Problem with the run_job,shell script with sqlldr

Hi Gurus,
I Created a job which calls the shell script and i understood from the other posting this job is going to execute with nobody,
I had done the below testing
Test 1) Shell script calls the SQL file, this SQL file executes the procedure.
Test 2) Shell script calls the sqlldr command.
When i execute the Test cases with , dbms_scheduler Run_job procedure, Test1 is success but Test2 was failed
When i execute the Test cases with, logging into box with owner of the shell & both test cases are successful.
Parent folder & Shell files are given with 777 permissions. & the Oracle db is version 10.2.0.1.0.
Error:
STANDARD_ERROR="SQL*Loader-522: lfiopn failed for file (*.log)"
Please provide me your inputs its bit urgent Thanks a lot for your help.

First of all let's look at your environment ... a totally unpatched version of software that is so old it is in desupport mode. You should upgrade to a fully supported version but, if you can't, at least to 10.2.0.5.
That said without seeing any of your code, or a listing showing permissions on the directory and files, there is insufficient information from which to help you.
Please post ALL information required for us to understand what you are doing an your environment.
But before I decided that NOBODY was doing anything ... I'd shell out to the server from SQL*Plus using the HOST command and verify that permissions are as you believe them to be. There is every reason to believe SQL*Loader is having an issue with your file as identified.

Please help with executing the c-shell script by using the exe class

I try to use the exec class to execute a c-shell script in my java gui program like this. But I don't get anything when clicking on the start button.
here is my code:
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec("./DDMReportEvents");
./DDMReportEvents is the name of the c-shell script.

I think Runtime.exec runs DOS batch files, but not Unix shell scripts.
Try:
r.exec("csh -c ./DDMReportEvents");
to get the shell to run the shell script.

Problem with sqlldr and commit

Hi,
i have a problem with sqlldr and commit.
I have a simple table with one colum [ col_id number(6) not null ]. The column "col_id" is primary key in the table. I have one file with 100.000 records ( number from 0 to 99.999 ).
I want load the file in the table with sqlldr ( sql*loader ) but i want commit only if all records are loaded. If one record is discarded i want discarded all record of file.
The proble is that in coventional path the commit is on 64 row but if i want the same records of file isn't possible and in direct path sqlldr disable primary key :(
There are a solutions?
Thanks

Terminal starts the last shell script

Hello,
I have problem with Terminal. It should start with normal shell prompt, but in my case it starts with the script I called the last time.
How it happened: I have created shell script called "logintoserver.sh", there is just "#!/bin/bash; ssh -Y -l someuser someserver". I have a link to this script on my desktop, so I can easily pop up a terminal session to my remote server.
OK, this works, but when I call application Terminal directly then, from Finder/Applications/Utilities/Terminal, it starts that "logintoserver" script again. Now I cannot get my local shell prompt. I can only follow login script and then ssh to my emac back from that remote server, but it's not that nice, you see...
I changed shell in Terminal preferences, no help. I believe there is some option "execute last command at the beginning of new session", but I can't find and disable it. When I delete this "logintoserver" script, all works OK. But I like to have one click login window.
Thanks for any kick,
David

Hi Tim,
thanks for your helpful info. Two questions:
when I login to my remote server (Tiger Server) via SSH, the command line on my laptop changes to reflect the server name Im logging into.
1. Laptop named "jimmydeuce" logs into 'margaritaserver' a Tiger Server via SSH
2. laptop closes SSH session to server
2. laptop now launches Terminal
3. laptop now sees prompt line restated as: margaritaserver:~ username$
how to get back to normal prompt: jimmydeuce:~ username$ ???
Cheers,

Problem-Report generation using shell script

Hi
We have the Production database and the Reporting database (copy of Production database),
both on Oracle 9.2.0.5 and Solaris 5.8. There is a package inside the Oracle database, which extracts some data from inside the
database, and would generate a report. A shell script has been created in Solaris which would
send in the parameters and call the pakage to generate the report. The parameters it is sending is
the name of report to be generated, and the location where it is to be generated, both hard-coded into
the script. The script is scheduled to run through crontab.
The problem we are facing is that, if we run the script for Reporting database, it successfully
generates the report. But if we use that script for Production database, it gives the error
"Invalid directory Path". I have tried using various other directory paths, even '/tmp'
and '/', but it still gives the same error when executed for Production dataabse.
Could somebody provide any ideas what might be going wrong.
The reasons it is to be executed on Prod db and not the Reporting database are unavoidable.
It anyway runs in off business hours and takes about 10secs to execute.
Please do let me know if there is any other info that I missed to provide here.
Thanks in advance...

I will be just guessing because you didn't provide contents of script and package.
The "Invalid directory path" as you said could be ORA-29280 due non existent directory.
Try execute (as sys or system) select * from dba_directories; (or select * from all_directories; as user which the script is login to) on both databases and compare the results. If there is missing your important directory then create it using create directory <dirname>; (from sqlplus and don't forget to grant rights for user).
This error could come from shell script. In that case you should find resolution yourself because you didn't provide script source.

Fle import the unix shell script

hi all
I want to develop unix shell script & cron job to read ftp file and call an oracle procedure to import the data in an oracle database
can any one tell me how to go about it ?
also does any one have some documentation related to the topic
plzzz help me
mandar

Hi,
I want to develop unix shell script & cron job to read ftp file and call
an oracle procedure to import the data in an oracle databaseYou can
1/ use ftp to get the file to Oracle Instance host then call a Proc/Package that'll parse the file.
2/ write/find on google a FTP package using UTL_TCP then create a procedure using the package to open the ftp file and parse it.
You don't give much details on what the actual aim is, si I can't be more specific.
can any one tell me how to go about it ?There might be other possibilities, describe what you want to achieve globally and we'll give you more advices.
also does any one have some documentation related to the topicTahiti: http://tahiti.oracle.com

Little problem with SQLLDR

Hi,
I've got great help here in the past so I thought this would be the right place to try and find the solution to my problem loading data using SQLLDR into an oracle database.
Basically, upon loading I am using a to_date function. However, the parameters this to_date function must take depends on the data I'm trying to load (there are only two possible date formats I'm trying to load). Is there any way of using two to_date functions inside a conditional statement (if statement etc.).
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Dan

Looking at what you posted, i think you may have some issues with the quoting.
to_date(:DATE_FIELD,''DD-MM-YYYY'))"
{code}
You have a double quote before the DD there.

Problems with SQLLDR

Getting this error when I try inserting records into a table using SQL*LOADER.
Anybody have any clue?
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table ITEMMAST, column FREIGHT_CLASS.
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)
TIA

Hello Aleksei
Posbl err is with the data with Ur data file.
check the No. of columns in the Actual Table
& check whether U have same No. of columns of data in Ur data file.
For eq:
If U have 4 columns in the Table,
then Ur data file's data must be like this->
xxx,xx,xxx,xxx
If U dont have data for say II col, then Ur data file will be like this->
xxx,,xxx,xxx
all the best

Problems with sqlldr, creating .ctl file

Hi I am trying to load data from a .csv file into an oracle table. I have been successful with loading some .csv files but at this point I am stuck in loading one .csv file that creates incorrect rows.
The .csv file has rows commencing on a newline, with columns seperated by the delimiter ','. Unfortunately some values in the .csv file contain newline characters leaving blank lines in the .csv file then continuing on with a row on the next line. e.g.
"foo", "foofoo", "foofoo", "lalalala
lallalallala", "foo", "foo"
Does anyone know what is missing from my .ctl file below so that it accurately reads in the correct values. Also delimiters ',' are present inside values e.g. "foo, foo". Does the optionally enclosed by statement below ingore those cases which I want it to?
OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA
BADFILE 'import.bad'
APPEND
INTO TABLE tablename
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," optionally enclosed by '"'
--columns
Thanks

Can you get the data supplied to you without the newline characters in the strings? It would make it a lot easier.Unfortunately not as this is an assignment. I also tried the method of converting to a tab csv and adjusting the .ctl file respectively with the same result. Some records are perfect but others are not and I can not for the life of me pinpoint why. I am new to this and I can just tell like you guys have assured me of that newlines contained in values are ugly. But regardless im open to suggets if anyone has any.
Thank you greatly for your help too, its always appreciated.

Debug a shell script with awk problem

Hi, Buddy,
I try to run the below shell script which was borrowed from linux for load average check.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# Set threshold for 1, 5 and 15 minture load avarage
# configured for 12-processors system
max_1=48
max_5=36
max_15=24
# Set the string which appears before the load average in the uptime command
load_text='load average: '
#Email list
mail_to=[email protected]'
alert=n
up=`uptime`
# Parse out the current load average from the uptime command
load_1=`echo $up | awk -F "$load_text" '{ print $2 }' | cut -d, -f1 | cut -d. -f1`
load_5=`echo $up | awk -F "$load_text" '{ print $2 }' | cut -d, -f2 | cut -d. -f1`
load_15=`echo $up | awk -F "$load_text" '{ print $2 }' | cut -d, -f3 | cut -d. -f1`
# Set alert=y if any of the average are above their thresholds
if [ $load_1 -ge $max_1 ]
then
alert=y
elif [ $load_5 -ge $max_5 ]
then
alert=y
elif [ $load_15 -ge $max_15 ]
then
alert=y
fi
# Send mail if the alert threshold was reached
if [ ! $alert = n ]
then mail -s "High load on `hostname`" $mail_to < `uptime`
fi
Now we run it in Solaris now, so when I run, can get error like
$./monitor_load_average.sh
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: bailing out near line 1
./monitor_load_average.sh[28]: test: argument expected
./monitor_load_average.sh[31]: test: argument expected
./monitor_load_average.sh[34]: test: argument expected
I understand the problem, but stil a little difficult to edit awk clause to get right syntax, is there any buddy can help?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Jerry

I don't have access to Solaris right now,but if i understand the [manpage |http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?awk+1] correct , you can use only a character as field separator (-F), try to use /usr/xpg4/bin/awk instead, it is posix compliant version and should be mostly compatible to linux gawk.
Besides that, you may probably find better support on unix/solaris forums with similar questions?
Best regards

Problem with backtick replacing apostroph in applescript/shell script

I've got a script that appears to be using a backtick instead of an apostrophe which is causing an error in my shell script. For the life of me I can't seem to find where the error is being generated?
The script is attached below. I'm using Exiftool, an app that writes metadata to image files. The shell script
set cmd to "exiftool -CopyrightNotice=" & exifCopyright & " " & thisFilePath & ""
set theResult to do shell script cmd
works fine but the following shell script
set cmd to "exiftool" & space & authorStr & " " & thisFilePath & ""
set theResult to do shell script cmd
returns the error "sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file" number 2. The code in the event log in applescript editor looks exactly the same to me but one fails in the shell script.
It has been suggested by the developer of Exiftool, Phil Harvey, that there is a backtick in the second shell script. I read somewhere in the applescript docs that this is due to a change in OS 10.6? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks.
Pedro

Yea, the authorStr value has a space like "Joe Smith"
Then you need to use quoted form of this string, too:
set cmd to "exiftool " & quoted form of authorStr & space & thisFilePath
although the format looks wrong to me - shouldn't there be some kind of switch, such as "-author=' before it?
You have to consider how you'd enter this at the command line to work out how best to translate it to AppleScript. For example, if the command line version were:
exiftool -author='John Doe' /path/to/some.jpg
you can see the quotes are around the name, not the entire -author switch. In this case you should be looking at something like:
set authorStr to "John Doe"
set theFilePath to "/path/to/some.jpg"
set theCmd to "exiftool -author=" & quoted form of authorStr & space & quoted form of theFilePath
Now you could, of course, use quoted form when you create the variables (e.g. set authorStr to quoted form of "John Doe"), but that may screw you up later on if/when you try to use authorStr in some other way, so I find it best to use quoted form only where it's needed.

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.

Modify shell script to work with other folders

i am trying to modify a shell script that sorts files in a course folder into sub folders by month. I have a shell script that works, but when i try to modify it for another course folder it quits working. can someone let me know what i am doing wrong?
the working shell script:
do shell script "
for f in \"$HOME/Desktop/DWI Annual Report/\"*
do if [ ! -d \"$f\" ]; then
x=\"${f%%.*}\"
i=$((${#x}-3))
if [ -d \"$HOME/Desktop/DWI monthly/${f:$i:3}\" ]; then
mv \"$f\" \"$HOME/Desktop/DWI monthly/${f:$i:3}\"
fi
fi
done"
the nonworking modified script:
do shell script "
for f in \"$HOME/Desktop/DOEP Annual Report/\"*
do
    if [ ! -d \"$f\" ]; then
        x=\"${f%%.*}\"
        i=$((${#x}-3))
        if [ -d \"$HOME/Desktop/DOEP monthly/${f:$i:3}\" ]; then
            mv \"$f\" \"$HOME/Desktop/DOEP monthly/${f:$i:3}\"

It takes the class rosters and copies the information from the class roster to the annual report and then moves the file to the monthly folder and files it in the appropriate months folder based on the last three letters of the file name.

Unix master shell script to run jobs in parallel with dependency

I need a master shell script which would call the following shell scripts as per below order. Kindly note that if any shell script fails then the master shell script should abort.
Level 1     PRODUCTS
     SP_ROST_DLY_STG_lD
     SP_ROST_DLY_ITG_lD
After Level 1 completes run below two shell scripts in parallel:
Level 2     SP_IDL_EDGE_CON_POSTN_STG_Ld ,     SP_IDL_EDGE_ACCT_POSTN_STG_LD
After Level 2 completes run below shell scripts as per the seqeunce and in parallel:
Level 3     SP_IDL_EDGE_ACCT_STG_LD ,     SP_IDL_EDGE_CONT_STG_LD
     SP_IDL_EDGE_ACCT_STG_VAL ,     SP_IDL_EDGE_CONT_STG_VAL
     SP_IDL_EDGE_ACCT_ITG_Ld ,     SP_IDL_EDGE_CON_ITG_Ld
After Level 3 completes run below shell scripts as per the seqeunce and in parallel:
Level 4     SP_IDL_EDGE_CONT_POSTN_ITG_LD ,     SP_IDL_EDGE_VISITS_LD
     SP_IDL_EDGE_ACCT_POSTN_ITG_LD ,     SP_IDL_EDGE_VISITS_DTL_LD

can i avoid using set -e and use some other method so that if there is an error in previous job then the next job is not triggered.Sure, but it is ugly.
The below is not the only way to do this...
Wrap every place you start another script with:
$ if ! MYSCRIPT; then
    echo Script MYSCRIPT failed. >&2
    exit 1
fibut the wrapper for parallel scripts is even worse:
$ MYSCRIPT &
$ MYSCRIPT_JOBNO=$!
$ MYSCRIPT2 &
$ MYSCRIPT2_JOBNO=$!
$ MYSCRIPT_STATUS=`wait ${MYSCRIPT_JOBNO}`
$ if [ ${MYSCRIPT_STATUS} -ne 0 ]; then
    echo Script MYSCRIPT failed. >&2
    exit 1
fi
$ MYSCRIPT2_STATUS=`wait ${MYSCRIPT2_JOBNO}`
$ if [ ${MYSCRIPT2_STATUS} -ne 0 ]; then
    echo Script MYSCRIPT2 failed. >&2
    exit 1
fi
...Now, doesn't a simple 'set -e' look much better?
