"Call the executable" allows the environment variable "path"?

Hello

It seems that when you use the step type "call the executable" you need to enter the absolute path of the executable, or the absolute working directory, in the definition of "call settings" step.  I seem not to be able to put in a *.exe by himself in the path and have the command is found, even if I can't enter this same command on the command line (windows 7).  Is it possible to configure this step to use the windows ' path' environment variable to search for the executable?

David J.

You can do the following:

(1) specify cmd.exe for the file path.

(2) specify "/c yourexe.exe" for the argument expression

This will launch a command window and tell it to run your application with the simple file name.

The reason why you can't put just yourexe.exe in the path of file is that TestStand made its own resolution of file path that is different from what the window command. It uses its directories to search to resolve relative paths. If you do not have to specify an absolute path for the file path parameter, but it must be compared to a TestStand search directory or the current sequence file.

Hope this helps,

-Doug

  • Win 7 guest does not search the environment variable PATH for executable

    Win 7 Home Premium - cmd.exe - (high - run as administrator)

  • How to programmatically change the environment variables

    I use Visual Source Safe commands in the context menu of Windows Explorer, and I often have to change VSS to the other database. I uses .reg files to change the value of the variable SSDIR. The registry editor displays the new value immediately after the call to the .reg file. However, the system does not seem to actually recognize the change, unless I open my computer properties to Environment Variables, and then click OK.

    How can I make an immediate change to a variable user permanently without enter in the properties of my computer?

    To dynamically create a table, you must use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE. If you want your table to be padded with timestamp name you can do it with the function TO_CHAR and SYSDATE.

    An example

    execute immediate 'create table acme_' || to_char(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYYHH24MISS') || ' as select * from a';

    Installation of the ton tent of the Oracle database - win64_11gR2

    MY PC CONFIGURATION:
    -Windows 7
    -64-bit

    Can you please help me get this resolved please.

    The following information appears to be linked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473

    According to the link above, the maximum length of the PATH environment variable is 2048/8192 characters. Apparently the length has been increased to 2048 from Windows XP SP2. Your current path is about 1200 characters that is less than the limit of the OS.

    The Oracle installer is incorrect about the PRVF-3929 error message? Or if the length of the path environment variable is not the real problem? Maybe you can try temporarily shorten the path and add the full pathname after the installation of Oracle.

    You should be able to modify the path as follows:
    From the desktop, do a right click my computer, and then click Properties.
    In the System Properties window, click the Advanced tab.
    In the Advanced section, click the Environment Variables button.

    Using Windows 7 Professional? If the error message occurs even with a short path, then maybe there something else trigger this error, as the antivirus or other security software.

  • Create the directory objects with the path environment variable

    I need to create a directory object and wonder if it's valid to use an environment variable in the nom_chemin?  Example:

    CREATE or REPLACE DIRECTORY XMLDIR AS ' $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/xml ";

    I read the following in the Oracle 11.2 documentation, but it is is not clear to me if an environment variable is allowed or not.  My reason for wanting to use a variable of environment as opposed to hard coding is for when I update, I have no back reference to the old House of Oracle.

    nom_chemin

    Specify the name of the full path of the directory on the server where the operating system files are located. Single quotes are required, so that the path name is case-sensitive.

    > I see that many developers have created objects to directory with the environment variables in the path.

    Please post reproducible test

    You know & realize that the Oracle database is independent of the operating system (OS)?

    Environment variable is OS specific.
