  • Calling stored procedure from unix shell script

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem while calling a stored procedure from UNIX shell script. I want to return a output variable from the stored procedure to the UNIX environment.
    Here is the code-
    #!/bin/sh
    OUTPUT=`sqlplus cmag/magnum@dw <<ENDOFSQL
    set serveroutput on;
    var prd_out varchar2(100);
    exec create_pm_window(:prd_out);
    exit;
    ENDOFSQL`
    echo " output is - $OUTPUT"
    The problem is :prd_out is not getting copied to shell variable OUTPUT.
    I have a dbms_output.put_line in the stored proc create_pm_window and I can see that prd_out is getting populated.
    Any help is really appreciated.
    Thanks'
    Rakhee

    First step :
    make sure the PL/SQL works as expected.
    Does the following display the expected output executed from SQL*Plus ?
    set serverout on
    declare
    prd_out varchar2(100);
    begin
    create_pm_window(prd_out);
    dbms_output.put_line('output is '||prd_out);
    end;
    I don't have your procedure, but using a dummy procedure like :
    Scott@my10g SQL>create procedure foo(p_out in out varchar2)   
      2  is
      3  begin
      4  select 'Hello '||instance_name into p_out from v$instance;
      5  end;
      6  /
    Procedure created. and a toto.sh script as :OUTPUT=`sqlplus -s scott/tiger <<EOF
    set pages 0 lines 120 trimout on trimspool on tab off echo off verify off feed off serverout on
    var mavar varchar2(100);
    exec foo(:mavar);
    print mavar;
    exit;
    EOF`
    echo "OUT = ${OUTPUT}"
    exitIt works fine :[oracle@Nicosa-oel ~]$ ./toto.sh
    OUT = Hello my10g

  • 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.

  • Execute stored procedure from Unix shell script

    My current method of executing stored procedures (wpl_1 and wpl_2) from a unix shell script is as follows:
    <<wpl.sh>>
    sqlplus user/password @/home/oracle/scripts/wpl.sql
    <<wpl.sql>>
    set serveroutput on size 1000000
    set timing on

    Question: Is it possible to combine the two scripts (unix and oracle) together?

    A little rusty on this, but this may work:

  • Controlling a procedure execution from a UNIX shell script

    I want to control the execution of a PL/SQL procedure from a UNIX shell script.
    Below, I include the script.
    The control variable which should recive the return of the procedure, dosen't work well.
    I want to control the return, because I wanr to make a UNIX script to control the execution of
    a load data process with some Oracle procedures.
    #!/bin/ksh
    echo "Executing procedure pl/sql"
    SQLPLUS="sqlplus -s /"
    ESQUEMA="esquema1"
    echo "\
    call ${ESQUEMA}.Z_PROC_PRUEBA();" | $SQLPLUS
    echo "Controlling pl/sql execution"
    var_err=$?
    if [ $var_err -gt 0 ]
    then
    echo "Error executing pl/sql"
    else
    echo "pl/sql finished sucessfully"
    fi

    This is not oracle problem. You can try something like this in your shell program ->
    DEV=Udev01/1ods@ODS1
    DEV_ID=`sqlplus -s ${DEV} <<!
             set heading off feedback off verify off
             set serveroutput on
             @/prod/ods/satyaki/prac/ctl_build.sql '$1' '$3';  -- If you sql needs to pass argument
             exit
             !`
    O_DIV_ID=`echo $DIV_ID | tr -s " " | sed 's/^[ ]//g'`
    if [[ $O_DIV_ID -ne 0 ]]; then
          echo "Successfully EXecuted.."
    else
      echo "Failed..."
    fiHope this will help.

  • 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 ;)

  • How can i call a Stored Procedure procedure from Unix shell script

    Hi All,
    I want to call a Strored PL-SQL Procedure through Unix shell script.
    Can any body help me with this.
    Regards,
    Saurabh

    I prefer a seperate script like the other poster mentioned. However, most shells can use a 'here' document as well ...
    sqlplus uid/pwd <<END
    exec myproc
    exit
    ENDRichard

  • Starting Unix Script from pl/sql procedure

    I would like to start any unix shell script out of oracle.
    I don't want use DBMS_PIPES, because then I always need a unix daemon.
    Is there a package wich allows to a call similar to
    "os_result := dbms_systemcalls.call_unix_system
    ('/usr/bin/ls -la');
    null

    What version of Oracle are we talking about here? If it's v8 then I think what you're after is a pl/sql external procedure which I can tell you how to set up.

  • Do I run a shell script (bsh) via PL/SQL stored procedure?

    Hello guys,
    Do I run a shell script (bsh) via PL/SQL stored procedure?
    For example:
    procedure X is
    (variables)
    begin
    -- Read file data
    vFileHandle := utl_file.fopen('/mnt/novell/', 'file.txt','r');
    exception
    when 'INVALID READ FILE' then
    (I've to try running script to mount a Novell partition.);
    end;
    I've to installed Oracle 9.0.1 on Suse Linux.
    Please, any ideas or hints ...
    Thx and regards.

    You might be able to us the HOST command, I think you'd have to run it via dbms_sql, check this page for more details, not sure if it'll be of help but its worth a try..

  • Running SQLPLUS from UNIX shell script

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but...
    How can I execute a sql file from inside the UNIX shell script, logging on to Oracle w/o supplying a UID/pwd? Normally, we log into UNIX using our own logon, then sudo as another user to login to Oracle. Now, I'm trying to create a UNIX shell script, where I'm already sudo'd as the UserID that logs into Oracle. I've tried the following, but can't get it to work. I'm a UNIX scripting noob. Any ideas?
    example:
    #! /usr/bin/ksh
    sqlplus / \@test.sql << EOF
    exit;
    EOF

    I'm a UNIX scripting noob.In which case I feel obligated to point you at William Robertson's excellent article Database Shellscripts Considered Harmful. Save yourself a world of pain.

  • Unable to pass parameter in oracle procedure through unix shell script

    Hi Experts,
    I have oracle procedure where in I have to pass the value of procedure parameter through unix script.
    Follwoing is the sample procedure which i tried to exceute from the unix.
    Procedure:
    create or replace procedure OWNER.PRC_TESTING_OWNER(OWNER IN VARCHAR2) AS
    sql_stmt varchar2(1000) := NULL;
    v_count number := 0;
    v_owner varchar2(100) := owner;
    begin
    sql_stmt:='select count(1) from '||v_owner||'.EMP@infodb where rownum<=10';
    execute immediate sql_stmt into v_count;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sql_stmt);
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_count);
    END;The script which I used is:
    Unix
    #!/bin/ksh
    parm=$1
    echo start
    sqlplus -s scott@DEV/tiger <<EOF >>result_1.txt
    set serveroutput on;
    select '$parm' from dual;

    EOFThe script is working fine that is i am able to pass to parameter value through unix shell script. :)
    But if I want to pass the value of the owner in cursor , I am unable to pass this value through unix.
    Following the procedure which i am trying to implement.
    create or replace procedure OWNER.PRC_TESTING_OWNER(OWNER IN VARCHAR2) IS

    END LOOP;
    END LOOP;How can i pass parameter value of the stored procedure through unix script(that is "owner" in this case), when these parameter value is
    used in cursor? :(
    Can anybody help me regarding the same?
    Thanks in Advance !! :D

    It's not the parameter in the cursor that is the problem, it's that you are trying to use static SQL for something that won't be known until run time (the owner of the table).
    You would need to use something like ...
    declare
       l_owner        varchar2(30) := 'SCOTT';
       l_ref_cursor   sys_refcursor;  
       type l_ename_tab is table of scott.emp.ename%type;
       l_ename_array  l_ename_tab;
    begin
       open l_ref_cursor for
          'select ename
          from ' || l_owner || '.emp';
       loop
          fetch l_ref_cursor bulk collect into l_ename_array limit 10;
          exit when l_ename_array.COUNT = 0;
          for x in 1 .. l_ename_array.count
          loop
             dbms_output.put_line(l_ename_array(x));
          end loop;
       end loop;
       close l_ref_cursor;
    end;

  • 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:
    <!--trace traceOpts="trace_all"/-->
    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.
