asmcmd non-interactive commands in MS-DOS Batches
Posted by Dirk Nachbar on Thursday, April 05, 2012
In the last days I was fighting with a nice behaviour of the asmcmd non-interactive mode in MS-DOS batches.
I wanted to delete several files located in ASM within a MS-DOS batch:
As soon as I run the batch, the first file got deleted, but then the batch execution stops without continuing the next steps :-( I try to place the files into Single-Quotes, into Double-Quotes, but nothing helps, after the first asmcmd command the batch execution stops ...
This behaviour even occurs with "ls" commands and so on.
Oracle Metalink search = 0
Oracle Technet Forums = 1 thread with the same problem, but no answer since more then 2 years
After a little playing and re-thinking, I only found following solution: Build a FOR Loop in my batch.
I just created a textfile with my files which I want to delete:
Then I changed my batch to the FOR loop, which simple reads my above textfile with the list of my files to be delete and executed for each line the "asmcmd rm -f" command:
Run the batch again and be happy :-)
