Error when calling SQL Loader from browser [message #70966]

Hi, I am trying to call a cgi script from my broswer that calls a shell, which calls sql loader.

But I get an error when I do this; here is the error:

Message1 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ULMessage 502 not found; No
message file for product=RDBMS, facility=UL

Here is the cgi script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type:text/htmlnn";
use CGI;
system("/home/amahajan/uploadcont_PT_METRICS > /home/amahajan/a.out");

Here is the shell script (called uploadcont_PT_METRICS):

sqlload userid=XMET_ADM/xmetadm control=uploadcont1.ctl data=import_file.dat

And finally here is the output that I receive:

SQL*Loader: Release 7.3.4.0.1 - Production on Mon Aug 19 17:34:31 2002 Copyright (c) Oracle
Corporation 1979, 1996. All rights reserved.

So can somebody please tell me what I have to do to make this work. Do I have to source some
oracle variables?

Thanks,
Ashish

ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME and other env variable might not be properly set.
so in shell, before calling the sql*loader,
set these, and try again.

YES!!!!!!!!! I got it working. Thanks for your help, but I still have one more problem that I need help on.

Here it is. I want to pass a variable (maybe using the system command) for the data file name from my cgi script to my shell script that calls sql loader. Here is my cgi script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "Content-type:text/htmlnn";
use CGI;

system("/home/amahajan/uploadcont_PT_METRICS2 > /home/amahajan/a.out");

open(INF, "/home/amahajan/a.out") or dienice("Could not open test.out $! nn");
@data =INF;
close(INF);

foreach $line (@data) {
chomp($line);
print "$linen";
}

Here is my shell script:

ORACLE_SID=XMET
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/app/oracle/product/7.3.4
export ORACLE_HOME
export ORACLE_SID
/oracle/app/oracle/product/7.3.4/bin/sqlload userid=XMET_ADM/xmetadm control=up
loadcont1.ctl data=import_file.dat

I want to replace where it says "import_file.dat" with a vairable that gets its value from the cgi script. Do you know how to do this?

Thanks,
Ashish

substitution variables and handling are same in perl and unix shells. so try to use something like "here document".

so from perl,

print <<"EOF" 

your shell script
EOF

I am sorry, but I don't get what I am supposed to do. Am I suppose to write the following in my CGI script:

print <<"EOF"
system("/home/amahajan/uploadcont_PT_METRICS1 > /home/amahajan/a.out");
EOF

But how is this passing a value over to uploadcont_PT_METRICS1?

Please let me know if you can shine some light on this.

Thanks,
Ashish
