Process Flow - User Defined object calling Unix Shell script not working

Hi, I have a User Defined Object in a Process Flow with the following parameters :-
Command: /usr/bin/ksh
Parameter List:
Result Code:
Script: cd /shell_scripts
./dwh_get_datafile.sh param1 param2 param3
Success Threshold: 0
The script executes but it does not correctly interpret all the Unix commands within it e.g command such as FTP, DATE, GREP etc.
In the job details I can see :-
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: date: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: ftp: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: grep: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: rm: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: ls: not found
./dwh_get_datafile.sh: awk: not found
Anyone know what I have done wrong ?
The script runs fine when run as a Unix script while logged into Telnet.
Thanks.
Paul

The shell script is executed by the oracle user in the unix environment so make sure that the directorie where you can find the unix commands exists in the path for the oracle user in .profile as you can se in my example below.
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$OWBHOME/bin:/ASW/ora_script:/local/bstat:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin; export PATH
/JZ

User defined workflow calling unix shell script

Hi
I have defined a workflow in OWB 10GR2 which calles a user defined object before calling the actual mapping.
The user defined object calls a unix shell script which sets things right in the shell before the mapping can run.
When executing the shell script from a unix shell myself it does exactly what I want
However if I call the same script from workflow it does not recognize any of the commands not even internal shell commands like ls, touch.
I've created a small test.sh script
#! /bin/bash
ls -l > listing.txt
Created a flow with a user_defined object of which property is set:
COMMAND.Value /home/oracle/test.sh
If I then deploy and start the flow get the following:
PF_WEB_00:TEST Success
/home/oracle/test.sh: line 2: ls: command not found
Anyone has any clue why this is or what I'm doing wrong?
Geert

Hi Lew,
Thanks for the reply.
This basically confirms what I've figured out so far.
I noticed I was able to get my script running by using absolute paths everywhere, after which my only problem was it could not resolve the TNS.
To bypass this I ended up copying all the path settings out of the .profile of my oracle user into my script after which the script ran fine.
At least now I know for sure what's causing it and that by making my scripts a bit more extensive then usual I can do what I please :)

Call Unix Shell Script From OBIEE

Hi All,
Is it possible to do a call to a Unix Shell Script with the Action Framework from OBIEE.
Thanks in Advance

I dont think so but we can go for it instead of BI side. Try to port the same functionality on shell script side, so that the script can identify your report using tail of nqquery log and execute the rest of your lines in shell script.
This can doable and works as expected. If at all you are going with my suggestion you can go for a small key word to identify your report instead of that lengthy logical query.
Pls mark if helps

Can i call unix shell script from B2B callout.

We had a requirement to invoke a unix shell script from B2B callout implemented class. Here is the code in implementation class:

We were able to execute the unix shell script from standalone java class with same code. But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.
Is it possible to invoke unix shell script from B2B callout?
Please give inputs.
Regards,

Though it's not a good idea to invoke shell scripts from java callout but technically it will work.
But some how it is not working as expected while invoking the B2B java callout.What is not working as expected? Any error in the log (server-diagnostic.log or server.out)?

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

Parameter process flow user defined process

Hello
i try to start Oracle Import imp.exe on a user-defined process. If I type in the parameters as a literal value, i.e. ?USERID=.../... PARFILE=d:/import/import.par?
it works well, also if i replace this value by a bind variable. But when I add the userid setting to the value of the parameter, it can't be read properly as I get the error "invalid userid/password".
Any ideas?

I mistyped sth, now it works

How can I call unix shell script from database using triggers

Hi everyone,
can anybody help me to solve my problem.
we have one table and records are getting inserted into table.
when the record is inserted with 'C',I need to fetch that record-id which is primary key and then by passing that id as an argument I need to execute a shell script which is there in Unix using triggers.
please note DB and Scripts are in different servers.

PL/SQL can only interact with objects on the local DB Server.
PL/SQL can initiate OS local script via any of the following mechanisms: EXTERNAL PROCEDURE, JAVA, DBMS_SCHEDULER
The local script then will need to launch the remote script.

Hardcode password in a do shell script not working

I have been trying to solve something i have wanted to do for a long time, that is get a script that changes the ammount of time before the display goes to sleep. I tried GUi scripting but in system preferences the changes made to the slider did not stay. So i have now come onto a do shell script. Found below. I would prefer to just hardcode my password into it however this does not seem to work. Any ideas ?
set exitflag to false
try
repeat until exitflag is true
set {text returned:Sleeptime, button returned:sleepstate} to (display dialog "Minutes before display sleep" & return & "Between 1 and 180 mintues" & return & "Greater than 180 means never sleep" default answer "1" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2)
set Sleeptime to Sleeptime as number
if Sleeptime is less than 1 then
set exitflag to false
else if Sleeptime is greater than 180 then
set Sleeptime to 0
set exitflag to true
else
set exitflag to true
end if
end repeat
end try
set Sleeptime1 to Sleeptime as string
set Sleeptime1 to quoted form of Sleeptime1
set psswd to quoted form of "XXXXX"
do shell script "sudo pmset -a displaysleep " & Sleeptime1 password psswd
set pete to do shell script "sudo pmset -g"
set xx to text -2 thru -1 of pete
if xx - Sleeptime = 0 then
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message "Worked:" & return & xx & " mintues"
end tell
else
tell application "SEC Helper"
show screen message "Failed!"
end tell
end if

1) don't use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script'. It isn't necessary and will sometimes break.
2) do not use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script'
3) do not use... I'm sure you get the idea.
It is not necessary to use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script' command. 'do shell script' itself takes care of the authentication element when you use 'with administrator privileges'. Therefore the appropriate way of doing this is:
<pre class=command>do shell script "pmset -g displaysleep " & sleeptime1 with administrator privileges password psswd</pre>
If you omit the 'password psswd' element the user will be prompted to authenticate using the standard system authentication dialog.
The problem you're running into is that the 'password' parameter is only valid when you use 'with adminitrator privileges', and is therefore getting ignored in your current script.

Calling unix shell script from SAP

Hi,
1. i created command in SM69 as Zshell.
