Changing Environment Variables (not jre path)

I am writing a setup program which will modify an Environment Variables. I need to add the string ";%PROGRAM_HOME%bin"to the Path variable. The problem lies in appending the new string onto the old one. For instance, say that
Path=%SystemRoot%\system32;andSystemRoot=C:\WINDOWSIf I get the current Path variable (so I can append to it) I get Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32After appending my new variable I getPath=C:\WINDOWS\system32;%PROGRAM_HOME%\binWhile this will work, problems will arise in the future if changes are made to the SystemRoot variable, since the Path value no longer contains a link to the SystemRoot variable.
Basically, is there a way to append to Environmental Variables?

Changing environment variables not reflected in axis2.

Hi,
I am using axis2(1.2).And my problem is that I am trying to call two or more webservice from the same host .Let me explain.I have a web page .Its take some info to serach and also the parameter to which service to call.Suppose there are two service running (A and B).For A, need the following environment to set before calling :
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore",keyStore);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", keyPwd);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType",keyType);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType",trustType);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",trustStore);
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword",trustPwd);And for B do not required any environment variable.
When I try to connect the B(clear all the environment) after accessing the A its throw the following exception :
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException:
PKIX path building failed:
sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find
valid certification path to requested targetBut if I restart the webserver and try to call B its working but if I try to access A its failed.
So its seem to me that once the environment is set its not possible to reset it.
So is there any solution.
Thanks & Regrads

i haven't used axis2 specifically, but i would imagine that it provides a way to configure that connection information for a specific webservice connection (as opposed to globally for the jvm). a quick google for "axis 2 custom keystore" found this link: http://shivendra-tripathi.blogspot.com/2010/11/enabling-ssl-for-axis2-service-and.html which shows how to configured an axis2 client with a custom keystore ("Approach 2", at the very end of the article). actually, looking again at that article, it may be configuring a system-wide setting (the Protocol.registerProtocol() call looks to be static). this looks better: http://wso2.org/library/1646 .

Add firewall rule with custom environment variable in program path

Hi,
We want to create a firewall rule for a program which is placed in folder which changes sometimes. I know you can add a firewall with the ProgramFiles environment variable like this:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Test Firewall rule" dir=in program="%%ProgramFiles%%\Test\Test.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
The environment variable ProgramFiles isn't expanded and if the Program Files folder is different on a system the rule still works.
We try to use this with a custom environment variable which we set a system environment variable with this command:
SETX SomeFolder "D:\Some Folder\Apr 2015" /M
If we use the command below to add the firewall rule in a batch file the environment variable SomeFolder is expanded correctly and the program path is added as a static path.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Some Firewall Rule" dir=in program="%SomeFolder%\AFile.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
Because the folder changes sometimes we want to change the environment variable SomeFolder and not remove the old firewall rule and create a new one. We want to add the environment variable SomeFolder to the program path as a (dynamic) environment variable
and not as the expanded path at the moment when the rule is added. If we use this command:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Some Firewall Rule" dir=in program="%%SomeFolder%%\AFile.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
We get the error:
          Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
          An error occurred while adding the rule.
          Error: The parameter is incorrect
          Status: The application name could not be resolved
          OK
Why can't we use %%SOMEFOLDER%% like we can use %%PROGRAMFILES%%? The same error is shown when we try to add the firewall rule through the management console 'Windows Firewall with Advanced Security'
W. Spu

Hi,
Based on my plenty of test with this problem, it seems like there is no better method to achieve your requirement. To add new policy to firewall, it would be better using general cmdlet. The path parameter like %%SomeFolder%% do have problem in add firewall
policy cmdlet.

SQLPATH environment variable not read by Sql Developer

Does anyone know why Sql Developer doesn't seem to read the SQLPATH environment variable? I've googled this situation quite a bit with no luck. Am frankly very confused...How can Sql Developer not have the ability to read from the SQLPATH environment variable?
Considering all the scripts out there that have been written for Sql*Plus, with the assumption that the SQLPATH variable has been set to allow for multiple directories?
I feel like I'm just missing something in Tools->Preferences in Sql Developer. I just can't see what it is. As a side note, my overall intention is to enable my team members to run the db build scripts from Sql Developer, rather than Sql*Plus...
Thanks in advance.

Hi 917092 ,
Gary Graham wrote:
Hi,
The closest equivalent is Tools|Preferences|Database|Worksheet|Select default path to look for scripts, but supports only a single directory.
This parameter takes multiple directories. For example in Windows the separation character is ";" . The chooser only allows one directory to be chosen at a time - but multiple paths can be typed in.
SQLPATH reads the environmental variable (it may not read the windows registry setting).
set SQLPATH=C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\first;C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\second
@first
(reads first.sql from C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\first)
@second
(reads second.sql from C:\Documents and Settings\THE_USER\second)
Is that sufficient?
If there is a bug to be logged please provide more details:

Environment variables not passed through to player in flexunit 4.1.0-beta3

fyi, to get flexunit-4.1.0-beta3 FlexUnit4AntTasks invocation of flashplayer to not be rejected by the vncserver, i needed to modify the FlexUnitLauncher to pass through the environment variables to the command environment.
the reason this is required, i think, is the use of Runtime.exec() directly in CustomPlayerCommand -- in flexunit-4.0.0, the same function was accomplished using the ant executor, which does passthrough by default.
anyway, curious if anyone else has seen this issue, or if i'm doing something dumb.

ok. i went looking for a JIRA link somewhere around here and couldn't find it. do you have a URL handy?
there are a couple of other things too:
you probably want trustDirectory.mkdirs() rather than mkdir() in TrustFile.java
you probably want CustomPlayerCommand.setLocalTrusted() -- my player command isn't in the machine's path, but i still want to be able to touch the trust file. So I copied the trustFile.add() stuff from FlashPlayerCommand.launch() into CustomPlayerCommand.launch(). probably a better solution would be refactoring CustomPlayerCommand to be more like FlashPlayerCommand.
anyway, if you want patches, tell me where to put them and i'll post some.

Win7 11g -- Environment variables not set?

I have an 11g installation on a school harddrive that doesn't seem to have any of the environment variables set properly. Even ORACLE_HOME is not set. How can I fix that situation and how many environment variables need to be defined?
Also some of the Oracle scripts seem to use the forward-slash rather than the back-slash for paths. Will Win7 care?
Thanks

You can set the following 3 basic environment variable in your system variables list. So that you can connect to database with out manually specifying the variables every time.
ORACLE_HOME: the ORACLE_HOME variable should be set.
ORACLE_SID: it is the name of the instance.
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin : this is the place where your oracle binaries exists.

Here's the story..

ora-7217--sltln environment var not set
keeps coming..made sure all the vars are
set in .profile..any clue what's happening?
vinny.

A way to set environment variables to binaries is to specify
it on the command line. For example:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/mylibs httpd
If you are using apache, it could be changed in the /etc/init.d/apache
script.
If you use a script to startup the server, you can use the same approach.
I am not sure about the obj.conf file.

How do I use a UNIX environment variable for the path of a file name

We are running Forms 6i over the web. The forms server runs on a UNIX (HP-UX) machine.
I want to read the contents of a file, which is simple enough, using the TEXT_IO package. However, I want to reference a UNIX environment variable that specifies the file path i.e
PROCEDURE get_file IS
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
filename VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
filename:= '$LOG_DIR/RCAS181.log';
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
.....other stuff
Notice the filename string references my unix env variable '$LOG_DIR'. However, this doesnt work. If I put the full pathname it works fine.
Any suggestions ?

Have a look at TOOL_ENV.GETVAR()

[SOLVED] Change environment variables with Shell scripts

How can I change the "BROWSER" environment variable with a shell script; so I can change it on the fly?
Last edited by oldtimeyjunk (2012-10-31 12:57:42)

If you just want to do it for BROWSER so that you can change your default web browser on the fly, you could set BROWSER to e.g. ~/bin/mybrowser and create a symlink to the browser you want at ~/bin/mybrowser. Then you could change the symlink at will.
EDIT: man xdg-settings

JAVA_HOME Environment Variable "Not Available"

I have installed j2sdk 1.4.2_17 for Windows Server 2008 64 bit for an installation of ERP 6.0. I have installed this in the following directory:
C:\j2sdk14217x64
- I have the JAVA_HOME variable (User variable for Administrator and System variable) set to: C:\j2sdk14217x64
- I have the PATH system variable (System variable) set to: C:\j2sdk14217x64\bin
When running the prerequisite checker I get the following error:
"It is not recommended to use JDK version 1.4.2_10. Current version: JAVA_HOME not available."
When I run %JAVA_HOME% from the command line the system finds it. I'm not sure what the issue is here.

SMF environment variables not working

svccfg -s svc:/application/SUNWappserver/domain1 setenv -m start JAVA_HOME /usr/jdk/latest

I have a default instance and the stop/start methods are not defined inside it. After the refresh and restart, I still don't see Java using the /usr/jdk/latest JDK. Does anyone know why?
Do those variables need to be defined inside the "default1" instance? If so, how do I do that with svccfg?

Jdev 10.1.2: Using environment variable in library path?

Hi,
I'm trying to use Maven2 for my build process besides JDeveloper for maintaining the code. MAven puts all necessary jars in a local repository, in my case in the folder: 'C:\Documents and Settings\PAlma\.m2\repository'. Now if I want to compile the code in JDeveloper I add libraries to my projects that are refering to the jars in the Maven local repository. In that way I am sure they use the same jars.
The problem arises if another developer on another machine wants to use this Jdeveloper configuration. Because his Maven repository will not be in the folder 'c:\...\palma\..' but in 'c:\...\HIS_NAME\...'.
So it would be great if I could use some variable like M2_REPOSITORY_HOME in my library path and each machine can have it's own value for that variable. I tried to use an enviroment-variable but that isn't working.
Does anyone have an idea for this?
Kind regards,
Paskal

Unset environment variables not commiting, still there when bash restart

I want to remove some environment varibles so i use the unset command
unset variable
However when I list the varibles using:
env
The variable seems to be gone but when I restart the bash it comes back again? Any ideas why? And how to resolve this?

Every shell instance has its own environment. Changing the environment in one shell session has no effect on future sessions.
(An exception is a sub-shell, which inherits its parent's environment. For example, if you run a script from an interactive session, the script will start with the interactive session's environment.)
If you want every login session to have a certain environment, you set it in a .bash_profile file. See the bash man page for details.

Hi guys,
I'm having exactly the same issues and more, when i try execute the *.env files i get a permission denied. Below is the output when running APPSORA.env

below i list the permission etc on the *.env files in the APPL_TOP
[oracle@linux prodappl]$ ls -l *.env
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oracle 989 Oct 8 08:22 APPSORA.env

-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oracle 9396 Oct 8 08:22 PROD.env
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oracle 9396 Oct 8 08:22 PROD_linux.env
I've tried to change the permissions on the files and running, even though they don't return a permission denied message i'm get the same problem as KAR. The environments are just not getting setting, if i tried cd $APPL_TOP i just get dumped into /oracle/home
