Run a command on a UNIX box and parse the result
• Checking the CPU temp (prtdiag –v)• Run the command and return a filtered set of results
plink.exe -pw pass -batch user@server prtdiag -v |find "CPU%1 “
Use SQL commands to generate a Alert
• Create a text file containing the commands to send to SQLPlus i.e.select count(*) from pending_transactions;exit;
• To run the command and return a filtered result(Make sure your query only returns a single result)
sqlplus user/pass@ODB @SQLfile.SQL |find " ">SQLfile.txt
• Code example on next slide
Perform a Oracle DB Query and act on the result
sqlplus %OracleUser%/%OraclePass%@%oracle_sid% @%QliktechHome%\%SQLfile%.SQL |find " ">%QliktechHome%\%SQLfile%.txt
FOR /F "tokens=1" %%G IN ('type %QliktechHome%\%SQLfile%.txt') DO SET _tempVar=%%G
