1. My browser had a issue and i could not realize its going to be double post.
2. Script ran without replacing the string mentioned in dbchange.sh script
3. Bash script will run on Linux server and Ksh will run on Solaris this was suggested in previous post.
Thanks

Here i m trying to copy file from Server1 Dir-1 to Server1 Dir-2 from Server2 and finding and replacing some string in parameter dir-2 of server1 .
Sorry, but the above sentence makes absolutely no sense in English. Please re-phrase the statement.



Not clear which process takes place on which computer or why you do not copy the script to the remote computer first, then execute that script on the remote computer.

i m trying to find and replace a string on remote server (SOLARIS) from Local server (Linux).
dbchange.sh is the script which gets executed on Solaris server to find and replace "String" it has a variable $ProjectTarget .
I am not suppose to keep script on Remote server.

Some of the files you are copying from Server1 to Server2 appear to be the same files that you wish to edit on Server2.

If ALL the files which need editing exist on Server1 and will be copied to Server2, why not edit them (to temporary names) locally and then copy the edited versions to Server2 ?


Addendum: It would be much easier to run the whole process from Server2.

Thats correct Methyl but server1 is a production server , we should not be editing anything on that server. The ID which is used here doesn't have write access to those files.
I wish this could have been easy.. Can you guide me on how we can do this from remote. Thanks

The Development server only needs read access to the Live server files. I would suggest running the whole process on the Development server and copying the files from the Live server to the Development server and then correcting the parameters.

I have written the code just waiting for testing
Code:
scp -r  ecifetls@boom.nwie.net:/vol/ecif/etl/$ProjectTarget/parameterfiles/*.* /bfx/$ProjectTarget/parameterfiles/
	find /bfx/$ProjectTarget/parameterfiles/ -type f -exec sed -i 's/CNTCT/CNTCTST/' {} \;
	find /bfx/$ProjectTarget/parameterfiles/ -type f -exec sed -i 's/DBCIBNR/DBCIBC4/g'{} \;
	scp -r  /bfx/$ProjectTarget/parameterfiles/*.* ecifetls@boom.nwie.net:/devl/bfx/ecif/etl/$ProjectTarget/parameterfiles/
