Passing environment variables to managed server during nmStart

I'm trying to script automated start with WLST using node managers but noticed that we're having some applications depending on some environment variables being set during startup.
How can I pass these from the node manager? Is it possible?
I'm trying to keep the number of nodemanagers to a minimum, otherwise I just could have just used a second one with these variables defined.
Edit: Could I just use os.environ perhaps for this?
Edit2: Say I wan't to use the admin console to restart said managed servers, is it possible to set these variables when starting from the adminconsole through the node manager?

os.environ did not work because the nodemanager forks a new process inherited on it self... seems like I need a second nodemanager...

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 can I pass environment variables to the child process?

How can I pass environment variables to the child process? This is what I tried and it didn't work.
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("The value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));
     }and the result is:
The value of custom.property is : null

Complete test:
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-Dcustom.property=my property value", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();

Environment Variables of Application Server

Hi,
I would like to know whether we have any option to get the environment variables of Application server. Just like how we can get the environment variables of Presentation server using the Method ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
Thanks
Sarves S V K

Resolved by self.
Answer:
I found the function module SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM which will help me in my case.
Provide 'ENV' in the command and we will get all the Environment variables of Application Server.
Thanks.

Stopping connections to Service Manager server during an upgrade

Planning an upgrade from 2012 SP1 to R2. The more I read, the more questions I have. Document from MS says to make sure there are no connections to the Service Manager server during the upgrade. How is this possible? Most of our connections are through
Citrix so we can check Citrix connections and disconnect them but what about local installs of the console on client computers? Is there some shell command to run to see active connections and terminate them? If so, how to you keep them from reconnecting?

It's not really a big deal. just declare downtime and shut down your load balancer. a few errant connections won't cause a problem, but any changes that are submitted may not be saved.

[SOLVED] Pass Environment variables from PKGBUILD to .INSTALL script

Hi everyone,
I am trying to modify the grub2-efi-bzr (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38369) package making some changes in the PKGBUILD and the post-install script. I want to pass few environment variables from the PKGBUILD to the install script. How do I do that?
Some code from the PKGBUILD
_bzrtrunk="lp:grub/grub2" # GRUB2 BZR Main Trunk
# _bzrtrunk="lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-bzr-exp" # GRUB2 BZR Experimental Branch
_bzrmod="grub2"
if [ ${_bzrtrunk} = "lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-bzr-exp" ]
then
_bzrmod="grub2_exp"
pkgver="exp_${pkgver}"
fi
# grub-extras bzr repo locations
_bzrtrunk_zfs="lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-extras-zfs"
_bzrtrunk_lua="lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-extras-lua"
if [ "$CARCH" = 'i686' ]
then
_EFI_ARCH=i386
elif [ "$CARCH" = 'x86_64' ]
then
_EFI_ARCH=x86_64
fi
# _EFI_ARCH=x86_64 # Uncomment if you want to override the if condition for _EFI_ARCH above, incase the EFI ARCH does not match the Linux Kernel ARCH.
# $CARCH=x86_64 and _EFI_ARCH=i386 requires gcc-multilib with lib32-glibc installed in the system.
# I do not know about $CARCH=i686 and _EFI_ARCH=x86_64
if [ ${_EFI_ARCH} = "i386" ]
then
pkgver="${pkgver}_x86"
_trns_name="grub2_efi_x86"
elif [ ${_EFI_ARCH} = "x86_64" ]
then
pkgver="${pkgver}_x64"
_trns_name="grub2_efi_x64"
fi
Now the post-install script needs the values of _EFI_ARCH and _trns_name env variables. I do not want to copy the if statements to that script as these are decided at compile time but needed while setting up grub2-efi. This is due to the fact that EFI-ARCH need not match the Linux Kernel ARCH. How do I do that.
Code from the post-install script
${_trns_name}-install --root-directory=/ --no-floppy --recheck --debug
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/lua.mod /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/zfs.mod /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/zfsinfo.mod /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/unifont.pf2 /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/ascii.pf2 /boot/${_trns_name}/
${_trns_name}-mkimage --verbose --directory=/usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi --prefix="" --output=/boot/${_trns_name}/grub2.efi --format=${_EFI_ARCH}-efi ${_EFI_APP_MODULES}
Thank in advance.

Your code works except for 1 problem in the install script I want
export __EFI_APP_MODULES="${_EFI_APP_MODULES}" (the passed ${_EFI_APP_MODULES} value should again come inside double quotes).
right now
export _EFI_APP_MODULES=ata part_gpt part_msdos fat ntfs ntfscomp ext2 iso9660 udf hfsplus fshelp normal chain linux ls search search_fs_file search_fs_uuid search_label help loopback boot configfile echo efi_gop efi_uga xnu xnu_uuid lvm
which is equivalent to
export _EFI_APP_MODULES=ata
I want
export _EFI_APP_MODULES="ata part_gpt part_msdos fat ntfs ntfscomp ext2 iso9660 udf hfsplus fshelp normal chain linux ls search search_fs_file search_fs_uuid search_label help loopback boot configfile echo efi_gop efi_uga xnu xnu_uuid lvm"
How to do it with sed since sed already uses double quotes?

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.
Regards,
Nagendra

Using a environment variable that was created during the Task Sequence process - SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
I'm triyng to use a environment variable that is create in the beginning of the Task Sequence.
1. I'm using a VBScript that get the Exit Code of an application, and create the environment variable "iReturn" with the value of the exit code. (This is working)
2. I add this variable in the CustomSettings.ini, like this "iReturn=%iReturn%
3. After the step that I run the VBScript I put the "Gather" step to get the variables, but looking in the BDD.log the iReturn variable appears the same as the CustomSettings.ini configuration "iReturn=%iReturn%". (But, if I put a "Restart
Computer" step after the VBScript, the BDD.log shows the iReturn variable with the right code.)
Question: How can I update the environment variable of Windonws XP to use in the Task Sequence without restart.
OR
How can I configure autologon in SCCM 2012 (if have no way to update withou restart computer).
I already tried the autologon with registry settings and a specific user, If I starts the process with this user works, but If I starts the process with other user, after the autologon the process doesnt continue, I have to do logoff and login with the user
that I started the process.
PS: All this steps have to be executed before the WinPE phase.

Environment variables must be explicitly set every time a system boots so unless you have a process to repopulate it after the reboot, it won't persist automatically.
Why not store the value in a task sequence variable so that it persists after a reboot?

Passing environment variables to netbeans

How can I make netbeans pick my current environment variables

Possibly by specifying an option on the netbeans command.

Using environment variable / double quotes in "Arguments" in "Server Start"

I have an admin server, NodeManager, and 1 managed server, all on the same machine (windows). I am trying to enter something similar to this to the arguments field in the Server Start tab:
-Dmy.property=%USERPROFILE%\someDir\someJar.jar
But when the managed server is started it throws this exception:
Error opening zip file or JAR manifest missing : %USERPROFILE%\someDir\someJar.jar
It appears that the environment variable is not being translated into it's value. It is just passed on to the managed server as plain-text. I tried surrounding the path with double quotes (") but the console validates the input and does not allow this: *"Arguments may not contain '"'"*
Even editing the config.xml file manually cannot work, as the admin server fails to startup after this:
<Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000362> <Server failed. Reason: [Management:141266]Parsing failure in config.xml: java.lang
.IllegalArgumentException: Arguments may not contain '"'.>
I also tried using %20 to no avail, it is just passed as %20.
I thought that perhaps this had something to do with the spaces in the value of %USERPROFILE% (which is "C:\documents and settings.."), but the same thing happens with other env. variables which point to other directories with no spaces.
_My question:_
Is there any supported way of :
using double quotes? what if i have to reference a folder with spaces in it's name?
reference an environment variable? What if i have to rely on it's value for distributed servers where i do not know in advance the variable's value?

Pass flash variables to server - the best way?

I am using URLVariables at the moment to pass flash variables to the server via php script and update a database rows.
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
At the moment around 9 variables are sent which are then updated in the mysql db.
I have read that calls to the database via php are the main source of traffic or at least one of them. I am talking about 100 - 500 concurrent users.
Obvously I am going to need expert help medium term but I would like to give things a go myself.
I have read about amfPHP but I don't seem to understand it too well.
Also, I can cut down the amount of php calls per user as I have them all over the place for lots of games and mini exercises.
BUT is it possible to get those nine variables into an object and pass the object. Would one object be faster than passing 9 variables and would that object be placed into one cell of the mysql databse.
What would that look like? At the moment I can read my db easily but if there is an object in there, how do you read that?
Is that what serializning is? Passing an object and all the data is converted to binary etc...
As you see I'm a little lost.
Thanks in advance.

Just my two cents.
URLVariables is one of the ways to construct url query. There is no difference in doing it either way (second way is faster):
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/page.html");
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.var0 = 3;
variables.var1 = "blah";
request.data = variables;
sendToURL(request);
OR JUST
sendToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.google.com/page.html?var0=3&var1=blah"));
I guess object serialization will be less efficient because, I suspect, it will be a larger string and it is much more processor intensive of both Flash and server side.
I also suspect that http servers have a very efficient way to parse and process requests and variables that come with it - after all this is server's first and the most important duty.
My point is that I don't believe there is anything better than sending data with query string unless there is a need for obfuscation.
As a proof - the fact that large volume and frequent updates sites like advertising servers never use anything but plain old query strings attests to the above points.
As far as DB updates speed goes - it has nothing to do with the means info is sent but rather is a consequence of server and DB performance aspects. It's just a matter of money :-)

Library paths and environment variables

Hello,
I am using 10g AS 9.0.4 on a Unix system.
I am trying to convert an old JSP web application to work with 10g. It is not an EAR/WAR file so I am manually trying to set it up under the "default-web-app" folder. It uses a number of java class files which currently reside in $J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/classes/mystuff.
These class files require access to a number of libraries. I foolishly believed that they would be accessible if I were to place them in the $J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib folder, but that did not work.
I read that OC4J uses a "catch all" lib directory at $J2EE_HOME/applib. I copied the library files there and they still did not work.
Frustrated, I tried to print out the environment variables for the server - only to find that this function is not supported.
I managed to print out the library path by creating a Java class files which returns the following as a string:
System.getProperty("java.library.path");
This (when called from a JSP) prints a number of different library paths, none of which match those found listed in the $J2EE_HOME/config/application.xml file. I placed the library files in one of the paths listed by the "java.library.path" and it worked!
3 questions:
1. How do you print the server's environment variables using a JSP? This strikes me as a very useful function for sorting out library and path issues. Do a search on Google for "print environment variables OC4J" or something similar and there are no useful pages suggesting how this can be done.
2. Why are the default library paths different on the server than to those specified in application.xml?
3. How do I change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or any environment variable for that matter)? I have tried adding the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties without success:
wrapper.env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/custom/library/path
Any help you can offer would be most appreciated.

>
Thanks very much for a such a comprehensive response
- it has helped answer a lot of questions, especially
being able to print out the system properties. That
will be really useful!
No worries at all Rob.
The main hurdle is that the libraries are indeed
native (*.so) libraries. I hadn't considered that
until you pointed it out in your message. Can I
assume, then, that $J2EE_HOME/applib and
$J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib are only
designed to handle Java's .JAR librares? That would
explain why placing the native libraries in there
didn't work, but is there a way of getting such
native libraries recognised and bundled up in a
WAR/EAR file?
Yep, that's it.
Our proprietary applib and the servlet specs web-inf/lib are only dealing with Java archives.
The J2EE specs don't cover how to deal with native libs like this.
Now I've NEVER EVER tried it, but it's worth a shot of at least trying -- for simplified packaging purposes, what you may be able to do is to distribute the .so's within the web-inf/lib -- and then just set that directory (where's its realized on the server after the app is deployed) to be referenced witihn the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'd expect our deployment manager will just ignore files it doesn't know about, so arguably you should be able to at least distribute them with the standard archive.
You'll need to specifically set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a separate task outside of the deployment operation though.

Database (10.1.0) at $ORACLE_HOME under the user
"oracle". I logged in as the user "oracle" to install
the Application Server into a different location (In
this case, "$ORACLE_HOME/../ias10g_9.0.4" - let's
call this $IAS_HOME). So there is no separate user
account for Oracle Database and Application Server
(and hence no separate $LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
If I log into UNIX as the user "oracle" and echo the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I get the following directories:
$ORACLE_HOME/lib
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
/usr/dt/lib
/usr/lib
I use this user to do "opmnctl stopall" and "opmnctl
startall". If I then print out the library path from
a JSP using
"System.getProperty("java.library.path");", I get the
following paths:
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc/server
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/../lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/opmn/lib
$IAS_HOME/lib
$IAS_HOME/usr/lib
Which is totally different to those listed by
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the command line, which means
they must be coming from somewhere else.
It gets worse - my application is trying to call a
native library that is only present in the
$ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory (libclntsh.so.10.1), so
unless I can include this path in the
"java.library.path" on the Applicaiton Server, then
my program will not work.
So, how do I change the "java.library.path" when the
values aren't coming from $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the
first place?
The utility $IAS_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl is actually a shell script.
It has this section which sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
if [ -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]
then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi
So if you have an existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var set, it should just be putting its paths onto the front of it.
What you could try as a quick test is to edit the opmnctl script (after taking a backup of course) and either appending the path you need to it, or just add some debug statements to output the LD_LIBRARY_PATH value it ends up setting so you can try and work out what's causing it.
I expect these other entries:
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc/server
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/../lib/sparc
are coming from the JRE when it is launched, in probably a similar manner to our opmn entries.
I really appreciate your help, and I bet if anyone
can answer these questions, you can! ;-)
You're very welcome.
cheers

Deployer Installation: Failed to validate Release Management Server for Team Foundation Server 2013

Attempting to install the deployer on a machine and getting the below error. Not sure what that means, out of turn error or what actually occurs at this step, validating release management server, during the configuration piece. The user,
that we set for the service was validated fine. The user is an service account in the TFS RM Server, is an admin on the local box as well.
I am able to get into the TFS RM Server through the client just fine. I can hit the TFS RM UI just fine as well.
Curious what would not allow the deployer to complete as mentioned below.
Any help is appreciated.

Conversion Agent Environment Variables.

Hi Experts,
We are using on Conversion Agent for converting EDI file data into XML.
Using Parser for this.
The problem is related to Enviornment Variables to be loaded on XI Server.
What will be the environment variables for this purpose and what will be the value for the same.
I have loaded three Environement Variable on XI Server for Conversion Agent,
1. CLASSPATH - C:\Program Files\SAP\ConversionAgent\api\lib\CM_JavaAPI.jar
2. IFCONTENTMASTER_HOME - C:\Program Files\SAP\ConversionAgent\
3. Path - C:\Program Files\SAP\ConversionAgent\bin
Are these entries correct ? Please help.
When I am using
To use the remote support interface:
1. In Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 6.0 or higher, browse to
http://HOST:PORT/CMViewer
Selecting Event : View Initialization Events, it is giving me an
error : Event file not found!
Selecting Event : View Execution Events, it is not showing any Date in
Date field and not showing any service in Service Field and Next
Pushbutton is also disable.
What is the problem ? Please help.
Regards,

Yes it shows up after restart of BIDS .
But during design time this is a bug I hope Microsoft fixes this bug in the future releases
Mudassar
It's not really a bug. Visual Studio loads the environment variables when starting up.
In future releases you use projects and parameters instead of environment variables, so the issue goes away ;)
