Problem in running MS DOS command in ODI

Hi,
I am trying to execute the following command through ODI-
cmd /c dir E:\Files\LLP_AFS\*.txt /b /a:-d > E:\Files\LLP_AFS\Filenames_llp_afs.txt
But it is giving me error.I have tried several ways e.g. OSCommand,ODI procedure but no luck.
I have executed this command on MS DOS prompt and it executed successfully.So, it should not be a syntax error.
I am using ODI 11g 1.1.3 and windows 7 as operating system.
Regards,
Rashmik

How are you executing this ?
Use OdiOsCommand. its should work. You can also use OsCommand tool. If nothing works create a batch file and execute it using OsCommand tool
C:\myfolder\myfile.bat

How can I run a dos command from java on windows 98, 95?

The usage of cmd.exe in the java program to run a dos command on windows 98. 95 doesn't work as the equivalent command is command.exe
But using the command.exe in the java program makes my program to hang.

hi,
As u mentioned, u cannot use the cmd.exe in win9x environment as cmd.exe is specific to windows NT, you can use the command.exe without any hitches.
for eg
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start command /K a.bat"); should run the batch file a.bat..
if the problem persists, try posting the snippet of code that you are using.

Running MS-DOS commands using Runtime.exec()

Is there any way to run the dos commands like copy and del from our java program? Actually I want to implement a visual console kind of thing and have to transfer the commands to the prompt and get the result string that is to be displayed in a JTextArea?
Please help me. It'll be very nice of you...thanks

I can help you in two ways:
o by telling you to run cmd.exe and pass the rest as parameters.
o by pointing out this is the wrong forum for you equestion.

Run multiple unix commands from ODI procedure

I want to run a series of unix commands from ODI procedure. I dont want to use Unix shell scripts. (I know that works).I am just trying to place the contents of the shell scripts in ODI procedure with Operating system as technology. But I am unable to execute the proecedure.
For example below is a very small 3 line commands I would execute
filename="/var/test.txt"
ls -l $filename > /var/anotherfile.txt
chmod 777 $filename
I am not sure if there is any specific syntax that I have to follow for executing unix commands. Also I dont want to write a Jython and use os.system command as well.
Appreciate any help on this

First your original question... You can put more than one DOS command on a single line, simply separate each command with an ampersand (&). For example:
mkdir c:\abc & cd abc & dir*
Regarding your concerns about performance, well that would depend on exactly what you mean. Using CLIENT_HOST (or HOST on the server) simply opens a shell (DOS in this case) then passes your command to it. The performance of performing this action really isn't measurable. Basically you are just pressing a button and you should get a near immediate action. As for the performance of executing each command, that has nothing to do with Forms. Once the command is passed to the shell, the rest is a function of the shell and whatever command you passed.
Having said that, if you were to write something sloppy like a loop (in pl/sql) which called CLIENT_HOST lots of times repeatedly, then yes there would be a performance problem because the pushing of the button will cause an exchange to and from the server and each cycle in the loop will do the same.
So the answer to how performance is impacted will depend on what exactly you need to accomplish. If it is a single call to CLIENT_HOST, this should be fine.

How to run multiple DOS commands from a single Webutil Client_Host session?

Hello all,
I have a requirement where I need to create an interface with SVN from Forms for basic checkin-checkout of files.
So, I've been trying to use webutil client_host to open a command line session and issue svn commands.
For svn, sometimes I need to give multiple commands like change to a particular directory and then run an svn command.
But client_host takes in only one command at a time and I'm unable to issue a series of DOS commands to perform
a particular task.
Is there a way to do this?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

Running a dos command

Hi guys,
I've created a prog that runs as a server and you can telnet into and give it commands to execute programs on the remote computer. All using runtime.exec().
Just wondering if anyone knows how i can send a dos command to it such as COPY \\192.168.1.2\temp \\192.168.1.3\temp.
If i use "cmd.exe /c start cmd.exe" then it opens the window its just i cant remember how to send the dos command to it, as i actually wrote the program several months ago.
Cheers for any help
Andy

One way is to put the dos commands inside a batch file and 'exe' the batch file. Not sure if you also mean you don't want to see the new dos window ( use min to minimize that new window for that ), or not.

Running a DOS Command through a JAVA GUI

I'm trying to run a command line through a GUI.. how would i go about doing this... suppose i wanted to run the following dos command inside a java program:
String command = "jar cvf classes.jar open.java close.java"
Does anyone have a good model I can look at that can implement a dos command?

Maybe you can refer to this resource , I can not remember the Class, It seems like this Runtime.getRuntime().exec() ?? It can execute your command.

Running a dos command from a java application

hello,
I'm trying to execute a batch file from a java application. I tried with:
try
Process proc=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("fop -fo "+iXmlFoFile+" -
svg "+SvgFileName);
}catch (IOException e){System.err.println("Error in conversion of
the Xml FO file into Svg file: "+e);}
and with:
try
Process proc=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd ./c fop
-fo "+iXmlFoFile+" -svg "+SvgFileName);
}catch (IOException e){System.err.println("Error in conversion of
the Xml FO file into Svg file: "+e);}
but i have a IOException: CreateProcess: .... error=2
When I try these line to launch a .exe file it works but not with a .bat file.
I also tried:
String execstr = "fop -fo "+iXmlFoFile+" -svg "+SvgFileName;
String [] commandArray = { execstr };
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandArray);
} // end try
catch ( Exception e ) {
System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
e.printStackTrace();
}// end catch
but i got the same exception in java.lang.Win32Process.create
What did i do wrong?

Your execution string is a bit more that I want to figure out, but here are a couple ideas:
Is the working directory of any importance? If so you'll need to set that when you do your exec()
I think I remember reading something about batch files that couldn't be kicked off via this method. Perhaps you need to execute the string "start mybatchfile.bat". Seems like you need to do something like that to get a command interpreter to run your batch file.

Problems to execute "cd" DOS command from Java program

Anyone try to exec command "cd.." or "cd directory", it doesn't have any action. No exceptions, just don't do anything.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cd\\");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cd hello");
However, when I try the following, it is working fine. Any ideas???
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("javac Test1.java");

That's because cd is built into the command
interpreter in Windows. Runtime.getRuntime().exec()
can only be used to launch external programs. This
article should get you going:And that's not the only reason why you can't do this.
When you do
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cd c:\\");
(or, heck, "cmd /c cd c:\\"): the new command that you spawn will cd to the destination specified, and then exit. The parent process (your java program, that is launching this command) won't go anywhere - the "cd" doesn't affect it.
The only way to change your OS directory in Java is to invoke native code. And even then, the effects are undefined (in terms of how your CLASSPATH will be affected, etc.).

Error while running DOS command in Java

Hi all,
I use "runtime" class to execute a DOS command "copy C:\\pathname\\*.* C:\\backupPathname\\". But I saw an error msg "CreateProcess: copy C:\pathname\*.* C:\backupPathname\ error=2".
I did create a folder C:\backupPathname\ before running the DOS command.
Pls help me all Java genius.

I ended up writing a small 'c' program and pasing the command in to it from java. The problem seems to be that in dos, unlike unix, the copy command is not a program, rather the command is interpreted by the command.com program.

Doesn't it get very old, same question about running dos command?

To everyone who is tooo lazy to search.
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("progname arg1 arg2");
What a wast of everyone's time responding to the same question on how to run a dos command.

I think you'll find it's
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"progname", "arg1", "arg2"});
