Selecting different homes from command prompt

Hi Gurus,
Oracle client-9201
Oracle client-10201
Win XP SP2
We have two oracle homes. We want to switch it from one to another. We have restriction that this should be done from command prompt only. Although I can change homes launching latest OUI and going to "INSTALLED PRODUCTS" tab where we find ENVIRONMENT tab. There it is possible to change home and apply. But this thing I want to do from command prompt.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Regards.
Virendra

No, you don't want it to be from a command prompt and from OUI. What you want is to be able to do this without the need to visit all 400 client boxes. The method is irrelevant, as long as it efficiently achieves your real goal.That is true.
You keep saying "command prompt" and "OUI", but can't visit all the necessary machines. So what were you envisioning? Creating some batch file you could distribute to all affected users over the network, and ask them to execute said batch file? That may (or may not) be valid, but to find the best solution we have to clearly define the real requirements and separate that from any pre-concieved solution.You can say it is my pre-concieved assumption that I will go with Command Prompt/OUI. But the real problem is I don't want to visit all machines. It can be a batch file distributed to all machines or our network people may execute it sitting on domain controller machine from which he can run programs in background of any machine in network.
From the other things discussed on this thread, I suspect you are going to have to blow in some registry hack, by one of several possible means. But first we have to know what your real constraints are and all of the options open to you.Real constraint is, We don't want (rather can't) visit all 400 terminals.
Do you have the ability to push registry settings at client logon?Yes, We can.
Can you guarantee the consistency of configuration of all 400 clients?Home name and Location may be different on different machines.
Do you have the ability to force the automatic execution of a command file from a file server and client log-on time?Yes, it is possible.
Are you working with your network people to explore what help they might be able to provide on the above points?They may help us depending upon the requirement.

Test Execution hangs while executing a test from Command prompt option

I have done the following
1) Created a script Test driver
2) Added different scripts as Script->Properties->Assets to the driver script
3) Call each of this asset script from TestDriver using command getScript("<<ScrptName>>".run(1, true, true, true);
4) Now calling this TestDriver script from command prompt with command
e:\\OracleATS\\agent
runScript.bat E:\\INTEGRATION_SERVICES\\Identity_management\\Automation\\Scripts\\MasterScripts\\TestDriver
TestDriver.jwg
The script execution hangs at "Initializing VU 1 for Script TestDriver. After few mintues of seeing this message i get error "Execution Timed Out".
Do I need to keep openscript UI open for script execution from command line ?
Is there any way to increase this Execution Time out ? May be it is taking time to load the internal script assets. AS other scripts are running fine on the same machine from command prompt itself.
Complete error is as follows

Hi e_raja_sekar,
You wrote:
public static void main(String args){should be
public static void main(String args[]){Granted, the below code was tested on Windows XP using J2SE SDK 1.4.1_02 (and not 1.2.2 like Sridhar is using), but when I compiled and executed this code:
public class BadMain {
public static void main(String args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}The output I got was:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: mainSo I don't think this is Sridhar's problem (but I could be wrong) since he says that he gets no error message.

Call an ABAP program or a function module from command prompt/python script

Dear All,
I want to call a function module/ABAP program from command prompt or a python script.
Let me explain with an example.
There is a function module "z_add" that takes two integers as input parameters and generates their sum.
the sum is the output parameter.
Now i want to call this function module from command prompt / python script and pass parameters to this function module.
In return i must get the sum(i.e. the output of function module).
I tried using STARTRFC ,was able to call the FM but could not get the return value(output) from FM.
Can you please provide me the code of such a function module and the method to call it thereby passing parameters and getting the sum.
Thanks and regards,
Gaurav

      SELECT SINGLE stceg FROM t001
        INTO lv_vat_no WHERE bukrs = lv_co_code.
      out_par-name = 'VATNUMBER'.
      WRITE lv_vat_no TO out_par-value.
      CONDENSE out_par-value.
      MODIFY out_par INDEX 1.
    ENDFORM.
it is not working and i cannot work out why...
i have not been ABAPing for very long but have had a go....
any thoughts as to what i have done wrong?
or point me where i should be looking? thank you!

Just start a Maxl (essmsh) session from a command line, log into the essbase server and then paste the MDX;
e.g.
Loging admin password on localhost;
SELECT Year.Qtr1.Level.Members ON COLUMNS, Product.Levels(0).Members ON ROWS FROM Sample.Basic;

We wanted to perform backup from command prompt but we want

OS: :Linux
DB version: 10.2
I am doing weekly hot backup.
I used rman for my backup.
No issue on backup.
I just ran the backup succesufully (on 070307).
But Enterprise Manager is not updated.
Its still showing last backup performed on 07 Nov 2006.
But from command prompt by using rman its showing current backup (on 070307).
I think EM shown backup status only
if user used EM to perform backup.
Is it correct?
If yes how to fix this issue, we wanted to perform backup from command prompt but we want backup status should be updated in the EM simultaneously.
D

Hi,
Within EM it is assumed that a control file backup will take place unless you specifically ask it to perform through a recovery catalog. I can't remember at the moment how to do this as I am at home but when you go into the admin/maintenance side of EM there will be an option to chose recvoery catalog. However saying that, EM should still report back even if a control file backup has been carried out.
also i think if you are using a comand prompt then EM will not know about it. You will have to define the job from EM for it to register.

Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt

Hi,
I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
I'm using the below command in command prompt:
cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
Regards,
Sreedhar

Hi,
How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
/parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.

Hi,
Are you able to start the Standalone Agent(KANBAN) and test it in the Topology?
Check the value of the ODI_MASTER_URL variable in odiparams file(at the path <ODI_HOME>\oracledi\agent\bin) of the agent.
Specify the full the JDBC URL properly not like localhost(until the DB is on same machine as your ODI).

How to Get Input from Command Prompt?

How can i get input from command prompt like
C:\
or linux ?
(Here's what I use now)
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String line;
Whlie((line=in.readLine())!= null)
{ System.out.prinln( line) ; }
IS THERE A BETTER WAY?

The main method within a java class accepts command line input through a String array.
In this example args is the String array. You can access the parameters as args[0] for the first parameter, args[1] for the second parameter, etc....
The usage for the example below would be :
c:\EDIFormat file1 file2
Where args[0] would equal file1 and args[1] would equal file2.
public class EDIFormat {
public static void main(String[] args) {
          if (args.length < 0) {
               System.out.println("No Parameters supplied. Exiting....");
               // open input and output files
               EDIFiles(args[0], args[1]);
Hope that helps!

Looking at your error message a little closer, I don't believe it has anything to do with port conflicts but rather that even though you are executing the startManagedWeblogic.cmd with your managed server name (MS1), the error indicates that it is trying to start the Admin Server (not MS1). Note in your error message the following: Unable to obtain lock on C:\bea\user_pr
ojects\domains\PB530Domain\servers\AdminServer\tmp\AdminServer.lok. Server may a
lready be running
It is saying that it cannot start the Admin Server because it is already running (which is probably true in your case). Have you made any changes to the startManagedWeblogic.cmd or the startWeblogic.cmd scripts? I would start debugging there and try to figure out why the script is trying to start your admin server instead of MS1 as you requested on the cmd line.

Launching Index Tuning Wizard from command prompt

I have been playing with index tuning wizard and I could not figure how to launch it from command line (Manual says it can be launched via management console or oracle expert).
DB2 and SQL Server provide executables which can be launched from command line. For example, below command evaluates given workload on target database and recommends something if necessary.
Command> itw -d <targetDB> -w <workloadFile> -o <indexRecommendations>
Is it possible to launch Oracle Index Tuning Wizard from command prompt in a similar way?

Connecting to oracle10g from command prompt

Hello All,
Please reply to following doubts/queries. Any help is highly appreciated.
1.Without having any other tool, is it possible to connect to a remote oracle10g server from windows command prompt.
I have used following command in MySQL database for this purpose:
"mysql -u database_user_name -ppassword".
2. My second question is about Oracle SQL developer(version 1.5.4). I am having this tool installed on my machine.
So, how can i now connect to remote Oracle 10g server from command prompt.
My purpose is to run batch file thereby calling a stored procedure.
Thanks.

Hi,
1.Without having any other tool, is it possible to connect to a remote oracle10g server from windows command prompt.
I have used following command in MySQL database for this purpose:
"mysql -u database_user_name -ppassword".AFAIk, we can't correct in such ways. I might be wrong too, since I have not tested with mysql anytime.
2. My second question is about Oracle SQL developer(version 1.5.4). I am having this tool installed on my machine.
So, how can i now connect to remote Oracle 10g server from command prompt.
My purpose is to run batch file thereby calling a stored procedure.You need to configure the appropriate connections identified - user/ password - wher DB host is residing IP address and port number and sid of oracle instance. Carry out those things then you can connect to DB.
Execute the batch files from DB Server - its better approach.
