You can either use rsh or rexec (both available on windows). You will have to edit the .rhosts in the home directory of the unix user the script will be run under:
<Client-Hostname> <USER>
<USER> must match the Windows-User exactly.
You can then execute the Shell-Script with
host('rsh <HOST> -l <USER> sh <SCRIPT>',NO_SCREEN)
Hope that helps

Thank You Anton Weindl,
It seems like the thing I want to use instead of the dbms_pipe.
I tried to use rsh and gives me the following message
command: "rsh taurus -l nileshs test.sh"
where taurus is hostname and
guest is unix username
I am logged on windows 2000 with this name.
"taurus permission denied:"
"rsh can't establish connection"
Let me know if I am missing anything.
Thanks.

UNIX shell script error

HI
I am using below shell script to deploy components on server. I am facing issues while running this script from unix shell.
any help will be great.
Please find the script file attached.
Thanks in advance
Charvie

Hi,
Your script use the variable shell $XXMPP_TOP which is not defined in the script, take care of this.
And also, make sure where you execute this script (the command cp copys files in same directory where you execute your script)
cp XXMPP_PRE_DELIVERY_PO_VS.ldt           $XXMPP_TOP/bin/XXMPP_MEASURE_WS
cp XXMPP_PRE_DELIVERY_VENDOR_VS.ldt       $XXMPP_TOP/bin/XXMPP_MEASURE_WS
cp XXMPP_PREDEL.fmb                       $AU_TOP/forms/US
Also, make sure the command FNDLOAD exists. for more example about Oracle FNDLOAD Scripts

Run Unix command / Run Unix shell script from Forms9i

Hi,
I have a requirement to run Unix command and Unix shell scripts from Forms9i.
I know HOST command cannot be used directly. I also know we can create some JAVA stored procedure to perform the task, but I don't want to create any JAVA stored procedure as there are some security concerns.
Please point me towards any other way to achieve the same.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kumar

There is no reason why HOST can't be used. This is what it is for. As for using Java, it is not a stored procedure that you would be using, it would be imported Java (imported into the form).
The best way to use the HOST command is to call a script (.sh) rather than calling a Unix command directly. This is because HOST will not pick up environment variables set at the system level. So the script would first need to set the necessary environment variables then call the desired commands.

Invoking a servlet from an unix shell script

I have successfully created a servlet that when loaded via a browser takes input values in a form. After hitting "submit" the results are returned to the browser.
Now I would like to create an unix shell script that:
1. takes input values from the command line
2. invokes the servlet that does the necessary processing
3. returns the results (via echo, or in a text file, etc.)
Please give me any clues, hints, directions on
1. how to convert my existing servlet to accommodate a shell script
2. how to invoke the script within the shell script
Please refer me to any existing examples if available.
Thanks,
George

Using the code below as an example I think you are saying I should take the following steps in a java sample program:
1. in a sample program create an Testservlet object -
Testservlet newservlet = new Testservlet();
2. to send input to the servlet execute -
newservlet.doGet( ? , ? );
I'm not sure what the parameters should look like
but I guess one of them is the input value.
3. to get output from the servlet execute -
String results = null;
results = newservlet.doPost( ? , ? );
Again, I'm not sure what the parameters
should look like.
public class TESTservlet extends HttpServlet
String connPool;
public void init(ServletConfig config)
throws ServletException
super.init(config);
connPool = getInitParameter("dataSource");
if (connPool == null) {
System.err.println("This servlet requires a " +
" dataSource initArg." );
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
// first, set the "content type" header of the response
res.setContentType("text/html");
//Get the response's PrintWriter to return text to the client.
PrintWriter pw = res.getWriter();
pw.println("test");
String testinput = null;
try
testinput = req.getParameter("testinput");
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
pw.println("testinput = " + testinput");
finally
pw.close();
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter pw = res.getWriter();
pw.println("Test Servlet");
putForm(req, pw);
pw.println("</body></html>");
pw.close();
* putForm() writes an HTML form to the response
public void putForm(HttpServletRequest req,
PrintWriter pw)
throws IOException
pw.println("<form action=\"" +
req.getRequestURI() +
"\" method=post>");
pw.println("<p><strong>Test Input: </strong>");
pw.println("<input type=\"text\" " +
"name=\"testinput\" value=\" \" size=12 maxlength=12>");
pw.println("<p><input type=\"submit\" " +
" value=\"Submit Entries\" ");
pw.println("<p><input type=\"reset\" " +
" value=\"Clear Entries\" ");
pw.println("</form>");
} // END OF SERVLET

Calling UNIX shell script from ODI package?

Execute a unix shell script from forms9i

Hi ,
I would like to execute a unix shell script form a form when they pressed a button. The forms server is on Linux machine. I tried but when I pressed the button nothings happen. Could some one please help me how I could get working.
Is there is a way I could execute the unix shell script from PL/SQL proceudre or package.
Please some one help me.
Bain

You would not expect to see anything happening because the
script cannot directly send output to the web form. However, you can get it to write output to a file and use web.show_document in the form after the host command to display the file and see the output.

Call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure

We need to call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure
i.e. the control should come back to the procedure once the script completes. Can any body help to achieve this ?

There are various ways in achieving this.
For Example, you can call a PRO*C-Library residing on the database server.
This requires a PL/SQL library to be generated and some changes to the Listener configuration.
It is also possible to implement a java procedure on the database being invoked by a PL/SQL wrapper class.
In this way (and if used right) there is also granularity regarding the filestructure permissions given and it may be called during a Forms or other PL/SQL session.
The article below explains a more generic approach how to invoke shell commands from within an Oracle Instance.
Be careful with this, because it really works ;)

Pass commands to UNIX shell opened in Windows XP OS

I am currently running Labview 7.1 on a Windows XP box. I use Exceed to open a UNIX shell to do work in UNIX from my windows machine. I can open the UNIX shell with the sys exec vi but how do I pass commands to the UNIX shell I opened?

Also make sure you have

Note: The LabVIEW 8.0.1 and 8.2.1 run-time engines can co-exist
together with the LabVIEW 8.5 (and newer) run-time engine. You still
need to install the run-time engine's listed below to use VIPM, even if
you have a newer version of LabVIEW installed.
VIPM 1.1 and 2.0
VIPM 1.1 and 2.0 require the LabVIEW 8.2.1 run-time engine installed on your machine.
See also:Where do I get the LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run-Time Engine?
VIPM 1.0
VIPM 1.0 requires the LabVIEW 8.0.1 run-time engine installed on your machine.

Smercurio is right, and their is no OpenG package for the newer VIs so you will actually want to get them directly from CVS.

Calling a report from unix shell script

Hi,
I had to call a report from unix shell script.
May i know the procedure to accomplish this
Thanks in Advance
A.Gopal

First you should not include the whole path to your report in the call ...
Use like this:
/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/bin/rwrun.sh report=an_stati destype=file desname=/ora/u01/oracle/v101/as2/test.pdf desformat=pdf
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
1) Verify that you have updated the REPORTS_PATH variable to include your folder where you have the report in question
REPORTS_PATH=/ora/u20/app/qits/env1/run:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo: ....
2) Verify that the REPORTS_TMP variable is pointing to a valid location and that the oracle user has access to write on it.
After that, post the content of the tracefile located at $ORACLE_HOME/reports/logs/{in-process report server name folder}/rwserver.trc
If no file is present then it means that you need to enable trace in your reports's conf file.... go to the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf folder and and locate the .conf file that correspond to your in-process reports server name (as specified in the rwservelet.properties file)... open/edit the file to enable trace logs ..
i.e.
Change the following line:

to <trace traceOpts="trace_all"/>
Bounce the reports server and try to run the report again, this time the .trc file should be generated, post the content so that we can take a look.

Error while trying to execute a unix shell script from java program

     String file_location1 = "/opt/app/Hyperion/scripts/daily";

System.out.println( "Connected to the server1" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = br.readLine();

Error while executing unix shell script from java program

Hi All,
I am trying to execute unix shell script from a java program using Runtime.execute() method by passing script name and additional arguments.
Code snippet :
Java Class :
try{
     String fileName ="test.ksh";
     String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
     String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
     Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
     int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
     sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}Test.ksh
export -- application realated paths..
nohup abc.exe 1> test.log 2>&1;
$1
exit.By running the above java class , i am getting exit Value: 139 and log file test.log of 0 bytes.
when i am running the same command (/usr/bin/ksh test.ksh satish) manually, it's calling abc.exe file successfully
and able generate the logs properly.
Pls let us know where exactly i am stuck..
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Satish

Hi Sabre,
As per the guidelines provided by the article, i had done below changes..
InputStream is = null;
InputStreamReader iStreamReader = null;
BufferedReader bReader = null;
String line = null;
try{
String fileName ="test.ksh";
String argValue ="satish"; // value passed to the script
String exeParam = "/usr/bin/ksh "+fileName+" "+argValue;
Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exeParam);
is = proc.getErrorStream();
iStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(is);
bReader = new BufferedReader(iStreamReader);
System.out.println("<ERROR>");
while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Error is : "+line);
System.out.println("</ERROR>");
int exitValue = proc.waitFor();
sop("Exit Value is : "+exitValue);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
Now , it's showing something like..
<ERROR>
</ERROR>

Need Help in creating Unix Shell Script for database

Would be appreciable if some one can help in creating unix shell script for the Oracle DB 10,11g.
Here is the condition which i want to implement.
1. Create shell script to create the database with 10GB TB SPACE and 3 groups of redo log file(Each 300MB).
2. Increase size of redolog file.
3. Load sample schema.
4. dump the schema.
5. Create empty db (Script should check if db already exists and drop it in this case).
6. Create backup using rman.
7. restore backup which you have backed up.

This isn't much of a "code-sharing" site but a "knowledge-sharing" site. Code posted me may be from a questioner who has a problem / issue / error with his code. But we don't generally see people writing entire scripts as responses to such questions as yours. There may be other sites where you can get coding done "for free".
What you could do is to write some of the code and test it and, if and when it fails / errors, post it for members to make suggestions.
But the expectation here is for you to write your own code.

Reg: UNIX shell script at File Adapter

Hi all,
I am doing a File to file scenario and using command line arguments in Sending file adapter. I am using UNIX shell script ".sh" file for executing the command.
I gave the following path at "Run OS command before message processing" parameter:
/temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
and this file contains following code:
<b>#!/user/bin/sh cp /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_in.txt /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_input_copy4.txt</b>
I put the source file, FILOSC004_in.txt and shell script files at the respective paths.
If I give "cp" command directly in command line it is working fine. But I could not execute this with shell script. Can any body give me the reason where I gone wrong.
Regards,
Pavani.

Hi,
can you try this,
bash /temp/xidelivery/send/FILOSC004_shell.sh
let me know.
hey you can check the blog below to catch the OS errors,
