Oracle EBS 12.2 & Ruby
As does seem to occur from time-to-time, I’m out there in the weeds again and sorting out a solution that fits a customer’s need. They wanted to know if they could write Oracle EBS 12.2 Concurrent Manager Programs in Ruby. They don’t want to write Java.
I checked the documentation, which as is too common, didn’t answer the question. I’m sure if I downloaded the PDF and searched it for one of the languages I knew Oracle supported, I would have found the list of supported languages.
It was simply quicker to query the Oracle EBS 12.2 FND_LOOKUPS table like so:
SELECT lookup_type , lookup_code , SUBSTR(meaning,1,30) AS meaning FROM fnd_lookups WHERE lookup_type = 'CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE' ORDER BY meaning; |
It returns the list of possible types of Oracle EBS 12.2 Concurrent Manager Programs:
LOOKUP_TYPE LOOKUP_CODE MEANING -------------------------- ------------ ------------------------------ CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE X FlexRpt CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE F FlexSql CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE H Host CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE S Immediate CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE K Java Concurrent Program CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE J Java Stored Procedure CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE M Multi Language Function CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE P Oracle Reports CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE I PL/SQL Stored Procedure CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE E Perl Concurrent Program CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE B Request Set Stage Function CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE L SQL*Loader CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE Q SQL*Plus CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE R SQL*Report CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE Z Shutdown Callback CP_EXECUTION_METHOD_CODE A Spawned |
That gave me some of the answer. You can’t call Ruby programs directly. However, Perl lets you use Inline::Ruby. You can use Inline:Ruby to call your Ruby programs. So, if you use Perl to wrap Ruby you don’t have to use Java.
