Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Forum,

I have script to export he Siebel repository. My requirment is to have a shell script in place so when placed in it in a cron it should generate the repsoitory dat file on date basis.

Script for export:

repimexp /a E /c UCM_ES_DEV2_DSN /u sadmin /p SADMIN /d siebel /r 'Siebel Repository' /f /opt/app/ucm/siebel_rep_12092012 /l /opt/app/ucm/export12092012.log

--->
So when the job runs on 13th September 2012 ...the repository file should be created as siebel_rep_13092012 and log file as export13092012.log


Thanks for your help ....

Have you never used the date command?
This should be the change in your script:

Code:

dt=$(date +%d%m%Y)
repimexp /a E /c UCM_ES_DEV2_DSN /u sadmin /p SADMIN /d siebel /r 'Siebel Repository' /f /opt/app/ucm/siebel_rep_$dt /l /opt/app/ucm/export$dt.log

hmm...I'm actually into CRM don't know much abt shell script. Thanks for your reply.

I'll put the script in file and test it now.

I just put it the above code in a file and executed it.

The out put is as follows -
-rw-r----- 1 sbldev dbas 3 Sep 13 02:13 export.log
-rw-r----- 1 sbldev dbas 833946 Sep 13 02:14 siebel_rep_

The date is missing in both the export.log file and dat file.

Please help...

Which shell? System?
Try with dt=$(/usr/bin/date +%d%m%Y) or dt=$(/bin/date +%d%m%Y) or whatever your path to date command is.

hi Gotham,
