Is there anything like HOST command in Forms in Reports ??

Hello everybody
Is there any command in reports like a HOST command in Forms through which I can call a system command.
My goal is I want to invoke a shell script from my report that will run in the background, do few things and come back to the report once a button is pressed.
Thanks in advance :-)

You can4t use the host command, but there is a solution available if you are running 8i with java see http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum3/HTML/003262.html

Hope that will help you

Hello,
Please, give the exact Forms / database versiob you use in your every post.
You can use PL/SQL tables like this:
Declare
type tab_char Is Table of Varchar2(100) index by binary_integer ;
tt tab_char ;
Begin
for i in 1 .. 5 loop
tt(i) := to_char(ii);
end loop;
End;Francois

E71: Is there somthing like ipconfig/command promp...

Is there something like a command prompt on the E71 where I can run something similar to ipconfig? When I goto the address of 192.168.1.1, I normally get the local wifi routers prompting for passwords...... but now theres a new access point appearing and I want to find out what the IP is I'm connecting on without dragging the laptop around.
Which led me to notice I had no clue about any form of command prompt on the phones OS, searching the internet given me developer level info that really is too much.

EXCELLENT! Could you please please post your dialling files for AT&T?? Even better if you could upload a zip of your entire /etc/ppp/peers folder that would be nicer even. I am in desperate need to get the $15 MediaNet tethering on my Fedora 10 laptop working over bluetooth, I used to do it before with T-mobile T-zones with my E61, but since then I switched to my E71 and moved my number to AT&T and my attempts to adapt my scripts to AT&T have not been successful yet however tethering under Windows XP with the Nokia PC suite works though...

Run like Host command in plsql

Hi,
We are using Host command in sql*plus , but i need to implement like host command in Plsql. I refered previous post and some other links , that most of them are prefered only java stored procedure, And even that restricted previllage.
Can you give some sample example launchiing Win OS command in plsql
venki

To run a batch file, you need to use the Command Shell (and please do not call it a DOS shell like some people tend to do as it is not DOS). E.g.
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\temp\test.bat
We're running cmd.exe with switch /c that tells cmd to execute the command we're passing it, and then to terminate.
Note that we cannot interact with the shell from the PL/SQL side - we cannot answer prompts and so on. The script run, must be a proper batch/non-interactive script.
Also, the Oracle Server process (Win32 thread actually) that is servicing our Oracle client connection, is running the command for us. This thread itself is a background service process. It could run in Windows configured environment (VM/Virtual Machine) that is not allowed to interact with the desktop - or have limited or no access to certain files, folders and programs.
Technically speaking, this is what happens:
1) we pass the command to execute from our client to the Oracle server session servicing us
2) this Oracle thread uses the Java VM to make a Win32 call called CreateProcess()
3) the Win32 kernel executes that process
4) the process starts, runs and terminates
5) the Java VM inside the Oracle Server process regains control and pass the exit code and standard output of that process to PL/SQL
6) PL/SQL in turns, returns that very same data to our client
If you for example run a program that pauses and expects input, or hangs.. it will cause the above series of steps to stop at step 4. With the Java VM waiting on it to complete, and we waiting for the Java VM and PL/SQL call to complete.

Is there anything like AlienSkin for Fireworks CS6?

Is there anything like AlienSkin for Fireworks CS6? I realize there is Fireworks Exchange, but I've found it to be a bit disappointing. In older versions of FW I used a couple AlienSkin products for lightning, fire, chrome, etc effects. Don't care if I have to pay for it or not. I called Adobe support line and they were less than helpful, and after asking a couple questions the lady couldn't answer the call was magically dropped. I'm probably just being dumb and missing something obvious here, but any guidance or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Why not download the trial versions to see if they work for you, and whether or not you like them?

The Smartbookmarks page refers to this add-on in its place:

I have no idea if it's basically the same or anything about its reliability.

HOST command and Forms 4.5

We were using HOST command(to start SQL Plus) in one of the form of our application (forms version 4.5) and this application was running fine on Win NT. Now this application is moved onto Windows 2000. Now we noticed that once the HOST command statement is executed, the application goes into hang and has to terminated. We fixed this problem temporarily by putting a message() and pause statement before and after HOST command statement and the application is running fine. I would like a better solution to this problem. If anyone has encountered this kind of problem or any idea, please reply.

Hi, there,
I have the same problem with my program. Have you figured it out the solution? and if not, could you show me the code of your temporary fix? my email is: [email protected]
Thanks

Host command in forms/reports

Is there a host command in reports 6i? I used this in forms 6i. When I tried to use in Reports 6i, I received a compile error.
basically all I need to do is to get directory information. This can be easily done in forms using the host command. Is there any built in package or function to achieve this in reports?
thanks

there is no "host" command in reports 6i (or earlier versions). you might want to consider using forms+reports combination (calling the report from within a form, in which you can execute the host command and do whatever you want to do, then pass the related parameters to the report). I am using this approach to handle some complex end user reporting requirements.
hope this proves useful
regards

Call HOST command FROM FORMS 4.5 AND 6.0

I have a problem that I found out about yesterday, and have no idea how to fixe it.
I created a form to run on form 4.5.9.7 In this form i call up the host command, but it does not work properly, because by using the host oracle stops there until i close the application that i called with the host, it hangs there. But now it doesn't do it, once the host is executed, it continues the rest of the code that i have, which should not.
On the same computer i created another form on forms 6.0.5.2 and call the host command again, and finally it worked perfect! I mean until the program called by host command is running forms does not continue, it hangs there.
Could someone explains me that please, is there some patch I need on forms 4.5?
null

We converted forms from 4.5 to 6.0. Basically all you have to do is recompile the forms. but, the very first thing you have to do is recompile all the libraries. The forms will not work if you don't recompile the libraries first. So, open and compile the libraries in 6.0, then open and compile the forms in 6.0. They should then work fine. If they do not, try deleting and reattaching the libraries and compile again.
Good luck.

Is there anything like Disk Doctor and Speed Disk for Leopard?

Is there any way to do ordinary "maintenance" on a computer using Leopard? Is there any need to do anything? I've had this computer for 8 months now, and I feel kind of guilty not doing anything like running disk doctor for so long!

So Disk Utilities is all I really need to use?
Yes, unless it runs into a disk structure problem it can't fix, in which case DiskWarrior or Techtool Pro may be needed. If you encounter a disk permissions problem which it can't fix, post back or look at the Knowledge Base for help.
