Passing parameters into a shell script through alias Names ????

I have two alias names ord and dev. And the content of them are as follows.
alias ord
ord='cd ${ORDER}/bin; export APPL_NAME=order; . SetupAppl order'
alias dev
dev='cd ${APPL_ROOT}/bin; export APPL_ENV=dev; . SetupEnv dev'
Alias ord calls a shell script called SetupAppl. Alias dev calls a shell script called SetupEnv.
I am trying to pass a parameter when calling the alias name dev, something like dev WEST. And I
want to read that parameter inside the shell script SetupEnv.
The way I want to execute them, first run the alias ord and then the alias dev. But, when I try
to read the parameter in SetupEnv by $1 it is showing the value of the parameter passed to SetupAppl
ie order and not WEST.
Is there any way to read the value (WEST) passed as a parameter when executing the alias name.
example : dev WEST and reading the value WEST inside SetupEnv
The reason I am executing those scripts (SetupAppl and SetupEnv) with dot(.) in the front is because
those scripts have some export statements which needs to exported to the environment.
Any help on this is highly apprecaited

Hi everybody,
I posted same question earlier for UNIX/shell script and rec'd one response. Thanks to Bob.
But the requirement has been changed and now my mgr wants the same task using PL/SQL. Could somebody help me ?
Question again....
I am working on a task which gets report on every remote database.
I created a small database: ‘REPORTS_DB’ and I created 6 'sql' scripts on that database. While executing the first script, it calls the other 5 different 'sql' scripts. All these 5 sql scripts use a '@db_link' (hard coded) and gets that database's report to the database: REPORT_DB.
It is working well. But,
We have 42 databases and I have to get reports of all the 42 databases. Since it is not efficient to create 42 sets of sql scripts, I want to make it automated.
I know (but I don't know HOW) I can pass a parameter (database link name) while running the first script (which calls the other 5 scripts), so that the parameter replaces the @db_link in all the 5 scripts and gets the report of the related (@db_link) database.
Could somebody tell me how to do this task using SQL and PL/SQL ?
OR
send me a sample PL/SQL script to do this task?
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks in advance.

Executing shell script through PL/SQL

Hi,
I need some help regarding execution of shell script through Oracle PL/SQL.
I have a shell script present in /abc/xyz folder with name search.sh , Through a PL/SQL procedure I am creating a file to store the report data.
I want to execute /abc/xyz/search.sh from the PL/SQL procedure to delete all files created before 3 mins .
1.     At first I took Java route and got following permissions granted for RECON user.
GRANT USER SYS java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute ENABLED 351
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission readFileDescriptor * ENABLED 350
GRANT USER SYS java.lang.RuntimePermission writeFileDescriptor * ENABLED 349
2.     Then I created a simple java class for execution of OS command as below
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "OSCommand" AS
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
int ext=proc.waitFor();
return ("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
3.     And a wrapper function as below to use this class
create or replace
FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
4.     In my PL/SQL proceedure I am using following code to execute the command
v_Return := OSCommand_Run('/abc/xyz/search.sh');
to execute the shell script.
Proceedure executes without any error and generates a new csv file with report data , however shell script does not get executed and hence all csv files created earlier remain as it is in the folder.
Please help.

What happens if you remove the catch exception block from your java command?
I asume you still might have a permission issue. But it could be hidden from you, because of the exception is catched and printed into nirvana.Executed the wrapper function OSCOMMAND_RUN as below
DECLARE
v_Return VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
v_Return := OSCOMMAND_RUN('/recon/html/invoice/search.sh' );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('v_Return = ' || v_Return);
END;
And following is the result
v_Return = 0
Process exited.
In case of exception it would had printed the exception.
One more thing I noticed, even though I have taken following permissions
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/*     execute     ENABLED     347
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     /abc/xyz/*     execute     ENABLED     351
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.io.FilePermission     <<ALL FILES>>      execute     ENABLED     352
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     readFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     350
GRANT     RECON     SYS     java.lang.RuntimePermission     writeFileDescriptor     *     ENABLED     349
When I create a new search.sh in /abc dir I get following error
v_Return = the Permission (java.io.FilePermission /abc/search.sh execute) has not been granted to RECON. The PL/SQL to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'RECON', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '/abc/search.sh', 'execute' )

Running a shell script through java

Hi all,
I have a simple question here.
How can I run a shell script through java and put the text output into a string.
I'd be very grateful if you could show me sample code...
Have a great day,
Pesho

Runtime.exec()
There are plenty of examples. Read the following before continuing, however, as it will save alot of headaches:

Running Shell scripts through JAva

Hi,
I tried to execute a Shell script through a Java program.
The code I used is as below:
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;
public class sys {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = { "chgpasswd" };
try {
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
child.waitFor();
System.out.println("Process exit code is: " + child.exitValue());
catch(IOException e) {
System.err.println( "IOException starting process!");
catch(InterruptedException e) {
System.err.println( "Interrupted waiting for process!");
The "chgpasswd" shell script calls the "passwd" command of Unix.
It threw out an IO exception.
Then I gave the parameter as "./chgpasswd". It now gave an exit value of 255.
The "chgpasswd" script exists in the same directory as the .class file.
I checkd up the exit code reference...it says exit value of 255 could mean as exit code out of range........an exit code > 255....which unfortunately has no documentation, I guess.
Can you help ?

This is on a Unix platform, correct? Assuming so...
If I remember correctly, exit codes can be greater than 255. To get the real exit code equates to something like: exitcode & 512 to obtain the real exit code.
Make sure "chgpasswd" shell script has the execute permissions set. Additionally, make sure that the first line of the script (the magic line) has the appropriate shell/interpreter to execute specified. For example, if "chgpasswd" were a Bourne (sh) script, the first like would be:
#!/bin/shFor perl, it may be something like:
#!/usr/bin/perlIt needs to be the absolute path to the shell/interpreter is the point.

Why I can't pass parameters into CR from VB6

I want to Pass parameters into crystal report from VB6.
But whatever I try, it don't work Fine,
always Show the message "This field name is not known".
Crystal Report::
Parameter: a.@cmpy;
                   b.@p1
formula:
a. If {?@cmpy} ="USA" or {?@cmpy} ="usa" then
      "This is test 1 sentences"
   else if {?@cmpy}="TWD" or {?@cmpy} = "twd" then
      "This is test 2 sentences"
b. if trim({?@p1})="1" then "This is test 3 sentences"
VB::
Public oApp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Public oRpt As CRAXDDRT.Report
oRpt.ParameterFields(1).ClearCurrentValueAndRange
oRpt.ParameterFields(2).ClearCurrentValueAndRange
oRpt.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue ("TWD")
oRpt.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue ("1")
I had trid to use "IsCurrentValueSet" function to check whether parameter was set or not, and It responsed "Ture",so I so confused about it.
Anyone know about this??
ps. I had trid other way that change the formula indirectly, although it can work fine, but it isn't a right way to solve my problem.
Edited by: DeanLai on Jun 22, 2010 8:54 AM

I Find something.
First I tried to add parameter and wanted to see these value on Report.
So I inserted {?@cmpy} and {?@p1} into report, and used VB code
"oRpt.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue ("TWD")" and "oRpt.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue ("1")",
then ran the process, but it didn't display any value on report,
so why it couldn't pass value into parameter??
then I tried other way which was to add new parameter, and used the same way to pass
value into parameter, then it can display value on report.
So the different between these is {?@cmpy} and {?@p1} which come from
Stores Procedure.
While I set Database in crystal report, set all value into Store Procedure's
parameter(the window about "Enter Parameter Values"), then it automatic come out the DB columns and parameter(SP parameter)
, course include {?@cmpy} and {?@p1}.
Do this problem cause my question?
Can we pass value into parameter which come from SP parameter??
Can we use these parameter into forumla??

Passing parameters into an URL Services portlet

Hi,
is there any way to pass parameters into an URL Services portlet ? I want to give the user the ability to set a preference for which sections of an XML file should be displayed. The preference should be passed into the XMLFilter which should add these parameters as XSLT variables to the stylesheet. Is this possible ?
Cheers,
Ernst

As of now we do not have provision to pass parameters to the portlet dynamically. However, if required, at most could be used is headerTrim tag and footerTrim tag. If you want to discard some data from mid of the file, its not supported.

SQL-Scripts into a Shell script

Hi!
After creating the database on a Linux machine, we need to create our Schema in that database.This Schema has many objects(tables, views,
procs, triggers etc.). So executing each individual script would not be sensible. Is it possible to pack all sql scripts into one shell script and run that one?
Thanks for your feedback/examples/links!

If it's one-off task, why not put all of them in a SQL file and run it from SQL* Plus rather than using shell to cause sql plus which will in turn have to call the script?
If it's a recurring task and you insist that you want to do it from Unix shell, you can do something like this:
Place all scripts in a single file and put it under $HOME for ex. (save it as run_all_scripts.sql)
Then write a shell script something like this:
#!/bin/ksh
connect_schema=scott/tiger
sqlplus -s $connect_schema <<EOF
@$HOME/run_all_scripts.sql
EOF

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

For a start, assignments in the Bourne shell take the form ofinfile = $inputFilename;orinfile = "inputFilename";not what you've got; and the first form would only work if you've set the appropriate environment variables.
Are you sure you're not confusing this with a Javascript script?

BTW2: 'printf "%d", inpath' also looks very dodgy, since 'inpath' is unlikely to be a number (in fact, it's unlikely to be anything).

Passing mulitple parameters to unix shell script via File adapter

Hi,
I have the following usecase.
I have a set of files A, B, C, D etc in a directory dir. I also have a EOT ( end of transaction file).
I need to merge this file once the EOT file is present in XI application server ( using NFS with File adpter).
I have a script which can take the following paramters:
1. EOT file name
2. File names for A,B,C,D
3. Directory names.
Is it possible to send muliple parameters to the unix script from the File adapter?
please share any blogs which do so.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
Abhishek

Hi,
You can always call script from file adapter using "OS command" functionality, pass additional parameter like you do in unix for existing script (exact command which you type on unix prompt).
Adapter will simply pass your OS command to operating system, so from XI point of view nothing is changed and it is your script which should take care of parameters.

Passing long string to shell script from java

I am trying to passa a long string to a shell process through java,
call is like
Runtime rtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
String callAndArgs[] = {"/apps/jetty4/jstest/jstest.sh",jarCo,queue,text};
Process child = rtime.exec(callAndArgs);
here the string text is :

Now i use this string in shell script to pass as an argument to other class. But the string gets truncated.
How do i solve this?

It appears that your os is truncating the data - Java's not involved.
Maybe write the data to a file and then read it into the external program some way.
