Consider the following alternative.
Have DBMS_SCHEDULER invoke a task that only oracle controls at OS level.
You control what, if anything, that gets passed to this script.
You control who & when DBMS_SCHEDULER invokes this script.
By doing so, no Java is involved & no use for UTL_FILE to be used.
ALL OS file activity is controlled by YOUR script.
OS activities are best handled by OS shell script; without involving Oracle's extensions (UTL_FILE, Java, etc.) to diddle at the OS level.

How to run unix command from Oracle Foms 10g

OS: UNIX Solaries, Oracle Application Server 10g
To run shell script from Oracle Forms, I used the following host('/bin/bash /u01/compile.sh') and it works well
Now, I need to run unix command something like
host('mv form1.fmx FORM1.FMX') but it's not working
I tried to append the command "mv form1.fmx FORM1.FMX" to the compile.sh shell script but also it's not working although the rest lines of the shell script is running well

Run OS command from Oracle

Hi All!!
Which package can help me to run OS command from SQL script?
Thanks.

If you are using SQL*Plus to execute the script, you can use the SQL*Plus command HOST. If you are trying to execute an operating system command from a PL/SQL block (i.e. a stored procedure), you would need to use an external procedure or a Java stored procedure that uses Java's shell functionality.

First bullet of the thread no one reads
Posters, please mind these common-sense rules when participating here:
- When asking a question, provide all the details that someone would need to answer it. Consulting documentation first is highly recommended.
For me that includes perusing available resources. The 'Search Forum' button of this forum is. Http://asktom.oracle.com also is. Ninety nine percent of all users posting here did zero to resolve their own problem. This is why the results of 'Search Forum' are such a mess. As Oracle does nothing to moderate or clean up this forum, the mess stays and is aggravated because most people....
etc.
But then consilodating threads in a series of FAQs wouldn't help, as most people wouldn't read them.

How can I use unix commands from oracle report

I have to use the following command from oracle reports.
In oracle forms we can use the HOST command but what about oracle reports2.5.
I have to email the attached file 100245.pdf from oracle reports to the given email id
uuencode 100245.pdf 100245.pdf | mailx -s "test" [email protected]

Hi,
It's because .bat (or .cmd) files are scripts and not executables and are interpreted using the command line executable - which is normally cmd.exe (although you can buy others).
So you need to call cmd.exe passing the bat file name as a parameter, something like
cmd.exe /c batchfilename
Without the /c you will never get a response.
However, this brings us to the bizarre conclusion that you are going to:
call cmd.exe (a shell interpreter)
to launch a batch file
that calls cygwin (another shell interpreter)
which then runs ls
When shouldn't that just be:
call cmd.exe to run the dir command
Or better yet, If you are just after a file name listing and you seem to understand Java stored procs, why not just write a JSP to list the contents of a directory? No problems with OS dependant commands, scripts and 3rd party interpreters. Plenty of examples of that out on the internet as well.

Running ssh command from java and then answering password prompt

Hi,
I have a situation that has not solved yet. I am running ssh command from unix terminal without any problem, and then i enter password.
For example :
[oracle@fuata]:/export/home/oracle> ssh -N [email protected] -L 9901:127.0.0.1:9999
Password:
It is working. I have question that how can i perform this in java? I am thinking that i can run ssh command by using Runtime Class, it is ok. But how can i answer the password? I am a bit confused. Is there any example looks like this?
Thanks for responses.

Thanx. Firstly i insisted to do this without jsch but actually this is harder than jsch. I edit some of code pieces PortForwardingL.java and could run it. It works problem-free. Could you say why you "insisted" on this approach. It can't be for speed+ since jsch is very fast. It can't be for portability+ since jsch is portable but the use of Runtime.exec() requires the installation of ssh software. It can't be because of limitations+ since jsch is a fully featured library. It can't be for security+ since jsch is secure. It can't be for ease of use+ since jsch is much easier to use than ssh with Runtime.exec(). Unless it's a licensing issue, it can't be for commercial+ reasons since jsch is free. The only reason I can think of why one would "insisted" on this approach is if it is for some college project.

Running ls command from Java stroed procedure no output

Hi ,
I am trying to run ls command from java stored procedure in oracle
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
// read the output from the command
System.out.println("output of the command run:\n");
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
from java stored procedure in oracle.
i get output of println statments but it does not go into while loop to print from stdInput.
Result of running Java stored procedure is -
output of the command run:
Call completed.
when i run the program on client side it works fine.
Has anybody tried this from java stroed procedure.
Thanks,
Jag

Jag,
Actually, the question of whether it works for me seems to depend on the version of the OS (or Oracle). On RedHat Linux (Oracle 8.1.6) it didn't work at all, but on Solaris (Oracle 9.0.2) it did. Here's the output from that run:
SQL> /
output of the command run:
init.ora
initDBPart9i.DBPSun01.ora
initdw.ora
lkDBPART9I
orapw
orapwDBPart9i
spfileDBPart9i.ora
Done
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
But, I did need to change a line of your code to this:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/ls");
your original was:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
You might consider, if possible, use of some of the Java File classes instead of ls, as this might make things more predictable for you. There were some examples in oramag.com a few months ago, but they were pretty simple (you might not need them).
Hope this helps,

How to run OS commands from PL/SQL???

Hi
Is there any way to run OS commands(Windows Platform) from within PL/SQL?
Thanks

APC,
I am working on Discoverer, having lots of BAs & Workbooks created & stored in Database. Now if i want to move all the workbooks from one place to another (like from development to test or production) i can use Command line interface of Disco to do this. But i don't see any option there to export all the workbooks, so i thought of writing a pl/sql to get all the workbook names from the EUL then fire export Command for each record(although not a good practice but its a one time work). This is the place where i need to run OS command from within PL/SQL. Although it doesn't seem possible now(as you all said) without external procedure.
Lastly, you are right that "Oracle make databases not operating systems" but my first impression/comment about oracle is:
"Oracle is far Bigger, Powerful, Complex, Vast and Interesting System than any other..." so i believe it can do/capable doing anything :-)
thx Ashutosh,
Host is definitely an option but i can't run it from pl/sql(that i am looking for)..

Running Unix Command from WEB-APPLICATION

Hi all,
I want to run unix command from a java-based web application. the basic code part is this ---
public class RunCommand
      public String runIt()
          String s = null, returnString = "";
          Process p=null;
          try
                   Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
              p = rt.exec("sh testPOC.ksh");
              p.waitFor();
              BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
                   InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
              BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
                   InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
              // read the output from the command
              returnString += "Here is the standard output of the command:<br>";
              while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
                  returnString += s;
              // read any errors from the attempted command
              returnString += "Here is the standard error of the command (if any): <br>";
              while ((s = stdError.readLine()) != null) {
                  returnString += s;
          catch (IOException e)
              returnString += "exception happened - here's what I know: ";
              returnString += "error-> " + e.getMessage();
          catch(Exception e)
            returnString += "exception happened - here's what I know: ";
              returnString += "error-> " + e.getMessage();
          return returnString;
}this class is kept as an inner class. The control comes to its outer class, from servlet, from which the runit() is called. but the exception is occuring at line of p=rt.exec(.....). it tells "<command name> : not found transaction completed" [got this using getMessage() method].
i am unable to show(and see, too) the stacktrace, because i don't have access to that test environment and its log. i can't run this in local because its windows one.
now can anyone tell me, where is the problem. is there any limitation in web application server/container? this was successful when i used command prompt writing a .java file. Please help me. Thanks in advance...

Friends, i've got, where the problem is.
when we run a class file directly from a command prompt, we get an environment with that shell window. but for a servlet application running these kind of commands from a class creates kind of child processes. each and every command is executed as a child process of jvm and don't get those environment. we have 'PATH' variable in the environment. when a command (say, 'dir' or 'sh' or 'ls', etc.) is executed, the shell first search for that executable file (i.e. dir / sh / ls) in the given paths in the variable 'PATH'. this is not available for the child commands of jvm. hence the basic commands are searched in the current directory of the jvm and they are failed.
i solved the problem giving full path of the commands. like :
p = rt.exec("/bin/sh runningScript.ksh")

I want to execute commands from Oracle where files are stored in Server. For eg. (sample.dat) contains some insert scripts which is stored in UNIX Server, that scripts should be executed from oracle using some methods!! Hope everyone got it. If not, pls let me know i'll elaborate it later.
Thanks

If you are using oracle 10g then you can use dbms_scheduler to execute o/s commands, scripts.
BEGIN
-- Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
job_name => 'test_full_job_definition',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/scripts/myscript.sh',
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
repeat_interval => 'freq=hourly; byminute=0',
end_date => NULL,
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
END;
For earlier versions than 10g
