it makes zero sense because if CATALINA_HOME is not set, then CATALINA_HOME/bin won't resolve at all (unless some form of magic is used)

[ -z "$CATALINA_HOME" ] && CATALINA_HOME=`cd "$PRGDIR/.." ; pwd`rightBy "right", are you being sarcastic or are you saying that code is correct?
It's a pretty standard technique for setting default variables under *nix, no magic involved. And this particular example was taken from the Tomcat 5.5.25 startup script.

Why do we actuallya need the setting of environment variables?

Hello guys,
I read that, in order to connect to the database via SQL*Plus, we need to have the environment variables set. So, SQL*Plus is a command tool, which doesnt know over which path to connect to db, if the environment variables are not set?
How about the needs of setting environment variables at point of view of MS-DOS? I know that over MS-DOS we can check if the environment variables are already set or not. Or we can actively set the environment variables.
When should we actually set the environment variables? Before we run the GUI or after? I read, that if we set it before we run the GUI, then the setting will be taken over when it comes to that step by running GUI. I am curious, since this would be interesting to know, if we use other version than XE.
Thanks..

Oracle's flexibility ... many different versions working the same on many different versions of many different operating systems ... means that a single consistent installation and configuration methodology must work everywhere so as not to have the limitations of other competing products that work on only a single operating system or require that one learn a different syntax and methods for different versions.
Be grateful Oracle is as it is. Your competence in one version and operating system translates into competence in others.

Once you have identified the JDK install path:
1. Right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and select properties
2. Click the Advanced Tab
3. Click the Environment Variables button
4. Click New
5. Enter the variable name as JAVA_HOME
6. Enter the variable value as the install path for the Java Development Kit.
7. OK
Next you have set an environment variable CATALINA_HOME that contains the pathname to the directory in which Tomcat 5 has been installed, the same way you set the JAVA_HOME ev.

Why do I need to declare "defaultButton" ? (In a component form part of view stack)

After doing some research and some help from FlexGuy in another thread, I realize that I need to make sure I have custom components initialized before accessing parts of the component. Just recently I was thrown for a long time when I tried to first click on a form field that was part of a component in my view stack, I'd get:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at mx.managers::FocusManager/focusInHandler()[C:\autobuild\galaga\frameworks\projects\framew ork\src\mx\managers\FocusManager.as:601]
With the debugger it's occuring in the focusInHandler method of FocusManager.as: (apparently _defaultButton is null.)
// restore the default button to be the original one
                if (defButton && defButton != _defaultButton)
                    defButton.emphasized = false;
                    defButton = _defaultButton;
                   _defaultButton.emphasized = true;
This prompted me, on a whim, to delcare a defaultButton:
<mx:Form id="empForm" defaultButton="{submitButton}">
which refers to my submit button:
<mx:Button id="submitButton" click="submitEmployee()" label="{submitLabel}"/>
My question, is why is this necessary? In some examples I don't see this declared at all, but I seem to need it? (I'm calling creationPolicy="all" to make sure my components are initialized but I still seem to have to this defaultButton declared?)

It's a way of proving that you are able to purchase content from that country's store i.e. that you have a valid billing address in it
From Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support :

When you change the country or region of an existing Apple ID, you must provide a payment method and update your billing options. If you want to remove your payment method after you change the country or region, you can change your payment information to None.

Need some insight on environment variables/.profile

hello,
I'm a bit confused by how the various environment profiles are set in Terminal for Leopard. I am working with a developer who used his .profile to set a series of export commands and successfully set some path constants. But when I tried it on my very similarly configured system I can't seem to get anything in my .profile to run. I can run it explicitly by doing . ~/.profile .
I tried the obvious, restarted terminal, etc and no good. I can add things to .bash_profile and they seem to work. I'm just confused about why this would be different.
thanks!

Just add a command to run .profile from your .bash_profile file
Something like:
if [ -f ~/.profile ]; then
. ~/.profile

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

Dimension declaration. Why do we need it?

Hey, Oracle data warehouse gurus.
It should be an easy question for you.
Why do we need to declare dimension on the top of the dimension table (CREATE DIMENTION dimension_name ...)?
It seems to me that many functions such as rollup, cube and the like do not need this dimension metadata.
I am using Crystal Holos OLAP server to do data mining and reporting and again this tool (at least version 7.5) does not use dimension metadata. I suppose that some OLAP servers do.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Rajsan Madhavarajan
Query as a Web Service (QaaWS) is a SAP Business Objects (BOBJ) client-side tool that allows users to create and publish Web Services that can be made available over the Web. Once these web services are created and published, they can be consumed like any other standard Web Service in software applications including Xcelsius and Crystal Reports. But first we have to understand what exactly is a Web Service.
Web Service
A Web Service is a software system that supports interoperable interaction over a network from one computer or machine to another but is more commonly defined as a client and a server communicating data over the Web using the HTTP Protocol. Using Web Services along with Business Objects allows a live connection of data to be used in applications such as Xcelsius and Crystal Reports through a semantic layer called a Universe.
Query as a Web Service (QaaWS)
The two main components in QaaWS are the Client Tool and the Server. The QaaWS Client Tool gives the end user an easy to use wizard that allows them to create Universe queries and publish them as Web Services. Once the QaaWS is published, any user can securely access the data that the Web Service contains as long as they have access to that server. Have a look on image below that shows the information flow to and from the server via the client.
Advantages to QaaWS:
Very easy to use and intuitive interface Familiar look and feel for people who have used Web Intelligence
Leverages existing Business Objects Universes Shares metadata with Web Intelligence, Desktop Intelligence and Crystal Reports
Maintains Business Objects Enterprise Security
Allows live data feeds to be incorporated into Xcelsius Dashboards and Crystal Reports

Who can tell me the details about "JMSJVMOPTS" environment variable of JMSC API

          I have a question about JMS C API.
          When in windows service application, JMSContectCreate return JMS_JVM_ERROR error.
          But in desktop app, it does well.
          I think I may need set the JMSJVMOPTS environment variable.
          But how to set JMSJVMOPTS ?


OK,
          The JMSJVMOPTS are extra options passed to the "java" executable itself
          along with
          "-Djava.class.path=${CLASSPATH}"
          Hence, the actual things you can set with this depend on which java compiler
          you are using. If you are using the Sun JVM for instance, here are some of
          the options you can set (from java -?)
          where options include:
          -client to select the "client" VM
          -server to select the "server" VM
          -hotspot is a synonym for the "client" VM [deprecated]
          The default VM is client.
          -cp -classpath <directories and zip/jar files separated by ;>
          set search path for application classes and resources
          -D<name>=<value>
          set a system property
          -verbose[:class|gc|jni]
          enable verbose output
          -version print product version and exit
          -showversion print product version and continue
          -? -help print this help message
          -X print help on non-standard options
          -ea[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
          -enableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
          enable assertions
          -da[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
          -disableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
          disable assertions
          -esa | -enablesystemassertions
          enable system assertions
          -dsa | -disablesystemassertions
          disable system assertions
          As far as what sort of things can cause a JMS_JVM_ERROR from
          JmsContextCreate the answer is that there are many, many reasons this might
          be happening. Please look for a file named ULOG.<mmddyy> (where mmddyy is
          month/day/year - for example ULOG.081403) somewhere on your system (I am not
          sure where this file would go being run from a W2K service). That "userlog"
          file should contain more information about why the failure occurred.
          Also, you can set JMSDEBUG=y in your environment which will print to stdout
          (again, not sure where stdout goes in a system service) stack traces and
          other debugging information into the ULOG file.
          Hope this helps...

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.

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem and found the solution !
I was trying to setup the GUI thanks to sapinstgui.exe from the trial download folder and I got the exact same message,
The problem is not the policies but the installation file.
The installation file for the GUI is located at :
<extract_folder_SAP_trial_version>\GUI\SAP_GUI_FOR_WINDOWS(...)\SAP_GUI_for_windows_(...)_Components.exe
Hope it helps !

Update JDK environment variables...

Oracle 11g RAC RHEL 4 AS
I have just upgraded JDK from 1.4 to 6.0 and I wanted to know where and which environment variables need to be updated.
Thanks.

Well, I have just finished upgrading my RAC database to 11g. And in the deprecated section, it is mentioned that JDK 1.4 is not supported for 11g and we must upgrade to 1.5 or 5.0. So I upgraded to 1.6 but I still get the error:

when I give the the srvctl stop instance command. I am thinking maybe I need to point the environment variables to the correct java version? Perhaps I need to edit the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl file?
please feel free to move this post to the RAC section if you feel necessary.
Thank you.

DBS_ORA_SCHEMA environment variable?

Hi Gurus,
I am doing a refresh from Production (P01) to Development (D01). I am having problem to start SAP in D01. I have run the OPS$ script but still unsuccessful. Based on note 534765, it advice to change environment dbs_ora_schema to SAP<SID>.
Below are my system details :
Production : SID (P01), dbs_ora_schema = SAPR3
Development : SID (D01), dbs_ora_schema = SAPSR3
Should I update dbs_ora_schema for D01 similar to P01 or should I update it to SAPP01.
Anyone have ideas on this?
Thanks,
Intan Azir

Perform the following check via sqlplus in D01:
select username from dba_users;
If your refresh was done as described you should see the schema owner SAPR3 from P01.
In that case you need to adapt your environment variables in order to use the correct schema user.
Kind regards,

Unable to start java tools - Error : Environment variable JAVA_HOME not set

hi all,
I am not able to start the java tool - Visual Admin, Configtool, etc in the solaris Bash shell.
I was given authorizations on solaris and i'm able to view the logs and browse in solaris boxes,
But, when i try to start Visual Admin, it says" ERROR environment variable JAVA_HOME not set "
Since,my colleagues are using this tool for years, how come the environment variable is not set only for my user profile ?
Is it like the environment variable has to set seperately for every user profile ?
Do i need to set it initially for my profile eventhough it is working for others ?
i am confused..please help.
Addy

Nicholls, Thanks for your quick reply.
Ofcourse, I use my login ID to use java tools and they use their's obviously.I don't use <SID>adm.
We WRQ reflection for X-Windows and Putty for Command line Solaris Access.
When i try to use VA through the X-Window tool WRQ reflection, I am not able to start the tool.
My doubt here is, Do we need to setup the environment variable for every new user initially for the first time ? ( I am a new user for this environment )
Supposing if i need to setup the environment variable, do i need to set it up for the all the Solaris Boxes i use ?
I am able to browse through the files.when i try to start the VA by giving ./go i am not able to start it up.
Appreciate your time and valuable replies.

Setting new environment variable on Linux

{noformat}I need to set new environment variable on my linux machine from inside my code. I am using csh and the command works fine from command line:
setenv IFConfigLocation4 /home/username/myfile.xml
But when i try the same thing from Java code it does not seem to have any effect. here is my code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class CDE_parser_methods{
public static String fileParse(String inFile, String parserName, String outFile, String CMConfig_locale)
String parsed = "SUCCESSFUL";
System.out.println("Parsing file..." + "\nParser name: " + parserName +"\nInput file name: " + inFile + "\nOutput file name: " + outFile + "\nCMConfig file is: " + CMConfig_locale);
System.out.println("Current Java version: " + System.getProperty("java.version"));
try
          String cmd[]={"/bin/csh", "-c", "setenv IFConfigLocation4 " + CMConfig_locale};
          Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
          int exitVal= proc.waitFor();
          System.out.println("Value of setenv command is: " + exitVal);
          String cmd2[]={"/bin/csh", "-c", "env"};
          Process proc2 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd2);
          InputStream instr = proc2.getInputStream();
          InputStreamReader inread = new InputStreamReader(instr);
          BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(inread);
          String line=null;
          while((line=buf.readLine()) != null)
               System.out.println(line);
          int exitVal2= proc2.waitFor();
          }catch(CMException cme){
               System.out.println("Issue when trying to executing parse command, details: " + cme.getMessage());
               System.out.println("Description of the issue is: " + cme.getDescription());
               parsed = "FAILURE: " + cme.getDescription();
          }catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println("Uncought exception, details: " + e.getMessage());
               parsed = "FAILURE: " + e.getMessage();

     System.out.println("Result of fileParse call is: " + results);
     }The out put of my env command does NOT contain system variable "IFConfigLocation4". Any ideas? {noformat}

Environment variables and their values set from within a user process has their scope and lifetime limited to the process and its subprocesses. See java.lang.ProcessBuilder class and its API documentation for setting env for a subprocess that will be started by a ProcessBuilder instance. Even in the C programming we have the same limitation for the environment.
Since they are not globally set, system command like env or Java method like System.getenv() can't see them.
