Hello Gurus,

Actually I want output of DOS command in PL/SQL.
I didn't find any help by googling and from this forum also.

If I specify command PING from pl/sql block as
ping www.google.com

then output it returns should be
Pinging www.l.google.com [209.85.153.104] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 209.85.153.104: bytes=32 time=50ms TTL=244
Reply from 209.85.153.104: bytes=32 time=47ms TTL=244
Reply from 209.85.153.104: bytes=32 time=49ms TTL=244
Reply from 209.85.153.104: bytes=32 time=47ms TTL=244

Ping statistics for 209.85.153.104:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 47ms, Maximum = 50ms, Average = 48ms


This output I should get in variable.
Is this possible with pl/sql?
If yes please help me to do so.

regards,
Delna

Hi ramoradba,

I have already gone through those links you provide

SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION host_command( cmd IN VARCHAR2 )
  2     RETURN INTEGER IS
  3       status   NUMBER;
  4       errormsg VARCHAR2(80);
  5       pipe_name VARCHAR2(30);
  6   BEGIN
  7     pipe_name := 'HOST_PIPE';
  8     dbms_pipe.pack_message( cmd );
  9     status := dbms_pipe.send_message(pipe_name);
 10     RETURN status;
 11   END;
 12   /

Function created.

SQL>select host_command('ping www.google.com') from dual;

HOST_COMMAND('PINGWWW.GOOGLE.COM')
==================================
                                 0

1 row selected.

SQL>select host_command('dir') from dual;

HOST_COMMAND('DIR')
===================
                  0

1 row selected.


that is what I don't want.
I want output of the command as I said so far.

I have gone through other links also, but not helped me.
By the way, thanks for that help.

Your comments like

As I have said earlier,

  5       pipe_name VARCHAR2(30);
  6   BEGIN

...


After doing all those things, I have come here to post my problem.
Now would you leave your laziness, please? Laughing

I'm getting "The handle is invalid." after performing last script "exec host('"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" /C DIR "');" from here.
What can cause this problem?

you can also do this kind of thing using dbms_scheduler, but you need to redirect outout to a temp file from what I recall, then read that file back in using external table, utl_file or whatever. Advantage of dbms_scheduler is no Java objects & permissions required, but beware of having single temp file because it won't work for multiple concurrent requests.

You should also look at UTL_INADDR and UTL_TCP.

select UTL_INADDR.get_host_address('www.google.com'),
       UTL_INADDR.get_host_name('72.14.213.147') 
from dual ;


74.125.127.106	pv-in-f147.google.com





Depends whether you're interested in the IP address, round-trip interval or whether the host is reachable...

That is what I did in my case.

I
created scheduler,
called one batch file in that,
redirect output of that batch file into text file,
read that text file for required output.

Thanks a lot.
One more question. Is it possible to execute command like
exec host('c:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c fsutil volume diskfree C:');

and get output like we get from a cmd.exe executing it on host.
Total # of free bytes        : 12818509824
Total # of bytes             : 20974428160
Total # of avail free bytes  : 12818509824

As I understood this version of the script given above doesn't have such possibility.
Thank you.

The purpose of PL/SQL is not to output. Wink
What in message http://www.orafaq.com/forum/mv/msg/145816/426218/102589/#msg_426218 does not work for you?

So maybe the problem comes from fsutil itself, maybe it does not write into standard output.

I suggest that's the problem:) but if it doesn't write to standard output, I can't get that info? Or there is a way?

First search where it writes.
Then search if there is a Java class to read this streams.

Sure seems to be STDOUT to me. You need to manually read the output to get it back into pl/sql

C:\>fsutil volume diskfree C: > t.txt

C:\>type t.txt
Total # of free bytes        : 253552586752
Total # of bytes             : 320070287360
Total # of avail free bytes  : 253552586752

Tis is what the procedure does.
It works for DIR not for FSUTIL.

Yes, I think I understand correctly that the output from FSUTIL can't be accessed in the same way as DIR. I've encountered similar issues before (on Solaris). My suggestion would be to redirect output to temp file and see if that catches the output. You can then just type the contents of the temp file and they will go to STDOUT that can be caught in the same way as DIR.

That's a good idea with that.. but I tried to perform
type temp.txt

and it doesn't work too.. Output is empty.

Can you post the complete SQL*Plus session where you did run this?

"Output is empty" Could be anything from a wrongly created "host" command to a forgotten to "SET SERVEROUTPUT ON" to a forgotten "CALL DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(1000000);" to you running it in a client tool that doesn't support Java output.

TYPE works for me but it is mandatory to specify the full path of the file.

Yes, "fsutil volume diskfree C: > t.txt" works but using the "host" procedure above with this command it does not fill the file (but it creates/clears it).

After all, temp.txt file is there. With all the information I need, but type temp.txt doesn't display file.

Your command[0] seems to be the complete command string "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c type temp.txt", but it would have to be an array of the single parts.

C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
/c
type
temp.txt


Also, you cant't grant execute permission to "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c fsutil volume diskfree C: >temp.txt", since that isn't a file. "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" is.

Fix the permission, and try changing

      finalCommand = new String[1];
      finalCommand[0] = command;


to

      finalCommand = new String[6];
      finalCommand[0] = 'C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe';
      finalCommand[1] = '/c';
      finalCommand[2] = 'fsutil';
      finalCommand[3] = 'volume'; 
      finalCommand[4] = 'diskfree';
      finalCommand[5] = 'C:';


or possibly

      finalCommand = new String[3];
      finalCommand[0] = 'C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe';
      finalCommand[1] = '/c';
      finalCommand[2] = 'fsutil volume diskfree C:';


Hard-coded for now, to see if that works.

This is all a bit like quantum mechanics - not everything behaves as you'd expect. First of all, metacharacters like <, >, >>, <<, ;, (, ), |, newline etc can all have their own special behavior. You want ">" to be seen as a metacharacter, not an extra parameter for sh. See the ">" eaxmple here http://www.ensta.fr/~diam/java/online/io/javazine.html
Windows may or may not behave the same.

1) make sure temp.txt is actually being created by your command
2) make sure that temp.txt hase some content. If not, stop here (you need solve the capture of the output first).

If you aren't getting output in temp.txt, try putting the whole command in a batch script and call the batch script from your host command.

If that still doesn't work, try something like calling master.bat:

master.bat
-----------
call slave.bat > temp.txt

slave.bat
----------
fsutil volume diskfree C:
