Hello. I'm ingesting files from one system (db hosted on Solaris 10) to another (db hosted on Solaris 9). Files come in zipped, and contain various txt files, which I'll use SQL*Loader to load.
The unzipping, loading etc. is all handled in a ksh shell script. Sadly, we use Putty for all our unix work (and that's part of the problem I think). The files normally arrive at the target host in pairs. When I try to unzip the files, a load of gibberish is sent to the screen. Like this:
(that's only a fragment. The whole thing is like Lord of the Rings.)
This is a problem as we have associated trace files which our ops guys need to look at, and they're filling up to monstrous sizes with these strange characters. At a guess, I'd say this is due to differing character sets on the source and target machines, but I haven't a clue about how to resolve this.
Has anyone seen this before? Any feedback would be gratefully received.
Strangely, I don't see this problem when there is just one file to process, which is sad, as that's never the case.
Thanks,
Ray

Yes, please see below. Please note that xyz.zip is not a real zip file, but a file I put there for test purposes. The unzip command seems to have worked ok.
Code:
dtcd-cnrnda1:fed_cntl $ chmod 744 *.zip
dtcd-cnrnda1:fed_cntl $ unzip \*.zip > /dev/null
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
note: xyz.zip may be a plain executable, not an archive
2 archives were successfully processed.
1 file had no zipfile directory.

In fact, looping through the directory contents seems to cause the error too, consider this simple script:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
export FEEDS=/opt/appl/feeds
export inputDir=${FEEDS}/nda_tf_deals
for filename in $(ls ${inputDir}/arrival/ | grep -v "tf_"*.zip);
do
echo "Filename ${filename} is not valid - moving to unproc directory"
done
for filename in $(ls ${inputDir}/arrival/tf_*.zip);
do
echo "Filename ${filename} is valid - so extract txt files from zip file"
done
