How to run an VB script from PL/SQL

hi all,
i am new to PL/SQL.
i am writting a procedure in PL/SQL where i want to run a macro in VB script through my code.
how can i do this?
TIA
Abhishek

PL/SQL executes on the server (unless this is a Forms question) and VBScript is normally part of a web application, in which case I don't see this working.

How I run a shell script from the scheduler on 10.2.0.2.0 ?

Hello Oracle People,
I'd like to run a shell script from the Scheduler in my 10g database.
Right now it is a simple shell script.
Eventually it will wrap RMAN commands to back up my DB.
I wrote a simple pl/sql script to create a job:
-- cr_job10.sql
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
job_name => 'my_backup_job',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/h/oracle/scripts/tst.sh',
start_date => '06-SEP-07 5.33.00PM US/Pacific',
repeat_interval => 'FREQ=DAILY',
end_date => '08-SEP-07 4.00.00PM US/Pacific',
enabled => TRUE,
comments => 'My Backup Job');
END;
I see no errors when I run the above procedure.
I checked DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS and the job is in there.
The scheduler, though, errors out with an error which I see in a trace file:
/h/oracle/admin/orcl/bdump/orcl_j000_22396.trc

I googled on this:

There, I see some evidence that I need to configure something inside
of Oracle to run shell scripts from the scheduler, but possibly just
for machines running windows. I'm running Solaris.
Do any of you know what I need to configure inside of Oracle to
run shell scripts from the scheduler?
-Owen

Hello people,
I should have added this bit of information:
"The script runs fine from oracle's crontab."
"The script runs fine from a shell owned by oracle."
I'm getting responses telling me to check my env variables and permissions
which would be helpful to a UNIX novice.
I have a feeling that no one is using the scheduler to run RMAN scripts.
Tim Hall suggested I take a close look at these files:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/extJob
Currently I'm setup like this:

I am focused on this error:
ORA-27369: job of type EXECUTABLE failed with exit code: 274662
And I am focused on this exit code: 274662
What does 274662 mean?
If the Scheduler gives me an error like "274662" rather than some English,
it's obvious to me the Scheduler is a POS and I should not use it.
And of course,
If I cannot run RMAN from Oracle Scheduler, I'll use cron.

How to run a unix script from oracle warehouse Builder

Hi,
can any one share the information about, running the unix script or scripts using oracle warehouse builder.
Regards,
Ak

One way is define a workflow. Inside the workflow you put
1)an external process that "points to" the shell script and then
2)put the mapping
The external process must have the "COMMAND" parameter set to the name of the shell script. If the script has parameters you must put them in the "PARAMETERS LIST" separated by "?" (for example, ?par1?par2).
The path where OWB executes the external process I think is the ORACLE_HOME of the OWB.
f you don't use workflow, you can try with this more complex solution. I tried with 9i and OWB 9.2 and it's working well.
You create an autonomous procedure (within a package or not) :
CREATE PROCEDURE Extract_Email_List
DECLARE
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
And use the sys.shell script that you need your dba/unix admin to install first of all, with a call like that.
sys.shell('sh ' || txt_dir_name || '/send_email_marketing.sh ' || txt_dir_name || ' ' || email_addr );
Then you import your procedure into OWB and use it in your mapping with the "pre-mapping" icon (you can set parameters for your proc with constants if you want).
To implement sys.shell, go to metalink and find "Note:168065.1" - "How to call a UNIX shell script from PL/SQL".
Once it's done once, it's not so bad. But I would still recommend the workflow approach also..
I hope this helps.

How to pass arguments to a Unix shell script from PL/SQL?

We want to run a Linux shell script from PL/SQL (10g). This is our code to run the script only and it works fine.
dbms_scheduler.create_job
          job_name=>'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
          job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',
          job_action=>'/vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/spell_check.sh',
          enabled=>TRUE,
          auto_drop=>FALSE
        );Now we have a requirement to pass 2 arguments to the .sh file. In the .sh file the 2 arguments are defined as $1 and $2.
I used this method.
dbms_scheduler.create_job
          job_name=>'RUN_LINUX_SCRIPT_' || v_job_name,
          job_type=>'EXECUTABLE',
          job_action=>'/vol0/FileLoadDir/Bank/DATA_FILES/spell_check2.sh',

Copying SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel with formatting

I need to copy a SQL Script into Excel in order to develop some VBA code. Is there any nice way that I can copy SQL Script from Oracle SQL Developer into Excel and retain its formatting? I am a stickler for having legible, readable SQL and like to have all my columns lined up and aliases lined up. When we used to use SQL Navigator, the tab formatting seemed to copy and paste just fine. Now that we have migrated to Oracle SQL Developer, the formatting seems to get all messed up.
And suggestions are greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for an answer.
Thanks.
PSULionRP

I suppose you want a real tabulator instead of spaces. You can configure this in the preferences (SQL Formatter - Oracle). You have to apply it then to your existing code (e.g. CTRL-F7), but new code should get it right from the start.
Hope that helps,
K.

Unable to run OpenScript Functional Scripts from OTM

Hi,
I am unable to run OpenScript Functional Scripts from OTM, but the same script is running successfully on OpenScript.
I have a script which has all my functions (say Script A) and I am calling these functions from a different script (Script B) and even this script (Script B) uses couple of Databanks.
Added both the scripts to OTM and when I run the script (Script B) which is calling the functions on OTM, I see the below error message.
Error Message: Child script with alias "Proceure_ To_Pay_Functions" not found. Add to the script "Proceure_To_Pay" a script asset with alias "Proceure_ To_Pay_Functions"
But the child script (Script A) with functions is added as a script asset in OpenScript to the calling script (Script B) and this script is running fine from OpenScript.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Satya

Hi Deepu,
It worked and able to run the scripts developed in OpenScript from OTM. Thanks for your help!!
But I see another problem where when I try to run the script from OTM, I see a window Interactive Services Detection with a Message
"A program running on this computer is trying to display a message" "The Program might need information from you or your permission to complete a task." with Two Options
-> View The Message
-> Ask me Later
When I click on View the Message, I can see my application running by script but my desktop is not visible.
There is another window with Return to Desktop option, when I click on this I can see my Desktop.
Can I not see both my Desktop and application running on the same screen?
Please help!!
Thanks,
Satya

Call a unix script from pl/sql package

Hi,
Using 11.2.0.3 on AIX.
Is it possible to call unix script from pl/sql package?
I am cretaing a file in a directory but would like this to automatically be written to an archive directory as well.
Could either use 2 utl_file.put_lines to 2 separate directories or 1 utl_file and cal script to archive file in another directory.?
Thoughts?
Thanks
