How to pass environment variables in Host file

Hi Gurus,
I'm having a requirement where I need to send my report output file as an attachment to customer. I achieved this by using host program and connecting to db server by using ftp. I am placing my output file in db server. From there onwards by using pl/sql scripts I am sending output file as attachment. The program is working fine for me no issues.
Now in this program i am hardcoding ip number, user name of Ip and pwd of ip. Our client don't want all those info needs to be displayed in the host(.prog) FILE.
For this i've written all variables in the .env file. But the .prog file triggers from application server. And I've written my variables in .env file which is in db server(different ip). When I am reading these values in the .prog it is throwing error saying the .env does not exists in the application server. Which is true since this is residing at db server.
Please help me how can i pass global variables to this .prog file. Remeber that I am able to send output file by hardcoding user name and password.
Appreciate your help in advance.
Regards,
Nagendra

Hi Hussain,
Thanks for your reply.
My requirment is not related to the apps password. I know the four parameters which we can default, my requirement is further ahead.
In my host program I am connecting to db server. As it is evident .prog file runs from appl server. I need to transfer file from appl server to db server. For that I want to use global variables kind. Like if I write in .env file then I can use that parameters in across all the programs. But what I've seen from instance is that my .env file resides in db server means if i want to initialize those global variables i need to connect db server then only I can connect.
Now I need to use global variables in appl server where I don't have any .env file at this level. If say parameters through program we can pass but it is password of db server which I need to secure from users and rest others for that I need to declare global variables at appl server level. How is that possible.
The threads I've checked them already those are related to passing parameters which is possible but my requirement is to pass parameter which is hidden and through programatically it has to trigger in to the program. If my program is pure shell file and resides and db server then no issues. Here the complexity is that .prog file resides in appl server and I want to do transfer from appl server to db server.
Thaks for your patience.

Nagendra

How to pass environment variables to adf application?

Hi,
I Created form function with this settings to open my adf application:
Type : SSWA plsql function
Maint Mode = None
Context : Resp
Web HTML : test.jsp
Web host: 192.168.1.30:8890
This works fine. But how can I pass environment variables as parameters?
I like to pass username and org_id.
Thanks in advance

KdeGraaf,
Sounds real interestign what you are saying. But I don't know what you mean with:"the application server name appended till html folder($COMMON_TOP/html) "
Basically if u make a SSWA jsp function with only jsp name say A.jsp.At runtime the url is automatically converted tohttp://<application server>:<port number>/OA_HTML/A.jsp
By the way $COMMON_TOP/html folder is the location for all jsps' in EBS.
Where can I find some information about making a OAF page wrapper? Because I have totaly now experience with OAF.
Make a OAF page, say page A, in process request of page get all the context data say, responsibility, org etc, and set it in http session.Then redirect the flow to ur ADF application page. If ur new and have no knowledge how do we build a page in OAF, u can download OAF developers guide from metalink. Search old threads u would get get the metalink id.--Mukul

How to pass a variable more than one values?

How to pass a variable more than one values?

You can't.
During 1 session, 1 ODI variable can have only 1 value at a time.
If you need more than 1 value, you will have to do somethink like a loop inside your package, and refresh the variable value each time.

How can pass information between 2 par file in iView???

Hello,using PDK i've have created an iview calling 2 .par file, the first par file contains a menu that the user selects a products and then when press load button generates a table with information. The table with information is generated in second .par file, that collects the information passed by the menu (through beans) and with a BAPI generates the table. I made it because the menu must be separated in one frame, and the table in other...(and the first frame must displace, how a html frame)
The question, how can pass information between two par files or if are another method to made 2 frames????
I'm using jsp,HTMLB .

How to read environment variable

How do I read an environment variable within TS?
I was thinking of calling getenv("VARIABLE_NAME") except it returns a char * and TS only allows Boolean or Numeric return type.
I wonder if LV has any function for doing the same thing.

With the new ability in TestStand 4.2 to get the standard output from a command line, you can do this with a call executable step.
Simply call cmd.exe as the executable, and pass it the following expression. Then all you have to do is set Locals.EnvironmentVariableName to the name of the environment variable you want the value of and define where you want the standard output to be stored.
"/C \"echo %"+Locals.EnvironmentVariableName+"%\""
I'm attaching a sequence file that shows this. The attachment is necessarily saved in TestStand 4.2, since it uses a feature introduced in that version.

How to pass a variable for a SQL query in OLEDB source?

Hi All,
I am new to SSIS and working on it past few days. Can anyone please help me getting through a scenario where I need to pass a variable in the SQL statement in OLEDB source connection. Please find below for the details.
eg:
1) I have a SQL table with the columns SerialNumber, Name, IsValid, FileName with multiple rows.
2) I have the file Name in a variable called Variable1.
3) I want to read the data from my SQL table filtering based on the FileName (Variable1) within a data flow task and pull that data to the destination table.
Question: In the data flow task, added source and destination DB connection with a script component in between to perform my validations. When trying to retrieve the data from source using the variable (i.e. SQL Query with variable), I am not able to add
the query as the SQL statement box is disabled. How to filter the data based on the variable in the source DB ?
Any help/suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks,
Sri

Just to add with Vaibhav comment .
SQL Command : SQL query either with SQL variable or any condition or simple Sql statement
Like ;
Select * from dimcustomer
SQL Command using Varible :
Sometimes we design our dynamic query in variable and directly use that variable name in oledb source.
If you Sql query needs a condition based on SSIS variable .
you can find a Example here :

How to set environment variable?

Hi,
I just succeeded starting up an external executable by using nativeprocess.
Now I have to set the portnumber as an environment variable.
After setting this portnumber, I can send queries to the executable.
But I don't now how to set this environment variable.
You can see my try in bold:
Starting the executable (an extract of the code):
public var portnumber;
file = file.resolvePath("C:\\Program Files\\CM Synergy 6.3\\bin\\start_dbase.exe");    #start executable
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, getportnumber);    #get portnumber as output of the executable
The next step is to define the variable portnumber:
file = file.resolvePath("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe");
processArgs[0] = "/C";
processArgs[1] = "set";
processArgs[2] = "portnumber=";
processArgs[3] = portnumber;
When I try to print out all environment variables, portnumber is not in:
file = file.resolvePath("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe");
processArgs[0] = "/C";
processArgs[1] = "set";
If I replace the last executable with my real command (running the query), the executable is giving the error that my portnumber is not set.
Is it possible? I have also tried it with setx.exe. Even running a python script where I set os.environ is not working.
I have the feeling that the command is executed but that the variable is not remembered for the next executable.

Hello Martin,
Thanks for your input. I have tried what you suggested but it didn't work. I will post my source code. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. After setting my variable portnumber, I would normally run a query. Instead of running the query, I'm writing out the environment variables. Unfortunately, portnumber is not in the list . I also tried using "setx" insetad of "cmd.exe set" but without any difference.
    public var portnumber;
    public function run_query():void
        var file:File = new File("C:/WINDOWS/System32/cmd.exe");
        var si:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
        si.executable = file;
        var processArgs:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
        processArgs[0] = "/C";
        processArgs[1] = "set";
        nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
        var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
        process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
        process.start(si);
    public function set_portnumber():void
        var file:File = new File("C:/WINDOWS/System32/cmd.exe");
        var si:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
        si.executable = file;
        var process:NativeProcess = new NativeProcess();
        process.start(si);
        process.standardInput.writeUTF("set portnumber="+portnumber+"\n")
        setTimeout(run_query, 1000);
    public function onOutputData(event:ProgressEvent):void
        var process:NativeProcess = event.target as NativeProcess;
        textReceived.text += process.standardOutput.readUTFBytes(process.standardOutput.bytesAvailable) + "\n";

How to pass a variable from HTML to Flash

Using environment variable in rule file

Hi,
I want to datacopy from one cube (scenario Forecast) to another (scenario FcstJan, FcstFeb, and so on) based on which month is running currently. I want to use environment variable in the rule file. The Forecast data will be extracted in .txt and will be imported to the second cube in FcstJan if current month is Jan and same for Feb, Mar..... The CurrentMth will be my env variable.
Can anyone please let me know how I can use that variable in the rule file. Or, if there is any other way to load the same.
Thanks.

You could just set a substitution variable and then use the substitution variable in the header of the rule.
Have a read of :- Re: Data error
to understand about using substitution variables in the header of a rule file.
Cheers
