Submitting a group of batch jobs.

[mrr]

Hello,

I am trying to automate loading into Oracle 8 on (Unix Solaris 2.8) from several batch jobs appended to each other in order to
run overnight or in succession.

I am fairly new to shell scripting and am not sure how to tackle this.

In the batch job outline, I have:

1. loader control file that is partly binary and also ascii format. (job.lcc)
2. This loader points to an ascii control file that has the specifics of the data that I'm loading. (job.ldctl)
3. The data file which is in ascii. (job.dat)
4. I also have an ascii journal file that reports the success of the data being loaded or not into Oracle. (job.ldjnl)

All of these files will be built and then appended together with other similar jobs and then submited as a cron or batch job.

Thanks for any ideas and suggestions.

Could you summarize your post into one more questions
regarding the shell script you are tring to create?

If you know how to do this from the command line,
a shell script will be very similar.
You may just have some if, then logic added
and possibly read options/variables from
a configuration file.
