Calling UNIX command from PL/SQL Procedure

Is there a way to call a UNIX command (exa. ls) from within a PL/SQL stored procedure? Looking through the various packages, I didn't see anything that would give me this ability.
I also looked through all the previous questions and nothing looked encouraging.
Thanks in advance,
Russ

Russ,
I thought I'd read a similar question awhile ago and did a search on the word host in this forum and found the following from July 9th that might help you:
http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum88/HTML/001611.html
In that post I think the link listed by Barbara Boehmer in has changed to:

It looks like they give solutions for Oracle 7, 8 and 8i.
Good site Barbara, I've added it to my bookmarks.

Sending E-Mail from PL/SQL

I have used Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1) on windows Xp machine. I want to send e-mail
from PL/SQL procedure.
I execuete the procedure as follows friom SQL prompt in SCOTT user..
execute prc_send_mail('[email protected]','[email protected]','Test message');
before that I create the procedure in scott user and it is created successfully in scott user..
Procedue is as follows...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE prc_send_mail (p_sender IN VARCHAR2,
p_recipient IN VARCHAR2,
p_message IN VARCHAR2)
as
l_mailhost VARCHAR2(255) := 'mail.yahoo.com';
l_mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
l_mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(l_mailhost, 25);
utl_smtp.helo(l_mail_conn, l_mailhost);
utl_smtp.mail(l_mail_conn, p_sender);
utl_smtp.rcpt(l_mail_conn, p_recipient);
utl_smtp.open_data(l_mail_conn );
utl_smtp.write_data(l_mail_conn, p_message);
utl_smtp.close_data(l_mail_conn );
utl_smtp.quit(l_mail_conn);
end;
unfortunately i have receiveed some error which I mentioned below...
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 17
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 96
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_SMTP", line 138
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.PRC_SEND_MAIL", line 9
ORA-06512: at line 1.
Please anyone giove me the solution..

> ORA-29278: SMTP transient error: 421 Service not available
Not an Oracle error. This is the SMTP server telling you to go and get stuffed. It does not want to talk to you.
See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html.
The RFC says that this type of response code can be for example when the SMTP server is about to shutdown - thus informing the client that it cannot be serviced.
But seeing that you're trying to hijack mail.yahoo.com as your SMTP server.. I'm not surprise that the server is giving you the bird.

Fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL

Hi all,
does anyone know if it is possible to fire OMB Plus commands from PL/SQL procedures?
I can imagine that there might be a PL/SQL package in the repository owner schema that accepts OMB Plus commands as strings...or something similar...
Thanks,
Elio

Hi Elio
I don't know about any existing package that could do that.
What I'd suggest is to build a stored procedure/function/package that could do that. Or even, execute OMB Scripts in the host from a pl/sql program.
Good luck.

Marcos

Sending message from PL/SQL procedure to form

Hello Friends,
How can I send messages from PL/SQL procedure to Form ?
Ultimate target is catching progress of PL/SQL procedure from
form. I heard about DBMS_PIPe but not sure,.
Adi

Hello,
Yeah , I got the solution using DBMS_PIPE function,I
followed following steps.
1. Pipe is created. see below procedure.
create or replace procedure proc_testpipe as
     v_pipe_integer          integer;
     v_pipe_message          integer;
begin
     v_pipe_integer := DBMS_PIPE.Create_Pipe('adipipe');
     dbms_pipe.pack_message('Hello Adinath Kamode,Message
     from Pipe');
     v_pipe_message := dbms_Pipe.Send_message('adipipe');
     end;
end;
2. then I created one Function which will obtain message from
Pipe and
will return value to form.
create or replace function proc_callpipe return varchar2 as
v_msg          integer;
v_rem          integer;
v_message          varchar2(500);
begin
v_msg:=dbms_pipe.receive_message('adipipe');
dbms_pipe.unpack_message(v_message);
dbms_pipe.purge('adipipe');
v_rem := dbms_pipe.remove_pipe('adipipe');
return(v_message);
end;
3. Last I called this function from form.
Cheers .. !
Adi

Running ls command from Java stroed procedure no output

Hi ,
I am trying to run ls command from java stored procedure in oracle
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));
// read the output from the command
System.out.println("output of the command run:\n");
while ((s = stdInput.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(s);
from java stored procedure in oracle.
i get output of println statments but it does not go into while loop to print from stdInput.
Result of running Java stored procedure is -
output of the command run:
Call completed.
when i run the program on client side it works fine.
Has anybody tried this from java stroed procedure.
Thanks,
Jag

Jag,
Actually, the question of whether it works for me seems to depend on the version of the OS (or Oracle). On RedHat Linux (Oracle 8.1.6) it didn't work at all, but on Solaris (Oracle 9.0.2) it did. Here's the output from that run:
SQL> /
output of the command run:
init.ora
initDBPart9i.DBPSun01.ora
initdw.ora
lkDBPART9I
orapw
orapwDBPart9i
spfileDBPart9i.ora
Done
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
But, I did need to change a line of your code to this:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/usr/bin/ls");
your original was:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
You might consider, if possible, use of some of the Java File classes instead of ls, as this might make things more predictable for you. There were some examples in oramag.com a few months ago, but they were pretty simple (you might not need them).
Hope this helps,

Run OS command from Pl/SQL

Is there any way to execute an OS command from pl/sql other than using dbms_pipe & pro*C combo. I have done this way before but it seems there is built-in oracle package which can do this in 8/8i.
Also HOST command in forms will execute the OS coomand from the clinet. Is there any way to execute the OS command on the server from the forms clinet?
thanks,

Returing array from PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I am trying to return array from PL/SQL procedure. Heres is the code. I am getting an error "OracleParameter.ArrayBindSize is invalid ".
Will anybody let me know what is wrong in following code. or does anybody have code to return PL/SQL array using VB.NET.
oCommand.CommandText = "MyPack.TestVarchar2"
oCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim id As Integer = 10
Dim deptname As String()
Dim oParam1 As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter("id", Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType.Int32)
Dim oParam2 As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter("deptname", Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType.Varchar2)
oParam1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
oParam2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
oParam1.CollectionType = Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.None
oParam2.CollectionType = Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray
oParam1.Value = id
oParam2.Value = ""
oParam1.Size = 10
oParam2.Size = 20
oCommand.Parameters.Add(oParam1)
oCommand.Parameters.Add(oParam2)
oCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Thanks

Thanks Arnold for the reply..
Yes, I am trying to get result set in array which is unknow to me (No of rows return by the query). For the test I will pre-define the result set so that I will able to set ArrayBindSize.
I have read C# example but when I try to write it in VB.NET it gives me syntax error when I try to set the ArrayBindSize.
oParam.ArrayBindSize = new int[3]{15,23,13} // individual max size of 3 outputsWill you please let me know how to set ArrayBindSize (VB.NET) because I am new to this..
There is an example at otn "How to: Bind an Array to an ODP.NET Database Command" which does multiple INSERTs in one trip to database. This works fine. I need to do same for the SELECT statement which will return me multiple rows. I do not mean refCursor. If I use refCursor, it will make soft parse which I am trying to avoid using this Array techniq.

Creating web service from pl/sql procedure

Hello.
I need to create a web service from pl/sql procedure and i chose JDeveloper for this implementation. I have wsdl, but I never created web services. So, I created web service with document/literal message format.
But I have several troubles:
1. All element names have lower case letters.
2. The SOAP envelope must begin from words soapenv:Envelope but i have soap:Envelope.
3. And operation name has tail like "Element".
I know bad way for implement 1 and 3 points. It's a modification of java_wsdl_mapping.xml and wsdl files. But if I want to add new method to my service all changes will be cleaned. It's not critical but inconvenient to support.
But for point 3 i have no ideas.
This task is very important for me. Can somebody help me?

How to send a command from a vc++.exe to LABVIEW.exe in order to control the button on the LABVIEW.exe

Hello, everyone. Using VC++, I have gotten the handle of a *.exe(built by Labview), but I cannot get the button handle. I want to get the button handle and post the message to control the button. How can I do that? When I use the SPY++, the *.exe(built by Labview) have not any child windows which is very different from the *.exe(built by VC++). In SPY++, what is the LVDChild class? How can I send the message to control the button on *.exe(built by Labview)???
That is to send a command from a vc++.exe to LABVIEW.exe in order to control the button on the LABVIEW.exe. How can I get it ?
Thank you!

Checkout the LabVIEW ActiveX server interface in the User Manual in Chapter 20, Windows Connectivity and the VI Server Reference in Chapter 17, Programmatically Controlling VIs.
There is a sample for Visual Basic under examples/comm/VBtoLV.frm, which should be quite simple to translate to Visual C as long as you can figure out the basics of ActiveX programming in VC (I have never done anything with ActiveX in VC). For those basics I would recommend some text book or MSDN.

How to send JMS message from pl/SQL to jBoss

There's a queue which is definitied under the Jboss. I would like send a message from pl/SQL to jBoss.
Why is't working??
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/jsp/samples/jms/Readme.html
thnk's,

You can defince a queue in Oracle, then access this queue from your Jboss application. Not sure if you need JMS, but there are some Oracle OCI functions that are certainly helpful for such a task.
You might look into further details be reading the manual on Oracle Advanced Queuing or Oracle Streams.
