The os will create the necessary environment which you can use to create in the old profile.

Referencing a system environment variable

Hi all,
I am attempting to reference a system environment variable in an OS command within a package. However, it continues to error out with the generic "Wrong process return code" error. For now, I am assuming this is due to my reference to a system variable in the file path.
Note: when I'm directly on the ODI server and type in the exact same command into a command window, it works fine. It doesn't work when I call it from the generated scenario, via the Operator client on my computer.
Here is an example of my call line:
essmsh.exe %SysVarName%\somefile.mxl
Does anyone know how to reference the system environment variable correctly? Or...is there a better way to accomplish the same task?
Thanks!
-OS

Thank you for your response, Ankit!
Yes, essmsh.exe must be visible to the agent, because if I replace the reference to the system variables with hard-coded values, the scenario executes with no error.
I am not familiar with Jython procedures, and I am hesitant to create any as the there is no one on the team who can support them. Is there no direct reference one can use directly from the package/scenario? It seems odd that there is no current way to handle this, but perhaps I am naive.

Windows System Environment Variables in "Sql * plus"

Can i use/reference Windows System Environment variables in "Sql * plus"?
For example, i want to create sql-script to run in database server computer that asks variable "ORA_HOME" and uses this value to execute some sql/plsql sentences.

Business problem:
I have created 2 databases in my computer. Both databases needs tablespaces created by a script. Tablespaces' datafiles (.dbf files) names are same for both database. Both database has it's own directory where it holds datafiles at the moment. At the moment the datafiles for Database1 are in folder something like "%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf, and second database has its datafiles in other folder, somewhere ""%ORACLE_HOME%"\oradata\%databasename1%\*.dbf". I want now the script to create tablespace called "INDX" with same datafile name "indx1.dbf" into both database. So into both mentioned folder the file "indx1.dbf" must be created by script. I think the script should do following:
1. get ORACLE_HOME.
2. connect to database "databasename1"
3. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename1 || indx1.dbf"
4. connect to database "databasename2"
5. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "Create TableSpace INDX....file=%ORACLE_HOME% || databasename2 || indx1.dbf"I don't have Oracle database near by anymore, so the code was pseudocode.
I don't understand how to use ?-shortcut.OK, my first impression is "why does this even NEED to be scripted? Creation of new tablespaces is usually a one-off operation.
But that aside how about this sqlplus command-line substitution variables. This example is in linux, but will work as well in Windows with the change of the way environment variables are referenced:
*nix - echo $myvariable
Windows - echo %myvariable%
First, the sqlscript to create the TS. Note the use of the substitution variable "&1"

Unable to access value in System Environment Variable using Java

I am using Java code to get the value of a System Environment Variable using the Runtime, Process java classes.
The code works fine in tomcat, but when deployed in 9ias the code is unable to retrieve the value stored in the System environment variable in Windows 2000.

Thanks for the comment steve, here is the code which i am using.

Which Oracle folders into "PATH" system Environment Variable

Which Oracle folders must exist into "PATH" system Environment Variable in Windows OS?
The folders must contain Oracle command line utilities, like "sql * plus", "exp" and so on.

The path to your bin folder ...
for eg :
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin;Cheers :)

How to get system Environment variable?

How to get system Environment variable without using jni?
just like "JAVA_HOME" or "PATH"...
Any reply is help to me!! :-)

Thx for your reply...
I get it!!!
Read environment variables from an application
Start the JVM with the "-D" switch to pass properties to the application and read them with the System.getProperty() method. SET myvar=Hello world
SET myothervar=nothing
java -Dmyvar="%myvar%" -Dmyothervar="%myothervar%" myClass
then in myClass String myvar = System.getProperty("myvar");
String myothervar = System.getProperty("myothervar");
This is useful when using a JAVA program as a CGI.
(DOS bat file acting as a CGI) java -DREQUEST_METHOD="%REQUEST_METHOD%"
-DQUERY_STRING="%QUERY_STRING%"
javaCGI
If you don't know in advance, the name of the variable to be passed to the JVM, then there is no 100% Java way to retrieve them.
NOTE: JDK1.5 provides a way to achieve this, see this HowTo.
One approach (not the easiest one), is to use a JNI call to fetch the variables, see this HowTo.
A more low-tech way, is to launch the appropriate call to the operating system and capture the output. The following snippet puts all environment variables in a Properties class and display the value the TEMP variable. import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ReadEnv {
public static Properties getEnvVars() throws Throwable {
Process p = null;
Properties envVars = new Properties();
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
String OS = System.getProperty("os.name").toLowerCase();
// System.out.println(OS);
if (OS.indexOf("windows 9") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "command.com /c set" );
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1 )
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
// thanks to JuanFran for the xp fix!
p = r.exec( "cmd.exe /c set" );
else {
// our last hope, we assume Unix (thanks to H. Ware for the fix)
p = r.exec( "env" );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
( new InputStreamReader( p.getInputStream() ) );
String line;
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null ) {
int idx = line.indexOf( '=' );
String key = line.substring( 0, idx );
String value = line.substring( idx+1 );
envVars.setProperty( key, value );
// System.out.println( key + " = " + value );
return envVars;
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Properties p = ReadEnv.getEnvVars();
System.out.println("the current value of TEMP is : " +
p.getProperty("TEMP"));
catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Thanks to W.Rijnders for the W2K fix.
An update from Van Ly :
I found that, on Windows 2003 server, the property value for "os.name" is actually "windows 2003." So either that has to be added to the bunch of tests or just relax the comparison strings a bit: else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1 )
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2003") > -1 ) // works but is quite specific to 2003
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 20") > -1 ) // probably is better since no other OS would return "windows" anyway
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
I started with "windows 200" but thought "what the hell" and made it "windows 20" to lengthen its longivity. You could push it further and use "windows 2," I suppose. The only thing to watch out for is to not overlap with "windows 9."
On Windows, pre-JDK 1.2 JVM has trouble reading the Output stream directly from the SET command, it never returns. Here 2 ways to bypass this behaviour.
First, instead of calling directly the SET command, we use a BAT file, after the SET command we print a known string. Then, in Java, when we read this known string, we exit from loop. [env.bat]
@set
@echo **end
[java]
if (OS.indexOf("windows") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "env.bat" );
while( (line = br.readLine()) != null ) {
if (line.indexOf("**end")>-1) break;
int idx = line.indexOf( '=' );
String key = line.substring( 0, idx );
String value = line.substring( idx+1 );
hash.put( key, value );
System.out.println( key + " = " + value );
The other solution is to send the result of the SET command to file and then read the file from Java. ...
if (OS.indexOf("windows 9") > -1) {
p = r.exec( "command.com /c set > envvar.txt" );
else if ( (OS.indexOf("nt") > -1)
|| (OS.indexOf("windows 2000") > -1
|| (OS.indexOf("windows xp") > -1) ) {
// thanks to JuanFran for the xp fix!
p = r.exec( "cmd.exe /c set > envvar.txt" );
// then read back the file
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(new FileInputStream("envvar.txt"));
Thanks to JP Daviau
// UNIX
public Properties getEnvironment() throws java.io.IOException {
Properties env = new Properties();
env.load(Runtime.getRuntime().exec("env").getInputStream());
return env;
Properties env = getEnvironment();
String myEnvVar = env.get("MYENV_VAR");
To read only one variable : // NT version , adaptation for other OS is left as an exercise...
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c echo %MYVAR%");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader
( new InputStreamReader( p.getInputStream() ) );
String myvar = br.readLine();
System.out.println(myvar);
Java's System properties contains some useful informations about the environment, for example, the TEMP and PATH environment variables (on Windows). public class ShowSome {
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("TEMP : " + System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"));
System.out.println("PATH : " + System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
System.out.println("CLASSPATH : " + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
System.out.println("SYSTEM DIR : " +
System.getProperty("user.home")); // ex. c:\windows on Win9x system
System.out.println("CURRENT DIR: " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
Here some tips from H. Ware about the PATH on different OS.
PATH is not quite the same as library path. In unixes, they are completely different---the libraries typically have their own directories. System.out.println("the current value of PATH is: {" +
p.getProperty("PATH")+"}");
System.out.println("LIBPATH: {" +
System.getProperty("java.library.path")+"}");
gives the current value of PATH is:
{/home/hware/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:
/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/home/hware/linux-bin:/usr/openwin/bin/:/usr/games/:

Reading Operationg System Environment Variables

How can i read Operating System environment variables for examples in Windows without using java -D option
just to simply get the value from windows enviroment variables settings... such as "MyApp"
is there a way i can get the value using java???
need something that is backward compatible ... like between jdk version 1.2.2 to 1.3.1???
help...

Thanks in Advance,

Some ugly hack like using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("echo %wasteoftime%") and examining its output might work.

Setting persitent system environment variables using java program

hai,
Iam tryng to write installation for an application,which require to set some persistent system environment variables using java program. I have tried using set command Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c set blah blah "),but this applies only to that particular DOS promt only,i presume.And this is not perisistent.please do help.
Biju

The solution I proposed worked only on Windows XP/2003.
The following solution will work on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 with JDK 1.2+.
1- Download the [url http://www.gjt.org/download/time/java/jnireg/registry-3.1.3.zip]JNIRegistry zipped archive.
2- Open the registry-3.1.3.zip file and extract in the folder of your choice ( Eg. c:\setenv ) only the 2 first files (when sorted by path): ICE_JNIRegistry.dll and registry.jar.
You don't need to keep the folder tree in the extraction.
3- Create the following SetEnv.java file in the same folder ( Eg. c:\setenv ).
import com.ice.jni.registry.Registry;
import com.ice.jni.registry.RegistryKey;
import com.ice.jni.registry.RegStringValue;
import com.ice.jni.registry.RegistryValue;
public class SetEnv
    static final String REG_HKLM_SUBKEY_NAME = "SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment";
    public static void main(String[] args)
    throws Exception
        new SetEnv().exec(args);
    void exec(String[] args)
    throws Exception
        if (args.length != 2)
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("\n\nUsage: java SetEnv {varName} {varValue}\n\n");
        String varName = args[0];
        String varValue = args[1];
        RegistryKey key = null;
        RegStringValue value;
        try
            key = Registry.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.openSubKey(REG_HKLM_SUBKEY_NAME, RegistryKey.ACCESS_ALL);
            value = new RegStringValue(key, varName, RegistryValue.REG_EXPAND_SZ);
            value.setData(varValue);
            key.setValue(value);
            key.flushKey();
        finally
            try { key.closeKey(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
}4- Compile it.
javac -classpath .;registry.jar SetEnv.java
5- Run it. varName and varValue are strings of your choice.
java -classpath .;registry.jar -Djava.library.path=. SetEnv varName varValue

Backing Up System Environment Variables

How do I backup system variables on a Windows machine? Are HYPERION_HOME and EPM_ORACLE_HOME system variables the same?

If this is windows then I find the best way is to either backup the registry or part of the registry, environment variables are stored in the registry at :-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
So if you go to start > run > regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment > right click export, it will save it out to a registry file.
The registry can also be exported from command line , for example go to a command prompt and type
REG EXPORT /?

Do I need to set system env variables for weblogic and SOA server installation?

Hi All,
   I already have two weblogic application servers on my machine(that were installed by others).
I observed some environment variables were also set in System variables(ORACLE_HOME,WEB_SERVER_HOME etc) section in Env variables section(Start Menu---> Computer --> properties ---).But why do we need to have system environment variables wherein we already have those variables in files like setDomainEnv.bat or/and setSOADoaminEnv.bat for each server.
And one more thing system variables will be applicable for all servers(the whole machine) right.It may spoil the installation of new servers and present servers as variables should be unique to each server.
    I want to install weblogic and SOA server installation.
So Can I remove the existing system variables(as they will applicable for every server) and install weblogic and SOA server installation without setting up the environment variables?
Especially I have multiple Weblogic servers,In that case how it would be to have environment variables(JAVA_HOME,WL_HOME,ORACLE_HOME etc)?
Please guide me on this to installl SOA suite .
Thanks in advance

Best practice for setting an environment variable used during NW AS startup

We have installed some code which is running in both the ABAP and JAVA environment, and some functionality of this code is determined by the setting of operating system environment variables. We have therefore changed the .sapenv_<host>.csh and .sapenv_<host>.sh scripts found in the <sid>adm user home directory. This works, but we are wondering what happens when SAP is upgraded, and if these custom shell script changes to the .sh and .csh scripts will be overwritten during such an upgrade. Is there a better way to set environment variables so they can be used by the SAP server software when it has been started from <sid>adm user ?

Hi,
Thankyou. I was concerned that if I did that there might be a case where the .profile is not used, e.g. when a non-interactive process is started I was not sure if .profile is used.
What do you mean with non-interactive?
If you login to your machine as sidadm the profile is invoked using one of the files you meant. So when you start your Engine the Environment is property set. If another process is spawned or forked from a running process it inherits / uses the same Environment.
Also, on one of my servers I have a .profile a .login and also a .cshrc file. Do I need to update all of these ?
the .profile is used by bash and ksh
The .cshrc is used by csh and it is included via source on every Shell Startup if not invoked with the -f Flag
the .login is also used by csh and it is included via source from the .cshrc
So if you want to support all shells you should update the .profile (bash and ksh) and one of .cshrc or .login for csh or tcsh
In my /etc/passwd the <sid>adm user is configured with /bin/csh shell, so I think this means my .cshrc will be used and not the .profile ? Is this correct ?
Yes correct, as described above!
Hope this helps
Cheers

Setting environment variables remotely doesn't work for Windows 7

Hi,
$RemoteMachineList = 'machA', 'machB'
$session = New-PSSession $RemoteMachineList
Invoke-Command -Session $session {[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Role",0,"Machine")}
The above is the code snippet which I've tried for setting a machine level environment variable. After executing this code in a collection of XP and Windows 7 machines, when I go and check the advanced settings->system environment variables, I can see
the new entry "Role" in all the machines. But unfortunately, this env variables actually gets set only in XP machines(I did a set command from a cmd prompt/or an echo command) whereas in Windows 7 machines, this doesn't exists even though it
shows up in the advanced settings->system environment variables.
Tried in several machines, only Windows XP is yielding the required result.
Please help.
Thanks in advance !

Thanks Chen, but still the same result.
I'll narrow down the scenario(actually two scenarios) as per the way it's behaving on Windows 7 machines.
Case - 1
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. Again open up advanced settings -> system env variables window. Click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
5. Now open up a command prompt window and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Case 2:
1. I do a SetEnvironmentVariable remotely.
2. I go to that remote machine and search in advanced settings -> system env variables window. Dont click on the OK Button. Close these windows.
Result: Yes it is there as an entry.
3. I open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: No it is not set.
4. I do a system restart.
5. Open up a command prompt and type 'set'
Result: It is set now
Any idea why this is behaving like this(more or less like setting a user level env variable), please ? I've to some way get through this obstacle to advance further. Thanks a lot for the support

Environment variables of Winnt winxp

I wanna set Environment variables of Winnt or winxp thro' Java

Actually, if you can get access to the registry, you can view/set the user's environment variables at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
and the system environment variables at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Evironment
Note that this is specific to Windows NT 4.0, there's no guarantee that they will be in the same location on other flavours of Windows. Note further that this will certainly work only on Windows machines... there is (AFAIK) no standard way to set environment variables for Linux, BSD or Solaris systems.
For the particularly brave (or stupid, or both :-), there is a beta(/alpha) registry interface for Java

Demantra DP 7.1.1/11.5.10 with OAS 10.1.3 environment variable settings

I was wondering of anyone out there is using Demantra Demand Planning with Oracle Applications Server 10.1.3 on 11.5.10.2 that is not on a Windows Platform, and what the environment variables set in opmn.xml are referring to; 9i/10g client on the Windows client host or 9i/10g client on the linux middle tier server.

(a) Set environment variables
In some cases, Oracle Application Server environment variables do not correspond to the default system environment variables. You must explicitly set some variables in the Oracle Application Server process in order for Oracle Demantra workflows to operate properly.
Open Oracle Application Server file opmn\conf\opmn.xml. Go to the section <ias-component id="OC4J"> and add a section <environment> within it, for example:
<ias-component id="OC4J">
<environment>
<variable id="<variablename>" value="<path>"/>
</environment>
<process-type id="home" ...
<variablename>'s are PATH, ORACLE_HOME, and ORA_NLS33. Add one <variable> line for each.
<path> is the system path plus the Oracle database client path.
Contact Oracle Demantra support if you need further assistance.
Here is an example <environment> section with the variables set.
<environment>
<variable id="PATH" value=
"C:\OracleiAS\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\opmn\bin;C:\OracleiAS\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\opmn\l
ib;C:\OracleiAS\10.1.3\OracleAS_1\bin;C:\oracle\ora92\bin;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\sy
stem32"/>
<variable id="ORACLE_HOME" value=
"C:\oracle\ora92"/>
<variable id="ORA_NLS33" value=
"C:\Oracle\ora92\ocommon\nls\admin\data"/>
</environment>
<process-type id="home" ...
Thanks.

Hello,
Boy, Am i glad that there is a demantra forum here.
We are getting ready to install and implement demantra to replace our current ODP system. Our current EBS architecture consists of a source 11.5.10.2 ERP instance on ATG.RUP.5 (3 node on sun servers with solaris 10) and also a planning (ASCP, 1 node sun server with solaris 10 ) instance with the same patch levels on seperate servers (distributed architecture). The current ODP is on our planning instance and will be replaced by Demantra eventually.
For demantra because of our load levels and also for performance reasons, we are thinking of the following configuration.
1 Server for 10g DB on Linux RHAS 4 (8cpu, 8gb ram)
2 apps servers on 10g IAS on Linux RHAS 4 (4cpu, 4gb ram)
Citrix cluster - 3 windows 2003 servers for analytical engine
users desktops - DM administrative tool ?
I am not at all clear on the installation document. Can one of you please please help me out on how to go about this install. My plan is to first install the 10g database, then the 10g apps servers. After that I am not clear.
Are there seperate CD's for demantra install or can i download the installation, do i start the install on the DB server ? how do i hook it up to the apps servers ?
is there a seperate installation cd for the analytical engine ?
How do i hook up all of this to our planning instance ?
Are there any patches that need to be applied to our source ERP , planning instance for this ?
Do all the source, ASCP instances also need to be upgraded to 10g ?
If you have a complete installation document with the sequence of steps and can share with me, then that would really help.
Thanks.

App-V 5 package ignores environment variable included in virtual registry

Hey all,
I'm experiencing following problem with one of my virtual packages - it keeps ignoring system environment variable included in virtual registry.
During sequencing, i've added system variable on the machine, sequencer picked it up and included in virtual registry. Variable is stored in following key (key set to merge):
Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Enviroment\MyVariable
When i install the application (with msi, packaged fully cached on the client) and i run the application, it fails with error.
Going into virtual environment of the package with cmd.exe /appvpid:<pid of application> and checking
SET command, i see that variable is stored, recognized and returned correctly:
MyVariable=C:\ProgramData\App-V\5550C766-44C0-4E75-95F9-961EFDC04B8E\158980CE-20C3-4D2B-9763-B06616BF71D0\Root\BIN
Where C:\ProgramData\App-V\5550C766-44C0(..) is local cache copy of the application.
There is a kind of workaround - application works properly when i set the variable in client's environment variables.
It looks like App-V package completely ignores the variable from virtual registry as adding identical one to the client machine allows the application to run just fine.
Has anyone similar experienced with their applications and would be able to point me in some directions where to look for the issue?
Thanks,
Marek

All,
Sorry for the spam on this thread, here is the workaround (I use AD groups). I configured this in the UserConfig.xml (remember to re-import via management console if used).
The first shortcut called BMC Atrium Integrator Spoon.lnk is the default from sequencing, it does work via the sequencing machine and also launches from command prompt within the app-v environment, but does
not work via the Windows startmenu.
The second shortcut called BMC Atrium Integrator Spoon Test.lnk
uses cmd.exe to fire off the spoon.bat (argument), this link works great native from the Windows Start-menu.
