It is nearly 10 years since I first wrote about how to call Unix shell scripts from the Process Scheduler. Although very little has changed, I have had a number of questions recently, so I thought it was time I checked the script and updated the posting. I have used PeopleTools 8.54 in the preparation of this note.
The Process Scheduler is essentially just a mechanism for initiating processes on another server. Mostly those are other PeopleSoft delivered executables. The exception is the Application Engine Tuxedo Server process (PSAESRV) where the Process Scheduler submits a service request message that is picked up by one of the server processes that are already running.
$ ascii.sh 5458
T X
ie in HEX, the string "TX" is 5458
like wise you can pipe an Oracle Trace file with HEX dumps in it and get some interesting output
$ cat ora_88008.trc | ascii.sh
