Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL

Hi gurus,
Would require your help.Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL??If yes can you give an example for the same or any workaround for the same.

Hi!
Youn need some extproc related entries in you listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file.
*1. In the listener.ora:*
Defining the listener process is done in two parts.
The information contained in each listener differs!!!
The first part is as follows:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc)) <--- *ADD THIS LINE
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhostname)(PORT = 1521))
)The seoncd part is as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = YOUR_GLOBAL_DBNAME)
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <-- THIS IS YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (SID_NAME = YOUR_SID)                            <-- SID
    (SID_DESC =                                              <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)                          <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <--- ADD THIS LINE AND EDIT TO YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (PROGRAM = extproc)                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ENV = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")                  <--- ADD THIS LINE
    )                                                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
)*2. In the tnsnames.ora you need to add the following entry:*
*(The KEY value entered must be match to the KEY value entered int the listener.ora file!)*
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
)Finally you need to restart your listiner. After restarting there will be a service called "PLSExtProc" in your listener.
This are only examples for extproc configuration, your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora can be differs.
FIRST MAKE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL tnsnames.ora AND listener.ora FILES
For more information please check metalink note 68061.1 "EXTPROC: Creating External Procedures on Windows NT"

You didn't specify a database version, but if you are 10g or higher, it's quite straightforward using an external job type in DBMS_SCHEDULER. Funnily enough i'm looking at something similar myself at the moment.

Running batch files from Java using exec method

Hi,
I want to run a batch file from my Java program like this:
try {
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Refresh.bat");
catch (Exception e) {
MessageBox.show(e.getMessage());
Refresh.bat file contains two commands.
First one unzips certain zip file.
Second one refreshes a SQL Server database using osql utility.
Problem is that when program is run it executes only the first command and hangs on the second one.
Please help.
TIA
Ravinder

From the FAQ:
2. How do you launch an external program on a Microsoft Windows platform from a program developed on the Java [tm] programming language?
The following will launch notepad in Microsoft Windows NT:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c notepad.exe");
To launch a program in Microsoft Windows 95/98 use:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe");
The Runtime class allows interaction between a program and its environment. The first string command instructs the command line interpretor, cmd to open up the calculator application.
The exec() methods do not use a shell; any arguments must have the full pathname to the shell as well as the command itself.
For example, to run a shell on the UNIX� platform, type:
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = rt.exec("/usr/bin/sh -c date");
To run a batch file under Microsoft Windows 95/98:
Process p = rt.exec("command.com /c c:\\mydir\\myfile.bat");
To run a batch file under Microsoft Windows NT:
Process p = rt.exec("cmd /c c:\\mydir\\myfile.bat");
where 'cmd' and 'command.com' are the command-line interpreters for Microsoft Windows machines.
The Runtime.exec() methods might not work effectively for some processes on certain platforms. Special care should be taken with native windowing, daemon, WIN16/DOS process or some shell scripts.

Run remote batch file from Web Application Server

Hello,
I've developyed a Java program and deployed it on WAS v7.1.
My java program tries to run a remote batch file which is located on remote Windows file system (and not on the WAS file system itself).
The batch file was launched on the remote server (I saw it on the Task Manager of the remote server), but the remote batch file actually wasn't run (it was stuck).
In order to run the remote batch file from my java program that is deployed on the WAS I've created a batch file on the WAS file system which its contnet is:
cd c:\jobs
psexec.exe
iltlvt40 -u SAPServiceCE1 -p a2i2000! c:\automation\DiskSpace\runDiskSpace.bat
The jobs folder contains the psexec.exe file (you can find more details about the psexec on this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx).
iltlvt40 is the remote server.
SAPServiceCE1/a2i2000! is a user/password on the remote server which has a full permissions.
My java program calls this batch file using the Runtime.exec() java method in order to run the remote batch file.
Please guide me how to solve this problem?
Best regards,
Ahmad

Hi,
To which batch file you have meant to add some commands: for the local one or remote?
I've added to the local one some different commands and it's works.
I think there is a permission problem when we are trying to go out of the WAS file system.
Best regards,
Ahmad

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.

@echo off
if x==%1x goto howto
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; %1 %2 %3

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat");
so ,that invokes the batch file.Till that point its ok.
since the batch file accpets arguments(%1 %2 %3) how do i pass those arguments to the batch file from my code ...???
%1 is a classname : for ex: gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC
%2 is the name of the input file for ex : C:/Downloads/Marcxml/source.xml
%3 is the name of the output file for ex: C:/Downloads/Marcxml/target.mrc

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\source.xml C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\target.mrc") ;
I get the following error :

1 - create a java class (Executer.java) for example:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class Executer {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(args);
               Class<?> c = Class.forName(args[0]);
               Class[] argTypes = new Class[] { String[].class };
               Method main = c.getDeclaredMethod("main", argTypes);
               // String[] mainArgs = Arrays.copyOfRange(args, 1, args.length); //JDK 6
               //jdk <6
               String[] mainArgs = new String[args.length - 1];
               for (int i = 0; i < mainArgs.length; i++) {
                    mainArgs[i] = args[i + 1];
               main.invoke(null, (Object) mainArgs);
               // production code should handle these exceptions more gracefully
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NoSuchMethodException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IllegalAccessException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InvocationTargetException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
2 - create a .bat file:
@echo off
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; Executer %TARGET_CLASS% %IN_FILE% %OUT_FILE%3 - use set command to pass variable:
Open MS-DOS, and type the following:
set TARGET_CLASS=MyTargetClass
set IN_FILE=in.txt
set OUT_FILE=out.txt
Then run your .bat file (in the same ms dos window)
Hope that Helps

I can't open batch files in windows 8.1

I am trying to run a batch file in windows 8.1, when i run the batch file runs at first but closes so fast that you can't see its contents, you can't even see if its doing what you tell it to. Since the file does run but closes fast, i thought of adding
pause. Adding pause did not fix the problem. I am not sure if i have to change my keys on regedit, or i have some kind of malicious software that needs to be fixed ( I think i have no malicious software, i have run security scan many times
nothing showed up, I had a Trojan horse, Trojan.Gen2, long time ago but the Trojan got quarantined?) I originally had windows 8 but upgraded to windows 8.1.
Help Please! I don't Know what to do!!!

Hi Glogikon,
"I am trying to run a batch file in windows 8.1, when i run the batch file runs at first but closes so fast that you can't see its contents, you can't even see if its doing what you tell it to."
According to my experience ,it is a normal symptom .Did the bat file run well before ?
Have you tried to run the command one by one in the bat file from a command line ?Have you tried to run the other bat files which including a output to have a check ?
If it is possible ,please post the command of the bat file here .We will make a test for you .
To check whether the bat run well ,this link may be useful:
check if command was successfull in a batch file
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14691494/check-if-command-was-successfull-in-a-batch-file
" I think i have no malicious software, i have run security scan many times nothing showed up,"
We can try to work with the following official free tool to have a check .It is recommended to run it in a safe mode to improve the quality of the scanning.
