Setting the environment variable

I just installed the rpm for the 1.4 SDK on my RedHat 7.1 box. Does anyone know how I can set the environment variable so it will recognize Java from the command line? Thanks in advance.

You need to set a couple of environment variables in your "profile" script. Which one, exactly, depends on the shell you use. It's probably .profile on your home directory.
Try
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java1.4 (or wherever it really is)
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export JAVA_HOME,PATH

How to set the Environment Variable

I'm going through a tutorial on how to create an application and run from the command prompt. I have finished installing my jdk 6 Upadate 5 but i don't know how to set the Environment Variable for the javac compiler and the java interpreter to find my program.
I have created an application called "ExampleProgram" and have saved it on drive C:. How do i set the Environment Variable so that the "javac" compiler and the "java" interpreter can find it

I Google and had several information on how set it, but i tried all of them and none seem to work.I typed "how to set environmental variable in winxp" in Google and the very first link provided all the information I needed (you need). These things will make much more sense if you go through it yourself rather than having someone else spoon-fed you the answer.

How to set the environment variable of csh

Hello expert,
I set the environment varibale of csh after I upgade the oracle 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.5. I added "setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/oracle/client/10x_64/instantclient" to profile ".dbenv_GVSHP101.csh" . But when I run env in my os , it showed LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sap/IDS/SYS/exe/run:/usr/sap/IDS/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64:/oracle/IDS/102_64/lib:/oracle/client/10x_64/instantclient:/oracle/client/10x_64/instantclient
. There are two :/oracle/client/10x_64/instantclient in my environment varibale. I do not why. How can I set the environment? Thanks a lot.

Hallo,
I don't know which O/S you are using and how your .dbenv-files looks.
However, as quick work around you could just add the following lines to the end of .dbenv_<hostname>.csh:
unsetenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/sap/IDS/SYS/exe/run:/usr/sap/IDS/SYS/exe/uc/linuxx86_64:/oracle/IDS/102_64/lib:/oracle/client/10x_64/instantclient

Why do we actuallya need the setting of environment variables?

Hello guys,
I read that, in order to connect to the database via SQL*Plus, we need to have the environment variables set. So, SQL*Plus is a command tool, which doesnt know over which path to connect to db, if the environment variables are not set?
How about the needs of setting environment variables at point of view of MS-DOS? I know that over MS-DOS we can check if the environment variables are already set or not. Or we can actively set the environment variables.
When should we actually set the environment variables? Before we run the GUI or after? I read, that if we set it before we run the GUI, then the setting will be taken over when it comes to that step by running GUI. I am curious, since this would be interesting to know, if we use other version than XE.
Thanks..

Oracle's flexibility ... many different versions working the same on many different versions of many different operating systems ... means that a single consistent installation and configuration methodology must work everywhere so as not to have the limitations of other competing products that work on only a single operating system or require that one learn a different syntax and methods for different versions.
Be grateful Oracle is as it is. Your competence in one version and operating system translates into competence in others.

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

How to set the header variables in weblogic

Hi,
We have a following set up in our environment.
We have weblogic and on the top of it we have apex listener deployed which redirects Oracle Apex.
My Issue:
How can we set up the header variables in weblogic once the user is authenticated against weblogic server.
We are struck here, not knowing how to set the header variables in weblogic server. Its fairly straight forward for Oracle Access Manager or others..
Thanks

Setting JAVA_HOME environment variable?

Sorry for such a trivial question, but in Windows 2000 Server with Microsoft Visual J++ 6 and the JRK 1.1.8, can somebody tell me what the environment variables should be so that I can use this jdk? If not can you tell me what your environment variable JAVA_HOME points to?
And one last question if it's not too much to ask. Can you tell me the NNTP server address for SUN so that I can go to the newsgroups in my News reader rather than over the web?
Thanks.
George Hester

Thanks. I have a problem though. I installed the jdk 1.1.8 because I heard that was the last one supported using Visual J++. Hence I have a C:\jdk1.1.8. This folder has no JRE subfolder so I am stuck at what you said the Classpath should contain as the path\folder you say it should be does not exist.
I have a folder C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.1 which has the lib folder containing rt.jar.
So as you can see I'm sort of in a quandry.
If I make JAVA_HOME as you say then it does not contain the JRE. If I make JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\JavaSoft so that your suggestion for Classpath is correct that folder does not contain the jrk and it seems that I will not be using it.
Any suggestions how to set this up so that it's right?

Set DISPLAY environment variable -- in DBCA not working at AIX OS

How to set the DISPLAY environment variable in AIX?Usual format is:
+<host>:<display-number>+
E.g.
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.235:1
Where the host is the hostname or IP address of the client platform running a X-Server. If the X-Server is running locally, then this entry can be omitted.
The display-number is the display number of the X-Server to use. A single X-Server can have multiple displays. E.g. Unix server running a X-Server can have 10 users connected via X-Terminals and will this have 10 displays.
Judging from X-Windows questions asked on OTN, it seems to be a tad complex to grasp for some - especially those from a MS Windows background as X-Windows is very different and also reverses the client-server concept, requiring the X-Server component to be running on the client platform (where the server platform runs the program that is the X-client).
So it is a lot easier to rather use something like VNC instead - supported on most Unix platforms, Linux, Windows and Apple's OS/X.
Simply run the VNC server on the server platform to create a virtual container for running the X-server display. Connect from a client using a VNC client.
As it uses the RFB (Remote Frame Buffer) protocol, it is a lot faster than running the slower and larger X11 protocol required for X-Windows connectivity over TCP/IP.

How to set the DISPLAY variable to run admsi.pl?

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to patch Oracle apps R12 using admsi.pl.
hostname: black
APPS db: VIS
But I keep getting the error:
Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
This is what I did:
VIS database and listener are already running.
login to the linux server as unix user: applmgr
cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/
. APPSVIS_black.env
cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/ad/12.0.0/bin/
admsi.pl
Invoking Oracle Patch Application Assistant....
Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
huh ?
set | grep -i "display"
DISPLAY=:0.0
set | wc
435 486 25235
I notice that there are 36 .env files!
For applmgr alone!!
find /oapps/applmgr/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
36 36 2626
For oracle, there are another 7 .env files!
find /oapps/oracle/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
7 7 513
Did I get the environment (env) file correct?
Or do I need to run a few more env first?
If so, which ones?
What would the order of operations be?
sqldeveloper has given me problems with Display sometimes.
But even sqldeveloper works fine.
What is the secret to get admsi.pl to run in the normal manner?
Thank a lot!

Thanks a lot, that worked! So the perl script was wrong.
In the meantime, I had done this, and it seemed to work:
admsi.pl -debug

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();

               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());

     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.

I want to set Jdeveloper environment variables

First,thanks for your answer.But I mean to set Jdevelop
environment variables.If I can't set right Jdeveloper
enironment,program can't pass the compile.Because "import
oracle.html.*" can't be found by Jdeveloper.

Hi
You would need to include jweb.jar file as a library in your
project properties.
jweb.jar comes with Oracle Application Server. Copy the jar file
to lib directory in JDeveloper and add it as a library to the
project.
This would make import oracle.html.* work.

Trouble Setting Windows Environment Variables

My environment:
Windows XP Professional
Intellij 6.0.4
JDK 1.4.
I am seeing some very weird behavior when I try to get/set Environment Variables in Windows XP. I use the following code to read the variables:
Process p = r.exec( "cmd.exe /c set" ); I create an environment varialbe through the Windows control panel, and it does not show up when I execute the above command. However, when I close my IDE and reopen it and run the same code, the variable appears. How is this possible? I am using the Windows XP cmd.exe in my program to read the variables. When I open a DOS window and type the same command, my variable is there.
This is driving me crazy.
i want my program to do some work, but then check a system variable to see if it should continue. I want a user to be able to stop processing by setting the environmen variable to true.
Thanks!

Runtime.exec has a lot of overloadings. Two of them
allows you to specify the environment variables.
exec
public Process exec(String[] cmdarray,
String[] envp,
File dir)
throws IOExceptionExecutes the specified command and
arguments in a separate process with the specified
environment and working directory.
cmdarray - array containing the command to call and
its arguments.
envp - array of strings, each element of which has
environment variable settings in format name=value.
dir - the working directory of the subprocess, or null
if the subprocess should inherit the working directory
of the current process.
I had this sample program:
public class SetVarExample {
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
     String[] cmd_env= new String[] {"password="+"ABCD","Path=C:\\Sun\\AppServer\\jdk\\bin"};
     String cmd = "cmd /c SET ";
     Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd,cmd_env);
System.out.println( "Finish ...." );
I tried it in a command prompt. But looks like when the program exits, it's a whole new process and so it does not retain the env variables set in the java program.
Any suggestions? Am I doing it worng?
thanks
