Shell script calling SQL Program and passing parameters

Hi guys,
Greetings from Toronto. Is it possible to pass a string or strings as parameters to a sql program from a shell script ?
Shell Script
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
sqlplus.exe -s $p_user_id @$RD_PATH/rd_test.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id
SQL Program (rd_test.sql)
-- Accept system input parameters
define p_user_id = &1
define p_job_id = &2
-- Wondering if its possible to pass these 3 parameters from a shell script program.
-- (1) rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis
-- (2) RD_PRINTER(rd_test,3)
-- (3) t_data
select
t_data=''rd_test-'||'''$p_job_id'''||'-1-1.txt''
t_data_dir=''.''
ksh $RD_PATH/another_shell_prog.sh $p_user_id $p_job_id '||a.rd_value||' '
||b.rd_value||' rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis $RD_PRINTER(rd_test,3) '||
'$t_data $t_data_dir'||'
exit_status=$?
check_command'
from rd_job_parameter b, rd_job_parameter a
where a.job_id = &2
and a.jp_module_id = 'RDTEST'
and b.job_id = a.job_id
and b.module_id = a.module_id
/As always, its not something I have to solve this minute. Any help would be appreciated
and I will be thinking of the problem.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Sean,
Thanks for the reply. I am not at work yet. I already do have the if condition to call 2 separate sql scripts. I was hoping them to be reduced to one sql script. That's why I was hoping to pass some of those values to the select statement as parameters.
Here is what I was hoping to pass from the shell script based on an IF condition. The good thing about it is that I can hard code these 3 parameters in the shell script in the IF and ELSE conditions. Is it possible to tag these 3 hard coded values in the command line after $p_job_id and then capture these 3 parameters in the SQL program ?
1. rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis or rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis
2. RD_PRINTER(rd_test,3) or RD_PRINTER(rd_test,4)
3. t_data=''rd_test-'||'''$p_job_id'''||'-1-1.txt''
Shell script :
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
if [condition]
sqlplus.exe -s $p_user_id @$RD_PATH/rd_test.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id
else
sqlplus.exe -s $p_user_id @$RD_PATH/rd_test.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id
fi
ksh $RD_PATH/another_shell_prog.sh $p_user_id $p_job_id '||a.rd_value||' '
||b.rd_value||' rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis $RD_PRINTER(rd_test,3) '||
'$t_data $t_data_dir'||'

Executing a program and passing parameters using ProcessStartInfo

I am trying to run an application and pass parameters from within a c# desktop application. It appears to attempt to execute but it doesn’t run and the exeProcess shows errors in the locals.
Here is the code:
ProcessStartInfo startBin2TextApp =
new
ProcessStartInfo(strNowRunThis, strDataFile +
" a");
startBin2TextApp.CreateNoWindow =
true;
startBin2TextApp.UseShellExecute =
false;          startBin2TextApp.WindowStyle =
ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process exeProcess =
null;
exeProcess = Process.Start(startBin2TextApp);
This is what is in the Arguments when Process.Start(startBin2TextApp) is ready to execute.
Arguments         "C:\\Users\\10065421\\Documents\\ab\\Working\\Projects\\Panel Explorer\\B640130A.DAT a"
After the line is executed, exeProcess shows an error in most of the attributes. For instance, BasePriority shows “exeProcess.BaePriority” threw an exception of type “System.InvalidOperationException”.
I ran this from the command prompt so I know it runs on this machine with the same parameters I am using in the code.
Any ideas?

I need to call a java program and pass parameters from C#

I'm new to C# and was given a project to rewrite some of my old VB.net programs to C# to help me learn. These VB programs call quite a few .bat files that have calls to java programs in them. I'm doing okay converting my VB code, but I've been
stumped for days trying to figure out how to call java from C#.
Does anyone here know how to do this? I really should've had this figured out by now and my back is to the wall. Ugh :(
This is the line from the .bat file that I need to convert to C#.
call jvbat production_r115.Automotive m:\data\MK115mn.100 m:\data\MK115mn.101 %6
There is one parameters being passed, %6
I would be forever grateful if someone can show me how to do this!

Hi Joni,
Do you mean call a bat file that it is a Java program from C#? If so, there is an article talking about it.
If that's not what you're trying to do, please be more specific about what you're trying to do.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/maheswararao/CallingJavaProgramfromCS12062005233321PM/CallingJavaProgramfromCS.aspx
Now the next issue is pass some parameters from C#.
The above article tells using Process.Start() method to call java program. Also in this class, you could specify them all in the
Arguments property:
var p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", argument1, argument2);
For more detailed information, please refer to
C# Passing Multiple Arguments to BAT File

File to File and then Call ABAP Program and pass file name and location

Hi
I am new to PI and am working on the following requirement and some guidance would help:
A file is picked up from a third party server using FTP and is put in an SAP server in a specific location. After I have put in the file successfully, I need to call an ABAP program and provide the name and location of the file for further processing by the ABAP program.
Although I am familiar with File to File, how can I add in the ABAP call with the filename and location? I do not want to pass any other information to the ABAP program.
Thanks for your help.
Manoj

I think I get what you're saying. This additional file would have the file and the path in it's content. I would then use this as a source (FCC?) for Mapping with the RFC. Right?
Exactly and yes, FCC would be helpful
Would you have a sample OS script to do the above?
Actually it depends on the operating system on which your PI system is standing. For instance for Windows, you might try with the following as a start point (but I was not able to test it, so I can't guarantee it will do the job):
cmd.exe /C "%f %F > C:\target_directory\%DATE%_%TIME%.txt"
In case you needed more, try googling on "windows batch script" or similar.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Calling a function and passing parameters via Variables

I've got an XML file that is loading in data and is calling functions.
I've figured out how to call the methods from classes with variables set from the XML file:
var functionToCall:String = xml.functions.func[0].to_fire.toString();
myClass[functionToCall]();
This calls the function perfectly.
I was wondering if there is anyway to pass parameters into the function as well through variables. Some functions may have no parameters, some functions could have 5... so the xml could be like this:
<functions>
   <func>
    <to_fire>function1</to_fire>
    <param>
     <value>true</value>
     <type>Boolean</type> 
    </param>
   </func>
   <func>
    <to_fire>function2</to_fire>
    <param/>
   </func>
   <func>
    <to_fire>function3</to_fire>
    <param>
     <value>false</value>
     <type>Boolean</type> 
    </param>
    <param>
     <value>My String Value</value>
     <type>String</type> 
    </param>
    <param>
     <value>10</value>
     <type>Number</type> 
    </param>
   </func>
</functions>
whats the best way to set something like this up?

how would I set something like that up?
in the class:
public function myFunction(_param1:String, _param2:Number):void {
then to call it, would ParamTypes be cast as an array or object or something?
var functionVariable:String = "myFunction";
myClass[functionVariable](??);
Or do I structure the XML file in some way to pass in the information?

Calling WebDynpro Application and Passing parameters

Hi,
I want to call a webdynpro application from another application and also i want to pass parameters to the called webdynpro application.
Is there an example on SDN which shows how this can be done. If not please advise how this can be done.
Thanks and Regards
Sidharth

Hi Sidharth,
until the tutorial is available, here's a step by step guide.
1. Create an outbound exit plug, for example "CallApp" in an interface view controller belonging to the calling component.
2. Add a string parameter 'Url' to the plug "CallApp". It's important that the parameter starts with uppercase 'U'.
3. Declare a controller usage of the interface view controller for the view controller, which will fire the plug.
4. Add an action to the calling view controller.
5. Add the following code snippet to the method body of the action handler. Change the application name "CalledApp" to the name of your called application and the wdThis.wdGet<YourInterfaceView>Controller().wdFirePlugCallApp(url) so that it matches the names you defined. The example will not work, if the application is not part of the deployable object the calling component resides in.
IWDDeployableObject componentDPO = wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart().getDeployableObject();
String appName = "CalledApp";
WDDeployableObjectPart[] applicationParts = componentDPO.getParts(WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
WDDeployableObjectPart appPart = null;
for (int idx = 0; idx < applicationParts.length; idx++) {
appPart = applicationParts[idx];
if (appPart.getShortName().equals(appName)) {
break;
appPart = null;
if (appPart == null) {
throw new WDRuntimeException(
"The application: " + appName + " is not a part of: " + componentDPO.getName());
Map urlParameters = new HashMap(1);
urlParameters.put(ClientConstants.APPLICATION_PREFIX + "Param1", "Parameter sent by caller.");
try {
String url = WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(appPart, urlParameters);
wdThis.wdGet<YourInterfaceView>Controller().wdFirePlugCallApp(url);
} catch (WDURLException e) {
throw new WDRuntimeException(e);
6. Add a string value attribute named "ReceivedParameter" to the context of the component controller owning the target interface view.
7. Declare a controller usage of this component controller for the target interface view controller.
8. Add a startup plug to the target interface view controller. Add a parameter ("Param1" in this example) to the plug. It's important, that the name of the plug parameter is the same (case sensitive) as used for the URL generation.
9. Add the following to the method body of the startup plug handler:
wdThis.wdGet<YourComponent>Controller().wdGetContext().currentContextElement().setReceivedParameter(Param1);
10. To check, if the parameter passing works, map a value attribute in a view controller to the component controller context and bind e.g. the text property of a TextView to that attribute.
Hope that helps.

Calling shell script from sql procedure

Hi gurus
Is it possible
1)to call a shell script from sql procedure
2)that shell script has to return one value
3)and again sql procedure(calling shell script) has to capture the return value.
please help me to write this script

You may NOT have EXECUTE privilege/ permissions on the DBMS_PIPE package. Check with your DBA.
Using DBMS_PIPE may not be that simple to implement. Just making a call to DBMS_PIPE procedure will not do anything. It will NOT trigger anything on the UNIX side.
. You will also need to :
1. Write a job (ie CRON) at UNIX side which will keep read the incoming pipe for new messages, Unpack the message and get the command to be executed at the UNIX side -- There will be a lot of work involved here + DBA presence/activity is also required.
As Justin has pointed out, try and use HOST command which is very simple or try and use Java.

Calling Shell Scripts in Business Workflow and Guided Procedures

Hi *,
is it possible to call shell scripts in business workflow and guided procedures? would need further documentation (how to, blog,...) about this issue.
Thx in advance,
Rene.

Hello,
Workflows consist of tasks.
A task executed an object's method.
Methods are written in ABAP.
In the method you can code whatever you like, including code to execute shellscripts.
How to do this is not really a workflow question, I would suggest asking in an ABAP forum on how to write a function module to do this in a pure ABAP context. Then it's just a matter of inserting it into a method for use in your WF.
Cheers,
Mike

How to open a page from a Form and pass parameters to the form on that page

I found a similar example on this forum, but it did not work for me:
declare
l_names owa.vc_arr;
l_values owa.vc_arr;
i number;
begin
PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve(l_names, l_values);
FOR i in 1..l_names.count
LOOP
htp.p(l_names(i) || ' ' || l_values(i));
END LOOP;
end;
By using this method i get the parameters for the Form, like the session ID, but not the parameters for the Page that the form is displayed in.
Another method I tried:
To open a Form from a Form and pass parameters works fine like this:
--In the After processing page PL/SQL event.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
if v_id > 0 then
htp.formOpen('PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=2649500412&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=ID&p_arg_values='||to_char(v_id),'post');
htp.formSubmit(NULL,'Upload Files');
htp.formClose;
end if;
End;
But I want to open a Page containing the Form instead of just opening the Form. Is this possible to open a Page and pass paramters to the page, and then let the form inside the Page access the passed paramters. The reason for this is that a Form cannot be based on a page template, or can it? When opening the form i want to keep the left menu, which I can if it is a page based on my template with the left menu.
Best regards
Halvor

Hi,
You can do this by calling the url of the page with the form. You can then use p_arg_names and p_arg_values to pass parameters. In the called form you can get the value from p_arg_names and p_arg_values and assign it to the form field.
You can call this code in the success procedure of the calling form.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
v_url varchar2(2000);
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
v_url := <page_url>;
if v_id > 0 then
call(v_url||'&p_arg_names=id&p_arg_values='||v_id);
end if;
End;
In the called form in "Before displaying form" plsql section write this code.
for i in 1..p_arg_names.count loop
if p_arg_names(i) = 'id' then
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_ID',
p_value => p_arg_values(i)
end if;
end loop;
This code picks up the value from p_arg_values and assigns it to the form field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Linking form and report and passing parameters

Is it possible to call a link with parameter from form to report? Let's say I have a form based on EMP table and when user clicks on DEPT_ID label I want to pass DEPT_ID as a parameter to a report showing detailed information about this department. All my attempts to do it were unsuccessful.
I've seen many questions like this in this thread and most answers refer to Portal FAQ document but there is NO information there on linking form forms to reports and passing parameters between them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
null

This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, you will need to create a button. Just click on the green plus sign at the top of the screen (when in edit mode) and then declare it a button by using the Item Type drop down. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function getField(form,fieldName)
var objName = "";
var tmp = "";
var dAction = "";
var sel_idx = 0;
var cnt = 0;
var instance = 0;
var slicedName;
var fillData = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
tmp = slicedName[2];
instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
if (!tmp)
continue;
objName = tmp;
if (objName == fieldName)
return form.elements[i].value;
//-->
</script>');
I hope this helps.

Shell script to start, stop and restart a JAR

Hi everyone,
Does anyone have idea to write a shell script to start, stop and restart a JAR under linux? it can indicate a method or parameter? Thanks!
this JAR inculdes a class with main method like this:
public class Client(){
public Client(String name){
public void stopClient(){
public static void main(String[] args){
new Client("/tmp/text.log");
}

Does anyone have idea to write a shell script to
start, stop and restart a JAR under linux? That part isn't really clear.
Start would be java -jar myjar.jar.
Stop could either be kill, which kills the whole process; kill -TSTP, which suspends the process, or some application-specific communication such as sending something over a port; or putting something into a file or something.
Restart could just be the same as start (if stop is just kill); kill -CONT, if stop was kill -TSTP; or some other app-specific communication.
