Control not returning to UNIX when sqlplus is executed in while loop of shell script
Hi All,

I have observed some of the scripts gets stuck because sqlplus session is not completing it's session. This behavior is intermittent. I will give one of the scenario. Below is the code which executes one sql query.



Code:
exec_SQL()
{
   sql_Stmt=$1
   
   sql_Type=`echo $sql_Stmt | awk -F " " '{ printf toupper($1) }'`

   E_WLM_SQL_RESULT=`sqlplus -s /@${E_WLM_DB} <<!
      set pagesize 0 feedback off verify off heading off echo on
      whenever SQLERROR exit SQL.SQLCODE
      whenever OSERROR exit 9
      $sql_Stmt;
      commit;
   !`

   sql_RC=$?

   if [[ $sql_RC -eq 0 ]]; then
 
      str_Result=`echo $E_WLM_SQL_RESULT | grep SP2`  
  
      if [[ ${#str_Result} > 0 ]]; then
         sql_RC=57      # SQL Error
         sql_Code=0 
      else
         export E_WLM_SQL_RESULT
      fi
   else
      sql_Code=$sql_RC   # Store SQL.SQLCODE before overwriting
 
      if [[ $sql_RC -eq 9 ]]; then   # OSERROR
         sql_RC=91     
      else
         case $sql_Type in 
            INSERT) sql_RC=52 ;;
            UPDATE) sql_RC=53 ;;
            SELECT) sql_RC=54 ;;
            DELETE) sql_RC=56 ;;
            *) sql_RC=57 ;;
         esac
      fi
   fi
 
   if [[ $sql_RC -ne 0 ]]; then
      Log "Error in executing SQL Statement: $sql_Stmt "
      Log "SQL.SQLCODE=$sql_Code"
      Log "=====================================   ORACLE ERROR DESCRIPTION  ====================================="  
      Log "$E_WLM_SQL_RESULT"
      Log "======================================================================================================="
      Log "Returning with $sql_RC"

   fi
  
   return $sql_RC 
}



below is the unix session.
pwlm 8297 8290 0 00:16 ? 00:00:03 /bin/ksh -a /opt/XWLMLL02
pwlm 29121 8297 0 00:32 ? 00:00:00 sqlplus -s

The script has run a process internally and above code part is to monitor whether the process is completed. Even though the process is completed, the script has not moved further from this point. Upon checking further, I have seen one active sqlplus session. I suspect that the sqlplus session is from the above code and it is somehow stuck in turn the script has stuck.

I have observed this similar issue 3 times till now in the past 7 days. But, it is for different scripts. The logic remains the same.

This script was working fine in our old infrastructure where there was AIX server. We have not at all faced this issue over there.



Anyone, could help me to resolve the issue?

Thanks in Advance.

break

break(1)                                                           User Commands                                                          break(1)

NAME

       break, continue - shell built-in functions to escape from or advance within a controlling while, for, foreach, or until  loop

SYNOPSIS

   sh
       break [n]

       continue [n]

   csh
       break

       continue

   ksh
       *break [n]

       *continue [n]

DESCRIPTION

   sh
       The break utility exits from the enclosing for or while loop, if any. If n is specified, break n levels.

       The continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosing for or while loop. If n is specified, resume at the n-th enclosing loop.

   csh
       The  break  utility  resumes  execution after the end of the nearest enclosing foreach or while loop. The remaining commands on the current
       line are executed. This allows multilevel breaks to be written as a list of break commands, all on one line.

       The continue utility continues execution of the next iteration of the nearest enclosing while or foreach loop.

   ksh
       The break utility exits from the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop, if any. If n is specified,  then  break  n  levels.  If  n  is
       greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be exited.

       The  continue utility resumes the next iteration of the enclosed for, while, until, or select loop. If n is specified then resume at the n-
       th enclosed loop. If n is greater than the number of enclosing loops, the outermost enclosing loop shall be used.

       On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:

       1.  Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.

       2.  I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.

       3.  Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.

       4.  Words that follow a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment are expanded with the same rules as a  vari-
           able  assignment.  This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign, and also that word splitting and file name genera-
           tion are not performed.
