Query the value of the environment ORACLE_HOME

I have this problem where I have to call CTX_DDL.OPTIMIZE_INDEX and log the results using CTX_OUTPUT.START_LOG, and I have to tell the user where the log file is. The problem is that I don't know where the log file is being written to.
According to the documentation on START_LOG [1], the file is written to the value of the LOG_DIRECTORY, which I can get with the query:
SELECT PAR_VALUE FROM CTXSYS.CTX_PARAMETERS WHERE UPPER(PAR_NAME)=UPPER('LOG_DIRECTORY')
But this value is NULL in our case, so the log file is written to +%ORACLE_HOME%/ctx/log+. All well and good if you know what the value of %ORACLE_HOME% will be on the server. But I don't know. I would have liked a query such as
SELECT VAR_VALUE FROM V$ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES WHERE VAR_NAME='ORACLE_HOME'
But I can't find any table or view to query or any PL/SQL function that will give me this value. Does anyone know of a way to get this value?
This is Oracle 10g.2 running on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
Thanks.

But I can't find any table or view to query or any PL/SQL function that will give me this value. In some blogs, I've seen this done by calling the package DBMS_SYSTEM.
Unfortunately, it's an undocumented package so I would never use it in production code.
Can you derive the value somehow by querying v$parameter? Maybe background_dump_dest? Of course, this isn't guaranteed.

  • How to pass multiple query string values using the same parameter in Query String (URL) Filter Web Part

    Hi,
    I want to pass multiple query string values using the same parameter in Query String (URL) Filter Web Part like mentioned below:

    Hi DH, sorry for not being clear.
    It works when I create the connection from that web part that you want to be connected with the Query String Filter Web part. So let's say you created a web part page. Then you could connect a parameterized Excel Workbook to an Excel Web Access Web Part
    (or a Performance Point Dashboard etc.) and you insert it into your page and add
    a Query String Filter Web Part . Then you can connect them by editing the Query String Filter Web Part but also by editing the Excel Web Access Web Part. And only when I created from the latter it worked
    with multiple values for one parameter. If you have any more questions let me know. See you, Ingo

  • Creation of a Query to show the values for the current month and the last 12 months data.

    Dear All,
    Good day!
    I have to create a Query with the below requirement.
    I have to create a Query to show the values for the current month and the last 12 months data.
    Can you please guide me how to achieve this ??
    thank you,

    Hema
    explain the exact problem..? as you mentioned you want to create query to show values for current month and last 12 months.. so I think you want to show values for 12 months from current data.. you can achive this by multiple way..
    you can have selection screen and field with date .. and restrict based on system current date and 12 months before or you can handle this at your target.. .. I mean there are multiple ways to restrict data by date range..
    for some more hints..

    Hi all,
    There seems to be some unknown problem with the Report Template I have prepared and uploaded on PIA XML Publisher. When I run it with some ID set, it doesn't seem to show the values from the Data I give. For example if I have a field called ChartField in my report Template, It doesn't seem to get populated when I do SetID.
    Why is it so?

    How can i write the sql query for this operation , Thanks

    Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. You have no idea,
    do you? Temporal data should use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect. 
    This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. What did you try on your own before posting? I will bet that you did nothing! You expect other people to do your job or homework for you. 
    >> I want to subtract the value of the column in each row if the row is not enough then continue to next row. <<
    This makes no sense. Rows have no ordering; that is a spreadsheet. There is no such thing as a generic “id” in RDBMS. And an identifier is not a sequence which would have an ordering.

  • Displaying the current users information instead of the value of the person who completed the form in the first place.

    I found this fantatic post regarding querying the user profile service 
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx?pi47623=2#comments 
    However i have an issue whenever the form is opened again either to view or edit, it displays the current users information
    instead of the value of the person who completed the form in the first place.
    Please help me, I'm turning more grey each minute

    I think it is how the current user information is stored based on your logic.
    You might be quering current value again when loading the form (Form load Rule).
    you have to tweak your logic, after the user submits the form you can set the username to the one who saved it.
    or in form load, write a logic to see if the form was not saved before and then query the username( by using internal field like "formstatue")
    Hope this helps!

  • How to set the value of the column as the value of other table coulmn.

    dear friends
    i have a table SO_D having coulm (so_no,item_cd,qty,rate,unit)
    and anather table so_tax(so_no,tax_code,tax_percent,tax_amt,item_cd,flag)
    now i have ALL VALUES in the first table i.e so_d
    but in table so_tax i have all values except item_cd.
    the values in the so_tax table comes from so_d by the formula ((qty*rate)*percent(which in so_tax table))/100) corresponding to each item_cd
    here so_no and item_cd are primary key in so_d and foreign key in the so_tax.
    and for each so_no the item_Cd is unique and my repeat for new so_no in the table so_d.
    now i have the problem that in the table so_tax the value in the coulmn item_cd is blank .
    but the tax amount is calculated for each item_cd .
    now i want to update the table with the item_Cd values ad they are in the so_d table according to the tax amount calculated by using above formula.
    please suggest the solution..
    any query please ask
    i can provide values for the each table..
    thanks in advance

  • Why can't i detect the value of the first column ??

    I need to retreive a list of values from the database.
    But everytime i can only retreive the values from the second rows onwards.
    String sQuery = "SELECT * FROM XTABLE WHERE XGROUP = '" + sGroup + "'";
    resultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery (sQuery);
    while (rs.next())
    sValue = rs.getString (config.sRecpMobile);
    there is supposed to be three columns that matches the query but only two are returned.
    Can anyone help me ?
    Thank you in advance.

    1. right after String sQuery = "....."; use the
    System.out.println(sQuery);
    2. cut and paste the query string that was output to the console.
    3. paste it into SQL*Plus or whatever you database utility program is, and run it.
    4. These results won't lie.
    Probably...
    5. You will realize the error in your SQL. The query you are sending to the database is actually correct, but not what you thought. You will slap yourself in the face in disgust, fix the query and continue programming...and pretend it wasn't your fault! :>)

  • Manually input ( or type ) the value of the node in hierarchy

    Dear all,
    I have the following requirement :
    In the query, I am using a hierarchy node variable. Now, by default, on the selection screen the valued can be passed to this hierarchy node var. by a drill down on the hierarchy on which the variable is created and selecting one of the nodes.
    Now, I would like to manually input ( or type ) the value of the node instead of performing the drilldown on the hierarchy and selecting the node..
    It is this possible for a hierarchy node variable ?
    Thanks,
    Kenps

    Hi Carlos,
    You create a Variable with following selections
    Type of variable : Hierarchy node
    processing : Manual Input/Default value
    Reference Char : Mention the CHAR that contain this hierarchy
    Define it as SIngle value & Mandatory entry.user can see all the nodes in F4 help and selects the node as he wants
    Hope it helps

    A Java AWT, X11 problem posted in the weblogic ejb newsgroup. I haven't been in here for long, but
    that has to be a first.
    If you have the DISPLAY env variable set to :0.0, you have to be at the console on a Solaris box
    running the XServer. 'xdm' I think is the code that has to be running. Also, I think the format is
    <hostname:0.0> or better <hostname:0> unless you are on a multi-headed workstation. Something like:
    export DISPLAY=hostname:0
    where hostname is the name of the host running an XServer and the .xhosts file allows access to the
    XServer from the display client.
    Apparently, you are not at the console?
    Anyway, I don't think there is a newsgroup here that I could even recommend to cross-post this to as
    it is not a WebLogic question. I think I would try the Discussion Forums at http://java.sun.com.
