hii,
i want the script to execute a procedure on daily basis at a particular time(at 10pm daily).my data base version is 9.2.0.6.0.
How i can check wheather my scheduled procedure is executed or not

Hi,
In addition, pay attention about possible job execution failures.
Scheduled jobs

Jobs currently in execution
SELECT sid, r.job, log_user, r.this_date, r.this_sec
FROM dba_jobs_running r, dba_jobs j
WHERE r.job = j.job;

Executing Unix scripts from a stored procedure

From the sql*plus windows, I am able to execute the host command and '!sh' commands; but I need to ececute Unix scripts from a stored procedure. Hoe can I do this? Where can I get good documentation on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks..

Hi,
U can use external procedure ( newly added feature in 8.0.3 onwards) and call any shared library. From shared library u can execute it.
One sql command is there HOST(' '). U can run a OS command. But u can not use it in PL/SQL.
U can call pls sql from shell !!!!!..
Thanks...

Hi,
Register your Shell Script as a concurrent program, Executable execution method "Host", then use fnd_request.submit_request to submit the program.

Using SQL Loader script in a Stored Procedure

Can I use SQL Loader script in a stored procedure and then execute it from a front-end appl.? The reason for this seemingly convoluted solution is that the users don't want a batch load though the records volume is quite high (around 1 mil). Other loads using ODBC connection or OLE DB seem to be inferior to SQL Loader.

I would suggest a couple of solutions:
1. Have a cgi script that can upload the file to the server from a web ui, then have the cgi script call the sql*loader file, and it will insert into the database.
2. You can try to use External tables. This is avaliable in 9i and onwards. You will be able to make any sql DML on the external table.
I would normally use sql*loader, move the data to a staging table with nologging, and paralle loading. After it has been loaded into the staging table I would process it into my main tables. Have used this approach with up to 60 million records in one load.
You can do calls to C procedures, Pro*C procedures through PLSQL, as well as java calls, or use Java stored procedures.
My experience is that SQL*Loader is the fastest way to load data into the database.

To create a script and schedule which purge 30 days old files

Hi Friends,
Very new in Unix and i got a requirement like writing a script and schedule it, so that it removes 30 days old files from all the log locations of a unix box.
Suppose i have a unix server ltbamdev1 and in this server i have a mount point opt/bam. In this mount point i have 3 different folders like
/ltbamdev1/oracle/install/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/opmn/logs
/ltbamdev1/oracle/install/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/default/logs
/ltbamdev1/oracle/install/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/bpel/domains/support/logs
Please help me in writing a script which runs once a week and removes all 30 days old files from these three folder locations.
Thanks in advance

Schedule a procedure in a package?

I have a developer who would like to schedule a procedure that is part of a package to run on a nightly basis. I wasn't able to select the packaged procedure in EM (10.2). Can you schedule a packaged procedure, but just not with EM?

Yes you can do it with dbms_scheduler but I am not sure if the EM interface supports it.
You can try something like
begin
dbms_scheduler.set_attribute('my_job','job_action',
'scott.test_pkg.proc1');
end;
EM might let you fill in the procedure name manually, in which case you just have to fill in all three parts (schema.package.procedure).
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Script to schedule coldbackup on windows

i have oracle 10.2.0.1 on windows. i want to schedule coldbackup through a script.
my datafiles path is
e:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl\system01.dbf .....................
control files
e:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl\control01.ctl ........
online redologs:
e:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\orcl\redo01.log ........
please tell me how i write a script to schedule cold backup on this windows machine.
please reply

You will need two files:
1. file1.bat
2. file2.ctl
In file1, create your batch script to set the environment
Example -
set ORACLE_HOME=f:\app\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1
set ORACLE_SID=ocdb
rman target / @E:\Backup_scripts\file2.ctl
exit
In file2 you run the rman backup script
Example -
spool LOG to 'E:\Backup_scripts\ocdb.log' APPEND;
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 TAG full_backup DATABASE plus archivelog;
exit
Use Window scheduler to run file1
done

How to write a shell script to execute a procedure with out parameter

Hi,
How to write a shell script to execute a procedure with out parameter.
here is my procedure
PROCEDURE sample(invar1 VARCHAR2,
invar2 VARCHAR2,
invar3 VARCHAR2,
invar4 VARCHAR2,
ecode out number);
Any example really helpfull
Thanks in advance

Or if we're passing values in, maybe something like:
Test procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE p (myin IN VARCHAR2, myout OUT VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
    myout :=
        CASE myin
            WHEN 'A' THEN 'APPLE'
            WHEN 'B' THEN 'BANANA'
            ELSE 'STARFRUIT'
        END;
END;Shell script:
#!/bin/bash
my_shell_variable=$1
unset ORACLE_PATH
sqlplus -s un/pw@db <<-EOF
set feedback off pause off
set pagesize 0
set autoprint off
VAR out varchar2(30)
VAR myin varchar2(30)
exec :myin := '${my_shell_variable}'
BEGIN
p(:myin, :out);
END;
print out
exit
EOFTest:
/Users/williamr: xx A
APPLE
/Users/williamr: xx B
BANANA
/Users/williamr: xx
STARFRUITObviously in a real script you would not hardcode the password or let it show in a "ps" listing.

Run Powershell script from Scheduled Task as "NT Authority \ SYSTEM"

Hello, dear Colleagues.
Cannot make Powershell script from Scheduled Task as "NT Authority \ System"
Action: Start a program -
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -command "C:\script.ps1"
The matter is that script is working, moreover if to run Task with Domain Account it works too.
Checked Run with highest privileges, changed "Configure for" field, tried different arguments (-noprofile, -noexit, -executionpolicy bypass, -command, -file,") - no luck.
Didn't you try to make it work with SYSTEM account?
Thanks.

Hi fapq,
Try this link task schedulers
Note
To identify tasks that run with system permissions, use a verbose query (/query/v). In a verbose query display of a system-run task, the Run As User field has a value of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM and
the Logon Mode field has a value of Background only.

Running an automated script at scheduled intervals

Greetings all,
Is there a way to setup a process or job to run an SQL Script automatically on the first of the month? I am running on a server much like apex.oracle.com so I don't have permissions to the back end of the database and can't run a cron job.
What I am trying to do is run a script that updates a table on the 1st and 15th of the month.
I Googled it and searched OTN and was not able to find what I was looking for so asking the experts.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Shell script execution from stored procedure

I am working on a project thallt requires a shell script be executed upon the execution of a stored procedure with Oracle 10g. I have researched the matter, but there does not seem to be much out there on how to execute lines of UNIX commands by use of a stored procedure. If anybody has ever gotten this to work, any information would be appreciated. If the task is impossible, let me know, I just could not confirm that it was not something that could be done.

A combination of things can help you out here - none of which are easy or particularily secure.
1) From plain PL/SQL, you can call 'external procedures'. That is basically a DLL or .so that the listener can load on demand, and that external procedure (EXTPROC) can run whatever you need from the C program. C can, in turn, call a shell.
This is fairly well documented, but be aware that 1/2 of the info is in the PL/SQL docco and the other half in the Networking docco.
A fair bit of info is available in metalink as well - if you have access, simply search on extproc.
2) You can call a Java stored procedure which in turn has hooks to the outside world. That will probably require a PL/SQL to Java wrapper to make it available in your environment. Oracle has been using this one successfully for a while.
3) Write the script using UTL_FILE and have a daemon look for, and execute, the script.
4) Since you are using 10g, use the new job scheduler. It has excellent capability to interact with the OS, and it is available as a PL/SQL package (DBMS_SCHEDULER). I find the interface a bit heavy, but that could be wrapped by a library tailored to your specific needs.
Let us know what you decide to do in the end (and why) - it is an interesting topic.
