You can specify additional environment variables for the Oracle HTTP Server using environment properties such as SHELL
, LANG
, INSTANCE_NAME
, and more.
The environment property syntax is:
environment[.append][.<order>].<name> = <value>
Where:
The optional .append
will append the new <value> to any existing value for <
name
>
. If <
name
>
has not yet been defined, then <value> will be the new value.
The optional .<
order
>
value sets order for this definition's setting in the environment (the default is 0). The order determines when the configured variable is added to the process' environment (and its value evaluated). Environment properties with lower order values are processed before those with higher order values. The order value must be an integer with a value greater than or equal to 0.
<
name
>
is the environment variable name, which must begin with a letter or underscore, and consist of letters, numeric digits or underscores.
<
value
>
is the value of environment variable <
name
>
. The value can reference other environment variable names, including its own.
The following special references may be included in the value:
"$:" for the path separator
"$/" for the file separator
"$$" for '$'
With the exception of these special characters, UNIX variable syntax references ("$name" or "${name}") and the Windows variable syntax reference ("%name%") are supported.
Each property name within the same property file must be unique (the behavior is not defined for multiple properties defined with the same name), thus the .<
order
>
field is necessary to keep property names unique when multiple definitions are provided for the same environment variable <
name
>
.
The following environment variables are set by the Oracle HTTP Server plug-in:
SHELL: From 's environment, or defaults to /bin/sh, or cmd.exe for Windows
ORA_NLS33: Set to $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data
NLS_LANG: From 's environment, otherwise default
LANG: From 's environment, otherwise default
LC_ALL: From 's environment, if set
TZ: From 's environment, if set
ORACLE_HOME: Full path to the Oracle home
ORACLE_INSTANCE: Full path to the domain home
INSTANCE_NAME: The name of the domain
PRODUCT_HOME: The path to the Oracle HTTP Server install: $ORACLE_HOME/ohs
PATH: Defaults to
On UNIX:
$PRODUCT_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:
$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
On Windows:
%PRODUCT_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;
%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\bin;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32
These variables apply to UNIX only:
TNS_ADMIN: From 's environment, or $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH: $PRODUCT_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/jdk/lib
LIBPATH: Same as LD_LIBARY_PATH
X_LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64: Same as LD_LIBRARY_PATH
These variables apply to Windows only:
ComSpec: Defaults to %ComSpec% value from the system.
SystemRoot: Defaults to %SystemRoot% value from the system.
SystemDrive: Defaults to %SystemDrive% value from the system.
Example
On a UNIX like system with the web tier installed as /oracle and the environment variable "MODX_RUNTIME=special" set in the NodeManager's environment, the following definitions:
environment.MODX_RUNTIME = $MODX_RUNTIME environment.1.MODX_ENV = Value A environment.1.MODX_PATH = $PATH$:/opt/modx/bin environment.2.MODX_ENV = ${MODX_ENV}, Value B environment.append.2.MODX_PATH = /var/modx/bin MODX_ENV = Value A, Value B MODX_PATH = /oracle/ohs/bin:/oracle/bin:/oracle/jdk/bin:/bin:/usr/bin: /usr/local/bin:/opt/modx/bin:/var/modx/bin
would result in the following additional environment variables set for Oracle HTTP Server:
MODX_RUNTIME = special
