Bhavesh It is definitely possible. If the shell has sqoop and hive queries, better approach would be warp the hive queries in a file include the following line in your script at the appropriate position before of after your SQOOP commands.
hive -f 'path/to/file/hivefile.hql' To troubleshoot your issue. - Is the script running from CLI on the same client you are triggering the app? - Is the commands within the script executing individually on the same client?

But I need to call a Shell Script in which I have written SQOOP commands for importing the tables in Hive from SQL Server. I tried to call a Shell Script in one of the Demo Application but as the Program runs no action taken place. I just see the blank console and a message which I have printed. Is it possible to call the Shell Script for importing and exporting the tables in HIve? Do I need to do something extra in case of Hive? Please help me out from this. Thanks. -- Regards, Bhavesh Shah
