WebForms - Accessing Environment Variable on a Windows Client

Hi. We access a Windows Environment Variable using Client-Server Forms 6i. We do this as follows:
Tool_Env.GetVar('ALLUSERSPROFILE', myPath);
message(myPath);This returns the value 'c:\documents and settings\all users' on Windows XP.
This returns the value 'c:\programdata' on Windows 7.
We'd like to keep similar logic in this form once it's migrated to Web Forms. Is there a way to access this 'allusersprofile' environment variable (or any environment variable to determine whether the user is XP or Win7) from a web form running our UNIX server? Maybe somehow using WebUtil or something?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

WebUtil enable your form then do this:
message (CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Environment_string('allusersprofile'));To get the Windows version, do this:
message(CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Windows_Version);.

Reading locale system properties like set-variables of a windows Client

Hello,
is there a possibility to read locale system properties like set-variables of a windows Client?
We want to read path-Info and user-info. Can I perhaps user javascript?
Best regards
Oliver Prodinger

Hi Oliver,
This code will work (assuming the client approves running of ActiveX)
<html>
<script>
var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var env = shell.Environment("process");
alert(env("COMPUTERNAME"));
alert(env("USERNAME"));
</script>
</html>
You can't really run it from WD, but what you can do is run this code from a portal component (DynPage/JspDynPage) that is running in the same page as your WD application and pass data by using portal eventing.
The portal component iview can have size of 1 pixel so it won't be seen...

Accessing environment variables in PL/SQL??

I have two oracle schemas; myenv1 and myenv2. They are both exact copies from each other except for the fact that one is my "developement" environment and the other my "production" environment.
So in each of them I have some packages with PL/SQL code.
I'd like to have an environment variable called PLATFORM (maybe not the best name) that should have the value "devel" in one schema and the value "prod" in the other schema. And I'd like to be able to access this variable in my PL/SQL code so I can slightly change some code or conditionate some code to the production environment only... or stuff like that.
Does anyone know how to do that? (where and how to configure the env. variable)
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks!

but I'm using the same 'current_user' in both schemas... is there other values I can get with sys_context ?? maybe there's one that would do it... but i think it's not 'current_user' It should be. Consider:
SQL> show user
USER is "SCOTT"
SQL> create or replace function show_user return varchar2
2 as
3 begin
4 return sys_context('userenv','current_user');
5 end show_user;
6 /
Function created.
SQL> select show_user from dual;
SHOW_USER
SCOTT
SQL> grant execute on show_user to test;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> connect test/test
Connected.
SQL> select scott.show_user from dual;
SHOW_USER
SCOTT

Environment Variables for Visual Basic Clients

How does one set the environment variables when writing clients in Visual Basic.
I would like the set the variables TUXDIR, WSNADDR etc at runtime, instead of
setting them in the Control Panel
Thanks

Hello,
I don't know too much about Visual Basic, but if you can bind to the Tuxedo C
functions from VB I'd suggest you simply call the tuxputenv() function a couple
of times to setup the environment for your process.
Hope this helps,

Accessing environment variables

Good morning,
I have an implementation of Oracle Application Server 10G using a Shibboleth Service Provider (SP) 2.1 for SSO authentication. The problem I am facing now is to accessing with APEX the environmental variables created by the SP. In my tests I used PHP and everything is working well. However with APEX I only have access to a very limited group of environment variables. Anybody have a suggestion or idea on how to solve this problem?
The variable I need is "Login".
Thank you very much.

Access environment variables

Hi,
          I'm running WebLogic 5.1 sp12 with an Apache 1.3.27 web server.
          Apache sets an environment variable ('REDIRECT_URL') upon occurence of
          a 40x error. How do I access such an environment variable from my jsp
          page? Thanks - Dave

How to access environment variables from pluggable destination?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a java puggable destination for reports. Everything is working fine.
I want to access reports environment variables from the java code (like REPORTS_PATH and other new variables that I want to create), but I can't find anything about this in the java API documentation.
I want to use environment variables instead of destination properties (those I can easily access), because I want to be able to change context using env_id.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Luis

How to access environment variables from Oracle Forms

Hi,
Any idea how to use the Environment variables from Oracle Forms.
My basic problem is that from Oracle form I am calling Batch file which calls excel file with a macro.
So i want to check whether the macro was successful or not.
So in my batch file i will set %errorlevel% which I should be able to read from Oracle Forms.
I am able to read the registry from oracle forms, so is there anyway to read environment variable as well?
Thanks!

No access on podcast share from Windows clients

Hello together!
I have the following scenatio at home:
* 1 Server with Windows 2008 R2 with logged in user and iTunes running (everything is shared)
* 1 Laptop with Windows 7 x64 & iTunes
* 1 Desktop with Windows 7 x86 & iTunes
* 1 Macbook with Mac OS X Leopard & iTunes
With this constellation I want to have access to my iTunes library located on the server from all other computer. With the MacBook this funktions without any problem to access everything (podcasts too).
On both Windows computer the directory pocasts is invisible. I can find the podcast files in the main directory but they are grey and the the playback does not start.
Is here anyone who had already the same problem and perhaps solved it? Thank you in advance for your replies.
P.S. Generally I can play the files by changing the kind of media to movie.

Oleg,
I had the exact same problem here - we have two XSERVE machines here running OSX 10.5.7 server, and we're accessing a samba share on these servers from Windows XP SP3 clients.
When moving a file, I noticed a message in /var/log/samba/log.smbd :
[2009/06/15 12:45:30, 0, pid=50709] /SourceCache/samba/samba-187.8/samba/source/modules/vfsdarwin_acls.c:fsp_setacl(126)
darwinacl: failed to set ACL on <filename>: Invalid argument
!#acl 1
I tried to look this up on google, but had no success.
Searching the file /etc/smb.conf for "acl" showed the following line:
vfs objects = darwinacl,darwin_streams
(Un)commenting this line (inserting a ";" in front of the first character) and restarting s,b solved the problem here - I'm now able to move files without having the permissions set to 0000, and the error in log.smbd doesn't appear any more.

Windows - PERL5LIB Environment variables

Hi All,
I was trying out xampp and I removed the perl5lib environment variables for Oracle. Unfortunately, I did not save the settings in notepad or something and yes, I know how stupid that was. Consequently, now all the clients are failing on that server. For example, if I click on SQL*Plus, I get the "Need to set ORACLE_HOME" error (same thing for PHP, etc.).
I would really appreciate it if someone can send me their PATH and PERL5LIB environment variables from a Windows (preferrably XP) installation of Oracle. Also, is there some other way to restore these values? Like a bat file or something that gets installed. Thanks a lot.

Hi. Thank you for your response. I tried rebooting, but I still get the error.
Like I said, the only change I made was to the environment variables. It is possible that xampp made some changes behind the scenes, but the only known change was me replacing the Oracle PERL paths with the xampp PERL paths in the Windows environment variables (through "My Computer" --> "Properties").
Is it possible to do a re-configuration using the installer instead of a complete re-install? If you have any other ideas, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Get environment variable from servelet

hello
in my servlet,there is following code block:
File f=new File("%JAVA_HOME%\\test.txt");
f.createNewFile();
the "JAVA_HOME" is the environment variable of my windows.after i deploy it to jboss,it threw exception.that tell me can't find the path.
then i modify it as:
File f=new File("%JBOSS_HOME%\\test.txt");
f.createNewFile();
the "JBOSS_HOME" is definde in its "run.bat " file.
the code still don't work.
who can tell me :
1 how can i use the environment variable of os or app server?
2 how and where can i set up a envrionment variable as the base dir ?
thank you.

This is a bad idea.
You shouldn't use absolute file paths or the java.io.File class for that matter in Web apps.
Better to look in the servlet context using getResourceAsStream(). That'll return an InputStream that you'll be able to read to your heart's content.

How do you get LOCAL_ADDR environment variable from weblogic?

How can you access environment variables, such as LOCAL_ADDR? The request object does not expose methods to get at all the environment variables? I need to know which NIC Card the request is coming off of, which the LOCAL_ADDR will tell me.

Some variables you can?t get this way.
I made shellscript that just looked like this.
set > /yourdir/yourfile.txt
Then in my class I did Runtime.exec(shellxcript);
then you just read in "/yourdir/yourfile.txt" as Resource and load it in
a Property object.
After that you can get variables to.
