What is environment variable in iplanet

Hi,
There is no such thing called environment variables in iAS. If you
mean setting the system variables(like PATH etc), iAS sets them up
automatically while installation. It is only the classpath & path
variables which is required. Please let me know if this helps.

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?

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.
Demantra, OracleAS 10.1.3 and the E-Business Suite

(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.

How can I pass non HTTP_ prefixed environment variables to my CGI program in iPlanet 4.1

We have a need to pass some application specific environment variables (e.g: DB_URL) to CGI programs based on the request data. I am trying to solve it with NSAPI module registered at AuthTrans stage.
- Init directive in obj.conf won't help since it will set the environment for the entire server.
- pblock_nvinsert functions won't help since they prefix the variables with HTTP_. This is not acceptable for us.
- I am not clear if util_env_create would help if I don't want environment setting to effect the entire server.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What environment variable & DLL should be registed to publish application.

One of my friend supply me one software named "Oracle Database Lite Embedded SDK" instead of Branch Office exported from Oracle Lite, with the help of this and JVM ,i can access *.odb file directly, but i cant ' call Java trigger from my program, there will be one exception, though it's ok when i use the msql.exe tools. can anybody give some information about the register environment variable and DLL including the JVM Enviroment variable and Oracle Lite DLL, then i can register this information myself without installing Oracle Lite or Branch Office.

Actually I never tried to create an image for a different platform.
I always assumed it was possible.
The image creator for Windows is called Windows_ImageCreator.exe.
If it's not already there, you can try to locate the Windows download for your version and download the first part.
Usually it should be quite small, as it only contains the manifest of the ZIP files.
In that manifest try to locate Windows_ImageCreator.exe and download the ZIP file that contains it.
Copy the Windows_ImageCreator.exe to the directory where you have extracted the Linux Jar files and try to execute it on a Windows machine.
I did a small test and along the way you do get an option to create for Linux (and other platforms).
As I haven't downloaded the Linux Jar files, it asked me the location of those files.

X11 environment variables on MacBook Pro

Hi
I have just got my new MacBook Pro and have installed Gimp to run using x11 that came on the apple installation disks however I can't seem to get the xterm to configure correctly.
GIMP is installed under /sw/bin but the default PATH for x11 does not include this location so I added PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin to a newly created .bash_profile. But x11 did not seem to use this file although terminal worked OK.
After doing a bit of research, I then created a .bashrc file with the PATH defined and changed the .bash_profile to source .bashrc with no other entries.
Again this worked OK for Terminal but now when I type 'echo $Path' in an x11 xterm the PATH displays two entries for /sw/bin & /sw/sbin. i.e.
$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin
Any ideas why? and how can I correct it?
Macbook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Sorry this was a bit brief; I think I was still asleep when I typed it.
The reasons are these:
1. Many fink programs require environment variables and other settings. When you source that init.sh file, it ensures everything is set up to work out of the box. (Among the things it does is to in turn source every relevant file in /sw/etc/profile.d -- take a look in it to see what, if anything, is in there). There is also some code to keep your path trimmed properly, so you don't get repeats pasted on.
2. Bash is unique in that either .bashrc or .bash_profile, but not both, get sourced. In a rooted X11 environment, everything works properly, but on OS X, where X11 is "rootless," it leads to unexpected behavior like what you saw. As long as you put everything into one file and then tell the other one to source its contents, you should be ok.
You can also run X11 stuff from Apple's terminal, provided you somewhere in a startup file have something to set the DISPLAY variable, usually to .0.
I've put more discussion of these things here

How do you set NLS_LANG environment variable in report builder

How do you set up the reports builder environment to display foreign fonts.
So far what I read makes me think that in report builder I have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable .
If anyone has done this is that true and if so how.
Also the languages I want to use are the following.
Armenian
Cambodian
Chinese
Russian
Tagalog
Vietnamese
How do I find the NLS_LANG environment variables for these.
Where I am at now+
I have to set the DEVELOPER NLS LANG. I see the NLS LANG in the registry and I guess I have to add the DEVELOPER NLS LANG.
Now I am searching for syntax. If anyone knows the syntax for those languages please let me know and how do I set more than 1 at a time.

Hello Howard,
Check out the following link here you can find your desired NLS parameters.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
And about the NLS_LANG for developer why you want to create for developer. Its is already there in REGISTRY. Just seaching in developer registry you can find there.
how do I set more than 1 at a time.
You can set only one NLS_LANG parameter at a time.

How can I use environment variables in a controller?

Hi all,
How can I use environment variables in a controller?
I want to pass a fully qualified directory and file name to FileInputStream and would like to do it by resolving an env variable, such as $APPLTMP.
Is there a method somewhere that would resolve this??
By the way,Did anyone used the class of "oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.RemoteFile"?
The following is the code.
My EBS server is installed with 2 nodes(one for current,and other is for application and DB).I want to copy the current server's file to the application server's $APPLTMP directory. But the result of "mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("APPLTMP")" is current server's $APPLTMP directory.
Can anyone help me on this?
private String getURL()
throws IOException
File locC = null;
File remC = new File(mPath);
String lurl = null;
CpUtil lUtil = new CpUtil();
String exten;
Connection lConn = mCtx.getJDBCConnection();
ErrorStack lES = mCtx.getErrorStack();
LogFile lLF = mCtx.getLogFile();
String gwyuid = mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
String tmpDir = mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("APPLTMP");
String twoTask = mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
// create temp file
mLPath = lUtil.createTempFile("OF", exten, tmpDir);
lUtil.logTempFile(mLPath, mLNode, mCtx);
Thanks,

How do I clear environment variables in 10.6

I am having some difficulty in configuring custom paths with my environment variable, environment.plist. In setting up some of my software, I am trying to configure custom paths so that I can eventually store preferences on the server for all users to access the same tools. I had this working up until last week, when I installed a second piece of software, that modified my environment.plist file, which now doesn't work at all.
My original environment.plist file, which is located in ~/MacOSX, was as follows:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>NUKE_PATH</key>
    <string>/Users/jamesdavidson/Documents/Nuke_Gizmos/Nuke</string>
    <key>OFX_PLUGIN_PATH</key>
    <string>/Users/jamesdavidson/Documents/Nuke_Gizmos/OFX</string>
</dict>
</plist>
Which worked just fine. It was then changed to:
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>NUKE_PATH</key>
    <string>/Users/jamesdavidson/Documents/Nuke_Gizmos/Nuke</string>
    <key>OFX_PLUGIN_PATH</key>
    <string>/Users/jamesdavidson/Documents/Nuke_Gizmos/OFX</string>
    <key>PATH</key>
    <string>/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/libexec:/Applications/Deadline/Resou rces/bin</string>
</dict>
</plist>
and now, the only variable that shows up is PATH. I edited the file back to the original, without the PATH variable, restarted my machine, and yet my Variables did not change... Is there somewhere else that I should be looking? Some other file?   this is what I get from terminal:
$ echo $NUKE_PATH
$ echo $OFX_PLUGIN_PATH
$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Applications/Deadline /Resources/bin
And this even after deleting my environment.plist file. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James

I hope you made a typo in your post and meant ~/.MacOSX. You typed ~/MacOSX, i.e., without the leading dot.
At any rate $PATH is a predefined shell variable so I suspect you cannot define that one with this environment.plist mechanism. The "proper" way to set up such things is with a ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile, or IMO, best of all. ~/.bashrc. These are scripts the shell looks for during launch (somewhat depending on whether it's a login shell or not -- see the bash reference manual).
If bash is executed interactively it will also first look for /etc/profile. And it will cause a $PATH variable to be created. So that is probably the definition you are seeing all the time until you create an appropriate startup script of your own (e.g., ~/.bashrc) to override or modifiy the existing $PATH variable.
Note, I may have paraphrased a lttile too much so see section 6.2 Bash Startup Files in the bash reference documentation for the complete proper description of the order these files are used. If you have the developer tools installed look for bashref.html. Otherwise it's online here.
Finally, if you look at /etc/profile you will see it attempting to execute /usr/libexec/path_helper -s. Try that in terminal and see if that isn't the $PATH definition you are currently seeing.

Not able to get SSL related CGI Environment Variables?

We are currently using APEX 3.2.0.x, OHS 10.1.3.x, and 11gR1 on linux. The APEX application we've been developing will be accessed via SSL and x509 certificates such that a client certificate is passed from a user's browser to the OHS, the information will be read from the certificate, and if the user's cert information exists in a user table associated with the application, they will have the role they've been assigned as an existing user within the application. Otherwise, the user will be a guest and have a minimum role accessing the application.
We are certainly not guru's when it has come to setting up and configuring SSL and certs, but we have gotten to the point where we have all of the required certs created and installed, and the client cert passes it's information successfully to the OHS to get to the "home" page of the application via the Rewrite statement in the httpd.conf/ssl.conf that points to the appropriate https url. We are now at the point where we need the APEX application page to read the cert information, and this is where we are having problems.
We have created an "On Load - Before Header" process and temporary item on the "home" page to display CGI environment variables to see what we're getting. It's a PLSQL Anonymous block like this:
DECLARE
lUserName VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT NVL(owa_util.get_cgi_env('REMOTE_USER'),'NOT POPULATED') INTO lUserName FROM DUAL;
:P1_REMOTE_USERNAME := lUserName;
END;
We can grab any of the cgi environment variables that are listed in the OHS mod_plsql User's Guide. We cannot seem to be able to get any of the SSL CGI environment variables though. We are adding the SSL variables to the dads.conf via the PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList parameter (ex: PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN) and bouncing the OHS as needed. Unfortunately, we have not been successful in getting any of them to show up in the item on the APEX page.
As far as we can tell, we have the SSL/OHS/Certs configured, but may be there is another SSL directive or some other configuration item that we've missed that needs to be set in order for SSL CGI environment variables to be available to the owa_util.get_cgi_env function. If anyone can tell us what we may have missed, it would be appreciated.
thanks
bob

Hey John,
what we have found that we were not sure of is that we need to use Rewrite rules and conditions in the ssl.conf to grab the ssl cgi environment variables and "put" them into the request header to hold them like this:
RewriteCond %{SSL:SSL_SERVER_S_DN} (.*)
RewriteRule .* - [E=SSLS_DN:%1]
RequestHeader add X-SSL-SERVER-S-DN %{SSLS_DN}e
Then in the dads.conf put the request header reference in there with the plsqlcgienvironmentlist parameter like this:
PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList HTTP_X_SSL_SERVER_S_DN
Restart the OHS, and then grab the HTTP_X_SSL_SERVER_S_DN variable(s) via the owa_util.get_cgi_env in the APEX page to pull the value out with an anonymous block in an On Load - Before Header process like this:
DECLARE
lUserName VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT NVL(owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_X_SSL_SERVER_S_DN'),'NOTHING HERE') INTO lUserName FROM DUAL;
END;
It's the Rewrite rules and putting them into the request header that we were not totally sure about as far as how and where you put the environment variables to make them accessible to the dads.conf with the PlsqlCGIEnvironmentList parameter that in turn makes them accessible to APEX. We're still not 100% sure this is the correct method, but it's working. We don't recall reading in any of the APEX docs, APEX forum threads, or other documentation about needing Rewrite rules and conditions to put the cgi environment variables into the request header to make them accessible to APEX. So, that seems to be our missing piece of the puzzle here.
Anyway, I think we're okay for the moment, and may be this thread will help someone else out in the future. Thanks for your help John, and will give you a helpful plug on the forum for this thread. BTW, I do have your book, so it was nice to see someone as advanced with APEX as yourself reply to the posting.
Thanks
Bob
