Running an SQR using HOST command

We are using Forms 10g and want to call sqr using the host command. The only way we can get this to work is to put the sqr call in a shell script which also contains all of the necessary environment variables and then use host to run that shell script.
I've tried putting the environment variables in default.env to no avail.
(This is a UNIX environment).
Is it possible to run an sqr directly using the host command?
host('sqr .....')
Thanks in advance!

nope. You can use host command. And modify the shell script in such
a way that the results are written to a text file and read the result using
text io

Run shell script using Host Command

How do I run Unix Shell Script using Host command?
Please help me......

Are you running the shell script from the same box as the forms are deployed in? If not, then HOST call will try to execute on the machine where the forms are hosted(App server).

Use Host command in Oracle forms 6i

hi
all
i use Oracle forms 6i i run in a web and in that i have connect one server so,
i have to use Host Command and i have to fire this command
host (' net use \\windchillsvr\e\jyotionline /user:dwg_users dwg_users');
But it's Not Connect
My Forms in run in Web
so help

JavaBean does d othe job for you but it requires signing process; I used it when I was working on forms6i for our project.
I could use another approach that is the file type command executable which it stays in client's PC to do it and it does not requires signing at all since I am now working on the Java EE project for downloading and launching the third party tool in client's PC.
I plan to write a article for forms use, which could do all the heavy WebUtil can do, but not need to go thru the signing process.

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.

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?

Using host command

hi all i am shayan and again prob:-(
i am using oracle 9iDs and forms are run on the web......i had used host command...but it is only open the program on the server....for example i haved open calculator with host command but it is only open on server not on the local computer

Forms was originally designed as a client/server product. This means that functions like HOST, TEXT_IO, OLE, etc were expected to perform a task on the client machine. Well, this really hasn't changed with the deployment moving to the web. However, the difference is that the client to the database is now the middle tier and these tasks are executed there.
To perform actions on the end-user (client) machine you will need to use a signed Java Bean. As mentioned by harmvos, Oracle offers WebUtil as an add-on to Forms if you don't want to write your own Java Bean. It can be used with Forms 9.0.4 and newer. It can be used with 902, but since 902 is no longer supported, this isn't recommended.

Problem using Host command to call a batch file

Hi all,
I am trying to call a batch file with the Host command:
host c:\test\u.bat
where u.bat calls unix2dos.exe with a parameter of d_unix.txt.
Bat file looks like this:
C:\test\unix2dos.exe d_unix.txt
PAUSE
The bat file gets called fine, but the following error occurs (in the cmd prompt):
T:\globals\ORACLE8\bin>C:\test\unix2dos.exe d_unix.txt
d_unix.txt:
Can't open file
T:\globals\ORACLE8\bin>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .
Running the batch file directly in windows works fine. The batch file also runs fine from the Host command if I remove the d_unix.txt parameter.
The file d_unix.txt file is in the same directory as the batch file and as unix2dos.exe.

How to run a script from Oracle Form (Beside using HOST command)

I would like to run a script from Forms 6.0. I know that we can actually issue this command :
host('plus80.exe' username/password@connect_string @c:\scriptname);
BUT, is there any other alternative ?

Sqlplus is a different program, so one way or the other you have to leave Forms to run sqlplus. What is you objection against HOST?
You can also run sqlplus from the database, but again you need a stored java procedure to call sqlplus (sort of HOST command that runs in the database).
Francois' solution works if your script just has a query to run, but if you have specific sqlplus commands (spool etc.) forms_ddl is probably not a solution.

Use Host command in Oracle Database Trigger

I need to run Host command from a database trigger in order to execute a sh file in a Solaris, Unix, environment. How can I do it? The database environment is in Solaris and the database is 10g.
Please let me know as soon as possible.

Hi,
read this <http://devtrigger.blogspot.com.br/2012/08/svn-backup-on-unix-or-solaris.html>
Or
you can to run in nohup. For example
You can a script with the command vi about your trigger and run with the sintaxe bellow:
nohup sqlplus "/as sysdba" @script.sql &
Where "script.sql" is the name of the your file.
Kind regards,

How to run an applescript using unix command

Hi All,
Can any one help me in giving me the command for running an apple script thru postupgrade shell file in other words i wana run an apple script while running my new installer that will upgrade the old version of application but while installing i want to run an applescript so as i know ill have to give that applescript path in the postupgrade script but how to run it while installation and where to keep it (is it postupgrade). May be in short how can i run apple script thru unix command.

Use the osascript command.
In my installer, I use the DropDMG program to build my DMG disk image. It doesn't quit automatically, so I have to do the following:
osascript -e "tell application \"DropDMG\" to quit"
Type "man osascript" for more information.

Using HOST command to copy files

Platform is Win network (98/NT/2k Prof), application is loading a picture into a blob field. Button executes the get_file_name built in to let the user select a file from the network, but code must copy the file to a directory that is on the oracle server so that the bfilename function can access a local directory. Then I can use dbms_lob.loadfromfile to actually load the picture.
The problem is that I cannot formulate a correct command for the HOST built in that will copy the file. I use message to display the command variable and it looks right, but the file does not get copied and the HOST command does not return an error.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Mark.

Hi Mark,
You can use the library d2kwutil. It should be in a directory of the Developer demo's.
In this pll-file, there a procedure which enable you to copy, delete and move files on Windows.
Hope this helps!

Ah,it's in \%orahome%\tools\devdem60\demos\forms\,I got it,it's Win_api_utility procedure,it has copy_file,delete_file etc.

How to run batch programs using SUBMIT command without any interaction need

Hello ABAP gurus,
I have created a batch program in SE38 which calls many other SE38 Programs (Reports).
I have used the command SUBMIT to call the sub programs. There are about 15 sub programs that this main batch program is calling.
It works fine, but after calling each subprogram it stops and I have to manually click on 'Back Button' in green on the sap screen to run the next program in the list. Like this I have to do 15 times to run all the programs in the batch.
Is there a way to avoid this manual intervention and make the program run all the sub programs on its own.
Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

Thanks Sampath for the response.
Yes I am using the option "AND RETURN". So it is coming out of each sub program, and it is at this stage it waits for me to click on 'backward green arrow' to continue to the next.
Here is the code I have used
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_F0005_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_DIVISION_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_COMPANY_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_CUSTOMER_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_BRANCH_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_BUS_UNIT_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_ADDRESS_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_CUSTOMER_GROUP_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_GROUP_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_PMT_TERMS_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_REGION_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
SUBMIT Z_AS_BI_TERRITORY_EXTRACT WITH S_DATE IN S_DATE WITH P_TEST = 'N' AND RETURN.
Any other suggestions or feedback will be appreciated.
