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 :)

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"

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.

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

How to load a class , which isn't in the classpath environment variable.

Hi, you folks.
I have one problem. I want to load a class, which isn't in the classpath
environment variable and I don't want to put into classpath. which method
JVM can use to load it?
Waitting for your sage advice.

You will have to write your own ClassLoader, or use something like URLClassLoader (I've never used this myself, but I've seen it mentioned elsewhere in this forum). Look here.

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.

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:

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.

Library paths and environment variables

Hello,
I am using 10g AS 9.0.4 on a Unix system.
I am trying to convert an old JSP web application to work with 10g. It is not an EAR/WAR file so I am manually trying to set it up under the "default-web-app" folder. It uses a number of java class files which currently reside in $J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/classes/mystuff.
These class files require access to a number of libraries. I foolishly believed that they would be accessible if I were to place them in the $J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib folder, but that did not work.
I read that OC4J uses a "catch all" lib directory at $J2EE_HOME/applib. I copied the library files there and they still did not work.
Frustrated, I tried to print out the environment variables for the server - only to find that this function is not supported.
I managed to print out the library path by creating a Java class files which returns the following as a string:
System.getProperty("java.library.path");
This (when called from a JSP) prints a number of different library paths, none of which match those found listed in the $J2EE_HOME/config/application.xml file. I placed the library files in one of the paths listed by the "java.library.path" and it worked!
3 questions:
1. How do you print the server's environment variables using a JSP? This strikes me as a very useful function for sorting out library and path issues. Do a search on Google for "print environment variables OC4J" or something similar and there are no useful pages suggesting how this can be done.
2. Why are the default library paths different on the server than to those specified in application.xml?
3. How do I change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or any environment variable for that matter)? I have tried adding the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties without success:
wrapper.env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/custom/library/path
Any help you can offer would be most appreciated.

>
Thanks very much for a such a comprehensive response
- it has helped answer a lot of questions, especially
being able to print out the system properties. That
will be really useful!
No worries at all Rob.
The main hurdle is that the libraries are indeed
native (*.so) libraries. I hadn't considered that
until you pointed it out in your message. Can I
assume, then, that $J2EE_HOME/applib and
$J2EE_HOME/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib are only
designed to handle Java's .JAR librares? That would
explain why placing the native libraries in there
didn't work, but is there a way of getting such
native libraries recognised and bundled up in a
WAR/EAR file?
Yep, that's it.
Our proprietary applib and the servlet specs web-inf/lib are only dealing with Java archives.
The J2EE specs don't cover how to deal with native libs like this.
Now I've NEVER EVER tried it, but it's worth a shot of at least trying -- for simplified packaging purposes, what you may be able to do is to distribute the .so's within the web-inf/lib -- and then just set that directory (where's its realized on the server after the app is deployed) to be referenced witihn the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I'd expect our deployment manager will just ignore files it doesn't know about, so arguably you should be able to at least distribute them with the standard archive.
You'll need to specifically set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as a separate task outside of the deployment operation though.

This is where things get a bit weird, and is partly
my fault during the installation of 10g AS.
We already had an existing installation of Oracle 10g
Database (10.1.0) at $ORACLE_HOME under the user
"oracle". I logged in as the user "oracle" to install
the Application Server into a different location (In
this case, "$ORACLE_HOME/../ias10g_9.0.4" - let's
call this $IAS_HOME). So there is no separate user
account for Oracle Database and Application Server
(and hence no separate $LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
If I log into UNIX as the user "oracle" and echo the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I get the following directories:
$ORACLE_HOME/lib
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin
/usr/dt/lib
/usr/lib
I use this user to do "opmnctl stopall" and "opmnctl
startall". If I then print out the library path from
a JSP using
"System.getProperty("java.library.path");", I get the
following paths:
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc/server
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/../lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/opmn/lib
$IAS_HOME/lib
$IAS_HOME/usr/lib
Which is totally different to those listed by
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the command line, which means
they must be coming from somewhere else.
It gets worse - my application is trying to call a
native library that is only present in the
$ORACLE_HOME/lib32 directory (libclntsh.so.10.1), so
unless I can include this path in the
"java.library.path" on the Applicaiton Server, then
my program will not work.
So, how do I change the "java.library.path" when the
values aren't coming from $LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the
first place?
The utility $IAS_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl is actually a shell script.
It has this section which sets the LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
if [ -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]
then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
else LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} ; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi
So if you have an existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var set, it should just be putting its paths onto the front of it.
What you could try as a quick test is to edit the opmnctl script (after taking a backup of course) and either appending the path you need to it, or just add some debug statements to output the LD_LIBRARY_PATH value it ends up setting so you can try and work out what's causing it.
I expect these other entries:
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc/server
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/lib/sparc
$IAS_HOME/jdk/jre/../lib/sparc
are coming from the JRE when it is launched, in probably a similar manner to our opmn entries.
I really appreciate your help, and I bet if anyone
can answer these questions, you can! ;-)
You're very welcome.

Deploying Oracle Worklist into a Separate Environment

Hi Experts
I am trying to deploy the Oracle Worklist application into the oc4j container in my local machine, which doesn't have a SOA environment.
Is this possible? I tried to deploy the worklist app into a different container of the application server which has got the SOA environment
and it didin't work.
Expecting your ideas.
Thanks
Jamith

Thanks for your responses guys, however I am now more confused as Torsten and Ravinder are saying its OK and Garth says its not OK. Can anyone validate this please. Thanks a ton.
The real answer is that you are going to have to trying it for yourself. I don't recommend doing it based on previous experience.
Just think about it for a monument. What happens when your server team doesn't upgrade to CM12 Sp2 but the WS team does? How exactly will this affect your MP?

Complete checklist for oracle 11.2.0.4 environment variables on AIX 6

Hi,
Can anyone give me the Doc ID for complete checklist for oracle environment variable 11.2.0.4 on IBM AIX 6 platform (64 bit).
Because we get the following from IBM website, we wonder if any other oracle variable need to make a change, or will impact upgrade correctly on AIX.
“AIX 5.1 uses an environment variable LIBPATH when loading shared libraries. AIX 5.3 uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH
instead. For backward compatibility, AIX5.3 still uses LIBPATH if it is defined.”
URL: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1015835
So we can actually define both -
LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; export LIBPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:/lib:/usr/lib; /usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
there are less companies use AIX to run oracle database than those use Unix/Linux; we are planning upgrade oracle database 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4 on IBM AIX (64bit) os level 6, so we need to double-confirm this. FYI.
thank you very much!

Hi Abhi: the Doc URL you give me (<e48740>) it doesn't help much. It doesn't tell much about environment variables for oracle. I have the following sample for oracle .profile at IBM AIX 6.1, is it Ok enough for us as basic setting?
vi /home/oracle/.profile
# Oracle variables
umask 022
TMP=/tmp; export TMP
TMPDIR=$TMP; export TMPDIR
ORACLE_SID=meps; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_BASE=/ora_bin01/u01/app/oracle; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/11.2.0; export ORACLE_HOME
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin export TNS_ADMIN
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:/usr/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin; export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib:/lib:/usr/lib;/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LIBPATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export LIBPATH
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/jre:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/oui/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib; export CLASSPATH
Note:
there are optional environment variables: TNS_ADMIN(optional), NLS_LANG (optional), TWO_TASK (optional)
thank you!

Oracle OC4J 904 and JNDI environment variable lookup up

Hi all, we are getting this when trying to run our app in Oracle 904:

Basically the app server thinks there is no environment entry but I have it declared in ejb-jar.xml descriptor:
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>ejb/BeanFactoryPath</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>applicationContext.prod.xml</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
Any ideas,
J

That depends of the shell that you use.
If you use the bash than execute:
EXPORT ORACLE_SID=<YOUR_SID>
If you use csh:
setenv ORACLE_SID <YOUR_SID>

System environment variable

I accidentally deleted my environment variable in my lenovo Y50 laptop.Is there any chance i could recover it back.Or can i get a sample of environment variable.Your help is much appreciated.

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

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 /?
Cheers

Add firewall rule with custom environment variable in program path

Hi,
We want to create a firewall rule for a program which is placed in folder which changes sometimes. I know you can add a firewall with the ProgramFiles environment variable like this:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Test Firewall rule" dir=in program="%%ProgramFiles%%\Test\Test.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
The environment variable ProgramFiles isn't expanded and if the Program Files folder is different on a system the rule still works.
We try to use this with a custom environment variable which we set a system environment variable with this command:
SETX SomeFolder "D:\Some Folder\Apr 2015" /M
If we use the command below to add the firewall rule in a batch file the environment variable SomeFolder is expanded correctly and the program path is added as a static path.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Some Firewall Rule" dir=in program="%SomeFolder%\AFile.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
Because the folder changes sometimes we want to change the environment variable SomeFolder and not remove the old firewall rule and create a new one. We want to add the environment variable SomeFolder to the program path as a (dynamic) environment variable
and not as the expanded path at the moment when the rule is added. If we use this command:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Some Firewall Rule" dir=in program="%%SomeFolder%%\AFile.exe" action=allow security=notrequired
We get the error:
          Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
          An error occurred while adding the rule.
          Error: The parameter is incorrect
          Status: The application name could not be resolved
          OK
Why can't we use %%SOMEFOLDER%% like we can use %%PROGRAMFILES%%? The same error is shown when we try to add the firewall rule through the management console 'Windows Firewall with Advanced Security'
W. Spu

Hi,
Based on my plenty of test with this problem, it seems like there is no better method to achieve your requirement. To add new policy to firewall, it would be better using general cmdlet. The path parameter like %%SomeFolder%% do have problem in add firewall
policy cmdlet.
