Unix shell script should execute (run) webI report.

Hi
i am new to BO.
I have webI reports developed, can any one tell me how to execute a webI reprot using unix sheel script.

Hello Vijaya,
Thatu2019s an interesting question. BusinessObjects does not supply any native UNIX shell interfaces or scripts for running/executing Webi Reports. Not knowing what it is you are exactly trying to accomplish Iu2019ll give a very general answer.
I have had several customers who had requirements to have external systems execute, refresh and export reports in BusinessObjects Enterprise before. These external systems could execute a shell script so what they have ended up doing is creating generic Java applications that use the BusinessObjects BOE Java SDK. Once they had the Java application created their external application could execute a java directory or they created shell wrappers that were called. So what you could do is create some Java applications that wrap the functionally you need and then execute those from the command line.
With that said there is a lot of functionally built into BusinessObjects Enterprise. If I was to know exactly what you were trying to achieve I might be able to point you in the direction of an existing product feature.
Cheers,
David.

UNIX Shell Script - Maxl - executing 4 Maxl script at the same time

Hi,
I wrote a UNIX shell script that basically call 4 maxl script to execute at once. But it seem to executing 2 maxl and then it goes to the last script. So, script 4a,4b,4c, & 4d should execute all at the same time. But for some reason at random only two script is being executed. And then it would go to script 5. Anybody have any answer to why it's doing this? Or is it something i'm doing it is incorrect help please?
I'm running essbase 11.1.2
Here is my script:
#!/bin/sh
# Maxl script to run
export MAXL_SCRIPT_1=/hyperion/..../script1.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_2=/hyperion/..../script2.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_3=/hyperion/..../script3.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4a=/hyperion/..../script4a.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4b=/hyperion/..../script4b.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4c=/hyperion/..../script4c.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_4d=/hyperion/..../script4d.maxl
export MAXL_SCRIPT_5=/hyperion/..../script5.maxl
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_1 "

/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_4c " &
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_4d " &
wait
/usr/bin/sh -c "cd /hyperion/...../bin/; ./startMaxl.sh $MAXL_SCRIPT_5 "
echo Done.
Thanks,

Thanks!
I just noticed that the problem was due to something *within my application*.
I explain:
i built an application and I want it to be activated by my script.
I have another script running, but this is not a problem as I discovered later...
The problem is indeed that my script activates my application, but even when my application is opened, so it succeded, it stays hanged.
I found that the same thing does not happen with regulare applications, such as Safari or iTunes, so i narrowed down the probglem to my application...
Is there something i should do to it?
I checked the "scriptable" checkbox inside my application plist, but the result is still the same...

Unix shell script wont execute from ODI

Hi All.
I have an interface that calls a shell script to append a record number to a flat file. The shell script is called by the Execute OS command action.
This works fine in our dev environment as we have migrated the code to a new environment it no longer works.
The error I'm getting from the session task is "wrong process code: 127" and from the session step
ODI-1226: Step Append Record Number into the file fails after 1 attempt
ODI-1242: Operating System command execution fails
I'n calling the shell script as below:
sh xxc_rms_append_record_number.sh
The shell is in the same directory as the agent i.e. agent/bin
Thanks in adavance
Guy

Hi ,
I assume you are using ODI 11g.
Please try / check the below steps --
1> Try to use OdiOsCommand instead of OSCommand .
2> Try to execute the shell script in the directory in the path you want to run (not from ODI)
3> Recheck the path whether you should run in that directory or not (Environment wise directory can be changed)
Thanks

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

Hi
I have written a program to execute a unix shell script in a remote machine. I am using J2ssh libraries to estabilish the session connection with the remote box.The program is successfully able to connect and authenticate with the box.
The runtime .exec() is been implemented to execute the shell script.I have given below the code snippet.
try {
     File file_location = new File("/usr/bin/");
     String file_location1 = "/opt/app/Hyperion/scripts/daily";
     String a_mib_name = "test.sh";
     String cmd[] = new String[] {"/usr/bin/bash", file_location1, a_mib_name};
     Runtime rtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = rtime.exec(cmd, null, file_location);
System.out.println( "Connected to the server1" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
String line = br.readLine();
while(line !=null)
System.out.println(line);
line = br.readLine();
br.close();
p.getErrorStream ().close ();
p.getOutputStream().close();
int retVal = p.waitFor();
System.out.println("wait " + retVal);
//session.executeCommand("ls");
catch (IOException ex) {
I get an error message

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>

RFC_REMOTE_PIPE is Returning 1 alwasys and not able to execute Unix shell script

Hello All,

2. placed this file on application server /Usr/sap/test.sh
3. executing ABAP program which as FM RFC_REMOTE_PIPE
CODE:
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE'
   DESTINATION 'SERVER_EXEC'
EXPORTING
   command = lv_command
   read          = 'X'
TABLES
   pipedate    = lt_stdout
EXCEPTIONS
system_failure = 1
communication_failure = 2.
if i populate lv_command = echo "hello" it works fine
if i give .sh file path in lv_command it is not working. it returns 1.
Please help...
I was searching SDN i found that rfcexec service should be enabled... how do i check that..
i checked t code \SMGW , i don't see any output...
i checked FM GWY_READ_CONNECTED_SYSTEMS, i don't hsee anyting related to unix...
Please suggest.

I resolved the issue.
It was issue with permission.
Script file should have full permission ( Mode 777)..

Executing Unix shell scripts with DBMS_SCHEDULER

I have the following Unix shell script create_backup_file.sh:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ssh [email protected] /usr/bin/touch/app_home/home/trotestbat/scripts/TRO_batch_complete_`date +%d-%m-%Y-%H%M`
If I execute this from the command prompt it creates the file on the remote server.
I've used dbms_scheduler to try and execute this from Oracle:
BEGIN
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_PROGRAM
program_name => 'CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,program_type => 'EXECUTABLE'
,program_action => '/APP/TORPEDO/DTE/SCRIPTS/create_backup_file_tro.sh'
,number_of_arguments => 0
,enabled => TRUE
,comments => NULL
SYS.DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'DTE.TESTAGAIN'
,start_date => TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('2010/05/17 16:09:24.710789 +01:00','yyyy/mm/dd
hh24:mi:ss.ff tzh:tzm')
,repeat_interval => NULL
,end_date => NULL
,program_name => 'DTE.CREATE_TRO_BACKUP_FILE'
,comments => NULL
END;
The problem I have is that scheduler executes the shell script and creates the file but it never completes the job. The status of the job is permanently 'RUNNING'. Why is the scheduler not returning a completed status?

the "infinite" script is usually caused by a prompt (script pauses for a user input).
Please keep in mind that executing script via scheduler is not the same as manually via prompt.
1. the script runs as ORACLE user ID (or whatever you specified using DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_credential or/and "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora")
2. the environment variables are probably not the same.
My wild guess is that you never ran SSH using "oracle" UID and thus it prompts for permission to add the remote computer’s fingerprint to the user’s ~/.ssh/known_hosts file - since it is a script, it just hangs and waits for input.
Did you try to login to unix box as oracle uid and run the script manually?

Executing java from unix shell script

Sounds like you either have a corrupt class file or you're using an older version of the JVM to try to execute classe that were compiled for a newer version.

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.

Exit status running java classpath in a unix shell script

I'm new to putting java into unix scripts. I have a java classpath running inside of a unix shell script. During my testing it will error with java.io.FileNotFoundException error, which I know why that is, but when I set in my unix shell script this to see the right exit status of success/fail, it always shows a 0 for success when that isn't really the case. Below is the two lines I have set to capture the exit status and just display that exit status for now.
notifycode=$?
echo $notifycode
I have these 2 lines above on a line right below my java command in my unix shell script. How can I get my unix shell script to show the right exit status if the java classpath command fails? Thanks for any help.

That's Java code, it says "End this Java application and send return code 1 back to the shell". As for how the shell gets the return code from the application, that's a question about your shell and not about Java programming, no?

Ree,
1. Find SSH client for windows, then execute SSH with Runtime.exec() on local host with arguments like remote host, auth, command to execute etc.
2. Get SSH client in Java and execute SSH commands on remote host using pure Java API.
