Issue with calling Shell Script using DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi All,
I am executing a shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER from APEX web page. Execution part is working fine without any issues.
In my shell script file (abc.sh) I have few oracle sql procedure calls which connects back to same database and that SQL call is not executing some reason, it not giving any errors.
Inside my shell script code looks like this.
sqlplus -silent $USER/$PASSCODE@$SCONNECT > /dev/null <<END
set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off serveroutput on
echo off linesize 1000
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT 9
BEGIN
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
do_enable_cons();
dbms_output.disable;
END;
spool off;
exit;
END
When I run this shell script file from backend it works fine now issues.
Is there any restrictions in executing sql code using DBMS_SCHEDULER? Any ones help is much appreciated.
-Regards

Thanks you sb and Sybrand . It is problem with environment variables. After running .bash_profile in the beginning of the shell script, it is working fine.
One issue is when I check the process it is showing two entries with two different process id's.
The command I used
ps -ef | grep <my script> is COPY & PASTE broken for you?
any reason why you did not show us EXACTLY was produced by OS command above?

Is it something wrong with my code or is it normal? Is it really executing two times ?

Execute unix shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER

Hi,
I am trying run to shell script using DBMS_SCHEDULER.
1) I check..nobody user exist on my HP-UX.
2) I check externaljob.ora on (10.2.0.2.0) also..It has an entry..
run_user = nobody
run_group = nobody
3) I created job successfully and enabled it.
begin
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'test_unix_script',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/tmp/test.ksh',
start_date => '08-NOV-2006 04:45:16 PM',
job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
enabled => TRUE,
auto_drop => FALSE,
comments => 'test_unix_script.'
END;
EXEC DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('test_unix_script');
4) test.ksh script had -r-xr-xr-x permission.
5) When I checking dba_scheduler_job_run_details view, ADDITIONAL_INFO column display following error messgae.
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: No such file or directory
Did I miss anything?
Any help will be appreciated!!
Thanks..

Error executing shell script using dbms_scheduler

I have a job running which executes a shell script,which fails with following error :
SQL> SELECT additional_info

3 WHERE log_date = (SELECT MAX (log_date)
4 FROM user_scheduler_job_run_details);

This are contents of my shell script
#!/bin/ksh
/bin/mkdir /export/home/bwsolaris/abc
Can anyone suggest me some way out of it?
Thanks in advance!!!

Does oracle still creates a user nobody"nobody" is a "standard" Unix/Linux lowly privileged user, which is used by DBMS_SCHEDULER by default.
You should change permissions on /export/home/bwsolaris, e.g.
$ chmod 777 /export/home/bwsolaris
or use a different directory, where everyone has access, for example /tmp.
Or take a look at Metalink Note:391820.1 - Scheduled Job Running Shell Script Fails With ORA-27369

Need to call Shell script that uses SQL loader in APex4.1/11g

Hi there!
I have a requirement, wherein I have to call a shell script that connects to an external server, ftp's a file in and then uses sqlloader to load data into our table. Now we have the ftp script that does this for another program, but is a scheduled job. I wanted to call the ftp shell script from within APEX. Any suggestions on how this can be done, what PL/SQL logic can we use? I see online some people using dbms scheduler for this?
Thank you
Sun

Hi,
Create some sh script on your oracle host machine where you can join into external server and run the process.
something like:
run_external_sh.sh
#!/bin/sh
ssh ext_user@ext_host ./sqlloader/import/import.shThen create a external JOB to call it via ORACLE(PL/SQL)
-- Call Shell Script.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program (
    program_name        => 'external_call_sh',
    program_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
    program_action      => '/local_host/call_external/sh/run_external_sh.sh',
    number_of_arguments => 0,
    enabled             => TRUE,
    comments            => 'Call external SH script');
END;
/Now you can create a scheduled/or not scheduled JOB
-- Job defined by an existing program and schedule.
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
    job_name      => 'jb_external_call_sh',
    program_name => 'external_call_sh',
    schedule_name => 'external_call_scheduler', -- created scheduler
    enabled       => TRUE,
    comments      => 'Job defined by an existing external_call_sh program and schedule.');
END;
/Now you can call the JOB in APEX in PL/SQL process.
BEGIN
-- Run job synchronously.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (job_name            => 'jb_external_call_sh');
END;Regards

Schedule workbook using with Unix shell script

Hi,
Can we schedule workbook using with Unix shell script?
Thanks,
Jay

I can't imagine how.
1. You can schedule Disco workbooks via Disco itself.
2. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via batch scheduler in Windows running Disco Desktop directly (or can user VBasic).
3. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via a Java program running the Java Command Line interface.
Moving forward, Oracle has announced that with a further interfacing of Disco with XML Publisher, you'll be able to use Oracle Apps concurrent manager and scheduling. But that's coming supposedly at the end of this year.
And I think that's about it.

Call a shell script using OA framework page.

Dear all,
I am new to OA Framework.There is a requirement in which I have to call a shell script using a Web page using OA framework.Can anyone throw light on how can we do this?
Regards

Hi,
You can call shell script from Java and hence from OAF, following is a piece of code
try
String execString = "ls -all"
Runtime r t = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(execString);
/* handle you process from here..
outputstreams, inputStreams and such
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace()
I also don't know Java much but to run shell script you need an object runtime class, I searched it on goolge for you.

Calling unix script using oracle forms

we have to call unix script using oracle forms , a trigger in form calls stored procedure on database
that stored procedure on database calls a oracle shared library
but since the only listener account for oracle on our unix server is oralist , whenever a call is made to the unix script from the oracle form , the unix script is executed by oralist user
but issue that we are having now is since oralist is specific for listening connections from orale we dont want to use this user to establish SFTP on it to avoid any issues with oralist
we want the sftp to be established on soem other useraccount , so is it possible to do something so that the script is executed by an account other that oralist.

I'm not a Linux/Unix specialist, but I think this may work: let your database call a shell script that does a su command before running the actual script:
su - other_account
your_script.sh

Calling shell script from sql procedure

Hi gurus
Is it possible
1)to call a shell script from sql procedure
2)that shell script has to return one value
3)and again sql procedure(calling shell script) has to capture the return value.
please help me to write this script

You may NOT have EXECUTE privilege/ permissions on the DBMS_PIPE package. Check with your DBA.
Using DBMS_PIPE may not be that simple to implement. Just making a call to DBMS_PIPE procedure will not do anything. It will NOT trigger anything on the UNIX side.
. You will also need to :
1. Write a job (ie CRON) at UNIX side which will keep read the incoming pipe for new messages, Unpack the message and get the command to be executed at the UNIX side -- There will be a lot of work involved here + DBA presence/activity is also required.
As Justin has pointed out, try and use HOST command which is very simple or try and use Java.

Scheduling an sql script using dbms_scheduler

Hi Experts,
I am having an oracle 10g database on windows platform. I have an sql script which has a normal set of sql statements (insertion and updation).
I would like to schedule to run this sql script using dbms_scheduler but I've gone through certain sites and came to know that it's not possible to schedule an sql script using dbms_scheduler. Please let me know how I can schedule this script using dbms_scheduler.

It is possible - in 10g and above you can use DBMS_SCHEDULER to call an external procedure, which in this case could be a call to your SQL file.
Get's a bit more complicated with older versions, but still doable.
But - unless there is a really good reason why you cannot do so, move this into a PL/SQL procedure as suggested.

Calling Shell script activity in Oracle Workflow.?

Hi,
I am using Oracle Workflow for executing OWB Mappings.
I also defined user defined activities to call shell scripts. It is working fine
But whenver the shell script executes for more than one day, work flow is not proceeding further even though, the shell script execution completed.
I have to manually skip that activity as success.
Did anyone face this type of problem?
Thanks in advance.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen.

Hi Matt,
I have seen your previous replies to the posts.
I think, the problem which I am getting is may be with TIMEOUT. Once the day crosses, the even the shell activity is completed, the workflow is not recognizing its completion.
I am using Oracle Warehouse builder. In I am using process flow editor to create workflows.
I verified for the options of changing timeouts. I couldnot able to get any.
Could you please help me, How I could set those values in backend.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you,

Gowtham Sen.

Calling shell script from apex application

Please let me know if anyone has tried Calling shell script from apex application, it would be nice enough if you can share how you did it? Thanks

Hi,
Requirements
* CREATE JOB (10g Rel.1)
* CREATE EXTERNAL JOB (10g Rel.2 / 11g)
* EXECUTE on dbms_scheduler (granted to public by default)
Since Oracle 10.2.0.2 the commands are executed as user nobody.
Code:
--Create a Program for dbms_scheduler
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program('RDS2008','EXECUTABLE','c:\ WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c echo 0wned >> c:\rds3.txt',0,TRUE);
--Create, execute and delete a Job for dbms_scheduler
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(job_name => 'RDS2008JOB',program_name => 'RDS2008',start_date => NULL,repeat_interval => NULL,end_date => NULL,enabled => TRUE,auto_drop => TRUE);
--delete the program
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.drop_program(PROGRAM_NAME => 'RDS2008');
--Purge the logfile for dbms_scheduler
exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.PURGE_LOG;
This is one way as suggested by Trent.
We can also achieve as follows.

Issue with running Unix Script during post processing

Dear all,
In one of the requirement, we need a execute a UNIX script in the post procesing steps of file channel.
When the script is run independently on the UNIX prompt, it executes very well.
But when the same script is kept in the post processing steps of the file channel, it doesn't give the desired results.
In the channel log, it says the script is executed but we are not able to see the output. (in this case, ist writing some dummy text in a new file). The script has all the permissions for all the users, read write and execute.
If anyone has a similar issue, kindly respond with the resolutions.
Regards,
Younus

HI Younus
How you are running the script. Could be a problem with the command you are trying to execute from channel. Let us know the way you are doing
Check whether installed and executed on XI server properly then again check with channel.
Check with these for reference

Calling Shell Scripts in Business Workflow and Guided Procedures

Hi *,
is it possible to call shell scripts in business workflow and guided procedures? would need further documentation (how to, blog,...) about this issue.
Thx in advance,
Rene.

Hello,
Workflows consist of tasks.
A task executed an object's method.
Methods are written in ABAP.
In the method you can code whatever you like, including code to execute shellscripts.
How to do this is not really a workflow question, I would suggest asking in an ABAP forum on how to write a function module to do this in a pure ABAP context. Then it's just a matter of inserting it into a method for use in your WF.
Cheers,
Mike

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');

Issue with instant ringback when using sip trunk to SP

Hi all,
We use CUCM 8.0.2.
We have a SIP trunk to a SP connected via one of our Cisco 2911 routers configured as a CUBE.
Cisco IOS Software, C2900 Software (C2900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.150-1.M3.bin

uc              uck9            Permanent
data           None            None
We also have several ISDN lines that run out via various Cisco routers configured as H323 gateways.
We use 7945 and CIPC for our phones.
We're having an issue with calls going via the SIP trunk where we hear ringing instantly after dialling - but before the actual device at the other end starts ringing (considerable difference).
Using the SIP trunk: If I make a call to my mobile phone - I hear ringing instantly - about 3 rings before my mobile phone actually starts ringing - undesireable.
Using H323 gateway: If I make a call to my mobile phone - I hear silence for a bit - then ringing when the mobile starts ringing - desired.
Using SIP trunk: If I make a call to a landline that is ready - it rings instantly for at least 1 ring - before the actual phone I'm calling starts ringing - undesireable.
Using H323 gateway: There is a momentary pause before hearing ringing on my phone and the phone I dialled - desired.
Using SIP trunk: If I make a call to a landline that is off-hook (with no call-waiting/etc.) - it rings once and then returns the busy signal (the worst issue) - undesireable.
Using H323 gateway: There is a momentary pause before hearing busy signal - desired.
Phone to phone internally (same network): Operates as expected (instantly rings locally and on the phone I'm calling). Between phones that utilise the SIP trunk and phones that utilise the H323 gateways within the same network - communication is instant and as expected.
Any ideas why this happens and how to stop it?
I want it to not ring until the situation is known and that it can provide the appropriate feedback (ringing/busy/etc.).
Some possibly relevant config (note that there is a known bug with this IOS that meant I had to declare the codec in each dial-peer as the voice class would not work):

I ended up resolving this issue as follows:
In CUCM, under Device > Device Settings > SIP Profile.
I modifed the profile relevant to my SIP trunk, under the "Trunk Specific Configuration", I set "SIP Rel1XX Options" from "Disabled" to "Send PRACK if 1xx Contains SDP".
Now, I get the expected delay before hearing ringback.
Solved!
