Novell Linux Client, -E/--passenv environment variable?

Hi!
I've been experimenting with the Novell Client for Linux v1.2 on
SLED10. I have most of it working as intended.
Now I'd like to integrate with some scripts to do automatic logins. I
notice that in the help message (from 'nwlogin --help'), this
information is present:
-E, --passenv
pass password via environment variable
The same (almost, it only lists --passenv, not -E) goes for gnwlogin.
This looks like a very useful feature for script integration, but
unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on which environment
variable to use. The -E/--passenv parameter is also missing from the
nwlogin(1) manual page.
What environment variable should be used? Is this feature official, so
that I can rely on it being present in later versions of the client?
Thanks,
\EF

Novell Linux Client Auto launch

Hello I had a question about having the Novell Linux Client launch immediately after the user logs into their SLED system user their local user name and password. On NLD 9 desktops I was able to go into small launcher program (I cannot remember what it was called, sorry) and I could add the Novell Client to that launcher program. Then when the user logged into the NLD 9 desktop the Novell client for Linux would launch, and they could add in their user name and password for the NetWare servers, processing login scripts, etc. Does anyone know how that can be accomplished with SLED 10 SP2 or SLED 11? I have tried to add the Novell client to the system tray which is not exactly the same things that I am looking to accomplish. Also what is the Novell client version that should be used with both of those desktops? I am mainly using SLED 10 SP2 but I have started to work with SLED 11 thank you.

You want to add the Novell Login app to the startup, gnwlogin. The tray
app, ncl_tray, is started automatically.

Reading Environment variables

Hi,
We are having a Flex Application running in Flash player 9.0
in IE browser. We have a requirement to read the user environment
variables(Basically client's machine environment variables). Is it
possible using Flash.
Please help us

I do not believe this is possible with just Flex running on
Flash Player. Flash Player is specifically limited on what
information it can gather to avoid security issues. The only pieces
of system information exposed to Flash Player are those gathered
from the flash.system API:

Servlets: how do I get client's environment variables

Hi everybody
I make various servlets, and like to get the client's environment variables (such as used by the SET command under Windows). Especially username which is set in Windows-NT.
Are there any straight forward way to get these?
.. or can I get them and return them via a javaScript?
Arne

The servlet runs on the server. The browser and JavaScript run on the client. If you wanted to use JavaScript to pass them back, you would have to pass them back to the server through another servlet.
Or you could use an applet and get at the standard Java properties. Nobody should use environment variables anyway, as you can't guarantee a computer even has them. :-)

Best practices for defining Environment Variables/User Accounts in Linux

Hello,
After reading throught the Quick Install guide for 10gR2 on x86_64 Linux, I see that it is not recommended to define ANY variables in .bash_profile.
I'm hoping to get a Best practices approach for defining environment variables - right now we use the oracle linux account for administration including sql*plus. So, where should the myriad variables be defined? Is it important enough to create a user account in linux to support best practices?
What variables, exactly, should be defined? It seems that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is no longer being used?
Thanks in advance
Doug

Something that I've done for years on unix/linux boxes is to create a seperate environment variable setup file for each instance on the box. This would include things like ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, etc. Then I would create an alias in my .bash_profile that would execute this script. As an example, I would create a orcl.env file that would hold all of the environment variables for this instance. Then in my .bash_profile I would create a line like the following:
alias orcl=". $HOME/orcl.env"
Then from anywhere you could type orcl and you would set your environment to connect to that database.
Also, if you are using 10g, something else that is really nice if you are using sqlplus, and you connect to different databases without starting a new sqlplus session is to set a parameter in your $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql file:
set sqlprompt "_user 'at' _connect_identifier >"
This will automatically change your command prompt to look like this:
RALPH at ORCL >
if you connect as GEORGE, your prompt will immediately change to :
GEORGE at ORCL >
This way you can always know who and where you are connected to.
Good luck!

Environment Variables for Visual Basic Clients

How does one set the environment variables when writing clients in Visual Basic.
I would like the set the variables TUXDIR, WSNADDR etc at runtime, instead of
setting them in the Control Panel
Thanks

Hello,
I don't know too much about Visual Basic, but if you can bind to the Tuxedo C
functions from VB I'd suggest you simply call the tuxputenv() function a couple
of times to setup the environment for your process.
Hope this helps,

The NLS_LANG environment variable for Form Builder 10g on Linux

Hi,
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Linux Enterprise AS4 successfully,and set environment variable NLS_LANG="SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16GBK",LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8".When i executed the following: /home/oracle/Orant/bin/frmbld
I got the error as:
X Error of failed request:BadFont(invalid Fond parameter)
Major opcode of failed request:56(X_ChangeGC)
Resource id in failed request:Ox2c000af
Serial number of failed request:3376
Current serial number in output stream 3517
FRM-18122: ’Form Builder Debugger.
If i delete the NLS_LANG environment variable,the Form Builder can be running,but i can't keyboard input[b] chinese characters in the PL/SQL Editor.
I don't know how to solve the problem,anybody can help me?

Hello Howard,
Check out the following link here you can find your desired NLS parameters.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
And about the NLS_LANG for developer why you want to create for developer. Its is already there in REGISTRY. Just seaching in developer registry you can find there.
how do I set more than 1 at a time.
You can set only one NLS_LANG parameter at a time.

Setting Linux environment variable

Is there other web site which talks about how to set the environment variable of J2EE for Linux?
I followed this web site
http://www.dougsparling.com/comp/howto/linux_java.html
but after all
when I tired to compile a servlet program... it couldn't be complied. I think the case is that the compiler couldn't find servlet.jar ...
why is that?

You have to verify that your CLASSPATH environment variable is set in your account's profile. I use the
bash shell therefore my variables are set in .bashrc
for example my CLASSPATH is set to :
CLASSPATH=.:$J2EE_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar:$J2EE_HOME/lib/locale

Setting new environment variable on Linux

{noformat}I need to set new environment variable on my linux machine from inside my code. I am using csh and the command works fine from command line:
setenv IFConfigLocation4 /home/username/myfile.xml
But when i try the same thing from Java code it does not seem to have any effect. here is my code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class CDE_parser_methods{
public static String fileParse(String inFile, String parserName, String outFile, String CMConfig_locale)
String parsed = "SUCCESSFUL";
System.out.println("Parsing file..." + "\nParser name: " + parserName +"\nInput file name: " + inFile + "\nOutput file name: " + outFile + "\nCMConfig file is: " + CMConfig_locale);
System.out.println("Current Java version: " + System.getProperty("java.version"));
try
          String cmd[]={"/bin/csh", "-c", "setenv IFConfigLocation4 " + CMConfig_locale};
          Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
          int exitVal= proc.waitFor();
          System.out.println("Value of setenv command is: " + exitVal);
          String cmd2[]={"/bin/csh", "-c", "env"};
          Process proc2 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd2);
          InputStream instr = proc2.getInputStream();
          InputStreamReader inread = new InputStreamReader(instr);
          BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(inread);
          String line=null;
          while((line=buf.readLine()) != null)
               System.out.println(line);
          int exitVal2= proc2.waitFor();
          }catch(CMException cme){
               System.out.println("Issue when trying to executing parse command, details: " + cme.getMessage());
               System.out.println("Description of the issue is: " + cme.getDescription());
               parsed = "FAILURE: " + cme.getDescription();
          }catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println("Uncought exception, details: " + e.getMessage());
               parsed = "FAILURE: " + e.getMessage();
     return parsed;
public static void main(String[] args) {
     String results=CDE_parser_methods.fileParse("/opt/itemfield/ServiceDB/Project2/Mapping_for_Account_Number_Structure_ITS_Input_File.xls","MappingforAccountNumberStructure","/opt/itemfield/ServiceDB/Project2/test_ws_44.xml","/home/rvenishe/CMConfig.xml");
     System.out.println("Result of fileParse call is: " + results);
     }The out put of my env command does NOT contain system variable "IFConfigLocation4". Any ideas? {noformat}

Environment variables and their values set from within a user process has their scope and lifetime limited to the process and its subprocesses. See java.lang.ProcessBuilder class and its API documentation for setting env for a subprocess that will be started by a ProcessBuilder instance. Even in the C programming we have the same limitation for the environment.
Since they are not globally set, system command like env or Java method like System.getenv() can't see them.

WebForms - Accessing Environment Variable on a Windows Client

Hi. We access a Windows Environment Variable using Client-Server Forms 6i. We do this as follows:
Tool_Env.GetVar('ALLUSERSPROFILE', myPath);
message(myPath);This returns the value 'c:\documents and settings\all users' on Windows XP.
This returns the value 'c:\programdata' on Windows 7.
We'd like to keep similar logic in this form once it's migrated to Web Forms. Is there a way to access this 'allusersprofile' environment variable (or any environment variable to determine whether the user is XP or Win7) from a web form running our UNIX server? Maybe somehow using WebUtil or something?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

WebUtil enable your form then do this:
message (CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Environment_string('allusersprofile'));To get the Windows version, do this:
message(CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Windows_Version);.

Oracle Environment Variables on Linux

Hi,
First, I'll admit that I'm very, very new to Linux. I'm running Oracle Database XE 11g R2 on a virtual machine (Virtualbox) that is running Oracle Enterprise Linux 6. Whenever I open a terminal window and set ORACLE_HOME, PATH, and ORACLE_SID, I can easily access SQLPlus, simply by typing "SQLPlus". However, if I close that window and then open another terminal window, I cannot access SQLPlus, simply by typing "SQLPlus". I have to re-specify the environment variables first.
I'm sure that this is something simple but my lack of Linux experience is keeping me from finding the issue. Also, I've not found any documentation that helps but please point me to it if I've missed it.
Thanks,
Brian

You can also set your environment by using a shell script that comes with the XE default installation:
# source /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh
There's also a backup script.
# /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/config/scripts/backup.sh
assuming that you've installed the XE instance in the default path /u01
C.

How to Get the Client's Environment Variables?

I have a page which need inputing account of the intranet then send a mail upon the intranet.So,it is important for me to verify if the account is legal or if this account is the user himself or herself in order to refuse any bad sending.
Of course I can get Environment Variables of "user.name" of my own PC.But How can I get Others before they can send mail?

You can't read with an applet some system properties, including the "user.name" property. Not even with a signed applet.
Here you have some links:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/practical/properties.html
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/practical/security.html
http://java.sun.com/sfaq/#getProps
So you should find another way, for instance authentication.
