Passing Null Characters from Unix Shell Script to Java Program

Hi Experts,
Facing an issue with a shell script....
The shell script has 10 input parameters....
1st Parameter is a compiled Java program name(This can keep changing)
Rest 9 are the parameters of the Java Program...
The following piece of code is working when Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" is hardcoded.
lv_java_string=`java Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" ""`
The whole thing being dynamic.....
But when I dynamically populate the same on to a parameter lv_java_param and then execute the same
lv_java_string=`java $lv_java_param`
if i echo $lv_java_param its giving me Test "a z" "b t" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" "" correctly
Im facing some issue...... The issue is " is being treated as a parameter itself and the space between a and z is not taken into consideration and hence z is taken as the 2nd parameter
Issue seems to be something like the precedence in which the above statement is executed, because of which "s are calculated/manipulated. Is it something like
a) $lv_java_param is computed first and then java $lv_java_param
b) or java $lv_java_param is run on the fly......
Any help is much appreciated.

Running Unix Shell scripts through Java

How to run Unix shell scripts through Java program ?

Use:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sh script.sh");Then you can use:
p.getOutputStream and read the output of your program.

Is it possible to pass a variable from a shell script back to an Automator action?

Is it possible to pass a variable from a shell script back to an Automator action?
For instance, if I assign a value of foo to $var1 in my shell script how would I retrieve/pass that value in the next Automator action. I see that there is a variable called "Shell Script" but I can't any information on how to use it.

red_menace,
Thanks but I still don't understand how to pass a single value that was set in the UNIX scipt back to Automator has a variable. Take the example below, I write 4 varables to STDOUT and all 4 are stored in a variable named "storage". How do I assign 1 of these values to the Automator "storage" variable? For instance if I wanted to assign the value of $var2 to "storage" , how would I do that?

Calling a report from unix shell script

Hi,
I had to call a report from unix shell script.
May i know the procedure to accomplish this
Thanks in Advance
A.Gopal

First you should not include the whole path to your report in the call ...
Use like this:
/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/bin/rwrun.sh report=an_stati destype=file desname=/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/test.pdf desformat=pdf
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
1) Verify that you have updated the REPORTS_PATH variable to include your folder where you have the report in question
REPORTS_PATH=/ora/u20/app/qits/env1/run:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo: ....
2) Verify that the REPORTS_TMP variable is pointing to a valid location and that the oracle user has access to write on it.
After that, post the content of the tracefile located at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/logs/{in-process report server name folder}/rwserver.trc
If no file is present then it means that you need to enable trace in your reports's conf file.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf folder and and locate the .conf file that correspond to your in-process reports server name (as specified in the rwservelet.properties file)... open/edit the file to enable trace logs ..
i.e.
Change the following line:

to <trace traceOpts="trace_all"/>
Bounce the reports server and try to run the report again, this time the .trc file should be generated, post the content so that we can take a look.

Calling stored procedure from unix shell script

Hello,
I am facing a problem while calling a stored procedure from UNIX shell script. I want to return a output variable from the stored procedure to the UNIX environment.
Here is the code-
#!/bin/sh
OUTPUT=`sqlplus cmag/magnum@dw <<ENDOFSQL
set serveroutput on;
var prd_out varchar2(100);
exec create_pm_window(:prd_out);
exit;
ENDOFSQL`
echo " output is - $OUTPUT"
The problem is :prd_out is not getting copied to shell variable OUTPUT.
I have a dbms_output.put_line in the stored proc create_pm_window and I can see that prd_out is getting populated.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks'
Rakhee

First step :
make sure the PL/SQL works as expected.
Does the following display the expected output executed from SQL*Plus ?
set serverout on
declare
prd_out varchar2(100);
begin
create_pm_window(prd_out);
dbms_output.put_line('output is '||prd_out);
end;
I don't have your procedure, but using a dummy procedure like :
Scott@my10g SQL>create procedure foo(p_out in out varchar2)
2 is
3 begin
4 select 'Hello '||instance_name into p_out from v$instance;
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created. and a toto.sh script as :OUTPUT=`sqlplus -s scott/tiger <<EOF
set pages 0 lines 120 trimout on trimspool on tab off echo off verify off feed off serverout on
var mavar varchar2(100);
exec foo(:mavar);
print mavar;
exit;
EOF`
echo "OUT = ${OUTPUT}"
exitIt works fine :[oracle@Nicosa-oel ~]$ ./toto.sh
OUT = Hello my10g

Return codes from sqlldr command from unix shell script

I am trying to capture error code from sql loader from unix shell script and display proper messages.
sqlldr parfile=sdb.par control=$cntlfile data=$infile bad=$badFile log=$logFile rows=10000
rows=10000
retcode=`echo $?`
case "$retcode" in
0) echo "SQL*Loader execution successful" ;;
1) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_FAIL, see logfile" ;;
2) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_WARN, see logfile" ;;
3) echo "SQL*Loader execution encountered a fatal error" ;;
*) echo "unknown return code";;
esac
Eventhough, there are errors while executing sqlldr, it is always returing recode zero. What could be the possible reason
Please advice

Is there a typo in your code ?
sqlldr parfile=sdb.par control=$cntlfile data=$infile bad=$badFile log=$logFile rows=10000
rows=10000
retcode=`echo $?` In this code, you get the return code of the statement in bold which is not the sqlldr statement ...

Executing java from unix shell script

Sounds like you either have a corrupt class file or you're using an older version of the JVM to try to execute classe that were compiled for a newer version.

Execute stored procedure from Unix shell script

My current method of executing stored procedures (wpl_1 and wpl_2) from a unix shell script is as follows:
<<wpl.sh>>
sqlplus user/password @/home/oracle/scripts/wpl.sql
<<wpl.sql>>
set serveroutput on size 1000000
set timing on
execute wpl_1('0000010676','~')
execute wpl_2('0000010676','~')
execute wpl_1('0000010236','FIX')
execute wpl_2('0000010236','FIX')
exit

Parameter transfer to tmloadcf from Unix shell script.

Hi.
I am using Tuxedo global transaction with database password encryption, so I replaced by ***** the database password in OPENINFO string of the TMS in the UBBCONFIG GROUP section.
As a result the password should be inserted manually when running tmloadcf.
Do you know how this password can be inserted from a Unix shell scripts?
I tried to use << or named pipe (mkfifo) but in both cases the tmloadcf remained stuck.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Amnon Katz.

Amnon,
The C library function isatty() is used to determine if tmloadcf is
associated with a terminal. If isatty(0) returns 0, then the tmloadcf code
to prompt for a password will fail.
In some places in Tuxedo, there is functionality to allow reading a password
from an environment variable if the process requiring the password is not
associated with a terminal. However, this functionality is not available
for tmloadcf. If you have an active Tuxedo maintenance contract and the
functionalty of reading a database password from an environment variable
when tmloadcf is not run from a terminal is important to you, you may want
to file a support case and request that this functionality be added to
tmloadcf. Otherwise, you will have to run tmloadcf from a terminal.
Regards,
Ed

Thanks Ed for your reply.
Do you know how tmloadcf identify that descriptor 0 is associated with a
terminal?
Is it possible to write some code that can emulates this situation?

Running SQLPLUS from UNIX shell script

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but...
How can I execute a sql file from inside the UNIX shell script, logging on to Oracle w/o supplying a UID/pwd? Normally, we log into UNIX using our own logon, then sudo as another user to login to Oracle. Now, I'm trying to create a UNIX shell script, where I'm already sudo'd as the UserID that logs into Oracle. I've tried the following, but can't get it to work. I'm a UNIX scripting noob. Any ideas?
example:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
sqlplus / \@test.sql << EOF
exit;
EOF

I'm a UNIX scripting noob.In which case I feel obligated to point you at William Robertson's excellent article Database Shellscripts Considered Harmful. Save yourself a world of pain.

How to pass arguments to a Unix shell script from PL/SQL?

We want to run a Linux shell script from PL/SQL (10g). This is our code to run the script only and it works fine.
dbms_scheduler.create_job
          job_name=>'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
          job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',

          enabled=>TRUE,
          auto_drop=>FALSE
        );Now we have a requirement to pass 2 arguments to the .sh file. In the .sh file the 2 arguments are defined as $1 and $2.
I used this method.
dbms_scheduler.create_job
          job_name=>'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
          job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',

Pass in date from shell script to java program

Hi,
I need to pass in some parameter to my java program.
eg 'java SomeProgram yyyy mm dd hh mm ss'
How do i use the shell script to generate the valeus for the year, mth day etc?
The program is running once everyday.
I tried $argu0 = `date+%y`
java SomeProgram $argu0
but not working... thanks for your help!

Then, why would you want to use 'date' to provide
'now' to a Java program when you could just use new
java.util.Date() which probably makes the same call
as the Unix 'date' command?That works until you need to use a date other than 'now.'
    public static final String ISO_DATE = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = (SimpleDateFormat) SimpleDateFormat
                .getDateTimeInstance();
        sdf.applyPattern(ISO_DATE);
        try {
            Date d = sdf.parse(args[0]);
            // rest of code here
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            // handle exception
    }Users will have to enclose there input with quotes otherwise the JVM will consider their input as two parameters, or you can change the pattern to include a character between dd and HH.

Passing a parameter to a shell script through concurrent program

Hi All,
I am trying to pass a runtime parameter from oracle application to a shell script which inturn calls a sql script. The parameter iam passing has a space for example. iam passing something like "Customer 1" so how does the shell script interpret this parameter. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,

You may need to read the input parameters first, e.g.:
set file [lindex $argv 0]
Then: send "put $file\r"
There is a good example at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect
