Running a windows batch file on the middle teir

Hi, I am converting a client/server Forms app to 10iAS (9.0.4). in Client Server mode, one of the forms calls a batch file that runs on the client. The same batch file must now run on the middle teir app server where iAS is installed, not the client's computer (no need for WebUtil).
No change was made to the batch file, and it can be run with supplied params at the command prompt on the iAS server. However, when run through the web app, the batch file is failing. It is being executed, but when it hits this line:
FOR %%F in (%1\arp*.w) do type %%F | gawk -f ARKeys.awk | gawk -f SMSar.awk
it fails.
Q: is there a different method to program DOS batch files wheb being called from the Forms server?

  • How to run batch files in the backround ??????

    please anyone tell me how to run the batch files in the background i dont want anyone to interfere the batch file..The batch file has to run for a long time even days so it will be safe if the batch file is running in the bachgroung somewhere ..
    please help me in this regards
    Thanking u
    Regards
    Santhosh

    The easiest way is to write a native application which starts the batch file in hidden mode (the target batch file could be an argument).
    Under Windows it would be done with the API call
    ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "C:\mybatch.bat", NULL, NULL, SW_HIDE);
    Then compile the native tool as windows application with no user interface. Now you are able to execute applications in invisible mode.

  • Is there any command in windows batch file similar to the unix grep command

    Hi,
    I have a batch file which will return status of the Database to a file ex: "OPEN". Now I want to read this output file and check for the "OPEN" string from another batch file. any suggestions?. This is similar to "grep" command in unix. I want this to be done in windows batch file.
    This is my actual batch file
    rem -- Description: Check whether the Database is UP
    rem -- Usage:
    rem -- ORACLE_SID is input parameter for the file
    rem --
    rem --start of batch file
    @echo off
    set ORACLE_SID=%1
    echo connect plp/ltd1plp@%1
    echo set cmdsep on
    echo set cmdsep '"'; --"
    echo set term on
    echo spool c:/status_log.log
    echo select status from v$instance;
    echo spool off
    ) | sqlplus /nolog

  • How do I make a batch file if the .class file uses a foreign package?

    I am trying to make an MS-DOS batch file using the bytecode file from the Java source file, called AddFields.java. This program uses the package BreezySwing; which is not standard with the JDK. I had to download it seperately. I will come back to this batch file later.
    But first, in order to prove the concept, I created a Java file called Soap.java in JCreator. It is a very simple GUI program that uses the javax.swing package; which does come with the JDK. The JDK is currently stored in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07. I have the PATH environment variable set to the 'bin' folder of the JDK. I believe that it is important that this variable stay this way because C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin is where the file 'java.exe' and 'javac.exe' are stored. Here is my batch file so far for Soap:
    @echo off
    cd \acorn
    set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
    set classpath=.
    java Soap
    pause
    Before I ran this file, I compiled Soap.java in my IDE and then ran it successfully. Then I moved the .class file to the directory C:\acorn. I put NOTHING ELSE in this folder. then I told the computer where to find the file 'java.exe' which I know is needed for execution of the .class file. I put the above text in Notepad and then saved it as Soap.bat onto my desktop. When I double click on it, the command prompt comes up in a little green box for a few seconds, and then the GUI opens and says "It Works!". Now that I know the concept of batch files, I tried creating another one that used the BreezySwing package.
    After I installed my JDK, I installed BreezySwing and TerminalIO which are two foreign packages that make building code much easier. I downloaded the .zip file from Lambert and Osborne called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO.zip. I extracted the files to the 'bin' folder of my JDK. Once I did this, and set the PATH environment variable to the 'bin' folder of my JDK, all BreezySwing and TerminalIO programs that I made worked. Now I wanted to make a batch file from the program AddFields.java. It is a GUI program that imports two packages, the traditional GUI javax.swing package and the foreign package BreezySwing. The user enters two numbers in two DoubleField objects and then selects one of four buttons; one for each arithmetic operation (add, subtract, multiply, or divide). Then the program displays the solution in a third DoubleField object. This program both compiles and runs successfully in JCreator. So, next I moved the .class file from the MyProjects folder that JCreator uses to C:\acorn. I put nothing else in this folder. The file Soap.class was still in there, but I did not think it would matter. Then I created the batch file:
    @echo off
    cd \acorn
    set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
    set classpath=.
    java AddFields
    pause
    As you can see, it is exactly the same as the one for Soap. I made this file in Notepad and called it AddFields.bat. Upon double clicking on the file, I got this error message from command prompt:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: BreezySwing/GBFrame

    Press any key to continue . . .
    I know that most of this makes no sense; but that it only means that it cannot find the class BreezySwing or GBFrame (which AddFields extends). Notice, however that it does not give an error for javax.swing. If I change the "set path..." command to anything other than the 'bin' folder of my JDK, I get this error:
    'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    Press any key to continue . . .
    I know this means that the computer cannot find the file 'java.exe' which I believe holds all of the java.x.y.z style packages (native packages); but not BreezySwing or any other foreign packages. Remember, I do not get this error for any of the native Java packages. I decided to compare the java.x.y.z packages with BreezySwing:
    I see that all of the native packages are not actually visible in the JDK's bin folder. I think that they are all stored in one of the .exe files in there because there are no .class files in the JDK's bin folder.
    However, BreezySwing is different, there is no such file called "BreezySwing.exe"; there are just about 20 .class files all with names like "GBFrame.class", and "GBActionListener.class". As a last effort, I moved all of these .class files directly into the bin folder (they were originally in a seperate folder called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO). This did nothing; even with all of the files in the same folder as java.exe.
    So my question is: What do I need to do to get the BreezySwing package recognized on my computer? Is there possibly a download for a file called "BreezySwing.exe" somewhere that would be similar to "java.exe" and contain all of the BreezySwing packages?

    There is a lot of detail in your posts. I won't properly quote everything you put (too laborious). Instead I'll just put your words inside quotes (").
    "..there are some things about the interface that I do not like."
    Like +what?+ This is not a help desk, and I would appreciate you participating in this discussion by providing details of what it is about the 'interface' of webstart that you 'do not like'. They are probably misunderstandings on your part.
    "Some of the .jar files I made were so dangerously corrupt, that I had to restart my computer before I could delete them."
    Corrupt?! I have never once had the Java tools produce a corrupt Jar. OTOH, the 'cannot delete' problem might relate to the JRE gaining a file lock on the archive at run-time. If the file lock persisted after ending the app., it suggests that the JRE was not properly shut down. This is a bug in the code and should be fixed. Deploying as .class files will only 'hide' the problem (from casual inspection - though the Task Manager should show the orphaned 'java' process).
    "I then turned to batch files for their simple structure and portability (I managed to successfully transport a java.util containing batch file from my computer to another). This was what I did:
    - I created a folder called Task
    - Then I copied three things into this folder: 1. The file "java.exe" from my JDK. 2. The program's .class file (Count.class). and 3. The original batch file.
    - Then I moved the folder from a removable disk to the second computer's C drive (C:\Task).
    - Last, I changed the code in the batch file...:"
    That is the +funniest+ thing I've heard on the forums in the last 72 hours. You say that is easy?! Some points.
    - editing batch files is not scalable to 100+ machines, let alone 10000+.
    - The fact that Java worked on the target machine was because it was +already installed.+ Dragging the 'java.exe' onto a Windows PC which has no Java will not magically make it 'Java enabled'.
    And speaking of Java on the client machine. Webstart has in-built mechanisms to ensure that the end user has the minimum required Java version to run the app. - we can also use the [deployJava.js|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html#deplToolkit] on the original web page, to check for minimum Java before it puts the link to download/install the app. - if the user does not have the required Java, the script should guide them through installing it.
    Those nice features in deployJava.js are available to applets and apps. launched using webstart, but they are not available for (plain) Jar's or loose class files. So if 'ensuring the user has Java' is one of the requirements for your launch, you are barking up the wrong tree by deploying loose class files.
    Note also that if you abandon webstart, but have your app. set up to work from a Jar, the installation process would be similar to above (though it would not need a .bat file, or editing it). This basic strategy is one way that I provide [Appleteer (as a downloadable ZIP archive)|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#download]. Though I side-step your part 1 by putting the stuff into a Jar with the path Appleteer/ - when the user expands the ZIP, the parts of the app. are already in the Appleteer directory.
    Appleteer is also provided as a webstart launched application (and as an applet). Either of those are 'easier' to use than the downloadable ZIP, but I thought I would provide it in case the end user wants to save it to disk and transport the app. to a machine with no internet connection, but with Java (why they would be testing applets on a PC with no internet connection, I am not sure - but the option is there).
    "I know that .jar and .exe files are out because I always get errors and I do not like their interfaces. "
    What on earth are you talking about? Once the app. is on-screen, the end user would not be able to distinguish between
    1) A Jar launched using a manifest.
    2) A Jar launched using webstart.
    3) Loose class files.
    Your fixation on .bat files sounds much like the adage that 'If the only tool you have is a hammer, every job starts to look like a nail'.
    Get over them, will you? +Using .bat files is not a practical way to provide a Java app. to the end user+ (and launching an app. from a .bat looks quite crappy and 'second hand' to +this+ user).
    Edit 1:
    The instructions for running Appleteer as a Jar are further up the page, in the [Running Appleteer: Application|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#application] section.

  • Problem in connecting to sqlplus from windows batch file (DOS)

    Hi All,
    We have a new 10g Oracle database installed on windows server. I am trying to write a windows batch file to
    1) Connect to SQLPLUS
    2) Execute a script
    3) Disconnect from SQLPLUS.
    Example File Name:- execsql.bat
    SET ORACLE_SID=CAUT
    SET SCHEMA_IN=%1
    SET PASS=DEV
    SET script=%2
    sqlplus %SCHEMA_IN%/%PASS%@%ORACLE_SID% @%script%
    if %errorlevel% NEQ 0 echo ERROR: %ERRORLEVEL% else echo OK
    Now if i run this bat file like :- execsql.bat DEV script1.sql
    DEV= schema name,
    script1.sql = this file contains select * from dual;
    The code runs fine, but if i change dual to dual1 the sql error's out but not able to catch the error in the batch file.
    Reason why i would like to catch the error is this batch file would be scheduled through Autosys job scheduler and for autosys any exit code >0 is an error. Please help me in rewriting this batch script.
    Thanks
    Sam.

    Hello,
    What if you run this in SQL*Plus before you run the SELECT:
    whenever sqlerror exit failure

  • Running executable in batch file as administrator when UAC is high

    Hi Team,
    I have a requirement of running executable in batch file by passing the current windows login username as parameters. Below is the content of my batch file:
    cmd /c start setup.exe http://testsite:7001/mobile  %username%  %username%
    But, when the UAC is set high in windows 7 machine, this executable is not running properly, and giving me warnings. And, if I am running the same start command after opening command prompt as administrator, then executable is running smoothly.
    So, is there any way I can run the executable as administrator by giving some options in batch file, when UAC is high?
    I tried runas option, but its prompting for admin password, which we can't provide as users will not know.
    Do we have some option in batch file as 'Run As Administrator' right click option, where it doesn't prompt for password but run the file with admin privilege?
    Thanks,
    Tina Soni

    Hi,
    When using Runas command, you can add a switch option /savecred
    /savecred will make it ask for admin password on the first run only, after that it should be saved

  • Why do I get error -17500 when calling a batch file using the call executable step type?

    I am calling a batch file using the call executable step type. If the path to the batch file contains a space I get error -17500 and a message stating there was an error in "Post". For example the path to the batch file is "c:\TestWin\Test Files\...\Program.bat" When I run this I get the above mentioned error, however if I change my directory structure so the path is now "c:\TestWin\TestFiles\...\Program.bat" it runs fine. I use the browse feature to find my batch file so it is not me typing in a path incorrectly. I have removed the batch file and I get a different error stating that it couldn't find the file so it appears that for my error it can find the file but can't run it. I am
    sure that this has something to do with the fact that batch files are written in DOS but really don't want to resort to changing my directory structure on all my test stations. Is there any way to fix this problem so I can leave a space in my path?

    It appears I have figured it out. This was on another computer so I was unaware of how they used their computer. I like you got it to work in the temp directory and in fact got the program.bat file to work as long as I put it under the temp directory, but when I switched out to my TestWin directory it wouldn't work, so I removed everything from the directory except the batch file it self and it work. What I found out after adding files in one at a time is that the person had a file called "Test" with no file extension in there "c:\TestWin\" directory. Removing this file made it work. Putting the file back broke it. So it appeares that when teststand was running it followed the path saw a space and attempted to grab the "Test" file instead of bro
    wsing into the "Test Files" directory. If you create a file in your temp directory called "temp" with no file extension you will see the same problem. Thank you for your help.

  • Call Oracle Stored Procedure with Parameters from Windows Batch File

    Hi,
    I have an oracle procedure that requires two parameters to execute, start date and end date as such:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE insert_orders(
    pSTART_DT IN varchar2
    , pEND_DT IN varchar2
    I want to create a windows batch file to execute the procedure but want to be able to specify the parameters (ie start and end dates) in the batch file as opposed to changing the sql file that the batch file uses to execute the procedure but I don't know what the syntax is. I tried the following but it still doesn't work.
    Sql File: call_insert_orders.sql
    execute insert_orders('&1','&2');
    exit
    Batch File:
    sqlplus username/password @call_insert_orders.sql %01-jan-2010% %01-jan-2011%
    When I execute the batch file, my DOS window still prompts me to enter value 1 so I think it recognizes that there is a variable being used but is not able to fill in the actual value I specify. I'm not an experienced DOS/Windows Batch File person so I'm guessing it's my syntax that's screwed up. There is not a lot of documentation on this subject matter hence my post on this forum. Any helps would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Just try the same DOS command without all the % sign.
    In MS-DOS, the % at the beginning and at the end of a string are for variables. Which means your batch is looking for a variable called 01-jan-2010 and a variable called 01-jan-2011, but those are the values you want to pass, not the name of variables.
    As they are not defined, nothing is passed to the sqlplus script, and that is why you are prompted for values.
    Hope it will help.
    Regards,
    Sylvie

  • Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL

    Hi!
    Youn need some extproc related entries in you listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file.
    *1. In the listener.ora:*
    Defining the listener process is done in two parts.
    The information contained in each listener differs!!!
    The first part is as follows:
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))  <---  *ADD THIS LINE
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhostname)(PORT = 1521))
      )The seoncd part is as follows:
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
      (SID_LIST = 
        (SID_DESC =
          (GLOBAL_DBNAME = YOUR_GLOBAL_DBNAME)
          (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0)  <-- THIS IS YOUR ORACLE_HOME
          (SID_NAME = YOUR_SID)                            <-- SID
        (SID_DESC =                                              <--- ADD THIS LINE
          (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)                          <--- ADD THIS LINE
          (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <--- ADD THIS LINE AND EDIT TO YOUR ORACLE_HOME
          (PROGRAM = extproc)                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
          (ENV = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")                  <--- ADD THIS LINE
        )                                                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
      )*2. In the tnsnames.ora you need to add the following entry:*
    *(The KEY value entered must be match to the KEY value entered int the listener.ora file!)*
    EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
      (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))
        (CONNECT_DATA =
          (SID = PLSExtProc)
          (PRESENTATION = RO)
      )Finally you need to restart your listiner. After restarting there will be a service called "PLSExtProc" in your listener.
    This are only examples for extproc configuration, your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora can be differs.
    FIRST MAKE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL tnsnames.ora AND listener.ora FILES
    For more information please check metalink note 68061.1 "EXTPROC: Creating External Procedures on Windows NT"

    You didn't specify a database version, but if you are 10g or higher, it's quite straightforward using an external job type in DBMS_SCHEDULER. Funnily enough i'm looking at something similar myself at the moment.

  • Maxl within Windows Batch File

    Hello,
       I am trying to schedule an Automatic Essbase Archiving command . Function is to Disable connects , Archive , Unarchive and Enable connects . I know the Maxl commands which perform this action but just wanted to make sure how to portray this within a Windows Batch file.
    Within the Batch file , abc.bat can I insert those commands . To enter the shell we need essmsh command , but I didnt wanted to get into decrypting , encrypting the ID etc to do that . So is there a way to get it done within the Windows batch file ?
    Thanks !!

    Yes its Straight forward case ,create a batch file which call the maxl script.The batch file should contain the user id and password of Essbase and the maxl script should contain the parameters of Essbase archiving
    The content of batch file for Essbase archiving process
    echo off
    set ESSUSER=admin
    Set ESSPWD=Password
    set ESSSERVER=localhost
    set ESSAPP=Sample
    set ESSDB=Basic
    SET ESSBASE SERVER PATH=D:\Hyperion\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseServer
    set MaxlScript=D:\Hyperion\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\Essbaseserver\essbaseserver1\bin
    essmsh "D:\Archieve.mxl" %ESSUSER% %ESSPWD% %ESSSERVER%
    ===================================================================================================
    Maxlscript Content for Archieving
    spool on to "D:/bck.log";
    set timestamp on;
    login $ESSUSER $ESSPWD on $ESSSERVER;
    display session all;
    alter system kill request all;
    alter system logout session all force;
    export database $essApp.$essDB all data to server data_file 'd:\alldata.txt';
    alter database $essApp.$essDB force archive to file "D:/sample.arc";
    alter database $essApp.$essDB end archive;
    spool off;
    logout;
    exit;
    Similarly can you create batch files for Cube restoration .I hope the above example helps you

    You should use a brute-force algorithm on the on/off switch on your pc. I suggest a rate of 30 hits per minute.

    grc.com has a program (very small) that does it. The program is called "wizmo" and is written in Assembly.
    If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP you can get a program in MS Windows Resource Kit called "shutdown.exe" but the program does only the shutdown job. You must manually turn the machine off.
