Problem reading environment variable in windows

Hi,
When I run this program,
env1 = "Console";
env2 = (System.getenv("SESSIONNAME"));
System.out.print(env1.length() + "/");
System.out.println(env2.length() + "/");
System.out.print(env2 + "/");
System.out.println(System.getenv("SESSIONNAME") + "/");
if (env1 == env2) System.out.println("identical");
else System.out.println("wrong"); I got this output
7/7/
Console/Console/
wrongWhen I type "set" in a Windows cmd box,
I have SESSIONNAME=Console
I don't see why env1 and env2 are different.
Do you know ?
Thanks,

O now, I made this mistake already found it myself, but this I did not think about, I
am sorry to post such a stupid problem !
and indeed this works, I can continue now.
if ((System.getenv("SESSIONNAME").equals("Console"))) System.out.println("identical");
else System.out.println("wrong"); Thanks jverd !

Try the PhotoShop forum. However, you need to give information about the version of PhotoShop you have installed (assuming you were successful). If you do not have PhotoShop installed, then why ask the question. My point is that you have left a lot out of your post.

How to read Environment Variable in Java.

Hi,
I am trying to read a environment variable $TMP which has a value of /apps/bea/pt847/psoft5/tmp in UNIX.
I have written the following code and getting Null pointer exception when calling the method logmessage. Any help with reading environment variable is appreciated.
public static void logMessage(String message) {
       SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ");
       Date now = new Date();
       Properties p = null;
       try
          p = getEnvVars("$TMP");
          System.out.println("the current value of TEMP is : " + p.getProperty("$TMP"));
       catch (Throwable e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
       try
       BufferedWriter os = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("/tmp/pscas_signon_log.txt", true));
       os.write(formatter.format(now));
       os.write(message);
       os.write("\n");
       os.write("tmp_env = " + p.getProperty("$TMP"));
       os.write("\n");
       os.close();

Jar file doesn't read classpath environment variable from windows xp

I created a small program that uses javamail and jdbc driver. I program on Win XP and use java 1.6.04.
When I compiled my classes the program works fine but when I created a jar package the jar file cannot 'see' the classpath that windows has already set.
I have to set the classpath in the manifest file and then it works ok.
Is this normal? I was expecting that the jar file would work just fine without any complication since the classpath is already set in the system?
If you could point to any documentation that covers this it would be great.
Thank you very much.

Setting ORACLE_HOME as Environment variable in Windows

Hi,
I have a problem.
I am using Oracle Application Server 9.0.4. on Windows 2000 server .
There are 2 homes, one for mid tier and one for Infra.
Now when I look in PATH variable of the environment variables, i can see both homes specified there.
But when issue echo %ORACLE_HOME% from command prompt then i can see nothing.
And there is no ORACLE_HOME environment variable, so i created a ORACLE_HOME variable and assigned the Oracle home path to it.
Now when i issue the command echo %ORACLE_HOME% i can see the value of the ORACLE_HOME,
So is this the correct way to set the ORACLE_HOME?
Is this the way to create the ORACLE_HOME environment variable.
Thanks & Regards,
Avinash.

So is this the correct way to set the ORACLE_HOME?
Is this the way to create the ORACLE_HOMEenvironment
variable.No. Not on Windows platforms.
The Oracle Home paths are already set via Windows
Resgistry values. Check HKLM\Software\Oracle\ (HOMEx
or KEY_<home name>) for ORACLE_HOME settings.
This is used by programs via PATH and when calling a
program that uses the oracle.key files from OH\bin.
Setting it via system environment could override
individual settings, which may lead to unwanted
results or issues.True for some areas.
And yet, for Patching you MUST set the Oracle_Home variable, in which case Virag's response is the correct method.

Setting Environment variable in windows xp

Thanx,

Problem with environment variable & compiling

G'day all,
I'm totally confused :(
I've set my environment detail but when I use javac the command window just does nothing. The cursor (or flashing thingo) drops to the line below and just hangs there. If i manually type in the entire path javac works fine.

Using Windows 7, JDK 1.6.0_18 and latest version of Eclipse is installed.
Second issue:
I wrote a program using Eclipse. It all went into a package named "openagil". 3 classes in total. Class "A", "B", "C". A uses both B and C. It creates an instance of B and C. Included in each is package openagil; at the very top.
Running in eclipse it works fine. However, how do I compile this using javac and then in turn run it? The .java files are located within a workbench folder (java) and then in the package directory (openagil). These are contained on the D drive so "d:\java\openagil" - No class variables are set as I am unsure how this is done (despite reading a few guides).
I can do javac d:\...*.java and it'll compile all of them fine but I am then unsure how to run it. I think what I do is do java openagil.classA but this pulls up errors - an "exception in thread' error followed by a "noclassdeffound: openagil/classA" then a whole bunch of URL/Access Controller stuff.

Within JBuilder, Reading Environment Variable From a BATCH File

Hi ppl:
Following my scenario without JBuilder. I would like to be able to do the same with JBuilder, so that I can run my application from within.
1. In the DOS window, I run a config.bat file that sets up a whole bunch of environment variables and then calls another script file that sets up another whole bunch to set up environment for a third party API (C++ based).
2. My application uses native methods to call the third party API which uses the environment variables set in step 1.
I know how to set the environment varialbes in JBuilder (Project Parameters, VM). However, I don't know how I can call a batch file that does the same. I don't want to set up the third party variables in JBuilder manually, since the script that sets them up checks on a few things to customize the environment.
I also know how to run a batch file from JBuilder, but that does not set the environment for the application. It seems like the batch file is run in a separate process.
Any ideas?
Kamran

It seems like the batch file is run in a separate process.Yes, it is. That's a design feature of Windows. The environment variables that a process creates are available to any subprocess, but when the process ends, the environment variables vanish. That's because they are part of the process, not global variables as you might wish.
So that's why your non-JBuilder scenario works; your C++ program is running in a subprocess of the process that defined the environment variables. And your JBuilder scenario doesn't work because the batch file it runs is in a process whose parent process is Windows, not JBuilder.

R12, Environment Variables on Windows, and OBIEE

Dear Experts,
I've managed to install R12 on Windows.
Now, in the global environment variable, Path, the user Oracle has a number of directories in its default PATH, starting with the Oracle apps middle tier.
C:\oapps\apps\tech_st\10.1.2\bin;
C:\oapps\apps\tech_st\10.1.2\jdk\jre\bin\classic;
C:\oapps\apps\tech_st\10.1.2\jdk\jre\bin;
C:\oapps\apps\tech_st\10.1.2\jlib;
C:\oapps\apps\tech_st\10.1.3\bin;
C:\oapps\db\tech_st\11.1.0\bin;
C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;
I notice that there are .cmd scripts that set the Path.
This script sets the path to look in: c:\oapps\db
cd C:\oapps\db\tech_st\11.1.0
VIS_black.cmd
echo %PATH%
C:\oapps\db\tech_st\11.1.0\perl\5.8.3\bin\MSWin32-x86-multithread\;
C:\oapps\db\tech_st\11.1.0\bin;
This script sets the path to look in: c:\oapps\apps
set PATH=""
cd c:\oapps\apps\apps_st\appl
VIS_black.cmd
echo %PATH%
C:\oapps\apps\apps_st\appl\au\12.0.0\bin;
I'd like to install OBIEE on the same server. Obviously, I don't want any path conflicts. And, OBIEE uses a different version of java.
1)
Do all these Apps directories need to remain in the global PATH environment variable? Or, can the directories be removed from the path, and the scripts can be relied on to set the appropriate variables?
Thanks a lot!

if you want global settings (always present, even after reboot), you have to edit the autoexec.bat file, e..g
SET CLASSPATH=c:\myclasses
you can set environment variables temporarility in a DOS shell using the same command.
if possible, you should avoid the CLASSPATH environment variable, and use the -cp or -classpath option for java and javac. This helps a lot to solve classpath confusions.

Problem with ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES in MS-DOS

I have just installed JDK & J2EESDK under the directory C:\Program Files.
I set my JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\jdkblahblah\bin
and J2EE_HOME to C:\Program Files\j2eesdkblahblah\bin
and CLASSPATH to %J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar
As you may have noticed there is a space in the directory "Program Files" and this has been giving me a lotta problems. When i try to run any batch files it doesn't recognise the classpath...Same thing happens when i try to run javac with the -classpath option.
Even when i use full path names instead of env.variables it still has problems as it is assuming the latter part after the space(Files\j2ee..) and the one before the space(C:\Program) as two different paths....
How do i fix this? I have a work-around but, I would like to know how to fix this thing...

I guess that surrounding the path with quotes might help. You have windoze on your 'puter, haven't you. In case of Win2K, right click on "my computer", select "properties", select "special", and then "environment variables". There you may edit the PATH. I guess editing the classpath is also a must.
Or, alternatively, uninstall java, and reinstall it in the root directory, without having white spaces in the path. Makes your life much easier...

Help: reading environment variables?

Hi! I'm working with node.js in EB3 and am running into a little problem- I have a few environment variables that I want to use (set in .profile and already working in standalone applications). But if I try to read them using process.env.XYZ as usual, they turn up undefined. What am I missing?

Yes. Checking process.env shows any environment variables that are defined at runtime, as well as PATH, USER, SHELL, etc. Any that I've defined elsewhere don't show up, even if they are exposed as expected to other applications. I've tried exporting from .profile, .bashrc and .bash_profile so far with no changes. Thanks, though- hopefully I'll have an aha moment soon!
Found a solution via stackexchange: apparently some users have this problem with GUI applications on newer versions of OS X, and the workaround is to set variables in a terminal session and launch the application there. Which defeats the purpose in my case but hope it's useful to someone else!

Reading Environment Variable

Hi everybody
I'm trying to read an environment variable value, but I don't know how to do it.
Thanks.

Five possibilities:
-Don't use a env var for application values. Use a java property file instead.
-Use System.getenv() on versions before 1.3.
-Use the java command line option '-D' which makes the passed in value available via the system properties.
-Use Runtime.exec() to run a OS specific command that returns the value and parse it.
-Use JNI.

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 can I reading environment variables (user variables)

Hi,
I hope someone can halp me out:
In the software that I develop it is neccessary to read some user (environment) variables, such as the temp folder of the current user.
I know that I can read out some system variables like this:
String homePath = System.getProperty("user.home");
But how can I read out some other variables, especially the temp folder of the current user?
Thanks

I might have misunderstood you, but I am notlooking
for the PATH variable. I need the location of
the
temp folder of the current user. This should be
called TEMP or so, but this does not work.Can you deduce from the link he provided, to lookat
System.getenv(), and find the "TEMP" environment
variable in what it returns to you?That said, I believe the "temp" folder may be
provided in one of the normal System properties
anyway, so you probably don't need to go that route.
Print all your System.getProperties() values, and see
if it's in there.Yepp. os.io.temp or something.
