How to create a WinRM shell with command line? - winrm

WinRM command line allows the creation of a new shell command instance by typing
winrm create -?
Example: Create a windows shell command instance from xml:
winrm create shell/cmd -file:shell.xml -remote:srv.corp.com
However, I can't find proper documentation on how to form the mentioned shell.xml file as inputs to create a new shell. Some example options I want to use:
Shell instance parameters
OperationTimeout "PT9999S"
Locale "en-US"
InputStreams "stdin"
OutputStreams "stdout stderr"
Shell options
WINRS_NOPROFILE = FALSE
WINRS_CODEPAGE = 65001
I also managed to capture the TCP packet of WinRM protocol that can potentially derive the format for shell.xml

Passing variables to sshexec command resource file in ANT

I have created a large script to be passed to an sshexec commandResource in ant as follows.
<sshexec host="${host.server}"
username="${username}"
password="${oracle.password}"
commandResource="path-to-file/script.txt"
/>
This is working as intended.
There are several lines that will get executed on the server in that script. The contents of the script.txt file is as follows :
/script/compile_objects.sh /path-to-code/ login password
/script/compile_code.sh /path-to-code/ login password
However, I would prefer to not store the login and password as clear text in the script.txt file. Is it possible to pass parameters to each line of the command resource. I'm aware that each line in the command resource file gets executed in its own shell.
I tried string replacement from a property in the Ant script, but it failed with a bad substitution error like so. Is there another way to do this?
<property name="oracle.password" value="thepassword"/>
and then in the script file, alter to:
/script/compile_objects.sh /path-to-code/ login ${oracle.password}
/script/compile_code.sh /path-to-code/ login ${oracle.password}
This type of replacement works when using the command feature, but seems to fail when using commandResource.
Edit :
I am using Apache Ant 1.9.4
and jsch-0.1.54.jar

Informatica XML Import Issue from command line: PMREP

I wanted to import an XML file into my informatica repositry from the command line using PMREP command.
The command I executed:
pmrep objectimport -i .XML -c Control.XML -l Import_Log.txt
The control file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE IMPORTPARAMS SYSTEM "impcntl.dtd">
<!--apply label name LABEL_IMPORT_NEW to imported objects-->
<IMPORTPARAMS CHECKIN_AFTER_IMPORT="YES" CHECKIN_COMMENTS="NEWOBJECTS"
APPLY_LABEL_NAME="LABEL_IMPORT_NEW">
<FOLDERMAP SOURCEFOLDERNAME="sOURCE_FOLDER_NAME" SOURCEREPOSITORYNAME="SOURCE_REP_NAME" TARGETFOLDERNAME="TARGET_FOLDER_NAME"
TARGETREPOSITORYNAME="TARGET_REP_NAME"/>
<!--replace all mappings-->
<RESOLVECONFLICT>
<TYPEOBJECT OBJECTTYPE="ALL" RESOLUTION="REPLACE"/>
</RESOLVECONFLICT>
</IMPORTPARAMS>
I renamed the control file as Control.XML or Control.dtd or Control.cnf. But nothing worked.
when I executed the command, The repository was invoked, but immediately got this failure message.
Invoked at Fri May 01 06:26:22 2015
failed to execute objectimport
When I checked the log file, I got the following error:
FATAL:Error at (file /.../Control.XML, line 2, char 45(: An exception occured! Type:XMLPlatformException, Message:Could not close the file.
I tried to name the control file as impcntl.dtd(this was just a try) But got this error,
FATAL:Error at (file /.../Control.XML, line 2,char 3): Expected a markup declaration.
When I removed the line "--> !DOCTYPE IMPORTPARAMS SYSTEM "impcntl.dtd" <--" from the control file, I got the following error,
Label [LABEL_IMPORT_NEW] cannot be found in the repository [SOURCE_REP_NAME]
I am using Unix version: Solaris SunOS 5.10(sparc), and Infa version: 9.1 hotfix 4.
It would be great if somebody can give me a solution for this.
Thanks!
I do a lot with pmrep, in general your control file looks fine and it is obeying the dtd definition. Just making sure of a few things:
Did you make a call to connect before the objectimport call?
[like /> connect -r RepositoryName -n UserID -x password -h serverPath -o port# -s SecDomain

How to read a file that is located on a linux server using R

I have a CSV file and I want to work on it I've tried to read it by using this code
d = read.table( pipe( 'ssh don#140.184.134.189 "cat cluster.csv"' ), header = T )
But I get no result and get this message:
"error in read table"
Without asking about my password.
Also, how do you run an R script fes.r that is located on the same server?
You can first try this, continuing along the lines you are on:
> d <- read.table(pipe('ssh -l don 140.184.134.189 "cat cluster.csv"'))
don#140.184.134.189 password: # type password here
If you don't get prompted for a password, then there is likely a configuration problem with your ssh. Please note that ssh has to be installed and in your $PATH (meaning R can invoke it from anywhere it is running).
If this option doesn't work, then you can try using scp from the RCurl package.
Try the following:
x = scp("140.184.134.189", "cluster.csv", "PASSPHRASE", user="don")
Here you should replace "PASSPHRASE" with the password of your local SSH key.
One other thing to check is whether "cluster.csv" is really the correct path to your file on the remote server. But it seems that you are not even getting this far, so fix the ssh problem first.
Hat tip to this Stack Overflow post for inspiration.
You could take a different approach and install Rstudio server on your remote linux machine.
Rstudio server
You can avoid the password problem by setting up an ssh key pair, and adding your public key to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server.
You can see how to run an R script from command line here: Run R script from command line

Getting error while connecting to oracle [duplicate]

I Google[d] for this error ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adaptor error but not able to find the actual reason and how to solve this error ?
Can anyone tell me a perfect solution to solve login problem.
Go to the windows machine that hosts the Oracle database server
Go to Start -> Run -> Services.msc in Windows.
Locate OracleService < SID > (here OracleServiceORCL) and click on Start to start the oracle database service (if not already running)
Once it is up and running, from the command prompt run the following:
tnsping < tnsalias >
(tnsalias entry you can find it in tnsnames.ora file)
In my case I didn't have an OracleService (OracleServiceORCL) in Windows Services.msc as described in Bharathi's answer.
I executed this command:
C:\> ORADIM -NEW -SID ORCL
and then the OracleService called OracleServiceORCL just showed up and got started in Services.msc. Really nice.
Source: https://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=4044655#4044655
Seems like database is not up. It might be due to restarting machine and the instance is not set to autostart and it so not started munually after starting from services Screen.
Just goto Command prompt
Set Oracle SID
C:>set oracle_sid=ORCL
Now run Net start command.
C:>net start oracleserviceORCL
from command console, if you get this error you can avoid it by typing
c:\> sqlplus /nolog
then you can connect
SQL> conn user/pass #host:port/service
Add to the enviroment vars the following varibale and value to identify the place of the tnsnames.ora file:
TNS_ADMIN
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\network\admin
In my case (for OracleExpress) the service was running, but I got this issue when trying to access the database via sqlplus without connection identifier:
sqlplus sys/mypassword as sysdba
To make it work I needed to add the connection identifier (XE for Oracle Express), so following command worked ok:
sqlplus sys/mypassword#XE as sysdba
If you still get ORA-12560, make sure you can ping the XE service. Use:
tnsping XE
And you should get OK message along with full connection string (tnsping command is located in oracle's installation dir: [oracle express installation dir]\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\bin). If you can not ping make sure your tnsnames.ora file is reachable for sqlplus. You might need to set TNS_ADMIN environment variable pointing to your ADMIN directory, where the file is located, for example:
TNS_ADMIN=[oracle express installation dir]\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN
After searching alot got a simple way to solve it.
Just follow the steps.
Check status of your listener.
open command prompt and type lsnrctl status
You will get no listener.
Now open listener.ora file which is present in following directory: C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\network\ADMIN
Open that file and change the host parameter with you computer name
You can get your computer name by right click on My Computer and check you computer name, and replace host parameter with your computer name as follows:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Electron-PC)(PORT = 1521)
)
)
)
So here you can observe HOST = Electron-PC, which is my computer name.
Save the listener.ora file and again return to cammand propt
3.Type the following in command prompt lsnrctl start
This will start the OracleTNSListner.
you can check it in the service by opening services tab of Task Manager. if not started automatically you can start it.
Just this much and you are ready to work again on oracle.
Best of Luck.
Quite often this means that the listener hasn't started. Check the Services panel.
On Windows (as you are) another common cause is that the ORACLE_SID is not defined in the registry. Either edit the registry or set the ORACLE_SID in a CMD box. (Because you want to run sqlplusw.exe I suggest you edit the registry.)
I have solved the problem the easy way. My oracle was running just fine in the past. After I installed MS SQL Server was when I noticed this problem. I just uninstalled MS SQL Server on my machine then the problem was gone. Make sure you restart your computer after that. Now I can connect to Oracle database through SQLPlus again. My guess is that there's some conflict between the two. Hope this helps.
Another possible solution that just worked for me...considering I was using my local login as the dba permissions.
Follow the steps to get to Services. Right click on the instance and go to 'Log On'? (might not be the name but it's one of the tabs containing permissions). Change the settings to use LOCAL.
If none the above work, then try this :
Modify the LISTENER.ora (mine is found in : oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora) ==> add a custom listener that points to your database(SID), example my SID is XZ0301, so :
## Base XZ03001
SID_LIST_LISTENER_XZ03001=(SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(ORACLE_HOME =
E:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)(SID_NAME= XZ03001)))
LISTENER_XZ03001=(DESCRIPTION_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL =
TCP)(HOST=MyComputerName)(PORT= 1521)))
DIAG_ADR_ENABLED_LISTENER_XZ03001=ON
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_XZ03001=E:\oracle
Restart your machine
For Windows 7, use the following to modify the LISTENER.ora:
- Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories
- Right click Notepad and then click Run as Administrator .
- File>open and navigate to the tnsnames.ora file.
- Make the changes then it should allow you to save
It really has worked on my machine. But instead of OracleServiceORCL I found OracleServiceXE.
Flow the flowing steps :
Edit your listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file in
$Oracle_home\product\11.2.0\client_1\NETWORK\ADMIN location
a. add listener.ora file
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = C: [here c is oralce home directory]
b. add in tnsnames.ora file
SCHEMADEV =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = dabase_ip)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = SCHEMADEV)
)
)
Open command prompt and type
sqlplus username/passowrd#oracle_connection_alias
Example : username : your_database_username
password : Your_database_password
oracle_connection_alias : SCHEMADEV for above example.
Just to add up, follow the screenshot and choose local account to start if not selected. Then start the service.
You need to tell SQLPlus which database you want to log on to. Host String needs to be either a connection string or an alias configured in your TNSNames.ora file.
ORA-12560: TNS:erro de adaptador de protocolo
set Environment Variables: ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID
make sure your user is part of ORACLE_GROUP_NAME (Windows)
make sure the file ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora is:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
(Windows) Be carefull when you add a new Oracle client: adding a new path to the PATH env. variable can mess things up. The first entry in this variable makes a difference: certify that the sqlplus executable in the ORACLE_HOME (ORACLE_HOME/bin) comes first in the PATH env. variable.
I try 2 option:
You change service OracleService in Service Tab -> Running
Login with cmd command: sqlplus user_name/pass_word#orcl12C
Note: orcle12c -> name of OracleService name run in you laptop
Below fixes can be applied to resolve TNS 12560 error
Get Latest patch for SQL*NET client software
Set $ORACLE_HOME and $PATH variable (should be accessible for System user)
Check permissions on PC client
Check $TNS_ADMIN variable
Check if network has firewall or antivirus issues
Check if windows services Run >> Services.msc has OracleXE or OracleORCL service running
Check below link in case of net tracing error:
http://dba-oracle.com/t_sql_net_tracing.htm
In my case, (ORA-12560: TNS protocol adapter error)Issue cause of database connection issue like database, user name and password.
Once you got the issue. Initially you have to check connection details, after check the oracle service and further more.
I missed some connection details, So only i got TNS protocol adapter error,
I will changed the connection details, It would be working fine.

Installing an MSP using Powershell works on the local machine, fails remotely. Why?

I need some Powershell advice.
I need to install an application's MSP update file on multiple Win08r2 servers. If I run these commands locally, within the target machine's PS window, it does exactly what I want it to:
$command = 'msiexec.exe /p "c:\test\My Application Update 01.msp" REBOOTPROMPT=S /qb!'
invoke-wmimethod -path win32_process -name create -argumentlist $command
The file being executed is located on the target machine
If I remotely connect to the machine, and execute the two commands, it opens two x64 msiexec.exe process, and one msiexec.exe *32 process, and just sits there.
If I restart the server, it doesn't show that the update was installed, so I don't think it's a timing thing.
I've tried creating and remotely executing a PS1 file with the two lines, but that seems to do the same thing.
If anyone has advice on getting my MSP update installed remotely, I'd be all ears.
I think I've included all the information I have, but if something is missing, please ask questions, and I'll fill in any blanks.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My process for this is:
Read a CSV for server name and Administrator password
Create a credential with the password
Create a new session using the machine name and credential
Create a temporary folder to hold my update MSP file
Call a PS1 file that downloads the update file to the target server
>>> Creates a new System.Net.WebClient object
>>> Uses that web client object to download from the source to the location on the target server
Call another PS1 file that applies the patch that was just downloaded –>> This is where I’m having issues.
>>> Set the variable shown above
>>> Execute the file specified in the variable
Close the session to the target server
Move to the next server in the CSV…
If I open a PS window and manually set the variable, then execute it (as shown above in the two lines of code), it works fine. If I create a PS1 file on the target server, containing the same two lines of code, then right click > ‘Run With PowerShell’ it works as expected / desired. If I remotely execute my code in PowerGUI, it returns a block of text that looks like this, then just sits there. RDP’d into the server, the installer never launches. My understanding of the “Return Value” value is that “0″ means the command was successful.
PSComputerName : xx.xx.xx.xx
RunspaceId : bf6f4a39-2338-4996-b75b-bjf5ef01ecaa
PSShowComputerName : True
__GENUS : 2
__CLASS : __PARAMETERS
__SUPERCLASS :
__DYNASTY : __PARAMETERS
__RELPATH :
__PROPERTY_COUNT : 2
__DERIVATION : {}
__SERVER :
__NAMESPACE :
__PATH :
ProcessId : 4808
ReturnValue : 0
I even added a line of code between the variable and the execution that creates a text file on the desktop, just to verify I was getting into my ‘executeFile’ file, and that text file does get created. It seems that it’s just not remotely executing my MSP.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Catt11.
Here's the strategy I used to embed an msp into a powershell script. It works perfectly for me.
$file = "z:\software\AcrobatUpdate.msp"
$silentArgs = "/passive"
$additionalInstallArgs = ""
Write-Debug "Running msiexec.exe /update $file $silentArgs"
$msiArgs = "/update `"$file`""
$msiArgs = "$msiArgs $silentArgs $additionalInstallArgs"
Start-Process -FilePath msiexec -ArgumentList $msiArgs -Wait
You probably don't need to use the variables if you don't want to, you could hardcode the values. I have this set up as a function to which I pass those arguments, but if this is more of a one-shot deal, it might be easier to hard-code the values.
Hope that helps!
using Start-Process for MSP package is not a good practice because some update package lockdown powershell libs and so you must use WMI call
