Steps To Register Unix Shell Script As A Concurrent Program

Steps To Register Unix Shell Script As A Concurrent Program

We can register an Unix shell script in our oracle application through a concurrent program. Here are the steps.
Step 1:
Copy the .prog script in ASCII mode to the bin directory of your application top directory. For example, call the script XXSHELL.prog and place it under $XXCUST_TOP/bin
step 2:
Check the file permissions. Sometimes it is required to give full permission to the script.
step 3:
Make a symbolic link from your script to $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr For example, if the script is called XXSHELL.prog , then use this:
cd $XXCUST_TOP/bin
ln -s $FND_TOP/bin/fndcpesr XXSHELL
This link should be named the same as your script without the .prog extension. Put the link for your script in the same directory where the script is located.
step 4:
Register the concurrent program, using an execution method of ‘Host’. Use the name of your script without the .prog extension as the name of the executable.
For the example above: Use XXSHELL as executable name.
Note:
Your script will be passed at least 4 parameters, from $1 to $4.
$1 = orauser/pwd
$2 = userid(apps)
$3 = username,
$4 = request_id
Any other parameters you define will be passed in as $5 and higher. Make sure your script returns an exit status also.
fndcpesr is a standard utility available in $FND_TOP directory. It is mainly used by the application to parse the above four arguments to the shell scripts.
