Scheduling a plsql procedure

I have a Pl/sQL procedure ex_proc which inturn calls a ex_function to generate a CSV file(test.csv) in the unix box in the location specified by creating a directory in the database as below
CREATE DIRECTORY dmpdir AS '/export/home'
directory created
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ex_proc AS
l_rows number;
begin
l_rows := ex_function_('select *
from table1 where rownum < 45
'MYDIR1',
test.csv');
I would like to schedule this procedure via a UNIX job to run every 15 Minutes
Pls suggest me how can i be achieved? In which location a Pl.sQL procedure be scheduled in unix box..
Many Thanks in advance

I see that the procedure is incomplete and wont compile as there is no END statement in it.
Please look for CRON jobs in unix around google, you can figure out how it can be achieved, but prior to that please validate the package....

Any idea about scheduling the sql script to run automatically??
How to execute this sql script from a plsql procedure??
Thanks

Hi all,
Thanks for all the replies. I have found the solution with external procedures.
Following is the complete step by step guide.
1. Create the OSCommand Java Class using the following statement:
connect as any user:
create or replace and compile java source named oscommand as
import java.io.*;
public class OSCommand{
public static String Run(String Command){
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command);
return("0");
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("Error running command: " + Command +
"\n" + e.getMessage());
return(e.getMessage());
2. Create the following Wrapper Function using the following statement:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION OSCommand_Run(Command IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'OSCommand.Run(java.lang.String) return int';
3. connect as sys
Execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.io.FilePermission', '<<ALL FILES>>','execute');
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'writeFileDescriptor', '*' );
execute dbms_java.grant_permission( 'FKHALID','SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'readFileDescriptor', '*' );
commit;
note: here fkhalid is the oracle user.
connect as fkhalid user:
Declare
expdp_cmd Varchar2(2000);
Begin
expdp_cmd := OSCommand_Run('cmd /c sqlplus fkhalid@mtcedwt/pwd @d:\ORA_DUMPS\mydbexp.sql');
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(expdp_cmd);
End;
In Unix
Set Serverout On
Declare
x Varchar2(2000);
Begin
x := OSCommand_Run('/home/test/myoscommand.sh')
DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(x);
End;
I will check the dbms_scheduler also and will let you know the results.

Calling Batch files in PLSQL Procedure

Hi all,
I am working on a PLSQL procedure and having issues when I am trying to call a batch file.
Issue:-
I have a procedure which have to kick off a batch file. And that batch file needs to run in Windows not in Unix box.
Can someone please help me out in providing some samples or anything?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Thank you rp0428 and sb92075,
I have tried to create a sample of what I am trying to get and so I have created the following code in a batch file and named as Check.bat:-
@set a=3
@set b=4
@set /a c=%a%+%b%
echo %c%
So based on those links you guys provided I have created an
Scheduler Job:-
BEGIN
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (job_name        => 'MYJOB1',
                           job_type        => 'EXECUTABLE', JOB_ACTION      => 'c:\Check.bat', enabled         => TRUE,comments        => 'runs Check.bat' );
END;
And the following Procedure :-
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE execute_bat_file
IS
BEGIN
   DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB ('MYJOB1', TRUE);
END execute_bat_file;
And used the following exec command:-
exec execute_bat_file;
I am getting the following error:-
Error starting at line 1 in command:
exec execute_bat_file
Error report:
ORA-27475: "ACTUATE.MYJOB1" must be a job
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_ISCHED", line 150
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER", line 441
ORA-06512: at "ACTUATE.EXECUTE_BAT_FILE", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1
27475. 00000 - "\"%s.%s\" must be a %s"
*Cause:    An object of the wrong type was specified. For example, a table
           could have been passed to the drop_job() procedure.
*Action:   Reissue a different command applicable to this object type or
           reissue the same command using an object of the valid type.
Can you guys please help with this?
Thank you once again

Using PLSQL procedure with parameter in AQ

hi,
we need to run a PLSQL procedure(asynchronously) with in parameters using oracle AQ.
can someone give me simple example/hint?
Many thanks

Since you mention dbms_job, can you use dbms_scheduler since you can pass in parms? You can schedule the job to run "now" and while it may have a slight delay starting up due to available processes for the scheduler and system load, it will run as soon as it can.
What are you trying to accomplish in your environment? I'm not following why you want to allow a user to schedule any DB procedure. A certain set yes, all, no.
You could create a generic AQ structure where it is passed some information regarding what procedure needs to run and what/where the parms are. This driver procedure would then be responsible for calling a random procedure via dynamic SQL. I've never tried passing parms to a procedure via dynamic SQL but recall reading you could do it. I wouldn't recommend this approach unless you have no better options though.

Running Plsql procedure using shell script

Dear All,
Dear All,
I have to generate reports weekly by using a plsql procedure.
For Exapmle : My Proc name is Weekly_report(i number).
Here i is the argument for which i need to run the proc 7 times as follows
exec weekly_report(1)
exec weekly_report(2)
exec weekly_report(3)
exec weekly_report(4)
exec weekly_report(5)
exec weekly_report(6)
exec weekly_report(7)
I need to run them parallely at a time so that time taken will be less. Is there any way doing this through shell script.
Thanks in asdvance.

I can't think of anything in the Oracle world left in the dustbin of history I miss less than shell scripts.
Why work in another language, why work in a tool that is non-portable, why have to deal with SysAdmins when dbms_scheduler is many times more capable?
Definitely DBMS_SCHEDULER. Shell scripting is obsolete with perhaps only a few very rare exceptions.+1: shell scripts suck.
DBMS_Scheduler allows you to setup the report procedures as programs that are executed at the same time in a single job (as steps in a scheduler chain). you can also setup email confirmation based on them successfully completing. All good stuff and not difficult to do.

The simplest way for plsql procedure to return multiple rows

Hi,
What is the simplest way for plsql procedure to return multiple rows (records). There are many combination of ways to do it but I am looking for a solution that is appropriate for plsql beginners. Many solutions use cursors, cursor variables, collections and more that kind of things that are complex on the face of it. Is it somehow possible to achieve the same with less effort?
Sample query would be: SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES;
I want to use returned rows in APEX to compose APEX SQL(in that context plsql) report.
It is enough to use just SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES query in APEX but I want to use plsql procedure for that.
Thank you!

Hi,
It depends :-).
With +...that is appropriate for plsql beginners...+ in mind... it still depends!
The list of techniques (ref cursors, cursor variables, collections, arrays, using explict SQL) you have referenced in your post can be made to work. but...
+Is it somehow possible to achieve the same with less effort?+ Less effort : That needs to be defined (measured). Especially in the context of pl/sql beginners (who is a beginner?) .
What is the level of "programming experience" ?
What is the level of understanding of "Relational Result set" as processible in Oracle?
If you are looking for
Process_the_set_of rows_in APEX () kind of capabilitywhich "abstracts/hides" relation database from developers when working on relation database, it may not be the best approach (at least strategically). Because I believe it already is abstracted enough.
I find REF CUROSOR most effective for such use, when the "begginer" has basic understanding of processing SQL result set .
So in a nut shell, the techniques (that you already are familiar with) are the tools available. I am not aware of any alternative tools (in pure Oracle) that will simplify / hide basics from develpers.

Business Event not triggering the PLSQL procedure.. What to do?

We need to call a plsql procedure when the GL Approval workflow has ended with approval. I thought i could do this by customizing the relevant business event.
We are on EBS 12.1.3 with RDBMS : 11.2.0.3.0.
I saw that the business event oracle.apps.gl.Journals.journal.approve was disabled currently. I enabled it and created a subscription for it. Subscription was a PLSQL procedure. Currently, for test purpose only thing it is doing is to insert a row into a table.
Business Event Subscription settings:
System: ORDEBS.SYSTEM.COM
Triggering Event
Source Type:Local
Event Filter: oracle.apps.gl.Journals.journal.approve
Execution Condition
Phase: 100
Status: Enabled
Rule Data: Message
Action Type:Custom
On Error: Stop and Rollback
Action
PL/SQL Rule Function: XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG.Get_Attributes
Priority: Normal
Documentation (Not sure what value to be given for these. I went with the below values.)
Owner: Company Name
Owner Tag: Custom Schema
Using the below query i can see that the business event is getting called when the approval happens (One row added each time approval happened). But I cant see any rows in the table where it should insert a row. What could be going wrong? How can i verify that the procedure has been called?
select * from WF_DEFERRED where corrid ='APPS:oracle.apps.gl.Journals.journal.approve'
Procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG
AS
PROCEDURE Get_Attributes
IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO xx.xx_test_table VALUES ('From BE');
COMMIT;
END Get_Attributes;
END XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG;

Thanks Alejandro. Now this is working.
Changes i made:
1. Added the WFERROR workflow as a subscription to this event. So i could see that the function i am calling from the event did not have proper signature.
2. Changed the function signature to have standard parameters like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG
AS
function subscription(p_subscription_guid in raw,
p_event in out nocopy wf_event_t) return varchar2 is
l_result varchar2(20);
begin
insert into xxvtv.xxvtv_test_table values ('From BE');
commit;
exception
when others then
wf_core.context('XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG','function subscription', p_event.getEventName(), p_event.getEventKey());
wf_event.setErrorInfo(p_event, 'ERROR');
return 'ERROR';
end subscription;
END XX_GL_APPROVE_BE_PKG;
3. Changed the owner name and owner tag both to the custom schema name (XX)

The Success message is as follows:
Article &DOCID. Created/Updated Successfully

Shivanand,
There's no need to post that much code when you could create a very short test case that demonstrates only the problem you are having.
You're using &NAME. notation on something that isn't a page or application item. You can't reference PL/SQL variables that way (or any other way) outside the PL/SQL scope. For your situation, you could create a page item named P55_DOCID and assign it a value in the PL/SQL process (:P55_DOCID := DOCID;), then reference &P55_DOCID. in HTML areas like the success message.

/Users/williamr: get_out_value.sh
Employee NULL =Note this substitutes the word NULL if no empno is passed, and it ignores error output or anything else by only looking for lines beginning '# ' and then taking the following word. Error messages will appear in the logfile. (In this example it probably doesn't need the NULL substitution because a missing parameter would cause a syntax error which the script will handle anyway, but it could be useful in more complex examples.)
For a production script you should probably use an OS authenticated account so you don't have to deal with password strings.

Executing sql from table with in plsql procedure

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have a table that stores sql statements. They are actually a set of rules that I want to apply to my application. My intention is to execute the statement in plsql.
EG a sql statment held in the table might be:
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
I am trying to call this from a plsql procedure, Ive CUT OUT some of the procedure task_rec.rule holds the statement above. The procedure is failing invalid SQL statement, I think the client_id_in may not be evaluating as the variable, passed into the procedure and constants_pkg.c_test_item not being taken from the constants pkg.
EG.
PROCEDURE create_additional_info_list(
client_id_in IN client.id%TYPE,
IS
result VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
task_rec.rule
INTO result;
END;
If I was to do below the code would work ok. However I require the rule to come from the table.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'select count(id) from item where item_id = ' || constants_pkg.c_test_item || ' and client_id = ' || client_id_in
INTO result;
Is there anyway constants_pkg.c_test_item and client_id_in can be evaluated as variables?

Not that I've tried this but, if possible, change the SQL in the table to have bind variable; e.g.,
'select count(id) from item where item_id = :1 and client_id = :2 ';
Then in the procedure
execute immediate task
INTO result
USING constants_pkg.c_test_item ,
client_id_in ;

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

Problem with database adapter on plsql procedure with in/out parameters

running BPEL 10.1.3.1 and using the database adapter on a plsql procedure with in/out parameters I get errors
the plsql procedure:
create or replace procedure proc_with_clob_inout_parameter(
p_string in varchar2,
p_clob in out clob)
is
begin
p_clob := p_string;
end proc_with_clob_inout_parameter;
In BPEL I call this procedure. When I only assign a value to the p_string parameters (in a BPEL assign) all is well. When I also assign a value to the p_clob parameter the error occurs:

In BPEL 10.1.2.0 this isn't a problem. I tested it against a 10.2.0.1 and a 10.2.0.2 database and in both situations I get the error with BPEL 10.1.3.1 and no error with BPEL 10.1.2.0
it appears to be a problem in the database adapter...
anyone with the same problems and/or a solution?

Not of any use to you, but we had exactly the same problem on Friday when we applied AS 10.1.2.2 Patchset on top of BPEL 10.1.2.0.2.
The clob in our pl/sql proc wan't declared as in/out but for some reasons JDeveloper had created a clob on the Output Parameter type in the db partner link xsd. I removed this and it worked. This code had been untouched , and working fine, for months.
I'll be raising an SR today.

Help with truncating a table using plsql procedure in different schema

I have a plsql procedure in schema A that truncates a table that is given in as parameter.
create or replace procedure truncate_table(schema, table_name)
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE '||schema||'.'||table_name;
end;
The above procedure has public execute grant.
I need to truncate a table in schema B. I have a plsql procedure in schema B that calls the truncate_table procedure and passes in the schema B table name.
Since the table is in schema B, should the delete grant on the table be given to user A or user B to truncate the table in schema B?
Thanks in advance.

Procedure created in schema A
create or replace
procedure truncate_table(l_schema varchar2, table_name varchar2) authid current_user
as
begin
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE '||l_schema||'.'||table_name;
end;from schema B
grant delete on table1 to Schema_A
from schema A
exec truncate_table('Schema_B','Table1');
Hope this helps.

Calling PLSQL Procedure with CLOB input parameter from JDBC

Hi..
I've got a PLSQL procedure with a CLOB object as input parameter:
function saveProject (xmldoc CLOB) RETURN varchar IS
I want to call that procedure from my JDBC Application as...
String data = "..."
CallableStatement proc = conn.prepareCall
("begin ? := saveProject (?); end;");
neither
proc.setCharacterStream(2, new StringReader(data, data.length());
nor
proc.setString(2, data);
will work.
The Application throws java.sql.Exception: ... PLS-00306 wrong
number or types of arguments in call 'SAVEPROJECT'
How can I use set setClob method?
The Problem is: with Oracles CLOB implementation I can't create
an Instance, and from the CallableStatement a can't get a
Locator for a CLOB-Object.
This CLOB stuff makes me really nuts!
please somebody help me.. thanks
Alex

Hi All,
You can not make it like that.
You can not make clob as input parameter.
Do you want an easy way?
This is the easy way.
sample:
function myFunction(S varchar2(40))
return integer as
begin
insert into TableAAA values(S)
--TableAAA only contains 1 column of clob type
end;
This will work the problem with this is the parameter is in
varchar2 right? so there will be limited length for it.
You can do this to call that function:
nyFunction('My String that will be input into clob field');
There's another slight difficult way, I understand that you have
installed Oracle client/server in your system, try to look at
jdbc folder and try to find demo.zip in that folder, you can
find several ways of doing thing with jdbc.
Have a nice day,
Evan
