Sqlldr: run ctl file in unix

Hi,
I'm new to Unix.
How can I execute a control file in unix.
my control file is in /home/r226124/split/ctl folder
when trying to execute the command
sqlldr USERID=username/password@host CONTROL=Split.ctl LOG=Split.log
this is the error i'm getting
ksh: sqlldr: not found
Any help?
Thanks.

sqlldr is in /opt/oracle/product/client/102/bin/sqlldr
but when i run, i'm getting this error

Problems with sqlldr, creating .ctl file

Hi I am trying to load data from a .csv file into an oracle table. I have been successful with loading some .csv files but at this point I am stuck in loading one .csv file that creates incorrect rows.
The .csv file has rows commencing on a newline, with columns seperated by the delimiter ','. Unfortunately some values in the .csv file contain newline characters leaving blank lines in the .csv file then continuing on with a row on the next line. e.g.
"foo", "foofoo", "foofoo", "lalalala
lallalallala", "foo", "foo"
Does anyone know what is missing from my .ctl file below so that it accurately reads in the correct values. Also delimiters ',' are present inside values e.g. "foo, foo". Does the optionally enclosed by statement below ingore those cases which I want it to?
OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA
BADFILE 'import.bad'
APPEND
INTO TABLE tablename
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," optionally enclosed by '"'
--columns
Thanks

Can you get the data supplied to you without the newline characters in the strings? It would make it a lot easier.Unfortunately not as this is an assignment. I also tried the method of converting to a tab csv and adjusting the .ctl file respectively with the same result. Some records are perfect but others are not and I can not for the life of me pinpoint why. I am new to this and I can just tell like you guys have assured me of that newlines contained in values are ugly. But regardless im open to suggets if anyone has any.
Thank you greatly for your help too, its always appreciated.

Running SQL files in UNIX

Hi,
I have following files
1. SQL file which is created from shell script with same functionality.
2. SQL file which is a Procedure.
Both these SQLs are running successfully on Windows server. Will these SQLs run on UNIX server also?
Do I have to make any change in code so that they will run in UNIX?
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The SQL language is exactly the same between UNIX and windows. You only have to check none of your SQL files are refering to OS filenames with path included, because of course, OS path will not be the same between Unix and windows.
You might want to check character encoding and newlines before trying to run the script on a unix-box (especially in production... :-) )
If you can open and read the contents of the file, with say vi or less, you ought to be fine.

How to run .ksh file in unix from .jsp files

Hi frnd,
How to connect unix servers from .jsp file & I want to run unix scripts .ksh files from .jsp files
Thanku
bhupathipawan

It is usually a bad idea to do any major processing directly within a JSP. It is better to create a helper class and invoke methods on that. This helper class can then be tested outside of the inhospitable JSP environment.
To run the '.ksh' file you will need to use either Runtime.exec() or the more modern ProcessBuilder. You will save yourself a lot of grief if you read thoroughly the 4 sections of http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html and then implement the recommendations.
Note - although the 'traps' article is written around the use of Runtime.exec(), it's content is equally applicable to ProcessBuilder.

Lavanya,
This question relates to shell scripting and in IMO it is not an oracle question.
I have made some initial assumptions before my proposed solution.
PLEASE note that this is untested, but can just guide you as a template for solving your problem.
Assuming that you have properly set up the control file and mapped each and every table in it as per the file information which you have..
Assuming the text file to be in the format of : ------ (as suggested by other posters earlier, this file holds instructions about the file and table mapping which shall be used by your sqlldr process.)
tmp.txt:
text_file_1-------------should goes to----customer_info_table
text_file_2------------should goes to------customer_address_table
text_file_3-----------should goes to-------customer_order_table
while read line
do
SQLLDR CONTROL=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.ctl,
LOG=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.log,
BAD=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.bad,
DATA=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.txt
USERID=scott/tiger
done <tmp.txtAll I am trying to run from the above shell script is : -- PLEASE TEST it if it matches your requirement.
SQLLDR CONTROL=text_file_1.ctl, LOG=text_file_1.log, BAD=text_file_1.bad, DATA=text_file_1.txt USERID=scott/tiger
SQLLDR CONTROL=text_file_2.ctl, LOG=text_file_2.log, BAD=text_file_2.bad, DATA=text_file_2.txt USERID=scott/tiger
SQLLDR CONTROL=text_file_3.ctl, LOG=text_file_3.log, BAD=text_file_3.bad, DATA=text_file_3.txt USERID=scott/tigerRepeating my assumptions, I assume you have all those files required for SQLLDR process to run (ctl file, data file...)

Running Oracle Reports in unix, output in pdf file

Hi all,
Anybody currently running Oracle Reports in unix platform and the output is generated in pdf format & display in browser?
Can you please advise on what are all the environment variables that I have to set in order to get the report runs?
Besides, what are the specific printer setting that I have to set? as well as priviledge on directory if necessary.
My reports are created in PC with RDF format. When run in unix, can the RDF still be used or it has been to recompile? If recompile, how is this done?
I always get the following error but do not what is the cause:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'myreport.rdf'. REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document. REP-0110: Unable to open file 'myreport.rdf'.
Please advise.
Hope to receive your reply asap.
Great thanks in advance.

What command did you type in to run your report in Unix? Did you give the full path of your rdf file. I guess that the system may not be find your rdf file correctly.

Can SQLDeveloper 1.5.1 generate DIRECT=TRUE parm in sqlldr .ctl files?

is there an option in sqldeveloper to have this (nonlogged) option set in the generated sqlldr .ctl files? thx

Hi,
I confirm there is no OPTION to use the DIRECT mode.
For the simple reason you have restriction in DIRECT mode:
-Cannot load clustered tables.
-There can be no active transactions in the loaded tables.
-There can be no SQL functions used in the control file.
-If the target table is indexed, then no SELECT statements may be issued
against the table during the load.
So if you have a look to the .CTL files, the most part of the time, functions are used to translate datatypes correctly (ex: DECODE,HEXTORAW......)

SQLLDR: (CTL file) How to ONLY load 1 record of the CSV file

Hello,
We are in 11g, and we get CSV data.
I'd like to know if there is a way in the CTL file to specify that I only want to load first row ?
I know how to do it if there is a common unique value in the first row (WHEN myColumn = 'value1' )
BUT, in that case, first row doesn't hold any specific value, and I think that I have to tell the loader to take only first row.
I hope it is clear.
Here is the CTL, in the case we can get a specific value for first row:
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
APPEND
CONTINUEIF LAST != ";"
INTO TABLE IMPORT_FIRST_LINES
WHEN COL_3 = 'firstRowValue'
   FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( COL_1         CHAR
, COL_2         CHAR
, COL_3         CHAR)
{code}
So, I think I need to change the *WHEN clause*.
I hope it is clear enough for you to understand.
Thanks in advance,
    Olivier

just change the control file like this,
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1
APPEND
CONTINUEIF LAST != ";"
INTO TABLE IMPORT_FIRST_LINES
WHEN COL_3 = 'firstRowValue'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( COL_1 CHAR
----------- if you only want to load 1st column of csv file to first column in table.

Passing file name dynamically to sql loader ctl file

Hi,
I am new to scripting and I have a complex requirement involving writing a script.
Requierment:
I need to upload a CSV file from a FTP server into oracle table using SQL Loader. The file name resembles like APF0912312359.csv represents 31-DEC-2009 23:59 and there will be multiple files in same day indicated by differnt timestamp as its filename. Once I load a file using SQL loader, I need to move the file to another directory for archival.
Since the sql loader ctl file has a fixed file name, I would like to know how I can pass the file name dynamically to ctl file to load a new file every time it runs.
Any help is greatly appreciated..
Bye
Sudheer
Edited by: user2138419 on Oct 28, 2009 4:08 PM

I agree with Pradeep in regards to declaring the file names on the command line. However, I do have a concern regarding presenting the password on the command line as any user that can issue a ps (assuming Unix ~= Linux here) would be able to read it while the sqlldr command is running.
Unfortunately, you may not always have the option of declaring the files on the command line. I was recently challenged with this in a Windows 2003 Server environment running SQL*Loader: Release 10.2.0.1.0. In this environment I found that I am able to set a variable file name in a calling batch file and use that value in the control file successfully. Just to demonstrate the approach:
Batch file:
set IN_FILE=’c:\inbound\load_me.txt’
sqlldr user/pswd@db PARFILE=’c:\parameters.txt’
Parameter file:
errors=500000
rows=50000
control=%CTL_FILE%
bad=%BAD_FILE%
discard=%DSC_FILE%
log=%LOG_FILE%
Control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE ‘%IN_FILE%’
INSERT
INTO TABLE table_to_be_loaded
I’m really interested to see if this would work on Unix.

CTL file in OWB 9.2

I have a mapping with file as source. I want to generate a CTL file that contains actual physical directory of my location and not the location name. I have specified my own path where the control file for this mapping should get generated.
(1) When I generate this mapping <map.ctl> file has location_name of the file module and not the physical path in the ctl script.
(2) When I deploy this mapping - ctl file is not generated in the specified directory.
(3) Only when I execute this mapping thru OWB that a CTL file containing the physical location of the data file is generated in the OS directory.
My questions are :
(1) How do I generate a CTL file containing physical location - without executing the mapping thru OWB. I want to do that so that I can run from sqlldr directly.
(2) What is the function of Deploy in case of file to table mappings.
(3) What is the OWB recommended way of deploying and executing such mappings involving sqlldr in prod environment.

Vibha,
Sorry for the late response.
(1) How do I generate a CTL file containing physical location - without executing the mapping thru OWB. I want to do that so that I can run from sqlldr directly.
There should be no need to run from sqlldr directly. Warehouse Builder manages the execution in which case you get all the error handling and logging included in the runtime audit browser.
(2) What is the function of Deploy in case of file to table mappings.
Deploy stores the control file in the runtime repository, so that it can be picked up at execution time, temporarily be stored on the file system and OWB will then execute SQL loader natively.
(3) What is the OWB recommended way of deploying and executing such mappings involving sqlldr in prod environment.
Deploy to the production environment and execute it through OEM or a command line scheduling.
Mark.
