Running universal installer from Dos batch file

Trying to a script an unattended install for a couple of Oracle client products (namely 9i client and Oracle Workflow Builder). My script runs the relavent setup.exe with a responsefile and silent option. This is working fine but the control is returning from setup.exe before the install has completed. The setup.exe goes on to complete ok but I have no way of controlling when to start the next install in the script. I have tried playing with BOOSTRAP=NO option in the ORAPARAMS.ini file but this does not have any effect. Any ideas anyone?

How to run 11g Form from a batch file (.bat) !

Hi,
Previously, I run my Form 6i from a batch file (with Windows Schedular Tasks) as below;
E:\orant\bin\ifrun60.exe e:\lock.fmx
This form lock some items on a certain date (with the help of Windows Schedular Task).
How can this possible in Forms 11g ?
Kindly guide !
Regards.
Vick.

Well are you talking about doing that on a free standing/developer machine or are you thinking of on the
server? In any case forms6i was a native application and forms11 is a web application that requires weblogic, even on the developer machine.
I think you will have to start from square one describing what you are trying to do.
Soapbox: I really think if forms "went back" to having a native deployment option it would be highly treasured. Here is a case where we are still running 6i for that reason. We have a situation where they interview clients at another location using a laptop. The laptop form brings up successive question screens, which questions are asked of the clients and their responses recorded. If the interview data is lost we cannot bring these people back and do it over. In the meantime the wifi connecting back to the database server can go bad. It can get over-loaded, it can just crap out. The firewalls on the way can decide rightly or wrongly to time the connection out. There's a bunch of ways the connection can get dropped. So what we do is that form saves a copy of the data to the disk in a file before it tries to submit it to the database, which could fail. So we have a backup. Can't easily do that in 11. I have yet to have gotten webutil to work. It's a mobile option that is becoming popular and forms should do it, have the ability for the form to run independently on the client including an ability to save data and of course if you saved it, people will want to be able to sync it back to the database when the client is reconnected.

Run a MS DOS batch file from the client

Hi,
I created a java source to run a bat file, the folder is loacted in the Database server.
(Not in application server)
create or replace and compile java source named execcommand as
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ExecCommand{
public static void run(String cmdstr) throws IOException, InterruptedException
try {
int rtn;
cmdstr = "cmd /c " + cmdstr;
Process prcs = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmdstr);
while (prcs.getInputStream().read() != -1 ) {}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I called the java source from the procedure
create or replace procedure run_batfile is
begin
execcommand(cmdtext => 'e:\services\genPDF.bat');
dbms_output.put_line('file created successfully');
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line(sqlcode || sqlerrm);
end run_batfile;
But the bat is not executing (The bat file is to generate a PDF file ). Bu when i executing this from my PC (Client PC) directly on the RUN , its generating the PDF file in the server.
What could be the problem, What should be the path in the procedure,
Shall i create any virtual directory ?
Thanks in advance,
Rizly

Hi Justin ,
Sorry for the late replay.
I am running Oracle on Windows.
The MS DOS Batch file is to convert XML file to PDF format. It is a Java Application.
also it is a batch process, thats why i created a batch file for that. I am using FOP to convert XML to PDF.
FOP is in the e:\services folder of the Database Server machiene. XML file is also in the same forlder and I need to generate the PDF file also in the same machiene.
<<- You have a client machine. What do you mean by "executing this from my PC (Client PC) directly on the RUN , its generating the PDF file in the server.">>
I have mapped the e:\services folder in my client machience, so i am accessible to the genPDF.bat file that is in the 'e:\services' folder of the DB Server. When i run the bat file from my PC as Start > Run e:\services\genPDF.bat . The PDF file has generated in the DB Server machien.
I dont have the copy of the batch file in client machiene, but i have mapped to my client machiene.
Thanks again,
Rizly

Irregular delay while running a dos batch file using a servlet class

i used RunTime( ) class to execute a dos-batch file containing some commands like changing the directory, running an exe(executable.exe) file...etc in a servlet class. while this servlet class is invoked, the exe file(executable.exe) is run after irregular delay at different trials.
Note: When this batch file is run in a stand alone java class, it is working fine.
what can be the possible cause of this prob? Help me in this.

It's ok - I've found the answer.
I'll post it here for anyone else who is interested.
The problem stemmed from the fact that I had to put the path to javaw.exe in quotes, as the batch file is dynamically generated from the user's environment, and then run. The user's system properties gives a path to java home using a full path name, which WinNT/Win2K doesn't like.
The following batch file content solves it, closing the DOS box after starting javaw.exe. Before this part of my batch file, there is just some file copying that goes on for the autoupdate process.
set PATH=%PATH%;"D:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1\bin"
start /B javaw.exe -Dmyapp.home=C:\myapp myapp.client.MyAppClient subSys
exit
The parameter subSys is just a command line parameter that MyApp.java looks for, so not relevant for everyone.
/B prevents a second DOS box from opening.
exit simply closes the DOS box once the javaw.exe process has started.
Too easy! Although I can't believe how difficult it was to find information about this. Hopefully it will be of benefit to others.

Scheduling unix shell scripts from windows using DOS batch files

Hi,
I want to schedule unix shell scrips using windows scheduled. I have the option of scheduling the DOS batch files. But not able to connect to telnet using DOS. Please let me know if there is an option.

Drive letters are user specific. When you run jboss it runs as you, with your shared drives. When you run it as a service, it runs as guest or another user so your drive letters are meaningless.
Either setup the user or use UNC

Running java program from DOS

I have just installed JDK 5.0 (update 4) and have tried writing a small demo program. The .class module is created ok but when invoking java I get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. I am running java from a DOS batch file with one command of c:\progra~1\java\jdk15~1.0_0\java %1. A similar batch file is used to invoke javac which works.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

You can't run a Java program from DOS, in fact you can't even install a JRE under that old operating system as Java requires a 32 bit or 64 bit operating system architecture which DOS never offered.
But on the off chance you mean a command prompt from Windows...
Check your classpath, most likely you forgot to add the current directory to that.

How could I have a VI execute a DOS batch file?

I need to update the PC's hardware timeclock and the Windows clock via a VI front panel. If I can update hardware and windows timeclocks from a DOS prompt (TIME/NEW TIME), is there a way to provide a LV interface for the same operation? If a VI could run a DOS batch file, having the operator enter a new time in a DOS prompt window is the next best thing.
Thanks,
Jeff Bledsoe

Have you tried right clicking the VI and selecting Help?
I found the online example by selecting help. I'm using LV 5.1 and I've noticed that offline help is not as detailed as it is with LV 7 Student Edition (I have student edition at home).
In my latest attempts, I have the string "command.com /c time" wired to the command line input of system exec.vi. I get the dos prompt and a request for a new time.
To avoid the operator having to enter the time in the DOS window, I tried passing carriage returns and a time update value in the command line input. It didn't work. Do I have to add a system exec.vi for each command line entry and concatenate the vi's somehow?
Thanks,

I'll manage he time through windows utility of scheduling task.. Let me know how to execute the .sql file from a batch file.
Thanks
Tripti

Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

My MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

A: my MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when logging in, and I decided to reinstall OS X Lion. When running the installer from OS X Recovery, it gave the error message "An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running this application again."

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.

How do I stop ODI if my DOS BATCH file flags an error?

I have a DOS batch file as the first step in my ODI package. How do I send a code to ODI to tell it that it has failed and to stop processing the rest of the package? I was told I could use an ODI variable to accomplish this but not sure how.
Also, how do I pass a semaphore/flag an error in my DOS batch file to ODI ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I tried to search for this info in John's blog: http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/search?q=error
but was not able to find it.
:)

In your package 1st step is OS Command then some other steps involved, right ?
In that case you can have your package like this
OS Command (first step) ---------OK--------------> 2nd step -------------------> 3rd step
So your 2nd step will run only when the 1st step is successful, it will not start 2nd step as 1st itself has failed .
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Installing Oracle 11gR2 client from a batch file and it returns before done

Hello,
While installing Oracle 11gR2 client on XP and 7 from a batch file. When it launches the OUI from the batch file, it returns to the batch file before the installer finishes. So, there is no way for my script to know when the installer is done, or to glean a return code to test for success. This is particularly annoying...
I've also used the "call" command to force my batch file to wait, to no avail. Anyone have any clues about this one?
Thanks in advance!
--Robert

Srini,
Awesome! Worked like a charm.
Many thanks!

Input to an executable jar from a batch file

Hi, I have created an executable jar program to receive the input during runtime from a batch file. I have tried to run the program by passing arguments at runtime but the code doesn't seem to execute. Can anyone help me out to pass an argument to the java program using the batch file. The flow of my project is -> The batch file triggers the executable jar file (I am able to execute till this !) -> The input to the executable jar file should be fetched from the arguments given in the batch file which will be taken as the input for the java program.

My java code prompts the user to enter the data but the batch file when executed executes the code but does not wait for the user input. This is the message my batch file displays when executed.
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\BatchTool>java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar Program.jar -o true
Enter custom directory :
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\BatchTool>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .
If I press any key the program exits
Is there an option to give the input via batch code ? My doubt is not in the java code. Its the batch file which triggers the code and i want the batch command which will trigger the input to the code being executed.
Is there a way to give the input to this batch file ?
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\BatchTool>java -Xms512M -Xmx512M -jar Program.jar -o true * Can i replace this code with an input for the java code ? *
