Accessing shell environment variables inside OMBPlus script

Hi,
I have a problem accessing an environment variable inside OMBPlus script. I can 'see' the env. var values when using tclsh, but when I use OMBPlus.sh it doesn't work?
Anybody has an example of how to do this?
For example: puts $::env(MYVAR)
Thanks,
Ed

Hello!
Issue the command:
puts [array names env];
this will print you the content of the env array which is definitely not the environment variables.
If you want your environment variable appear in the env tcl variable then you must edit the ombplus.bat file and pass it through a java option like this:
-DMYENV="%MYENV%" (on windows assuming you declared MYENV).
Now puts $env(MYENV) will work.
Regards,
Robert

Apache Environment Variables inside PL/SQL

How to access Apache Environment Variables inside HTMLDB (PL/SQL block)?

Hi,
You can use the owa_util.get_cgi_env packaged function -
FUNCTION GET_CGI_ENV RETURNS VARCHAR2
Argument Name Type In/Out Default?
PARAM_NAME VARCHAR2 INSo, pass in the name of the Env var you want and it will give you back the value.

OMB PLUS - Problem passing Unix environment variables to OMBPlus

Due to a requirement to encapsulate deployment of OWB applications, we currently start OMBPlus.sh from our own wrapper ksh script (deploy.ksh) in order to get the new / changed application into the target control center etc.
We now have a new requirement that means we need to pass the content of the Unix environment across to OMBPlus.sh (and from thence into our deployment tcl scripts).
No problem, if you believe the tcl documentation. The entire Unix environement gets dumped into a hash array called 'env', so you can get the variable's value out just by saying $env(unix_valraible).
Sounds great, it should work a treat.
Except OMBPlus only silghtly resembles tclsh.
The 'env' that gets into OMBPlus bears practically no resemblance to the 'env' that existed before OMBPlus.sh got invoked.
Does anyone have:
a decent explanation for why the env gets scrambled (and how to avoid it) ?
or an alternative method of getting the Unix environment varaible values into OMBPlus ?
Please do not propose passing them all on the command line because (would you beleive it) the values are database passwords !

Unfortunately, the java implementation of TCL that Oracle used as the basis for OMB+ is NOT a fully-featured implementation. Just try using packages...
However, and understanding why you don't want to hard-code passwords into a file, you can always edit the setowbenv.sh file in your owb/bin/unix directory to grab your specific shell environment variables and propogate them to the java session.
towards the bottom of this env file you will see a section that looks something like:
JDK_HOME=../../../jdk
OWB_HOME=/owb
ORA_HOME=/owb
OEM_HOME=/owb
IAS_HOME=/owb
ORACLE_HOME=/owb
CLASSPATH=Personalties.jar:../admin:$MIMB_JAR:
CLASSPATH_LAUNCHER="-classpath ../admin:../admin/launcher.jar:$CLASSPATH: -DOWB_HOME=$OWB_HOME -DJDK_HOME=$JDK_HOME -DORA_HOME=$ORA_HOME -DOEM_HOME=$OEM_HOME -DIAS_HOME=$IAS_HOME -Doracle.net.tns_admin=$ORA_HOME/network/admin Launcher ../admin/owb.classpath"
export ORA_HOME
export OWB_HOME
export JDK_HOME
export OEM_HOME
export IAS_HOME
export ORACLE_HOME
You could add in the environment variables that you want propogated, include them into the CLASSPATH_LAUNCHER, and then they will turn up in your OMB+ session env array.
e.g., to propgate an environment variable called MY_DATABASE_PASSWORD you would:
JDK_HOME=../../../jdk
OWB_HOME=/owb
ORA_HOME=/owb
OEM_HOME=/owb
IAS_HOME=/owb
ORACLE_HOME=/owb
CLASSPATH=Personalties.jar:../admin:$MIMB_JAR:
CLASSPATH_LAUNCHER="-classpath ../admin:../admin/launcher.jar:$CLASSPATH: -DOWB_HOME=$OWB_HOME -DMY_DATABASE_PASSWORD=${MY_DATABASE_PASSWORD} -DJDK_HOME=$JDK_HOME -DORA_HOME=$ORA_HOME -DOEM_HOME=$OEM_HOME -DIAS_HOME=$IAS_HOME -Doracle.net.tns_admin=$ORA_HOME/network/admin Launcher ../admin/owb.classpath"
export ORA_HOME
export OWB_HOME
export JDK_HOME
export OEM_HOME
export IAS_HOME
export ORACLE_HOME
So now you have no protected data hardcoded, it will pick up your specific environment variables at runtime, and when you start OMB+ you will be able to:
array get env MY_DATABASE_PASSWORD.

Can i use a environment variable inside a *.sql file?

Hello,
I want to create a external table.
So i am using the command
create or replace directory abc as 'C:\folder'.... inside a sql file.
Now i want the path "C:\folder" to be dynamic as i am using this path in many other places also inside the sql file.So i thought to create a environment variable and put this value there.I tried using as %PATH% but it gives error..... where %PATH%=C:\folder.
Can i use a environment variable inside a *.sql file?
But how to do that or is there any other way.
Thanks

Actually what i want is the path "C:\folder" is not fixed it can be anything which i may not know the user may decide it later. Not supported. A directory object refers to a specific physical location (directory/folder) on a file system. Not a path.
You can work around it by (creating and) using a function (running under a super user schema with authid definer privs). The caller (e.g. schema scott ) calls it with a physical path. E.g. GetDirectoryObject( 'C:\folder\2010\feb\week4' ).
This function determines if there is an existing directory object for the path. If not, it uses a wildcard search to determine if there are any directory objects for parents in the path (e.g. for C:\folder\2010\feb or C:\folder\2010 or C:\folder ).
If it finds a directory object, it interrogates the data dictionary to determine if the caller, schema scott for example, has read/write access on that directory object. If it has, it creates a new directory object and grants the caller read/write access to it. The function then returns the name of the directory object to the caller.
The caller thus do not deal directly with directory objects. The function returns the object name given a physical path as input. Also, only a single base directory needs to be created (e.g. for C:\folder ) and access granted to the schema on it. Any sub-directory in that base directory can now be dynamically accessed by the schema.

Error Setting Environment Variable inside Listner.ora

Hi,
I am trying to set an environment variable inside listner.ora as follows
(ENVS="EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY,LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2/lib32:/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2/network/lib32:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6:/usr/dt/lib,LIBPATH=/opt/app/oracle/product/9.2/lib32,MQSERVER=SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN/TCP/ashsou03.mcilink.com(4444)")
but every time I try to start the listner it gives me the following error:
TNS-01155: Incorrectly specified SID_LIST_LISTENER parameter in LISTENER.ORA

I think that the parenthses, (4444), in the MQSERVER value is causing this. Any ideas on how I can configure it?

Unix shell: Environment variable works for file system but not for ASM path

We would like to switch from file system to ASM for data files of Oracle tablespaces. For the path of the data files, we have so far used environment variables, e.g.,
CREATE TABLESPACE BMA DATAFILE '${ORACLE_DB_DATA}/bma.dbf' SIZE 2M AUTOEXTEND ON;
This works just fine (from shell scripts, PL/SQL packages, etc.) if ORACLE_DB_DATA denotes a file system path, such as "/home/oracle", but doesn’t work if the environment variable denotes an ASM path like "\+DATA/rac/datafile". I assume that it has something to do with "+" being a special character in the shell. However, escaping "\+" didn’t work. I tried with both bash and ksh.
Oracle managed files (e.g., set DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST to +DATA/rac/datafile) would be an option. However, this would require changing quite a few scripts and programs. Therefore, I am looking for a solution with the environment variable. Any suggestions?
The example below is on a RAC Attack system (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/RAC_Attack_-OracleCluster_Database_at_Home). I get the same issues on Solaris/AIX/HP-UX on 11.2.0.3 also.
Thanks,
Martin

My revised understanding is that it is not a shell issue with replacing +, but an Oracle problem. It appears that Oracle first checks whether the path starts with a "+" or not. If it does not (file system), it performs the normal environment variable resolution. If it does start with a "+" (ASM case), Oracle does not perform environment variable resolution. Escaping, such as "\+" instead of "+" doesn't work either.
To be more specific regarding my use case: I need the substitution to work from SQL*Plus scripts started with @script, PL/SQL packages with execute immediate, and optionally entered interactively in SQL*Plus.
Thanks,
Martin

Can not create a environment variable from a script

Hi I need to develop a script that allows me to create and set two environment variables in my system but I can�t get it ....
This is what I got till now ...
#!/sbin/sh
SEISDB_HOME=/usr/local/
export SEISDB_HOME
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
If I run this commands directly in the shell it works Ok ... but calling the sentence from a script nothing happens ....
Thanks ....
Edited by: Jes_79 on Sep 18, 2007 1:58 PM

do this
create a script file
vi /tmp/temp
in /tmp/temp add
GLOBAL_VARIABLE="Hello World"; export GLOBAL_VARIABLE
save and quit vi
fix the permissions and run /tmp/temp from a shell prompt
then
echo $GLOBAL_VARIABLE
should show as empty
from a shell window type
. /tmp/temp
period space /tmp/temp
echo $GLOBAL_VARIABLE
for you script, do the same.
do not type the script name, but source it (add a period and space)

How to access %programfiles% environment variable in XML

Hi
I am trying to install BEA JRockit 1.4.2 JVM silently and I need help in modifying the silent.xml file. Typically, in batch files, one would use the environment variable %programfiles% to install to the system's program files directory. However I want to do this within the silent install file that BEA recommends. The line that I want to modify is:
<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="D:\Program Files\Java\jrockit-24.5.0-j2sdk1.4.2_08" />
To something more like:
<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="<b>${programfiles}</b>\Java\jrockit-24.5.0-j2sdk1.4.2_08" />
However this does not work for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jaaved

Hi Jaared,
You will have to create an additional wrapper that generates the silent.xml
of your choice with a value of USER_INSTALL_DIR based on the value of the
%PROGRAMFILES% environment variable. The value of USER_INSTALL_DIR is
currently interpreted literally and there does not exist any support for
expansion of environment variables in it. Based on your question we might
consider this feature for a future release though.

When you write
class C
    var v;
you are defining a variable that lives inside each instance of C. In other words, you can write code like
var c:C = new C();
c.v = 1;
If you don't have an instance, you can't access v.
When you write
class C
    static var v;
you are defining a variable that lives inside the class itself, and you can access it without having an instance.

Shell environment variables and apple apps

Hi Does anyone know how to pass environmental variables to apple applications. For example I have an an app that will automatically execute a shell script on receipt of certain downloads but that script calls another script that has some embedded functions. The scripts all work from command line since I have all my paths and EVs defined in my .tchsrc but the app isn't run from the same shell.
Any clues as to a work around.
thanks

Using JSP variable inside Java Script's alert function.

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to use alert function with one of the string variables populated inside JSP code, but its not working.
Here is the code snippet, please advice.
     <%
     oracle.apps.qot.util.RequestCtx.log("qotcustom.jsp",AOLMessageManager.getMessageSt(QotUtil.QOT_APPS_CODE, "XDPYY_DISC"));
     %>
     var alert_text="<%=AOLMessageManager.getMessageSt(QotUtil.QOT_APPS_CODE, "XDPYY_DISC")%>";
     alert(alert_text);
     Here in the first line we are using API to get text message defined in database, the line is getting executed properly and we could see output text message in debug log file, after this in the 4th line, we are assiging this string output of API to java script variable alert_text and further using alert function with the variable alert_text as argument. But alert function is failing, no errors are thown in debug log file.
Please advice whether we are doing any thing wrong.
Thanks in advance.

What pgeuens means is that you can't mix javascript and jsp/java code in this way.
ALL of the jsp/java code gets executed at the server end.
This produces an HTML page (with embedded javascript) which gets sent to the client.
The client then runs javascript code in response to events (onLoad, onClick, onChange etc etc)
So in this case, the jsp:forward will always be executed, because as far as the server is concerned, the javascript is just template text.
If you WANT to do a conditional forwarding on the server side you do it in java ie (horribly using scriptlet)
<%
if (testCondition){
%>
<jsp:forward>
%<
%>Or if you want to test what the client has entered client side, all you can do is submit the form, or navigate to a URL
<script>
function test()
if(document.f.htemp.value=="true")
alert("jus");
else
var s=document.f.htemp.value;
alert(s);
document.f1.action="success.jsp";
document.f.submit();
</script>You cannot run JSP code based on your javascript code.
Java. Javascript. Not the same thing.
Hope this helps,

How to access environment variables from pluggable destination?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a java puggable destination for reports. Everything is working fine.
I want to access reports environment variables from the java code (like REPORTS_PATH and other new variables that I want to create), but I can't find anything about this in the java API documentation.
I want to use environment variables instead of destination properties (those I can easily access), because I want to be able to change context using env_id.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Luis

How do you get your environment variables seen in SS?

I am trying out SS, we currently use gcc/Kdevelop. When I try to launch my program or debug inside Sun Studio I get an error about a missing .so. Since everything works fine from the command line I assume SS does see my shell environment variables. I don't see any option for this, what am I missing?

First of all, you can check whether environment is inherited or not from dbx command line:
- start debug session
- go to "Dbx console" tab at the bottom
- issue 'set' command and/or 'set | grep your_variable' to see if it is there
If it's really missing or has value other that expected, use project properties to specify environment for the application. It can be done like this:
- right-click project in Projects window, choose Properties
- select "Running" node
- and edit the "Environment" field

Hi,
CONFIGROOT is a shell environment variable. It needs to be set in the environment of the shell you are using for example for bash shell:
export CONFIGROOT=<msg_base>/config
