Schedule workbook using with Unix shell script

Hi,
Can we schedule workbook using with Unix shell script?
Thanks,
Jay

I can't imagine how.
1. You can schedule Disco workbooks via Disco itself.
2. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via batch scheduler in Windows running Disco Desktop directly (or can user VBasic).
3. You can schedule Disco workbooks to run and output in different file formats automatically via a Java program running the Java Command Line interface.
Moving forward, Oracle has announced that with a further interfacing of Disco with XML Publisher, you'll be able to use Oracle Apps concurrent manager and scheduling. But that's coming supposedly at the end of this year.
And I think that's about it.

Using a UNIX shell script to run a Java program (packaged in a JAR)

Hi,
I have an application (very small) that connects to our database. It needs to run in our UNIX environment so I've been working on a shell script to set the class path and call the JAR file. I'm not making a lot of progress on my own. I've attached the KSH (korn shell script) file code.
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to set the class path and / or call the JAR file.
loggedinuser="$(whoami)"
CFG_DIR="`dirname $0`"
EXIT_STATUS=${SUCCESS}
export PATH=/opt/java1.3/bin:$PATH
OLDDIR="`pwd`"
cd $PLCS_ROOT_DIR
java -classpath $
EXIT_STATUS=$?
cd $OLDDIR
echo $EXIT_STATUS
exit $EXIT_STATUS

Hi,
I have an application (very small) that connects to
our database. It needs to run in our UNIX environment
so I've been working on a shell script to set the
class path and call the JAR file.
#!/bin/sh
exec /your/path/to/java -cp your:class:paths:here -MoreJvmOptionsHere your.package.and.YourClass "$@"Store this is a file of any name, e.g. yuckiduck, and then change the persmissions to executechmod a+x yuckiduckThe exec makes sure the shell used to run the script does not hang around until that java program finishes. While this is only a minor thing, it is nevertheless infinite waste, because it does use some resources but the return on that investment is 0.
CFG_DIR="`dirname $0`"You would like to fetch the directory of the installation out of $0. This breaks as soon as someone makes a (soft) link in some other directory to this script and calls it by its soft linked name. Your best bet if you don't know a lot of script programming is to hardcode CFG_DIR.
OLDDIR="`pwd`"
cd $PLCS_ROOT_DIRVery bad technique in UNIX. UNIX supports the notion of a "current directory". If your user calls this program in a certain directory, you should assume that (s)he does this on purpose. Making your application dependent on a start in a certain directory ignores the very helpful concept of 'current directory' and is therefore a bug.
cd $OLDDIRThis has no effect at all because it only affects the next two lines of code and nothing else. These two lines, however, don't depend on the current directory. In particular this (as the cd above) does not change the current directory for the interactive shell your user is working in.
echo $EXIT_STATUS
exit $EXIT_STATUSEchoing the exit status is an interesting idea, but if you don't do this for a very specific purpose, I recommend not to do this for the simple reason that no other UNIX program does it.

Unix shell script to do a cold backup

i want to do a coldback using a unix shell script.
the db capacity is around 12 Tb
wen the backup is done i need to zip it too.at this moment i dont want to copy to the disk.
kindly help me regarding this
thanks in advance
NK

i used something like this until recently:
#!/bin/bash
umask 0077
export ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/webdb1"
export PATH="$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export NLS_LANG="AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1"
db="dbname"
pipe="export.pipe"
file="$db-`date "+%Y-%m-%d"`.dmp"
if [ ! -p $pipe ]; then
## could exist but not be a pipe
rm -f $pipe
mknod $pipe p || (echo "could not create pipe $pipe"; exit 1)
fi
gzip -c > $file.gz < $pipe &
exp system/****@$db FULL=Y CONSISTENT=Y FILE=$pipe DIRECT=Y GRANTS=Y
you could of course also use zip|bzip2|pbzip2 or whatever.

PLSQL job and unix shell scripting

I want to be a plsql developer, now reading job ads for the technical requirement.
This is a typical plsql job ad:
"Technically those applying MUST have a minimum 5 years Oracle PL/SQL design and development experience combined with 3 years Informatica/ ETL exposure. You should be comfortable working off Unix platforms and associated *Shell Scripting* and database performance tuning. Experience with vendor products surrounding the compliance area such as Mantas or Actimize is highly beneficial. "
Generally, do plsql developers work with shell scripting on a basic level, like echoing, saving files, looping etc, well, this level? : Unix Programming for dummies [http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Dummies-James-Edward-Keogh/dp/0764500619|http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Dummies-James-Edward-Keogh/dp/0764500619] . Er...this kind of of shell programming is very easy, why bother even putting the requirement in the ad? It's like saying you need to know primary school maths for the job.
Or plsql developers work with unix programming at this kernel programming level, like semaphores, signal, UNIX Systems Programming: Communication, Concurrency and Threads? [http://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Systems-Programming-Communication-Concurrency/dp/0130424110/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256350650&sr=1-6|http://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Systems-Programming-Communication-Concurrency/dp/0130424110/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1256350650&sr=1-6]
I got plsql and sql tuning requirement under control, now need your help to know what level of expertise is required for unix shell scripting. What plsql developers generally do with unix shell scripting? Can you recommend a book to read?
Many advance thanks.

Generate RMAN backup Script using unix shell script

Hello,
Could somebody give me a unix shell script that would generate RMAN script based on some user defined parameters in a config file.
e.g.
rman.conf
CHANNELS=4
USE_CATALOG=Y
DEVICE='sbt_tabe'
etc.,
many thanks,
kam

You can actually encapsulate the RMAN commands inside the shell script.
However if you really want to create a seperate RMAN script file, you can use the unix shell's "echo" command to write set variables to a file.
Thus, for example,
echo "rman target / catalog rman/rmanpassword@crcat" > RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup database plus archivelog" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
echo "backup archivelog all" >> RMAN_Script.rmn
creates RMAN_Script.rmn with 3 commands.

Executing Unix shell scripts with DBMS_SCHEDULER

I have the following Unix shell script create_backup_file.sh:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ssh [email protected] /usr/bin/touch/app_home/home/trotestbat/scripts/TRO_batch_complete_`date +%d-%m-%Y-%H%M`
If I execute this from the command prompt it creates the file on the remote server.
I've used dbms_scheduler to try and execute this from Oracle:
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM
program_name => 'CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,program_type => 'EXECUTABLE'
,program_action => '/APP/TORPEDO/DTE/SCRIPTS/create_backup_file_tro.sh'
,number_of_arguments => 0
,enabled => TRUE
,comments => NULL
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'DTE.TESTAGAIN'
,start_date => TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('2010/05/17 16:09:24.710789 +01:00','yyyy/mm/dd
hh24:mi:ss.ff tzh:tzm')
,repeat_interval => NULL
,end_date => NULL
,program_name => 'DTE.CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,comments => NULL
END;
The problem I have is that scheduler executes the shell script and creates the file but it never completes the job. The status of the job is permanently 'RUNNING'. Why is the scheduler not returning a completed status?

the "infinite" script is usually caused by a prompt (script pauses for a user input).
Please keep in mind that executing script via scheduler is not the same as manually via prompt.
1. the script runs as ORACLE user ID (or whatever you specified using DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_credential or/and "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora")
2. the environment variables are probably not the same.
My wild guess is that you never ran SSH using "oracle" UID and thus it prompts for permission to add the remote computer’s fingerprint to the user’s ~/.ssh/known_hosts file - since it is a script, it just hangs and waits for input.
Did you try to login to unix box as oracle uid and run the script manually?

Sending email attachments using unix shell script

hi
I want to send report generated my spooled file as attachment using unix shell script.
Can somebody help me out ?
many thanks

thanks a tonn it worked.
but i have another issue is it possible to add names in CC also ?
Also here is my code which spools the output of SP to a txt file. the File name is generated dynamically.
as shown below:
I need to send this generated file as attachement.
how do I do this? Here the shell script
=========================================================
#!/bin/sh
ORA_USER=scott
ORA_PWD=tiger
#Get the input parameter
if [ ! "$1" ]; then
STR="NULL"
else
STR="'"$1"'"
fi
#echo "exec pkg1($STR);"
#Connecting to oracle
sqlplus -s <<EOF
$ORA_USER/$[email protected]
---sql plus enviornment settings
set linesize 160
set pagesize 60
set serveroutput on size 1000000 for wra
set feedback off
set termout off
column dcol new_value mydate noprint
select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') dcol from dual;
spool &mydate.report.txt
exec pkg1($STR);
spool off
EOF
exit
=========================================================
the file name will take sysdate as name so that every time a new file will be generated.
this file I need to send as attachment.

Error while trying to execute a unix shell script from java program

Hi
I have written a program to execute a unix shell script in a remote machine. I am using J2ssh libraries to estabilish the session connection with the remote box.The program is successfully able to connect and authenticate with the box.
The runtime .exec() is been implemented to execute the shell script.I have given below the code snippet.
try {
     File file_location = new File("/usr/bin/");
     String file_location1 = "/opt/app/Hyperion/scripts/daily";
     String a_mib_name = "test.sh";
     String cmd[] = new String[] {"/usr/bin/bash", file_location1, a_mib_name};
     Runtime rtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = rtime.exec(cmd, null, file_location);
System.out.println( "Connected to the server1" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = br.readLine();
while(line !=null)
System.out.println(line);
line = br.readLine();
br.close();
p.getErrorStream ().close ();
p.getOutputStream().close();
int retVal = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("wait " + retVal);
//session.executeCommand("ls");
catch (IOException ex) {
I get an error message

Need Help in creating Unix Shell Script for database

Would be appreciable if some one can help in creating unix shell script for the Oracle DB 10,11g.
Here is the condition which i want to implement.
1. Create shell script to create the database with 10GB TB SPACE and 3 groups of redo log file(Each 300MB).
2. Increase size of redolog file.
3. Load sample schema.
4. dump the schema.
5. Create empty db (Script should check if db already exists and drop it in this case).
6. Create backup using rman.
7. restore backup which you have backed up.

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Reg: UNIX shell script at File Adapter

Hi all,
I am doing a File to file scenario and using command line arguments in Sending file adapter. I am using UNIX shell script ".sh" file for executing the command.
I gave the following path at "Run OS command before message processing" parameter:
/temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
and this file contains following code:
<b>#!/user/bin/sh cp /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_in.txt /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_input_copy4.txt</b>
I put the source file, FILOSC004_in.txt and shell script files at the respective paths.
If I give "cp" command directly in command line it is working fine. But I could not execute this with shell script. Can any body give me the reason where I gone wrong.
Regards,
Pavani.

Hi,
can you try this,
bash /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
let me know.
hey you can check the blog below to catch the OS errors,

Call Unix Shell Script From OBIEE

Hi All,
Is it possible to do a call to a Unix Shell Script with the Action Framework from OBIEE.
Thanks in Advance

I dont think so but we can go for it instead of BI side. Try to port the same functionality on shell script side, so that the script can identify your report using tail of nqquery log and execute the rest of your lines in shell script.
This can doable and works as expected. If at all you are going with my suggestion you can go for a small key word to identify your report instead of that lengthy logical query.
Pls mark if helps

How to execute unix shell script in webdynpro?

Ree,
1. Find SSH client for windows, then execute SSH with Runtime.exec() on local host with arguments like remote host, auth, command to execute etc.
2. Get SSH client in Java and execute SSH commands on remote host using pure Java API.
Don't ask me for links, Google works today, I checked this
