Specifying the container to connect to from command line utilities (sqlplus/expdp etc)

Hi,
To kick off this forum I've been playing around with 12c multitenant/pluggable features and I've a general question about connections to the container database - it seems from everything i tried so far (and everything I've read) that there is no way to connect to a container database without going through a sqlnet connection. For example:
export ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID etc
sqlplus username/password -- this can only connect to the container database? (once you are in you can alter session to switch to the plugable database but can;t do it directly in the connection)
to connect to a plugged in database you always have to go through sqlnet
sqlpus username/password@pluggable
there is no option to say something like:
export ORACLE_SID=container
export ORACLE_CONTAINER=pluggable
and then do sqlplus username/password ?
or some extra command line switch like
export ORACLE_SID=container
sqlplus -container=pluggable username/password
Is that understanding correct or have i missed something in the documentation?
Regards,
Harry

Hello Richard,
In Oracle Multitenant the only way to connect to a PDB is by specifying a service.
However, there is a shortcut that you can use - TWO_TASK, which you will find documented elsewhere.
This allows you to specify the default service to be used - think of it as being appended silently to your username/password specification. I hope this helps.
Regards, Patrick

Error while running a Discoverer Workbook with parameter from command line

I am trying to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls on to my local machine. I could do it fine for a simple workbook, but if I add a parameter(madatory) to the workbook and run it from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for, I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr.exe /connect user/password@database /apps_user /apps_responsibility "System Administrator" /eul EUL_US /open C:\Disco\Test.DIS /sheet Testsheet /parameter Period Jan-07 /export xls C:\Disco\X.xls /batch
Parameter value is entered in correct format(Jan-07).
When I removed /batch from this to see if I get any error, Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Did anybody come across this issue before?

Hello,
If you have a few minutes, Windows is also aborting for me:
the differences are, my situation is:
a) am running the command line from a .bat file
b) am NOT running with parms, want the discoverer query to come up for the user
c) am running a query from the database
i am signing in as myself BUT running a query that was created by a generic user called SREG
c) if i run the .bat file from Windows Explorer, the query opens fine
d) if i execute the .bat file from within Microsoft Access using the shell command,
the query opens and then aborts RIGHT BEFORE the parm screen would display
e) btw, if i modify the .bat file, to run a query from MY database signon, then (d) - running .bat file
from vb using SHELL command works
Do you have a ideas as to why (d) does not work? I would be very grateful for your time, tx, sandra
this is what i posted yesterday, tx: Re: Running Discoverer command line

Ummm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

How to automatically generate a build file of the application from command-line

Hi All
How can we automatically generate a build file of the application from command-line (as opposed to using Jdev IDE to click to generate a build.xml) ?
Thanks

User, which jdev version do you use?
I don't think you can do this. You can only create an ant build.xml from the project inside jdev.
You can use ojdeploy to build the project. This is the only method which will also make the necessary changes to the descriptors.

How can pass the data from Command line to Applet?

Hi,
I am writing a chat application by using sockets. For that purpose I need to pass the parameter data from command line to Applets. Is there any method to receive command line args data in Applets? If so please tell me.

Passing command line arguments to an applet is not possible, but for the same you can try using param tags, within your applet tag.
For eg:
<applet.......>
<param name="xyz" value="abcdef">
</applet>
Within the applet's any method like init call <getParameter("xyz");>
will return u the value.

How to delete more than one workbook from command line

Hi, I'd like to delete more than one workbook from command line:
The following syntax, it doesn't work....but I followed the manual instructions:
dis51adm.exe /connect eul/eul@uatdb /delete /workbook "ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2" /eul eul /log D:\Ale\delete.log
where:
eul/eul@uatdb: is the db’s schema/user where the EUL is installed;
/delete "ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2": is the command to delete the workbooks, specified inside the “” (with the relative path)
/log D:\Ale\delete.log: is the command to write a log’s file named “delete.log” to track the action
The log file says:
22/4/2008 4:00:26 μμ
dis51adm.exe /connect /delete /workbook ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2 /eul eul /log D:\Ale\delete.log
Document ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2 not found in EUL.
Internal EUL Error: ObjectNotFound - Can't find EUL element
There are 0 eul elements to be deleted.
Completed deleting eul elements.
22/4/2008 4:00:29 μμ
Anyone can tell me how is the right syntax ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Hi Rod
I was coming to that conclusion myself but wanted to wait until the other avenues had been exhausted first - aka making sure of the workbook names.
I checked through all of the command line documentation and read nothing which clearly indicated that only one workbook could be processed at a time, other than the fact that the syntax says workbook and not workbooks, which could be a big clue.
I think you are right though in that it has to be one at a time, which would be a pain.
Best wishes

To run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge

Hi,
How to run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge?
Usually with tns, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@tns".
with odbc, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@odbc:DSN"
Please specify, what is command line arguments for jdbc-odbc bridge driver?

Hello Ramanan,
Report Builder : connect JDBC Query in Report Builder is to through Connection Dialog in JDBC Query Editor. User can use a Sign on parameter (can use, default : P_JDBCPDS or can create new) to connect to JDBC Data Source. Connection once made will be mentioned and will be reused through out Reports Builder.
JDBC PDS allows user to connect one or more same or different kind of databases.
While running report through runtime or Server, user can pass the sign on parameter(connection string) value, like any other user parameter.
Syntax for connection string : <username>/<password>@databaseURL . The syntax of database part of connection string depend on the type of JDBC Driver used to connect to Data Source while designing the JDBC Query. databaseURL refer to the location of the database and its format depend on the JDBCPDS river selected in design time while creating the JDBC Query.
rwrun eg :
rwrun report=jdbc_odbc.rdf destype=file desname=output.html desformat=html P_JDBCPDS=scott/tiger@database
Server eg :

The Test project jar is created as ADF Library JAR File with Model.jpr as the dependent project. This takes care of project class dependencies
All the adf library dependencies are added to the manifest file of the Test Project jar referring to a location lib/ in the jar file directory.
I tried creating the ApplicationModule using both Configuration class (Configuration.createRootApplicationModule) as well as using the JDBC Connection String but both fail when I run the test cases independently from jmeter.
Anybody came across such an error? Please help.
Thanks,

Hi Timo,
Im using JDev version 11.1.1.6.0.
I checked the class path on the jdev console. All the library references are mentioned in the manifest.mf classpath of the test project like below:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: lib/identitystore.jar
lib/adfm.jar
lib/groovy-all-1.6.3.jar
lib/adftransactionsdt.jar
lib/adf-dt-at-rt.jar
lib/adfdt_common.jar
lib/adflibrary.jar
lib/xmlparserv2.jar
lib/db-ca.jar
lib/jdev-cm.jar
lib/ojmisc.jar
lib/commons-el.jar
lib/jsp-el-api.jar
etc...
So I expect the library references should be resolved looking at the manifest file.
Another set of entries that I see in the jdev classpath are related to the Model project which is under test.
-classpath
D:\CurrentProject_1\16_7_2013_3pm\11_7_2013\.adf;
D:\CurrentProject_1\16_7_2013_3pm\11_7_2013\Model\classes;
How do I put these entries into my class path? Will it be sufficient if I add the Model.jar into my test project classpath?
Thanks,
Sapna

Grant and revoke privilages from command line interface

hi all,
I have a lot of users that I need to give them a set of privileges to folders and containers of the repository, i thought that using the command line interface should help in loading a script.
i checked the manual for the syntax for such a command (i.e. to grant privileges) but i couldn't, searched the net and i didn't find anything.
So can we grant privileges from the command line interface and how ?
by the way is there anyway to create users from command line interface as well ?\
thanks in advance and have a good one

The granting of access rights cannot be done with a CLI script in Designer. Instead you have to use the Designer API Pl/Sql packages.
For detailed information, refer to the "API and Model Reference Guide", which is
installed with the Designer Repository Documentation, or can be found on OTN > Doco > Designer site.
Scroll through that document to the Reference section. You will need to read up on two topics at least: Workarea and Container Context, Privileges and Access Rights.
To grant rights, the easiest way is to grant them "just like some existing ones".
To do this, you'll need a Pl/Sql procedure with 5 input parameters:
1) the workarea context
2) the container to look at
3) the user to look like
4) the container to grant access to
5) the user to grant access for
The Pl/Sql procedure then needs to make a series of Repository API package calls to set context and get container IRIDs:
JR_CONTEXT.Set_Workarea (workareaname) - to set the context workarea
JR_CONTEXT.Set_Working_Folder (sourcefoldername) - to specify the source container
JR_CONTEXT.Working_Folder (sourcefolderid) - to get the ID of the source container
JR_CONTEXT.Set_Working_Folder (targetfoldername) - to specify the target container
JR_CONTEXT.Working_Folder (targetfolderid) - to get the ID of the target container
OR you can just do a couple queries after you set the WA CONTEXT such as ...
Select IRID from CI_Application_Systems where NAME = <sourcefoldername>
Select IRID from CI_Application_Systems where NAME = <targetfoldername>
Then you get the list of rights desired, and grant them back to the target user.
JR_ACC_RIGHTS.Get_Acc_Rights (sourcefolderid, sourceusername) > AccessList
[gets list of existing rights for some user on a container]
JR_ACC_RIGHTS.Grant_Priv_List (targetfolderid, targetusername, AccessList, Cascade? = TRUE)
[to set the list of rights for a user against the target container and its subcontainers]
There are other ACC_RIGHTS packages, like Grant_Priv, Revoke_Prive, Revoke_Priv_List, etc that you can use as well to build up a set of access management scripts.
Hope this helps

VPN Client disconnection from command line

Hi,
I want to connect to IPsec VPN on ISA500 by VPN Client (v 5.0.07.0440, the last version, I think), using command line parameters.
I can connect with the command:
"%programfiles%\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\ipsecdialer.exe" -c -user myUser -pwd myPassword "MyConnectionEntry"
but i don't know the command to disconnect from command lines.
If I do
"%programfiles%\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\ipsecdialer.exe" -?
I obtain the list of parameters
vpngui [-c | -sc [sd] [-user <username>] [-pwd <password> ! -eraseuserpwd]] <connection entry>
but I don't unterstand what I have to do... I try every combination using -sd parameter (I think means for silent disconnect), but in every case I can only to show VPN interface without disconnect anything...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Prasath,
This appears to be a data flow issue. You need to look in the dataflow log file. Your information indicates the project name is SAMPLES.xml, and the data flow ID is D20091213_014350765. Look at the data flow log file in
C:\dqxi\11_7\repository\configuration_rules\runtme_metadata\project_SAMPLES\D20091213_014350765
Alternatively, you can temporarily replace the transactional reader and writter transforms with their corresonding batch transforms, and run the job from the Project Architect. Any errors will be displayed in the Running window.

Running FlexUnit tests from command line

Sorry if that has been posted before: I searched best I could and nothing came up.
I am interested in building and running my unit tests from the command line so we can add it to a nightly build process.
I am *very* new to all this: basically I picked up Adobe Flash Builder 4 a month ago and I have done *everything* inside that IDE: writing code, building, testing, running.
I looked into at least how to build something from the command line, I found this:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSbde04e3d3e6474c4-59108b2e1215eb9d5e4-8000 .html
Can't get past this error:
Buildfile: /Users/dbanks/build_test.xml
BUILD FAILED
Target "FlexUnitApplication" does not exist in the project "null".
Total time: 0 seconds
Adobe Flash Builder 4:
An error has occurred. See the log file
/Users/dbanks/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4/.metadata/.log.
Plus, even if I got this going, I am just building the swf. I also want to run it and capture the output in some meaningful way that can be read/evaluated/acted on.
FWIW, the script/xml I am using to try to build:
build_test.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="main">
    <target name="main">
        <fb.exportReleaseBuild project="NightclubMogul" />
    </target>
</project>
execute_build_test.sh:
WORKSPACE="$HOME/Documents/AdobeFlashBuilder4"
# works with either FlashBuilder.app or Eclipse.app
"/Applications/AdobeFlashBuilder4" \
    --launcher.suppressErrors   \
    -noSplash   \
    -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner   \
    -data "$WORKSPACE"    \
    -file "/Users/dbanks/build_test.xml" FlexUnitApplication
I am not clear what in here is actually supposed to point to where my project lives: it's off in some directory somewhere. I see that I am pointing to a workspace (Documents/AdobeFlashBuilder4) but when I poke around in there I don't see anything connecting back to the directories where the code lives.
Any help would be great: getting the tests to build from command line, then getting them to run.

C:\>sqlplus @myscript
That would be the easiest variation
C:\>sqlplus user/passwd@tns_alias @myscript
would be an often used variation
And then there is of course the version with parameter passing:
C:\>sqlplus user/passwd@tns_alias @myscript param1 ... paramx
Dunno about MSBuild

1- Is it because it depends on how jpr or jws are configured ?
2- How can we automatically generate a build file of the application from command-line (as opposed to using Jdev IDE to click to generate a build.xml) ?

The first warning is happening because you're stating drivers for input devices without need. You haven't disabled hotplug so evdev gets used instead of kbd. This is normal, and you should change the driver line from kbd to evdev so that whatever options (if any) you've specified for the keyboard get parsed.
The second warning is about you not installing acpid.
The third I have no idea about, but look at the synaptics wiki. None of the (WW) are related to your video card.
And every card that has 2 or more output ports show up as "two cards". You also don't need to specify the pci port in xorg.conf. edit: this is the general case with laptops, might be different for desktops.
When I do lspci -v I get:

And it doesn't matter if it errs in trying to sli up with it self. That's just not a possibility.

Query runs from command line, but not from scheduler

We use Control-M to schedule shell scripts to be run on a Solaris server. Some of the scripts have to access an Oracle database and in that case our security team will include the DB user and password in the script, then encrypt it and the sys admin team schedules the encrypted shell script with Control-M. That works fine, but we've been trying to have the DB user and password on a separate encrypted file so that we don't have to ask for file encryption every time it's necessary to modify a script (this is a test environment).
We have the script at ~/system_name/scripts, the query at ~/system_name/sql and the encrypted file and key at ~/system_name/keys. The SQLPlus call in the script is:
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/sqlplus "`decrypt -a 3des -k ./../keys/key.3des.system -i ./../keys/login.system`"@instance_name <<EOF
@${DIR_SQL}/TEST_QUERY.SQL
quit
EOF
The security analyst has tested is successfully from command line, but when we schedule it with Control-M the job abends and we get the following in the sysout:
+ decrypt -a 3des -k ./../keys/key.3des.system -i ./../keys/login.system
decrypt: cannot open ./../keys/key.3des.system
decrypt: invalid key.
+ /u00/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/bin/sqlplus @instance_name
+ 0<<
@/sistemas/hmp/system_name/sql/TEST_QUERY.SQL
quit

Any ideas?

Looks like the command is being split in some way - the connection to sqlplus is being made before it completes the whole string
It appears to be seeing the @instance_name as a script to execute rather than a db to connect to.
Is the database on the same server as the script?
If so, try setting your environment to the correct databsae, so that you can omit the @instance_name part of the syntax and see if it helps
Also just noticed the failure to open the decrypt script. It would appear uyou are not using a full path name. Have you checked which directroy the scheduled job starts in? You may need to look at running some environment specific scripts first.

Specifying the container to connect to from command line utilities (sqlplus/expdp etc)
