Need to run Shell script based report from EM Grid Control

Hi DBAs,
I have a monitoring script for host which I want to run from OEM and send me the email report every day. I have configured soem reports for SQLs but not sure how can I get it working using OEM. Looking for your help. I am using Grid Contro Version 10.2.0.4.
Regards
-Samar-

OK.. I was under the impression that u have a script ready :)
Now u different way's to implement.
1.If it's an application which has a login page url,u can monitor URL from OEM with HTTP ping
2.U can have a job where it will check for process using ps -ef and set that job will fail if it doesn't get N no.of processes somthing like that.

What components do I need to run my CR XI reports from another application?

Post Author: rickcf
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
We have just started using CR XI and have written 2 reports that is parameter driven and run off an Oracle database. We have an application written in Java that also runs off this database. We want to have the java application run the two reports by passing in the parameters to the reports. Can anyone tell me how I can accomplish this from a CR stand point. Any components I might need install or have running to make CR XI run nice with the Java client/server application. Any things we will need on the workstation side to make the reports run for all the users. Any info or insight appreciated.
Thanks

Running Shell Script

Hi all,
I need to run shell script on one of linux servers while executing some IdM workflow.
There is no need to manage that server/ provision accounts / reset passwords etc but just to run the script and to process the result.
I have IdM 8.04 installed on Windows Machine.
What are my options to achieve that mission?
Thank You,
Alex.

I was considering a situation similar to AD after actions where sometimes we execute a dos batch file for any specific purpose like creating home folder using mkdir. I was thinking on similar lines if your shell script is also for a specifc function similar to the one I mentioned above and if it is applicable in windows environment, you might covert that into a dos batch and do similar to an after action.
Since you need your shell script to be run in UNIX / LINUX machine, I do not see any other way other than writing a java class and invoke within a wf as it was mentioned by etech or if you are planning on using any of the out of the box resource adapters, the AIX resource adapter reference might help, but I have not worked with that

Can you please explain what you are trying to accomplish?
To my understanding there is no such thing like a sudo password for a normal user. Sudo allows users to become root based on a sudo list (suoders). The user is then prompted for their own account password to run as super-user or root.

Running shell scripts from within oracle. A big task is forgotten

Dear List,
I have some shell shell scripts which do some tasks on the linux OS level.
I am calling the Korn scripts using a java class, which in turn is being called from a PLSQL function.
All but one of the 10 script works fine. This is the script which does the most work, and takes on average 40 minutes usually.
Why does Oracle forget the running of the shell script? I wait in my PLSQL function for the return code, but it never comes. The scripts I have not written myself !
I look forward to your reply on this matter.
regards
Ben

Hi
If you are using the Oracle database 10g, the new dbms_scheduler package allows you to run shell scripts. The dbms_scheduler.create_job procedure have one parameter called the job_action in which you specify the full path of the shell script.
I hope this will help

Output from Run Shell Script action

Does anyone know what happens to the output of a "Run Shell Script" Automator action if there are no further actions? Does it simply get discarded, or does it end up in a log somewhere?

It's the same for any action, nothing.
The results passed on to the next action is generally just a list of file paths, or perhaps some text, or maybe a reference to a single item. In the "Run Shell Script" case, the result would likely simply be some text, perhaps as a list of lines.
So, if there are no more actions, any of those results are just dropped.
However, a list of files (or whatever) is actually just part of the results. An action performs some task on the input, or on the results from a previous action. In a sense, there can be said to be two parts to the "results". For example, perhaps an action changes some photos to black & white, so the photos will have been changed and then the paths to the photos (list of items) will be passed to the next action. The list of items is the only usable part for the next action, if there is a next action.
You can use Automator's "View Results" action after it to see the results, TextEdit's "New Text File" to create a file with the previous results as the contents, TextEdit's "New TextEdit Document" to open a new document with the results as the document's contents, and so on.

Running shell scripts from GUI

I'm trying to run a simple shell script (bash or sh) from the GUI (just double click it).
I've managed to run it by double clicking, BUT, it runs from my home directory (even if i add --noprofile or remove #!/bin/bash line completely).
How can I keep the current directory, or at least get it as a variable?
Thanks,

Passing params from SQL file to Shell Script and then from Shell to SQL Fil

Afternoon guys,
Have a fun question for all you gurus in shell scripting out there. I have a shell script that is calling 2
different SQL programs. My objective is to pass a variable called request_number from one sql program
to the shell script and then from the shell script back to another SQL program. I will explain why I
need this to happen.
Here is what the shell script looks like which calls sql programs student_load_a.sql and
student_load_b.sql. Student_load_a.sql basically creates the control file (.ctl) which is needed for the
SQL*Loader and then student_load_b.sql reads the table that was just loaded and does the main
processing. My main objective here is to be passing the request_number which is being generated
using an Oracle Sequence in student_load_a.sql and using this generated number in my main
processing in student_load_b.sql to select records from the table based on request_number.
Any ideas ?Any help or recommendations is welcome and appreciated.
*1. Shell Script*
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
# Create control files for sqlload

How come you are mixing WinDoze script (*.exe) with Unix?
You are aware that you will be passing the password along with the user id to the second sql script?
I will assume Unix ksh:
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
# Create control files for sqlload
p_seqno=`sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_a.sql $p_job_id`
exit_status=$?
# Do sqlloads
sqlldr userid=$p_user_id control=student_load-$p_job_id.ctl \
       log=student_load-$p_job_id.log \
       bad=student_load-$p_job_id.bad
exit_status=$?
# Main processing
# sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_request_number
sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql \
           $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_seqno
exit_status=$?
exit 0And the first sql script would look like this:
-- student_load_a.sql
-- Accept system input parameters
set echo off pages 0 feed off lin 80 trims on ver off
def p_job_id = &1
col seqno NEW_VALUE seqno
select request_number_seq.nextval seqno from dual;
set term off
spool student_load-$p_job_id.ctl
select
'append into table TMP_STUDENT_LOAD
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '','' optionally enclosed by ''"''
trailing nullcols
(request_number CONSTANT ''&&seqno'',
student_id)'
from   dual
spool off;
exit 0;
{code}

Use Launchd to run shell script at boot

Hello
I'm trying to create a plist file that will run a shell script at bootup of the server.
I have the following xml so far in the plist file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.apple.mymount</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/mount-script/./mount.sh</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
The shell script is just a mount command:
#!bin/sh
#MOUNT folder X ON server Y
sudo -u _www mount_smbfs -f 777 -d 777 //username:password@server/folder /mnt/mount
The shell script works fine from the terminal.
I can see the plist has loaded after bootup but the script doesn't run.
What am I doing wrong?
Would need some help please!

First problem:
<string>com.apple.mymount</string>
com.apple is (or at least should be) reserved for Apple scripts, not your own. This should be renamed to your own domain (or your own name if you don't have a domain).
In addition the .plist file name should match (so if you rename the script Label to be 'com.my.mount' then the .plist should be com.my.mount.plist. You don't include the file name in your post to know if you're already doing that.
Second:
<string>/mount-script/./mount.sh</string>
What? That looks wrong to me. Of course, it could be right, but the '/./ in the middle worries me, so I just can't think it is.
Where is the script, really?
Third:
sudo -u _www mount_smbfs -f 777 -d 777 //username:password@server/folder /mnt/mount
No. Never use 'sudo' within a launchd task. If you need the task to run as a different user then use the launchd keyword UserName to specify that username:
<key>UserName</key>
<string>_www</string>
I can see the plist has loaded after bootup but the script doesn't run.
If none of the above fixes it then look at the logs and tell us what it has to say. /var/log/system.log

Create/ run MDX script on Essbase from FDM

Hi there,
Can anybody help me by creating and executing an MDX query from an import script in FDM?
I've managed to create and run a report script on Essbase but the larger the cube the slower the report script.
Therefore i was thinking about MDX.
But before trying for days myself i was hoping someone might have experience in this and is willing to share.
Thanks in advance,

Hmm, why does the word "Platypus" keep running through my head?
Bob, I'm trying to do the same thing (create a .app to launch a unix application) and I also ran into the aesthetic issue of the spinning gear in the menu bar for the entire time the app was running. Since the unix app I'm running is a Usenet news reader, that spinning gear would be a long-term distraction. I'll check out Platypus, but I and probably the others in this thread are trying to learn how to do this stuff ourselves to further our OS X knowledge, not merely to solve this one problem.
So with that being said, does anyone know if there's a way to create an Automator "Run Shell Script" action with that spinning gear in the menu bar suppressed? You know, besides using Platypus.

I need to run a clean scan report on my os x mac purchased in 2006.
Can anyone help me identify a software that will do this?
Thanks Madhumann

clean scan report
What do you mean by this? What results are you looking for? List some of the results you would see in the report.
Are you saying you want to check the hd for problems?
Verify a disk
As an alternative, you can verify that the filesystem on the disk is correct. You will not be able to repair the file system.
I suggest that you use disk utility to verify that your startup disk is OK.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
Start up disk utility. On the left pane view, you will see a list of all your disks.
Click on your startup disk.
Click on the First Aid Tab.
Click on verify.
Hopefully your disk will verify. If not, you have to boot from your installation DVD and run Disk Utility from there to attempt to repair your file-system.

And I am not getting the way to catch the output of external process and pass it as parameter as another external process.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Trouble using Run Shell Script with python in Automator

Hi. I have a python script I want to run in Automator (update_puzzles.py). All it does is check, rearrange and update files and there is not supposed to be any input. I can get the script to run outside of Automator, in Terminal, by navigating to the right directory and typing "python update_puzzles.py"
I must not be setting up Run Shell Script correctly. I have it set to /bin/bash and Pass Input to stdin. The command line simply reads python /pathname/update_puzzles.py (where pathname is the path to the .py file, which I got by dragging the file onto the Run Shell Script command window). There are no actions before this in my workflow and the action after is View Results.
The log says Run Shell Script failed, and the error is "Traceback (most recent call last):"
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much.

If the script is expecting to do stuff with files in the same directory as the executable, you will probably need to add a statement to change to the appropriate working directory. The shell used in the Automator *Run Shell Script* action is a generic one that does not share any of the environment variables that the Terminal uses.

How to pass video file name to run shell script

Trying to make an automator script that will 1. Start a video capture, 2. Stop video capture, 3. Rename video, 4. Run Shell Script. Here is the shell script:
for f in "$@"
do
echo "$f"
/usr/bin/podcast --server my.podcast.server --user myself --pass mypass --submit --file $f --workflow "my workflow" --metadata /path/to/file
done
Question:
Do I need to create a variable in the automator script to pass it to the script? If I need the variable do I also need to use both Set Value of Variable and Get Value of Variable? If I don't need a variable does $f need quotes around them?

I'm not familiar with the terminal command /usr/bin/podcast so I don't know what it does but what i said is correct. to pass a file to this action you don't need any variables. the previous action in the workflow should output the video file you want to process, that's all. how you arrange that is up to you. it's clear that you have to fill in appropriate things in that shell script like " my workflow" and path to metadata. But if you have questions about how this shell action works you should ask people who made it.

Automator and "Run Shell Script" error

First, if I'm in the wrong place with this- sorry. Figured this was an OS kind-of thing.
I recently migrated to a new iMac ... I brought along an Automator script; I've been using it for years to perform a little rsync backup to an USB HDD. It's 'never' given me any problems ... until now!
"*Run Shell Script*" encountered an error .. but alas, the system log is devoid of messages ... and the verbose log I have running indicates that all the files are copied/backed-up ... I would love any input on this that might help me get back on the feet. .....
*Here's what my Shell Script Looks like:*
Shell Option: /bin/bash
Pass Input: to stdin
rm -dfr '/Volumes/Backup HD/*********'
rm -dfr '/Users/***********/Library/Logs/Profile_Backup.log'
rsync -rltv /Users/******** '/Volumes/Backup HD/' > /Users/*******/Library/Logs/Profile_Backup.log
(I'm sure there's way to only sync the changed stuff between backups ... but I've simply preferred the fresh copy approach).
*I do however note this in my logs when I open Automator:*
12/14/10 3:15:46 PM [0x0-0x42042].com.apple.automator.Backup[464] Application Stub: OpenScripting.framework - scripting addition "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" declares no loadable handlers.

@Tony T1
Thanks, I'll certainly adjust the log file as suggested
In troubleshooting the problem I went the terminal route - and issued each command ... during the rsync process I was getting an error ... turns out when it was syncing the SyncServices folder it was encountering a copy of the keychain ... which had root permissions - naturally rsync was not able to copy the file (personally I have no idea why the keychain would be being sync'd with anything)!
I removed the file from the sync ... I'm still doing some "debugging" to correct the problem-
Again, thanks for the assist!
