How to spool file to where start script file located

I'm writing a sqlplus script, eg. runMe.sql, which is going to run in customer env, will generate some data files eg. result.csv.
By specify location such as 'spool /certain/path/on/disk/result.csv', I can spool to any path I want. However, my concern is below:
1. We gets many customers and the script might be run under different location.
2. I don't know where customer would save the script, furthermore, I don't want customer to input location manually every time.
3. Generally, customer would run the script something like "sqlplus username/password@sid @/certain/path/on/disk/runMe.sql". They don't want to pass any parameter at run time.
4. I wanna spool file to "/certain/path/on/disk" automatically, as a result, result.csv file would appear under same path with runMe.sql.
5. I tried "spool ./result.csv" but it navigate to where sqlplus session is running.
6. Also tried &0 etc, but make no sense.
Can anyone tell me how to obtain start running script file path in sqlplus script(runMe.sql) ? Just like access command parameters under Linux.
$0 is the name of the command
$1 first parameter
$2 second parameter
$3 third parameter etc. etc
$# total number of parameters
$@ all the parameters will be listed
Thanks in advance.

Are you looking for SQLPATH ?
A good and clear example by Paul @ https://forums.oracle.com/message/3727891
In this way your customer has to set one environment variable SQLPATH=/location/of/script/file/where/they/put/your/runMe.sql and just say :
spool %sqlpath%\result.csv
in your runMe.sql. So, runMe.sql and result.csv will be on SQLPATH location.

Password not to be a command line parameter within scripts

Hi,
We have a few batch programs wherein the database passwords are stored as a command line parameter in an environment variable script.
But the customer wants to avoid this.
What are the options of storing password externally but which should be accessible to the batch programs.
Please advise.

Narayan

Might solution depend upon OS name & version?
Might solution depend upon Oracle version (to 4 decimal places)?
Might solution depend upon where script file resides on DB Server or remote client system?
Yes, options exist, but I refuse to speculate based upon total & complete lack necessary details.
How do I ask a question on the forums?

Running script file from VB

Hi,
Is there any shell command or exe to run oracle script file from VB?
thanx

You should be able to call WinExec() (Windows API) there are bound to be MS KB articles that cover this. Create a small CMD file that you pass a parameter to with the SQL Script name and then exec that.

Script file for test automation.

I have a file “HPE3631A configure output.vi” (DC power supply). This file I downloaded from NI web for using control our DC power supply. I would like to use a script file that can automatically process and configure the output voltage, current parameter? I do not have to click mouse for change the voltage and current parameter. We would like use this script file as one of our test automation.
What format file can use as a script? Is any example file I can use as a reference (it does not have to be HPE3631A).

I don't have an example. You are free to create a script file in any format that you want. To give you a little help, say you have a comma separated file. The first field could be instrument address. The second field could be a function. This might be Initialize, Configure Voltage,Configure Trigger, etc. The following fields could be parameters that you pass. Some functions would require more parameters than others. Look at the number of functions in the driver and see if you want to duplicate them and how many parameters they require or whether you want to break some of them down into something smaller. When you've decided that, then you can determine how to read the file and parse out the commands. Do you want to do error checking here or someplace else? What I mean is, what if the file contains the word "Initilize" instead of "Initialize". What if a voltage parameter is out of bounds?
Like I mentioned, you could have a LabVIEW VI generate the script. Imagine a front panel text ring in which you have listed all of the various functions. If function b is selected, have logic that displays the correct number (and type) of other parameters required. When the selection is complete, click an OK button to display the new step in a table. A table is nothing more than a 2D string array so saving it to a file is then simple.

How to "commit" only certain lines of code in the script file?

Hi there,
Is there a way to execute only certain lines of code in the script file without executing all the code in it. Wihtout using the comment syntax.
e.g: there are lines to create views and in the next set of line there are lines to create procedures. I only want to execute the lines that create views.

another workaround is to create a procedure that accepts parameters. such that the parameter will be the basis for what objects in your conditions that it should met to perform the operations that conform with your business rules. an example is given below.
create or replace procedure create_object(pObjectType varchar2) as
begin
    if pObjectType = 'VIEW' then
    elsif pObjectType = 'PROCEDURE' then
    else
    end if;
end;

Error unable to open script file

How to Print Post Script Files

Hi All,
I am trying to make a utility software in foxpro that could print post script file on:-
1) Post script printer
2) Non Post Script printer
Operating System Windows 95 & above
Help is requested from all the community members
Reagards
Harsh

PostScript printer - send it to the printer port e.g. LPT1: with a simple copy.
Non-PostScript printer - you'll need to buy a PostScript RIP, or perhaps use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PostScript to PDF, then print the PDF with Acrobat's API - see the Acrobat SDK. (This is not possible with the free Reader).

How can you detect (from a script file) that javac found problems?

The subject line says it all, but the background is:
I have a script file (.bat, since am stuck on windoze for the moment) which is doing some compilation using javac.
I would like to skip all subsequent activities in the script file after the call to javac if any file failed to compile.
So, what can I use as a signal from javac that it found a problem?
I initially tried detecting an exit code from javac that was non zero, but javac does not seem to emit such an exit coe when it objects to a file (it still returns with 0 as an exit code).
The only remaining strategy that I can think of is to pipe javac's output to a file, and if there is any content in it then assume that it indicates an error and use that as a signal.
This is suboptimal because it will give false signals for mere warnings, so if anyone has a better suggestion, please post

You are right: it appears that javac does exit with an exit code of 1 if an error is detected in one of the files being compiled, at least on the windows jdk.
To prove this, create an arbitrary java source file called HelloWorld.java, and create a msdos .bat file in the same directory that looks like
@echo on
javac -Xlint:deprecation HelloWorld.java
:handleError
@if not errorlevel 1 goto finalActions
@echo ERROR DETECTED: compile.bat will TERMINATE PREMATURELY
:finalActions
@echo compile.bat now terminatedBy playing around with what you put in the source file (totally clean code, stuff that should compile but issue a warning, and garbage that should not compile) as well as with the exit code value detected by the .bat file, for instance trying
@if not errorlevel 2 goto finalActions(see http://www.robvanderwoude.com/errorlevel.html if you need some documentation on error codes in dos bat files), I have determined the following as javac's behavior on windows:
If code is pristine, exit code = 0.
If code causes javac to emit a warning but is compilable, exit code = 0.
If code cannot be compiled, exit code = 1.

Intermittent : The term 'get-date' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

I have developed a batch harness whereby all scheduled tasks (W2012) invoke a common powershell script that acts as a wrapper to all our housekeeping jobs.
The first step in the wrapper is to create a Transcript file using following code
if ($Host.name -ne "Windows PowerShell ISE Host") # Transcript does not work within ISE
$timestamp = (get-date -format "yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss.fff")
$path = "c:\corp\$timestamp" + "_$pid.txt"
Start-Transcript -path $path -append
As expected the folder contains files with timestamp & pid in name

How can I run a SQL script file...

How can I run a SQL script file from a location on my computer without providing the whole path?
Is there some way I can set a "Working folder" in SQL Plus??
Thanks!
Tom

You can create an environment variable called "SQLPATH" which is a list of directories that SQL*Plus will search for your .SQL
scripts.
I would like to use another directory than the oracle/bin...
How can I do this ??
Hello,
U can do this by this way:
Save odm_script.sql file to the default Oracle
directory i.e. Oracle-Home/bin and Run following command
through SQL Plus.
SQL>@Script_Name
I hope this will resolve ur problem.

How can I see the current script file name in Vision Builder

I would like to not have to remember which script file I have open. Is that displayed somewhere?

Brian,
I have been looking over Vision Builder 6.1, and from what I can tell, the name of the file that you are working on is not displayed on the screen, and there does not appear to be a way to get it to display there.
This seems like a very worthwhile feature to add, and I definitely agree that it would be useful. You may want to consider filing a Product Suggestion by using the Product Suggestion Center (PSC) that is linked below:

The PSC links directly into our R&D group's suggestion database, and any suggestions entered would be reviewed by the R&D team.

how can I put date at the end of filename like
initWEBDB8jan06.ora and cf_longterm8jan06.cpy
Thanks in advance
Lionel

ASM is reliable but a smart DBA is very careful. If ASM is doing mirroring this is like RAID doing mirroring. What happens if you accidentally delete one copy ... the other one disappears instantly. Not a good idea.
With respect to redo logs you need a minimum of three groups, two members, and one thread per instance. So a 2 node cluster should, at a minimum have 12 physical files.
Not mirroring the redo logs, assuming multiple members, is not as critical.
