Shell environment variables and apple apps

Hi Does anyone know how to pass environmental variables to apple applications. For example I have an an app that will automatically execute a shell script on receipt of certain downloads but that script calls another script that has some embedded functions. The scripts all work from command line since I have all my paths and EVs defined in my .tchsrc but the app isn't run from the same shell.
Any clues as to a work around.
thanks
Anna

Nitin,
What kind of environment variables? Could you provide some more details. All Application Server settings are done via the EM Website.
Also, if this is a J2EE question, please post it on the J2EE forum.

HT3964 power outage seems to have upset macbook pro....says security certificates aren't valid for sites like facebook, google, and apple app site...cannot connect to app store to update

Ice storm -power outage...Macbook Pro wouldn't charge....finally got it to work by holding down the power button but now it says the security certificates aren't valid on sites like facebook, google, and apple app store...cannot update software...any suggestions?

Hi k,
I don't know if it's the same in your OS, but in 10.6.8:
Go to Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access > Keychain Access menu > Keychain First Aid > enter your password > click on Verify > click on Start. If you get a message saying something needs to be repaired, click on Repair > Start and wait for it to finish.

Unix shell: Environment variable works for file system but not for ASM path

We would like to switch from file system to ASM for data files of Oracle tablespaces. For the path of the data files, we have so far used environment variables, e.g.,
CREATE TABLESPACE BMA DATAFILE '${ORACLE_DB_DATA}/bma.dbf' SIZE 2M AUTOEXTEND ON;
This works just fine (from shell scripts, PL/SQL packages, etc.) if ORACLE_DB_DATA denotes a file system path, such as "/home/oracle", but doesn’t work if the environment variable denotes an ASM path like "\+DATA/rac/datafile". I assume that it has something to do with "+" being a special character in the shell. However, escaping "\+" didn’t work. I tried with both bash and ksh.
Oracle managed files (e.g., set DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST to +DATA/rac/datafile) would be an option. However, this would require changing quite a few scripts and programs. Therefore, I am looking for a solution with the environment variable. Any suggestions?
The example below is on a RAC Attack system (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/RAC_Attack_-OracleCluster_Database_at_Home). I get the same issues on Solaris/AIX/HP-UX on 11.2.0.3 also.
Thanks,
Martin

My revised understanding is that it is not a shell issue with replacing +, but an Oracle problem. It appears that Oracle first checks whether the path starts with a "+" or not. If it does not (file system), it performs the normal environment variable resolution. If it does start with a "+" (ASM case), Oracle does not perform environment variable resolution. Escaping, such as "\+" instead of "+" doesn't work either.
To be more specific regarding my use case: I need the substitution to work from SQL*Plus scripts started with @script, PL/SQL packages with execute immediate, and optionally entered interactively in SQL*Plus.
Thanks,
Martin

u need display in order to have a graphical env with font, raster and all this information is taken from the ip address to which u have set the DISPLAY
Also make sure xwindows is running. U can check whether DISPLAY has been configured properly by running xclock

Simple question about environment variables and setting the class path???

ok I have been trying for a few months now ontrying to set the class path..
I work with windows vista..
on the environment variables user variables,
I have the name of the variable as class
and the value as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;.
where javac is...
on the system variables I have
its name as class
and the value as C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin;.
why is this not reading javac

The PATH environment variable should have as an entry the directory containing your javac executable. The CLASSPATH should have have entries which define your library directories and entries which are your jar file libraries. In the early days, probably the only CLATHPATH entry you will need will be a '.' to indicate the current directory.
The Java tutorial covers ALL of this.

[SOLVED] bash - diff btwn 'normal' environment variables and VAR=x cmd

I always assumed variables passed like this:
VAR=value cmd
are passed to the program in the same way as environment variables. However; this is not the case; who can explain this?
$ svn commit
svn: E205007: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E205007: Could not use external editor to fetch log message; consider setting the $SVN_EDITOR environment variable or using the --message (-m) or --file (-F) options
svn: E205007: None of the environment variables SVN_EDITOR, VISUAL or EDITOR are set, and no 'editor-cmd' run-time configuration option was found
$ VISUAL=$VISUAL svn commit

I'm curious too. I could at least *speculate* on how it could go wrong the other way around: if the envoked process spawns a new process that inherits a more general environment than the parent's, the first could work and the second could fail - but these results indeed should not happen.
Test code as evidence that the variables are passed in the same way:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env) {
char **envp;
for (envp = env; envp && *envp; envp++) printf("%s\n", *envp);
return 0;
Basically this is a very basic `env'. It shows all environment variables known to the process. No matter how they are set, they are all placed in env.
NOTE: most programs will use getenv() rather than the extra parameter to main(), but this is meant to test what is passed where.

Accessing shell environment variables inside OMBPlus script

Hi,
I have a problem accessing an environment variable inside OMBPlus script. I can 'see' the env. var values when using tclsh, but when I use OMBPlus.sh it doesn't work?
Anybody has an example of how to do this?
For example: puts $::env(MYVAR)
Thanks,
Ed

Hello!
Issue the command:
puts [array names env];
this will print you the content of the env array which is definitely not the environment variables.
If you want your environment variable appear in the env tcl variable then you must edit the ombplus.bat file and pass it through a java option like this:
-DMYENV="%MYENV%" (on windows assuming you declared MYENV).
Now puts $env(MYENV) will work.
Regards,
Robert

How to set environment variables in JavaCAPS6 app server?

In JavaCAPS6 you can have variables in wsdls of the form {$var}.
How are the values of these set in the app server configuration?
Rupert

Hi,
You can set the environmet variable in Weblogic by using the below commands
setWLSEnv.cmd/sh ==>Set the CLASSPATH to include the WebLogic Server classes.
Overview of WebLogic Server Domains
or you can use to set the Environment variable along with domain specific varables using the SetDomainEnv.cmd
To run SetDomainEnv.sh in Linux please use
. ./setDomainEnv.sh it require two dots (Dont miss it )

Hope it helps

Environment variable comes off App Server, oh well.

I just tried an environment variable from a different machine and it reads it off of the Application Server machine, so I won't be using that method. Maybe I can't avoid WebUtil after all. Do you know if the jacobBin_17.zip file is required for what I want to do? Or can I leave it out as I won't need OLE? They should change that name, jacobBin is too much like jacobian and brings back bad memories from calculus.

They should change that name, jacobBin is too much like jacobian and brings back bad memories from calculus. Well, Jacobin makes me think of eigtheenth century French politics. I really ought to renew my membership of the Must Get Out More Club.

What are environment variables and how are they employed?

i know that they are specified in the EJB's deployment descriptor but Im a little confused...
Is it is asant (compiler) an environment variable?

I bought my software pack iWork 2008 at the apple retail store and I cannot get any updates and apple App Store won't help me. Does any one know how I can get the upgrade without paying full price for a second time? I paid $99 for the iWork family pcan'

I cannot believe that apple is refusing to help a customer who bought and paid for iWork software just because I bought it from the retail store the App Store says they cannot allow me to upgrade. I have never heard of such. It should to matter where I got it i bought apples software and I don't et how the retail store can be different frothe App Store my god its all still apple. So stupid. I will not pay full price for the upgrade. Also I purchased Logic Studio and 2 days later the upgrade came out and they will not let u upgrade ? I think there should be at Least a 30-45 day window if u purchase software and they release the upgrade u should get not. It's not like apple doesn't make enough money already.

iWork '08 & 09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. Those installations will not be recognized as installed by the Mac App Store. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '08 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08. If it doesn't have the '08 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
If you are running Pages 3.0.3, then you do have the latest version of Pages from iWork '08. If you want to upgrade to iWork '09, you will need to purchase the new version, just like everyone else. The good news is that you can buy just the individual iWork apps - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - that you need or want for $20 US each from the Mac App Store & then install them on as many Macs as you need using the same Apple ID.

HT204053 how can i use iTune and Apple apps to doenload applications without using credit card or gift cards?

Hi Team,
I have brought new iPhone, and was trying to install Skype & other applications. while using itune its asking for review, and then in registration page asking for
"Credit card' details..
help me to know the way without credit cards or gift cards.

If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

Open Android Market and Apple App Store from AIR Mobile App

I have two versions of my app, one is free and one is paid. I want to show links to paid version in the free version of the application. I want to open the link to the paid app directly in the market or app store. How can I do that?

Here is what I had used on a lite version of one of my apps, when you click that it opens the native app store app and links right to the app you want to sell to the users.
function fl_getFullVersion(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pop-goes-the-bubble/id452505669?mt=8"), "_blank");
So swap your app name and id and thats your link for itunes.

Re: After installing Yosemite, safari doesn't work any more.in response to Koenfromdudzele
I have found a temporary solution that works until reboot.
Open a Terminal window and type:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
-type password-
then:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
Dont know how to link him. But this worked fine. Guess it was missing this plist
