Scripts Parameters

Hello everyone,
I've created a file named grant.sql (on oracle 9i)which contains following query:
grant all on &table to ms23 with grant option;
The problem is after providing input for first time, it doesn't ask for the same in subsequently executions.
can somebody tell me what the problem is ... ???

Not sure why you want to do it. There could be a whole bunch of other solutions, once we know what the problem (business case) ist.
Also you can consider the follwoing approach
grant all on &1 to ms23 with grant option;
then call the script with
@yourScript TableName
@yourScript TableName2
@yourScript TableName3
@yourScript TableName4
@yourScript TableName5

Writing Unicode characters to scripting parameters on Windows

I am trying to read/write a file path that supports Unicode characters to/from scripting parameters (PIDescriptorParameters) with an Export plug-in. This works fine on OS X by using AliasHandle together with the "typeAlias" resource type in the "aete" section of the plugin resource file.
On Windows I am having trouble to make Photoshop correctly display paths with Unicode characters. I have tried:
- Writing null-terminated char* (Windows-1252) in a "typePath" parameter -- this works but obviously does not support Unicode.
- Writing null-terminated wchar* (UTF-16) in a "typePath" parameter -- this causes the saved path in the Action palette to be truncated to the first character, caused by null bytes in UTF-16. It appears PS does not understand UTF-16 in this case?
- Creating an alias record with sPSAlias->WinNewAliasFromWidePath and storing in a "typePath" or "typeAlias" parameter -- this causes the Action palette to show "txtu&", which does not make sense to me at all.
The question is: what is the correct scripting parameter resource type (typePath, typeAlias, ... ?) for file paths on Windows, and how do I write to it in such way that Photoshop will correctly display Unicode characters in the Actions palette?

Hi
Skip the first (4 or 6 characters) and you'll get the Unicode value.

How to add batch server group in script parameters

Hi All,
Is there any way to incorporate the "background server groups" directly in the script parameters in REDWOOD? There is an option to provide the target server in parameter TARGET_SERVER. But its not working if i maintain a server group. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Arun Raghavan

Hi Blom,
Thanks for the reply. I am not able to find any parameter with the name TARGET_GROUP. Can I add this explicitly as a new parameter? But i am not sure how it will correlate to the batch server group in SAP. I also tried to import a job with target group defined. But the imported copy doesn't contain any values for it.

Read Scripting Parameters within a Filter

Hello,
I'd like to have a Plug In which can read Scripting Parameters and run accordignly.
One of the code samples in the SDK is called "PoorMansTypeTool".
In its documentation it is said to be able to "Read scripting parameters".
I look into its code yet I couldn't figure how it does it.
Let's say I have a script with a variable 'a'.
The script launches a filter from the filter lists and want to pass the valu of the parameter 'a' to the filter.
How could that be done?
Are there any constraints on the parameter type, size, etc?
Has anyone tried it before?
If someone could guide me through the plug in code I'd be happy.
Thank You.

EventOpen action play results in error when adding scripting parameters

Hi all,
I have a setup that involves two plugins:
A file format plugin which I've made scripting-aware and takes one parameter and,
An automation plugin that opens a number of files of this format and which passes the parameter to the first plugin.
For achieving this, I am playing eventOpen via the Action Control Suite, and using the code the Listener plugin from the SDK generates:
SPErr PlayeventOpen(/*your parameters go here*/void)
     PIActionDescriptor result = NULL;
     DescriptorTypeID runtimeKeyID;
     DescriptorTypeID runtimeTypeID;
     DescriptorTypeID runtimeObjID;
     DescriptorTypeID runtimeEnumID;
     DescriptorTypeID runtimeClassID;
     DescriptorTypeID runtimePropID;
     DescriptorTypeID runtimeUnitID;
     SPErr error = kSPNoError;
     // Move this to the top of the routine!
     PIActionDescriptor desc0000000000000570 = NULL;
     error = sPSActionDescriptor->Make(&desc0000000000000570);
     if (error) goto returnError;
     // Move this to the top of the routine!
     Handle aliasValue = NULL;
     FullPathToAlias("C:\dev\data\test.dat", aliasValue);
     error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutAlias(desc0000000000000570, keyNull, aliasValue);
     if (error) goto returnError;
          // Move this to the top of the routine!
          PIActionDescriptor desc0000000000000578 = NULL;
          error = sPSActionDescriptor->Make(&desc0000000000000578);
          if (error) goto returnError;
          error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutFloat(desc0000000000000578, keyGamma, 2.2);
          if (error) goto returnError;
     error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutObject(desc0000000000000570, keyAs, 'tdfP', desc0000000000000578);
     if (error) goto returnError;
     error = sPSActionControl->Play(&result, eventOpen, desc0000000000000570, plugInDialogSilent);
     if (error) goto returnError;
returnError:
     if (result != NULL) sPSActionDescriptor->Free(result);
     if (desc0000000000000570 != NULL) sPSActionDescriptor->Free(desc0000000000000570);
     if (aliasValue != NULL) sPSHandle->Dispose(aliasValue);
     if (desc0000000000000578 != NULL) sPSActionDescriptor->Free(desc0000000000000578);
     return error;
By using this code, the call in line 47 returns an error code -25923 and the error string contains "The parameters for command “Open” are not currently valid.".
These are some of the things I've tried already:
Escaping the file path backslashes does not seem to help although it seems necessary.
Playing the event with no parameter (remove lines 27:36) does work.
Playing the event thought the Actions tab results in a dialog for browsing a file being open and no parameters are passed to my plugin.
Changing plugInDialogSilent to plugInDialogDontDisplay in line 43 causes the same effect as the previous point.
The plugin writes correctly the parameter into the scripting plugin (when provided via its UI) but it seems that somehow it is not able to retrieve it correctly when passed via the host application.
In case it helps, this is the relevant part of my PiPL resources file:
resource 'aete' (ResourceID, plugInName " dictionary", purgeable)
1, 0, english, roman, /* aete version and language specifiers */
       vendorName, /* vendor suite name */
       "", /* optional description */
       plugInSuiteID, /* suite ID */
       1, /* suite code, must be 1 */
       1, /* suite level, must be 1 */
       {}, /* structure for filters */
       {      /* non-filter plug-in class here */
            plugInName,     /* unique class name */
            plugInClassID, /* class ID, must be unique or Suite ID */
            plugInAETEComment, /* optional description */
            {      /* define inheritance */
                 "<Inheritance>", /* must be exactly this */
                 keyInherits, /* must be keyInherits */
                 classFormat, /* parent: Format, Import, Export */
                 "parent class format", /* optional description */
                 flagsSingleProperty, /* if properties, list below */
                "gamma",
                 keyGamma,
                 typeFloat,
                 "Source data gamma",
                 flagsSingleProperty
                 /* no properties */
            {}, /* elements (not supported) */
            /* class descriptions */
       {}, /* comparison ops (not supported) */
       {} /* any enumerations */
I'll appreciate any help
Thanks.

Hi,
If anyone come across this issue in the future, I've manged to get it working with what it seems to be a workaround by using the plugin runtime descriptor, replacing line 39 with the following code:
error = sPSActionDescriptor->StringIDToTypeID("Test Data Plug-In", &runtimeObjOD));
if (error) goto returnError;
error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutObject(desc0000000000000570, keyAs, runtimeObjID, desc0000000000000578);
I'm not sure if anyone from the dev team can help clarify what's going on here, but seems to be either a bug in the Action Control Suite or the Listener plugin from the SDK not generating the correct output.
Thanks.

Error trap on extraneous script parameters

I have a script that accepts named parameters at the command line, and I would like to error trap any extraneous parameters, rather than having a malformed shortcut cause an error. I tried just wrapping the Param section at the top of the script in a Try/Catch
but that doesn't work at all. Is there any mechanism to address this more gracefully, or do i just need to document proper argument syntax and let users see the error if they mess it up?
Note, I used Try/Catch with and without cmdletbinding, and with camdletbinding in and out of the Try. Some variations caused errors, and some caused all parameters to be ignored, even the ones that where correctly being passed.
Gordon

So, basically what I want to do is have two named parameters, one required and one optional, and then catch the error when someone includes a third, or gets a name wrong. It seems like there is no way to catch that, you are just going to get a standard
PowerShell error. Not the end of the world, but like not being able to natively run a powershell script with no console at all, a little annoying, if in fact it can't be done.
It sounds like this is what you want (as far as the 1 mandatory and 1 option params go):
Function Test {
[cmdletbinding()]
Param (
[parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[string]$Param1,
[parameter()]
[string]$Param1
#CODE HERE
Unfortunately, you will not be able to get around the issue of someone attempting to use a 3rd parameter and having an error thrown. This will happen at runtime and can't be caught.

Script parameters

I have some scripts in the repository that I'm trying to use to build an applications data from. Some include parameters in the where clause of the insert statements such as:
d.date_due_at_dock_rev >= to_date(:P1_START_DATE,'DD-MON-YY') and
I keep getting ORA-00904 and ORA-00911 errors when I set the parameters on the parameter page when I try to run them.
I've checked the manual (chapt 5) and tried using &P1_START_DATE and also #P1_START_DATE# with no luck.
What is the correct syntax for this???
Greg

>
Ok..
But , is there another way to send a script to
DataBase ? Maybe another class that provide to set
parameter value by name.I'm almost certain there's not in the core API. You might find something from a 3rd party if you're good with google.
But what are you really trying to do? Why do you need to do it by name?
Depending on your ultimate goal, you might want to look at an object-relational bridge tool such as [url http://www.hibernate.org]Hibernate.

Cube script parameters

Hello!
Finally we are starting our huge migration project from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.3. Now we are doing study what to change in our OLAP build scripts. Originally we use DML and now would like to build cubes using "proper" way. My question concerns clearing of variables. Are there any way to setup a parameter for dimension status for clear step in cube script?
Let's say I would like to define before execution the day I would like to clear from sales cube. How should I accomplish this without DML programming?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Kirill

Kirill,
Since you are moving from 10golap to 11golap, few points to keep in mind (for you and for others on this forum):
(1). Convert AW's calc measures logic from olap dml to new OLAP EXPRESSION syntax. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/olap.112/e23381/toc.htm
(2). If there is any olap dml program to populate an attribute, move that logic to relational side (i.e., in your dimension source view)
(3). Try to understand, how XML can be used to manage the AW and its objects. There are lot of posts by David Greenfield on this forum.
(4). Its very important to understand DBMS_CUBE package. Try to understand all its details, since you will use this a lot. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e16760/d_cube.htm
(5). It is also important to use as little olap dml as possible, even for calc measures. Use this forum for any help you need with that. There should be only few cases now, where olap dml is necessary. Use the standard cube-aware olap dml statements: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/olap.112/e17122/dml_basics.htm#BABFDBDJ
(6). Logging is much extensive now. So if you have any code that relied on olapsys.XML_LOAD_LOG that need to be changed also.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e16760/d_cube_log.htm#ARPLS72789
(7). Use compressed cubes now. See David's post about how much to precompute: Question on cube build / query performance (11.2.0.3)
(8). If you have a RAC environment, then look at this new functionality where you can Pin dbms_cube.build parallel jobs to specific node on RAC Pin dbms_cube.build parallel jobs to specific node on RAC
(9). For any write-back to cube, see if you can use this tip: http://oracleolap.blogspot.com/2010/10/cell-level-write-back-via-plsql.html
(10). If you had any custom work done to improve looping during queries, then keep in mind that it is provided out-of-the-box now by properties like: $LOOP_VAR and $LOOP_DENSE

Need to Understand 2 Scripting parameters

Hi,
Can someone tell me what this is doing in script of ActiveSync stats:
$EASDevices = “”
$AllEASDevices = @()
The complete script is:
#### Get Mailbox
$EASDevices = “”
$AllEASDevices = @()
$EASDevices = “”| select ‘User’,'PrimarySMTPAddress’,'DeviceType’,'DeviceModel’,'DeviceOS’, ‘LastSyncAttemptTime’,'LastSuccessSync’
$EasMailboxes = Get-Mailbox -ResultSize unlimited
foreach ($EASUser in $EasMailboxes) {
$EASDevices.user = $EASUser.displayname
$EASDevices.PrimarySMTPAddress = $EASUser.PrimarySMTPAddress.tostring()
    foreach ($EASUserDevices in Get-ActiveSyncDevice -Mailbox $EasUser.alias) {
    $EASDeviceStatistics = $EASUserDevices | Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics
    $EASDevices.devicetype = $EASUserDevices.devicetype
    $EASDevices.devicemodel = $EASUserDevices.devicemodel
    $EASDevices.deviceos = $EASUserDevices.deviceos
    $EASDevices.lastsyncattempttime = $EASDeviceStatistics.lastsyncattempttime
    $EASDevices.lastsuccesssync = $EASDeviceStatistics.lastsuccesssync
    $AllEASDevices += $EASDevices | select user,primarysmtpaddress,devicetype,devicemodel,deviceos,lastsyncattempttime,lastsuccesssync
$AllEASDevices = $AllEASDevices | sort user
$AllEASDevices
$AllEASDevices | Export-Csv $exportpath\ActiveSyncReport.csv
Hasan

They are just creating empty varibles so that data can be added to them later in the script.
The first one
$EASDevices = “”
creates an empty string.
the second one
$AllEASDevices = @()
creates an empty array.

Hi DJ,
What is the purpose of empty string.

Problem with script parameters

Hi,
I want to pass the parameter 'RTE REFERENCE' to a script.
Here is my script :
define UTIL = &1
set serveroutput on
declare
UTI VARCHAR2(20);
begin
dbms_output.enable(100000);
UTI := '&UTIL';
dbms_output.put_line('Valeur passée en paramètre : '||UTI);
end;
EXIT;
I run the script as following :
sqlplus -S infolig/xxxx@REFI @test.sql 'RTE REFERENCE'
If I replace 'RTE REFERENCE' by "RTE REFERENCE", I obtain the same result.
But dbms_output returns RTE instead of RTE REFERENCE.
What is the problem ?
Regards,
Rachel

or you can simplify it by:
set serveroutput on
declare
    UTI VARCHAR2(20) := '&1';;
begin
    dbms_output.enable(100000);
    dbms_output.put_line('Valeur passée en paramètre : '||UTI);
end;
EXIT;

[shellscript] Passing a script with parameters to AT

Hey everybody,
I would like to learn shell scripting so I created a script to mount/unmount my truecrypt volume. This is what I have so far:
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)
truecrypt -k '' /dev/array/vault /home/<user>/vault
stop)
truecrypt -d /home/<user>/vault
echo "usage: $0 (start|stop)"
esac
exit 0
Now I would like to add another feature. I want it to automatically unmount after 2 hours. I found the "at" command which should be able to do this.
I would need to do something like:
start)
truecrypt -k '' /dev/array/vault /home/<user>/vault
at -f "$1 stop" now + 2 hours
However, running just " at -f "./vault.sh start" now + 2 minutes " fails:
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
Cannot open input file ./vault.sh start: No such file or directory
If I can get this working I would like the "stop" code to remove any scheduled stop operations (for when I do it manually). Also, I would like to include a "keepalive" function that allows me to kill the scheduled stop task and reschedule it again to restart the countdown. This would allow me to keep the volume mounted if I want to use it for a longer period of time.
Is it possible to execute scripts + parameters with "at"? Can somebody help me to make this work?
Thanks a bunch!
P.S: Truecrypt also keeps asking me this:
Protect hidden volume (if any)? (y=Yes/n=No) [No]:
I would like to specify this in the command so that I don't have to hit enter every time. I've looked at the man page but found nothing helpfull. Anyone?

Make sure that vault.sh exists in the directory that you are executing it from. It may be better to refer to the whole file location rather than just './'. eg use " at -f "~/vault.sh start" now + 2 minutes " rather than just " at -f "./vault.sh start" now + 2 minutes ".
Providing thatyou are happy for TrueCrypt to accept the default answer for any questions it asks you can just pipe yes into it:
yes | truecrypt -k '' /dev/array/vault ~/vault
Yes will 'press enter' to any questions that TrueCrypt asks.

Script privilege errors

I'm trying to install sharepoint tools to users machines. This requires admin privledges. The script below is in a .bat files and installs the product no problems with admin rights. To be able to apply this to users when they log on is where I'm stuck.
Ive tried it as a computer startup script in GPO when the computer starts but it doesnt do anything. Its also hard to know as you cant see any messages.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Have you checked that the script is in a place where it can be run with the local system account of the computer the "default" location of the scripts is \\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\scripts OR inside the Group Policy.
Have you checked that the Group policy / script are assigned to the right place (common mistake). If you assign COMPUTER-settings make sure the GP is assigned so that the test computer will get the policy (you can the rcop.msc or GPRESULT /h c:\pathherewhereyouwanttheraport.html
to make sure the computer really gets the right policy)
When you have created the group policy and selected: Computer Configuration, Windows settings, Scripts (Startup/Shutdown), Startup. On Scripts-tab selected ADD. please check that the information is
right
Script name: MyScript.bat
Script Parameters (the path where the script is located comes here): \\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\{557740FF-AFAE-4300-9BD7-B90555FDA1BE}\Machine\Scripts\Startup

Calling powershell script from a batch file

Hello All,
I have a batch script that calls a powershell script. Before calling the script I set the execution policy to unrestricted, but when it gets to the line that calls the batch script i still get the confirmation in the command window: "Do you want to
perform this operation" I then have to press Y for the PS script to run and then my batch script finishes.
Does anyone know the setting I need to change in order to suppress the confirmation?
Note: this is Windows 8, see code below
set THIS_DIR=%~dp0
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
powershell %THIS_DIR%MyScript.ps1 "param1"

I may sound like a jerk but you really want to look at PowerShell.exe /?
PowerShell[.exe] [-PSConsoleFile <file> | -Version <version>]
    [-NoLogo] [-NoExit] [-Sta] [-Mta] [-NoProfile] [-NonInteractive]
    [-InputFormat {Text | XML}] [-OutputFormat {Text | XML}]

PowerShell[.exe] -Help | -? | /?
-PSConsoleFile
    Loads the specified Windows PowerShell console file. To create a console
    file, use Export-Console in Windows PowerShell.
-Version
    Starts the specified version of Windows PowerShell.
    Enter a version number with the parameter, such as "-version 2.0".
-NoLogo
    Hides the copyright banner at startup.
-NoExit
    Does not exit after running startup commands.
-Sta
    Starts the shell using a single-threaded apartment.
    Single-threaded apartment (STA) is the default.
-Mta
    Start the shell using a multithreaded apartment.
-NoProfile
    Does not load the Windows PowerShell profile.
-NonInteractive
    Does not present an interactive prompt to the user.
-InputFormat
    Describes the format of data sent to Windows PowerShell. Valid values are
    "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
-OutputFormat
    Determines how output from Windows PowerShell is formatted. Valid values
    are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
-WindowStyle
    Sets the window style to Normal, Minimized, Maximized or Hidden.
-EncodedCommand
    Accepts a base-64-encoded string version of a command. Use this parameter
    to submit commands to Windows PowerShell that require complex quotation
    marks or curly braces.
-File
    Runs the specified script in the local scope ("dot-sourced"), so that the
    functions and variables that the script creates are available in the
    current session. Enter the script file path and any parameters.
    File must be the last parameter in the command, because all characters
    typed after the File parameter name are interpreted
    as the script file path followed by the script parameters.
-ExecutionPolicy
    Sets the default execution policy for the current session and saves it
    in the $env:PSExecutionPolicyPreference environment variable.
    This parameter does not change the Windows PowerShell execution policy
    that is set in the registry.
-Command
    Executes the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were
    typed at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, and then exits, unless
    NoExit is specified. The value of Command can be "-", a string. or a
    script block.
    If the value of Command is "-", the command text is read from standard
    input.
    If the value of Command is a script block, the script block must be enclosed
    in braces ({}). You can specify a script block only when running PowerShell.exe
    in Windows PowerShell. The results of the script block are returned to the
    parent shell as deserialized XML objects, not live objects.
    If the value of Command is a string, Command must be the last parameter
    in the command , because any characters typed after the command are
    interpreted as the command arguments.
    To write a string that runs a Windows PowerShell command, use the format:
        "& {<command>}"
    where the quotation marks indicate a string and the invoke operator (&)
    causes the command to be executed.
-Help, -?, /?
    Shows this message. If you are typing a PowerShell.exe command in Windows
    PowerShell, prepend the command parameters with a hyphen (-), not a forward
    slash (/). You can use either a hyphen or forward slash in Cmd.exe.
Hope that helps! Jason

Action Script to add a parent node value to the top node

I need to add a new parent node value to a hierarchy for the top node. The action script parameters to add a node is "Add|Version|Hierarchy|Node|Parent Node|Leaf property". I am at a loss on what to do for the top node since there is no Parent Node above this top level, but the parameters require it. I have reviewed both the user manual and admin manual, but did not find any assistance. Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

You have the answer with you, don't get confused between Parent Node and Top Node in this context, while Adding a new node your Top Node will become your Parent Node.
"Add|Version|Hierarchy|Node|Parent Node|Leaf property"
If you still have confusion, simply do the below,
1. Right Click on your Top Node and Add a new Leaf or Limb Node manually
2. Once added, go back to Home -> Script
3. Select Source Type as Transaction Log and then select the newly added node and Load
4. In the bottom select Script -> Download -> Download as Action Script.
5. Open in a Notepad and leverage it to create your new script.

Problem with a script

I can be reached at [email protected]
I had a question for you to see if you can solve. I have a script below I am trying to run in Oracle 9i SQL+ with SYSTEM/MANAGER privileges. Is the script look complete to you? For some reason I get insufficient privs. even when I log in as Admin and run the script. I am trying to create a Ora Databased called WFCDB with these script parameters. Do you have any advice on how to make this script run so that when I view it in Enterprise Manager, under Schemas, I can see WFCDB? The scripts below:

Your answer is in a remark in your script:
REM Must be user sys to grant the following REM
sys and system are not the same user account. If your system acccount password is manager, then your sys account password is probably change_on_install. These are the defaults for these two accounts.
Also, I believe that all of these statements are redundant:
grant select on sys.dba_xxxxxxxxx
I believe that the statement...
grant select_catalog_role
... encompasses all these privileges. Someone correct me please if I am mistaken.
