Run SQL*Loader from forms

How can we run SQL*Loader from forms. I guess HOST command will run the OS comman on the clinet. How do I invoke the Loader script on the server from the forms clinet?
-Ravi.

Look..the oracle server is in UnixWare 7 and the client PC
is on Windows XP Pro, but before install the Oracle Client Software into the client pc the builtin HOST doesn't work
then I install the Software in Windows XP pc and now I'm
working loading the txt file into the server on Unix,
Try to install the Oracle Client Software into the Citrix
client, I think it work.

Calling SQL*Loader from Forms

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has called SQL*Loader from Forms?
What I am wanting to do is use Oracle Forms as the interface where you can specify a file that you can import into the database and it will use a set control file. Push the import button and SQL*Loader does the rest.
Is using Java code to call SQL*Loader from Forms a viable option, or is there an easier way to achieve the desired outcome.
Any ideas or guidance will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott.

Scott,
In forms, there's a HOST built-in command which is supposed to execute any o/s commands.
What you have to do is :
1. Bult up the string exacltly in the fashion which you will run in o/s
2. Call the HOST Built-in and pass in the string
Here's a example :
Declare
lOsCmd Varchar2(1000) := Null;
Begin
lOsCmd := 'sqlldr user-id=userid/passwd@connectStr '
|| ' control=c:\temp\abc.ctl log=c:\temp\abc.log '
|| ' bad = c:\temp\abc.log';
Host (lOsCmd, No_Screen);
End;

Need help to run sql loader from Form6i

Hi All,
I have some problem with the sql loader running from form 6i.
I have done following steps for that.
1. have created bat file to run sql loader.
2.Alos created ctl and txt files inside the same folder.
In the form , in button press i have written below code
HOST('cmd /c C:\load1.bat > C:\output.txt');
But it is giving error as -
"Unable to open Load1.ctl."
but i have run that bat files from command prompt ; and it is running fine.
I guess probably it is not getting the correct path.
Will pls help me, wt exacly I'm doing wrong?
Rg,
Subir

Hi Francois,
Thanks for reply.
It is not a problem with the batch files. Coz, I just able to run batch files, but that is not correct solution.
Once the host command id firing, that time it is going to path -
"c:\orant\Form60\"
And in this path it searching for that batch files and all the require files; but the require files are present in some different folder. So i think I need to change the path as well, but that I'm unable to do.
To resolve the problem, I have copied all the files in "c:\orant\Form60\" folder, and then it is working.
So I think I need to changed the path, so how to change the path. If I able to change the path I think it will worked. How to change the path?
Best Rg,
Subir

SQL Loader from Forms 10

Hello!
How can i call to SQL Loader from my application developed by Forms 10?

My application is doing something similar.
Given that the iAS server can read from the data source (where the flat file for the sqlldr to load), all you need is to write a shell script that is invoked from within the forms application (using the host command). The shell script (I use Perl) will do invoking the sqlldr and also other checks, etc
hope this helps

Calling SQL Loader from Forms 4.5 using HOST command in Win2000

One of my forms calls SQL Loader 7.3 using HOST command to load a csv file onto the database(Oracle 7.3) under Windows 2000 platform.
Only after sql loader finishes its operation the control should come to my form i.e. synchronous execution.
As of now its running asynchronously.
Is there any way to make it synchronous. If Not any other work arounds?
Environment Details
Forms [32 Bit] Version 4.5.10.6.0 (Production)
Windows 2000 Operating System
Oracle7 Release 7.3.2.3.2

Forms6i running on W2000, Rdbms 8.1.7
in Forms I added a button TEST,
Trigger when-button-pressed : host('test.bat') ;
in directory .......\frm I added file test.bat :
REM ===============
cd /d C:\........\ldr
pause
sqlldr parfile=test.par
pause
type test.log
pause
exit
REM ================
now, pressing TEST button opens DOS window, telling me what's going on, running sqlldr, finally going back to forms
Are you using NO_PROMPT or NO_SCREEN option of HOST command ?
Had a look at Forms 4.5 manuals, there is no mentioning of (a)synchronously operation in connection with HOST command.

Can we run java bean from forms client server??

Hi,
The OLTP application we are planning to build has lot of gui e.g
tabs, drag and drop etc. Our aim is to make it web enabled but
the network bandwidth available is small 16 - 64K . So even
thoughwe plan toi use applet , we seriuosly doubt how good it
will perform on such low network bandwidth. [The system will
have 100 users]
Q1. What will be a reasonable bandwidth to run an oltp
application (say maintenance )
Hence we are thinking of developing with developer 6i and
deploying our application in client server mode, which can
easily be web enabled in future. But we also have to integrate
visual interfaces like gantt chart, which are not available with
forms. We plan to use third party java component (e.g ILOG
jviews), so that in future we can easily web enable the entire
application.
Q2. Can we run forms with java bean in client server mode? If
not, what are the products to be installed on each machine to
run it without using 9ias?
best regards

Yes. We can run sql loader from client machine.
C:\Karthik>sqlldr user/pass@database data='test.csv' control='test.ctl' log='test.log' bad='test.bad'

friend
sqlldr is an application residing in the OS. procedure runs in the dbms engine.
you cannot run an os command directly from a procedure or a function or a package .
If you want to do so you need to use either a daemon process created by a PRO*C program
or a JAVA stored procedure to do so.
just refer to previous question forums, you can find the solution. Somebody has already given a solution using
java to run an OS command . check it out

SQL loader from froms 9i

Hi,
How to execute SQLLDR from web forms in IAS.
You need to set the ORACLE_HOME to the one which has sqlldr.
You can create a DOS BAT file like this for Windows and call this
using the HOST built-in.
If you are using this on web then the HOST will execute in the
Application Server machine. So, files should be in that machine.
REM=======For Windows===============
REM filename Mysqlldr.BAT
REM my file to execute sqlldr
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\iSuites
set PATH=D:\oracle\iSuites\bin;%PATH%
sqlldr scott/tiger@l817 D:\Mycontrol.ctl DATA=mydata.dat LOG=mylog.log BAD=mybad.log
REM======================
Similarily, you can create a Shell script for UNIX system.

Calling Sql*Loader from oracle Form builder

How do i call sql* loader from my forms to import the external data in different formats into my existing database?
Specify the flexibility of sql* loader to import external data from .txt files or .xls files.
Would be thankful if certain examples are given along with the answer.

Hi,
1. First you have to create seperate ctl (Control files) which maps to different file formats
2. Using Oracle Forms,
2a) You can use the 'HOST' command to execute the command line ie. In this case executing
SQL*Loader script
2b) You also have the feature in ORACLE forms to read text files and load the data into
ORACLE db.
This can be achieved by using TEXT_IO package which comes with ORACLE Forms.
Hope this helps

Problem trying to run sql loader

hi ,
i'm trying to run sql loader but i'm getting an error message. it was working a few days ago but not now. i am on oracle version 8.0.6.2.0
from a unix prompt line i type....
sqlldr system/manager id3com.ctl
the error message i get is......
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
SQL*Loader-704: internal error: ulconnect: OCISessionBegin [-1]
does anyone know what this is for? i've always used system/manager in the past but just recently i've been getting error messages.

I'd say someone changed the password. Try running sql*plus as system.

How do you run sql loader?

I can not find suitable documentation on running sql loader in 9i on win2000. Can anyone give me a hint on the syntax of this command? Can I run it in SQL/Plus?
Thanks.

sqlldr.exe is it's own utility. it's not part of sqlplus. To run it in sqlplus you typically have to 'host sqlldr'. To run it, try typing 'sqlldr HELP=Y' from a DOS command prompt. It should get your the parameters.
