x.x.x.4740).
There is a version of the 620 and 640 librfc32.dll in the attachments: and we recommend that you use Version 640 (compatible with SAPGUI 620) (see below).
620 Version: Download librfc32.rar. Rename it librfc32.exe. This file extracts itself automatically.
640 Version: Download librfc32.zip. You can use WinZip to extract this file.
Note:
It seems that newer (delivered) versions of 6.20 librfc32.dll do not contain this fix. In this case, you can also use the 6.40 librfc32.dll. For reasons of compatibility, you should use the following Microsoft DLLs that are available on the PC for this: msvcr71.dll and to be msvcp71.dll (see Note 684106).

</env:Envelope>
Even when pasting the original request from the Test Console in ALSB into "soapUI" and executing the request it does not work:
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<env:Header/>
<env:Body>
<env:Fault xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd">
<faultcode>wsse:InvalidSecurity</faultcode>
<faultstring>Could not validate encryption against any of the supported token types</faultstring>
</env:Fault>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
So what's behind all this? Why does it work in the test console but never from other points.

In both ways, with Direct Call option selected or deselected, the behaviour is the same.
I cannot explain, why the replay of the request does not work from outside the Service Bus. Is there some sort of unique data mixed into the CipherValue data or something like that?

Client-side form validation fails

Hi guys,
Below is a very simple form with some client side validation.
on submission it takes me to the results page with out popping an
error. I checked it in both IE and Firefox. I checked the source
after displaying the page and there are javascript elements built.
I am testing this on my local box, with coldfusion mx 7 on
apache.
Is there anything special I have to do with the server
settings, or browser settings or there something else.
Thanks,
Frank

What department do you work for? 
<cfselect name="dept" size="1" query="temp"

</cfselect>
 
<cfinput type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

</cfform>

Odd, indeed. The validation Javascript works on my PC,
showing an alert. I only replaced your query with mine. There might
be something wrong with your installation of the Coldfusion system
folder, /CFIDE/scripts/.

Calling Web Form from Client-Server Form

Hi. I have an existing Client-Server Form (6i) still in production that needs to call a Web Form and pass it a parameter. Obviously I can't use Call Form or New Form from the client-server version, but can I somehow issue a command line (including a parameter) that opens the Web Form? Any suggestions for accomplishing this?
I can create a command line like this, but have no idea how to pass a parameter to my Web Form. The Web Form named participants which has a Parameter defined named 'p_participant'.
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants*
I can also create a command line to open a web form like this to:
*"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/html/sas2.htm*
Where the sas2.htm looks like this:
*<html>*
*<body onload="document.menulaunch.submit();">*
Launching File Generation...
If the application does not load in 30 seconds then click the button below:
*<form name=menulaunch action=http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=FileGeneration method=post>*
*<script>*
var wshshell=new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
var username=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orauser%");
var pw=wshshell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%orapass%");
document.write("<input type=hidden name=userid value="+username+"/"+pw+"@sparc20*>")*
*</script>*
*<input type=submit value=Launch>*
*</form>*
*</body>*
*</html>*
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Simply add to your URL as follows:
http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>I assume you plan to use HOST to make this call. I would recommend something like this:
HOST ('cmd /c start iexplore.exe "http://9.35.32.206:7777/forms/frmservlet?form=participants&otherparams=p_participant=<SOME VALUE>"');
