Call Shell Script from within PL/SQL - using DBMS_PIPE

• Call a script from a function sql file.

  Hello
  I need to call a script file sql from a user-defined function. Currently I am doing this in Oracle SQL Developer. I tried to call with
  @ {filename}, EXECUTION IMMEDIATE etc, but nothing worked. I get the compile error.
  
  Basically, my need is to call catldap.sql file so that DBMS_LDAP package gets loaded and then I can call this API functions.
  Please let me know if this is possible to do in a PL/SQL function.
  
  Thank you

  Not possible... and it seems that you do not fully understand the client-server in the context of Oracle.

  All SQL and PL/SQL are parsed and executed by an Oracle server process. Engines SQL and PL/SQL is expecting a single command at a time block. Any of these can accept a series of commands in a single call and then runs them in turn. The SQL engine expects a single SQL statement at a time. PL engine provides an anonymous PL/SQL block for both.

  This server process can not also enter the local file system to access the script files. Nor can he hack it on the network to access the script on the client files.

  So that the server process to access local files, a Directory object must be created and the current Oracle schema must read or a write access to this directory object. Sound security principles apply.

  There is no PL/SQL command to run a script. Do not confuse SQL * more (this customer has a very limited vocabulary) orders with PL/SQL commands. SQL * Plus runs its own orders... and send SQL and PL/SQL commands (a statement block a time) either repaired and running Oracle server process.

  It's also a very bad idea to run the external script content from within an Oracle server process - as this script resides outside and so outside the Oracle security mechanisms. This means that it is fairly easy for a person to access this script, compromise and then you inject and execute the contents of this script in the database.

  It is not good security.

  Latest issue - it's even worse to have the PL/SQL application dynamically create (or try to create) parts of the Oracle data dictionary and calling PL/SQL interface.

  The database must be installed correctly - and that includes loading and execution of the required rdbms/admin scripts during installation. It makes no sense at all for the application code to try to run these scripts. It raises many questions, including getting to allow the full application and full SYS code access to the instance database. A very serious breach of security.

  I agree at all with the approach to use.

• Calling shell script program SQL and passing parameters

  Hi guys,.
  Greetings from Toronto. Is it possible to move one or more strings as parameters to a sql from shell script program?
  
  Shell script

  # Accept system input parameters
  p_user_id=$1
  p_job_id=$2
   
  sqlplus.exe -s $p_user_id @$RD_PATH/rd_test.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id

  SQL program (rd_test.sql)
  

  -- Accept system input parameters
  define p_user_id = &1
  define p_job_id = &2
  
  -- Wondering if its possible to pass these 3 parameters from a shell script program.
  -- (1) rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis
  -- (2) RD_PRINTER(rd_test,3)
  -- (3) t_data
  
  select
  t_data=''rd_test-'||'''$p_job_id'''||'-1-1.txt''
  t_data_dir=''.''
  ksh $RD_PATH/another_shell_prog.sh $p_user_id $p_job_id '||a.rd_value||' '
  ||b.rd_value||' rd_test-$p_job_id-3-1.lis $RD_PRINTER(rd_test,3) '||
  '$t_data $t_data_dir'||'
  exit_status=$?
  check_command'
  from rd_job_parameter b, rd_job_parameter a
  where a.job_id = &2
  and a.jp_module_id = 'RDTEST'
  and b.job_id = a.job_id
  and b.module_id = a.module_id
  /

  As always, this is not something I have to solve that minute. Any help would be appreciated
  and I will think of the problem.
  
  Thank you

  OK, just a few pointers possible if you need to go the way of shell script.

  I suggest that you have a separate SQL script for each of your options, which retains the fairly well-defined lines and keeps the maintenance as simple as possible. Therefore, in your shell script, you can have something like:

  #!/bin/ksh
  # Accept system input parameters
  p_user_id=$1
  p_job_id=$2
  
  # Deduce which script you'll call here
  # using if statements, or even a case:
  
  if [[ p_job_id -eq 1 ]]
  then
    SQL_SCRIPT=sql_script1.sql
  else
    SQL_SCRIPT=sql_script2.sql
  fi
  
  # Or using case
  
  case $2
    in
      1)     SQL_SCRIPT=sql_script1.sql;
  
      2)     SQL_SCRIPT=sql_script2.sql;
  
      3)     SQL_SCRIPT=sql_script3.sql;
  
      *)     SQL_SCRIPT=sql_script4.sql;
  esac
  
  export ${SQL_SCRIPT}
  
  #If you need to query the database at all to deduce which script to cal
  #Then something like this:
  
  SCRIPT_VAR=`sqlplus -s username/password << EOF
  set heading off
  set feedback off
  set verify off
  SELECT * FROM DUAL;
  EOF`
  
  export {SCRIPT_VAR}
  
  SQL_SCRIPT=sql_script${SCRIPT_VAR}.sql
  
  # Then just call your script:
  sqlplus. -s $p_user_id/password @${SQL_SCRIPT}
  

• DBMS_SCHEDULER - trying to create and run a UNIX shell script from Oracle

  How can I run Script Shell Unix from Oracle using DBMS_SCHEDULER?
  
  After reading many examples online, I finished the 3 steps below.
  Create program, create jobs, run task. On my 3rd stage, I get the following error.
  How can I make sure that the work was created?
  
  ORA-27475: "APPS. POSPAY_FILE_CHECK_JOB' must be work
  
  (1) create the program

  BEGIN
    dbms_scheduler.create_program(
       program_name => 'POSPAY_FILE_CHECK_PROG',
       program_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
       program_action => '/home/ldcgroup/ldccbc/POSPAY_USC2_CHECK.sh',
       number_of_arguments => 0,
       enabled => TRUE,
       comments => 'Test Program'
       );
  END;

  (2) create jobs

  BEGIN
  DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
     job_name          =>  'POSPAY_CHECK_FILE_JOB',
     program_name      =>  'POSPAY_CHECK_FILE_PROG',
     enabled           =>   TRUE);
  END;
  /

  (3) the job (not calendar, I'll run this a concurrent request of EBS)

  BEGIN
     DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (
       job_name => 'POSPAY_FILE_CHECK_JOB');
  END;
  /

  Of [documentation | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10595/scheduse002.htm#i1009668]

  The job is created disabled. You must enable it with DBMS_SCHEDULER.ENABLE before the Scheduler will automatically run it.
  
  Jobs are set to be automatically dropped by default after they complete. Setting the auto_drop attribute to FALSE causes the job to persist.

• Call a script from a plugin

• ExtendToolscript opens when I call the script from photoshop

  Hey,.

  I asked this question on in general discussions by mistake if I though I would ask new here.

  I have a Javascript that I wrote which generates an interface of buttons in groups organized according to the contents of some folders. Everything works fine, but when you call it from photoshop and extendtoolscript it is not always executed it opens. I wrote many scripts with interfaces and I've never had this problem. This isn't a huge problem for me, as I usually have this program open anyway, but I intend to have a team of people using this script, so if I could stop, somehow, it would be much better.

  If anyone has experienced this before? Or maybe functions extendscript causes to open?

  I don't see anything unusual in the script...

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

• SOA Gateway - timeout when calling a web service custom Pl/SQL using SOAP

  Hello

  I developed and deployed my PL/SQL web service custom repository integration SOA Gateway.

  The web service works well, but sometimes its execution time exceeds 60 seconds, and I get the following time-out error: java.net.SocketTimeOutException: Read timed out

  Here's my env:

  Product	Oracle E-Business Suite integrated SOA Gateway
  Version of the product	12.1.3
  Operating system	IBM AIX on POWER Systems (64-bit)
  OS version	6.1

  I would like to know if there is a way to increase this time-out?

  EDIT:

  I took a quick glance at this doc errors of timeout in Web Services deployment (Doc ID 1073270.1( )

  and modified the $ORA_CONFIG_HOME/10.1.3/opmn/conf/opmn.xml file

  then bounced oacore, oafm, but it did not work.

  EDIT 2:

  I tried to change the timeout setting in the file httpd.conf ( $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf )

  restart apache and the server, but it didn't work.

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Simon

  In fact, I tried to play with the values that you mentioned, I put the maximum Heap space in JAVA to 2048M and in Apache timeout to 3600 seconds and after a wait of cca. 20 minutes I got the answer I needed the SOAP service.

  Kind regards

  Your postal code.  It is very difficult to tell what you're doing wrong without knowing what you are doing.

  You can have SQL statements directly in your shell script.  They must be in a script by themselves, said fubar.sql, and shell script must contain

  @fubar

  instead of real SQL statements.

• Need to call the Shell script that uses SQL loader in APex4.1 / 11g

  Hello!
  
  I have a requirement in which I need to call a shell script that connects to an external server, FTP to a file and then use sqlloader to load data into our table. We have now the ftp script that accomplishes this task to another program, but is a scheduled task. I wanted to call the script ftp in the APEX. Any suggestions on how this can be done, what is the logic of PL/SQL can we use? I saw online some people using DBMS Scheduler for this?
  
  Thank you
  Sun

  Hello

  Create some sh script on your computer host oracle where you can join in the external server and run the process.
  something like:

  run_external_sh.sh

  #!/bin/sh
  ssh ext_user@ext_host ./sqlloader/import/import.sh
  

  Then create an external TASK to call it via ORACLE (PL/SQL)

  -Shell Script call.

  BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program (
      program_name        => 'external_call_sh',
      program_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
      program_action      => '/local_host/call_external/sh/run_external_sh.sh',
      number_of_arguments => 0,
      enabled             => TRUE,
      comments            => 'Call external SH script');
  END;
  /
  

  You can now create a regular / or unplanned WORK
  -Job defined by the calendar and an existing program.

  BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
      job_name      => 'jb_external_call_sh',
      program_name  => 'external_call_sh',
      schedule_name => 'external_call_scheduler', -- created scheduler
      enabled       => TRUE,
      comments      => 'Job defined by an existing external_call_sh program and schedule.');
  END;
  /
  

  You can now call the WORK in the APEX in the process of PL/SQL.

  BEGIN
    -- Run job synchronously.
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (job_name            => 'jb_external_call_sh');
  END;

• Call the PL/SQL shell script

  Hi all
  
  I've seen several links and options for calling a PL/SQL shell script. I was wondering if there is something like DBMS_SCHEDULER. CREATE_PROGRAM-> executable that calls an external program in 11 GR 2.
  
  Here's what I have to. I have 11 GR 2 database with Dataguard. I have START triggering who begins a DBMS_SERVICE when the role becomes PRIMARY. In the same instance, I would stop the VIP on the former primary database and start the VIP on the new primary database.
  
  Thanks for the advice and assistance.
  
  Jan S.

  The URL below links to ask Tom. Inside, he talks about creating a Java procedure in your database that allows you to execute commands from the host OS (PL/SQL calls the proc of Java that runs the host command). There are several ways to run the OS commands, but this one is very flexible. I needed to use it for a task that I have who didn't fit one of the other methods very well.

• Using the shell script sql variable

  OS: Oracle Linux 5.10

  DB Oracle 11.2.0

  I have need to query the database and assign the return value to a variable of shell, but it does not work.

  create table imr_env (key varchar2(1000), value varchar2(1000) ;
  insert into imr_env values('TblspcUsagePct','90');
  commit;
  

  Here is the shell script:

  #!/bin/bash
  echo "in script"
  ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1 ; export ORACLE_HOME
  ORACLE_SID=IMR1 ; export ORACLE_SID
  export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
  
  pct=`sqlplus -S app/manager <<END
         set serveroutput on
         declare
            output_val number ;
         BEGIN
            select value into output_val from imr_env where key = 'TblspcUsagePct' ;
            dbms_output.put_line('output_val: ' || to_char(output_val)) ;
         END ;
         /
         exit;
  END`
  
  ## another sqlplus connection, use $pct in the where clause
  
  echo "var value is $pct"
  
  

  Here is the result:

  SQL> ./test.sh
  in script
  var value is 
  
  output_val: 90
  

  Why isn't the shell variable is populated with the value retrieved from the database?

  I need to use $pct in another query that will be storage spaces that are at least 90% full.

  I had to change to a korn shell - I couldn't get the "READ" command in shell or bash.

  But it is not only "READ" command:

  SQL > select * from IMR_ENV;

  THE KEY VALUE

  ------------------------- -----

  TblspcWarningLimit 90

  TblspcUsagePct 50
