What is better a shell script or a user exit?

Hi experts!
I need to change the owner of a file when I send it to XI sever.
I talk with the administrator of the system to change the owner with a shell script but he tell me that is better if I use a user exit. But my question is: What is better? The shell script or the user exit?

hi,
>>>>I talk with the administrator of the system to change the owner with a shell script but he tell me that is better if I use a user exit
maybe because the admin does not do the user exits ?
you can do it with XI but you'll have to create it
via a proxy for example (as standard file adapter does
not support this)
on the other hand the file adapter supports invoking
system commands (so you can start a shell script)
I'm not directly answering your question
I'm just telling you what you'll have to do
to build your solution in both cases

What to use in shell script for CR when \n doesn't work.

Hi I'm new to LINUX and I'm writing a shell script.
I noticed when I'm at the command line I can type:
echo "one\ntwo"
and it will produce:
one
two
when I put that SAME line in a shell script I get:
onentwo
Why? What can I use as CR character in a UNIX shell script that will work?

That's not a normal behavior, not in Bash. Are you using the c-shell csh/tcsh ? or perhaps you have echo defined as an environment variable that was not exported, so it only works in your current shell, but not in any subshell. If you use the c-shell you may sooner or later run into problems, since this shell is not sh or bash complient.
To enable the interpretation of backslash escape sequences in the korn or bourne shell you can use the -e paramter. For instance
[dude@vm210 ~]$ echo -e "one\ntwo"
one
two

Can you please explain what you are trying to accomplish?
To my understanding there is no such thing like a sudo password for a normal user. Sudo allows users to become root based on a sudo list (suoders). The user is then prompted for their own account password to run as super-user or root.

Execute process (shell script) under different user

Hi,
is it possible to use the ProcessBuilder oder .exec()-method to execute a shell script under a JVM-different user? I need to start shell scripts for different system users and I don't want to use SUDO or a wrapper script to switch to the required user. I would like to define the user at java level. Is this possible?
Best regards,
Thomas

looking for something like this too.
currently i am relying on a script in which i have to set the user as:
"su username -c java_program"
the problem with this approach is that if youre not running as root, then su asks for a password, thereby halting execution. (tried input redirects and here-docs, (some popular linux tricks), they did not work)
so you have to be root for the script option to work.
if anyone can suggest a more "java based" way of executing a process as a different user , thatll be awesome.

Execute Shell Script from OWB Process Flow

I am trying to execute a Shell Script from a User Defined activity of OWB Process Flow. As I have not done such things earlier
I need to know:

2. What are the values in need to enter in the external process parameters (such as Command, Script, Result Code, Parameter List, Sucess Threshold etc)
Please reply this thread. It would be a big help for me and probably for others as well.
Kind Regards

Importing thru a shell script

UDM and shell scripts and working with the ENVIRONMENT variable options

In Userdefined metrics you have the ability to pass envronment variables.
I was going to send
DIR=/db/db05/oradata/ORCL/hot
How to handle whats passed to the shell script?
It passes $1 as {DIR=/db/db05/oradata/ORCL/hot}
yes with the brackets. Here I figured it would simply set the DIR environment variable.
Any cool tricks to work with this mess?
Is it meant for perl scripts instead?

Hi Darth,
Thanks for your hint! Nevertheless I think it's something more profound, since there's no error etc. For example, should I have the path wrong I assume that OWB would return me some kind of an error when it doesn't find the .sh-file? Isn't there any log-file to see whether the command was executed? It seems like the execution of the User Defined element would be skipped altogether.
Cheers,
IlmariNo, if you don't give an absolute path OWB will not return any error, it just wont do anything at all...

From Where i can help or manual about writing shell script in oracle

can any one help me to write shell script in oracle.

not sure what you meant by shell script in oracle. If ou want to write a shellscript that interacts with an oracle database, you ma want to refer to an unix programming book and sqlplus manual.

Passing password from shell script to Java

Hi there,
I have a shell script which has user id and password stored in variables. I call a java program from this shell script. I tried accessing this environment variable from java using system.getproperty and java is not getting the values. I have used export USERID PASSWORD
and java classname to call it.
I do not want to pass it as arguments because of security reasons. can anybody help me please.
Thanks a bunch.

Presumably you are using one of the newer java
versions.
Questions
1. What statements are you using to set, export and
run java?
2. What shell are you using?
3. How are you accessing the vars in java?
I do not want to pass it as arguments because of
security reasons. can anybody help me please.
That is nonsensical. Putting it in env vars exposes
it more than passing it as args.Thanks for replying jschell.
1. I am using newer version java 1.5
2. shell scripts gets it's variables from oracle reports through webservices.
3. to run java i use java javaclassname3. I used EXPORT variablename and in java called system.getproperty(variablename)But system.getproperty is getting a null.
And the decision about not passing it as args was made by our client. They think it's not safe to pass password.
are they wrong??
Please help me.

Perl Scripting - Is it an alternative to shell scripting?

Hi all,
I am new to Oracle. I am trying to learn the basic concepts
I read that PERL is a server side scripting language.
I understand the purpose of shell scripts. I come across terms PERL shell scripts.
I understand PERL interpreter comes with UNIX.
1. So, is scripting using PERL an alternative to shell scripting? or
Does it have a different purpose?
2. If an alternative, then when would PERL scripting be better than shell scripting or vice versa ?
3. If an alternative, can PERL be exclusively used replacing shell scripting or as mentioned in my 2nd question used based on the application.
Your reply will be truly appreciated.
Thanks!

A hypothetical question: If a unix had PERL
installation can I use it replacing the unix shell
scripting for carrying out day to day DBA tasks? You
mentioned it is not done that way but theoretically
can it be done?
Yes, if you are proficient with Perl, you can use perl to script DBA scripts. Perl is more powerful than shell script. So there's nothing Perl can't do that shell can, there are many things Perl can, regular shell can't.
The limitation is some company has tight policy on installing non-default software on servers, especially production high security servers.
If not for carrying out day to day DBA tasks using
PERL scripting is there any other reason for why PERL
may come installed or can be installed in a UNIX
flavor?
Like said, Perl has many useful functions and modules. With DBD/DBI module and string processing power (Regular Expression etc), Perl is very popular tool for dataloading scripts as well as phyton.
Perl and Phyton are also heavy used for CGI application and much more.

Shell Script or Applescript to run disk permissions repair

Tried doing this Applescript in Automator:
do shell script "sudo diskutil repairPermissions /" ¬
password "yourAdminPassword" with administrator privileges
This works, but the process appears to run without shutting down when it's done.
Can anybody suggest an addition or modification to terminate when the permissions repair is completed?

do shell script ¬
"sudo diskutil repairPermissions / ; exit" password "yourpassword" with administrator privileges

What is better a shell script or a user exit?
