• Why is my PATH variable change just after I put it in the paths that I want?

  I use the set command to change my path variable and verify that it has been defined with the path command.  However, soon as the path is defined it somehow be returned automatically to another sequence of paths that I did not specify.  My path variable that is changed immediately after I put it?

  Hi Chris,

  Using the 'SET' command in a command prompt is temporary and exists only while the command line is open and may not affect the programs running outside the command line.

• PCTCT regardless of the DIRECTORY path variable

  I have a table (list) that called several folders. I use ListGetAt based on the index of the value of cfloop to get the name of the folder I want LISTDIR with PCTCT. I attribute the name of the folder to a variable. Test demonstrates the foldername table works fine. Name of the folder hardcoding in PCTCT gives the desired result. BUT, when I replace all or part of the DIRECTORY = 'path' with the file name-variable default performance is the root directory as defined by the ftp credentials.
  
  Why DIRECTORY = "" folder/logs / "give me what I want and the DIRECTORY =" # file #/ logs "ignores even when he #folder # is clearly defined?" I used variables inside PCTCT before, so I know that works... I am puzzled, see attached code for reference; (FYI 'files' are assigned to the variable called 'House')

  It turns out that it was a problem of path with the FTP credentials, I'd simply not the path correctly disposed to get code find its target. No one could help with that!

• Content server file system path Variable

• How the PATH environment variable longer?

  Hello

  I use Windows Vista Business.  Lately, I just installed the beta of Intel Parallel Studio and found that my path variable ran out of space.  Internet research concluded that there cannot be more than 1024?
  It is too little for me to welcome all directories program that I installed, and thus some programs no longer work correctly.
  I wonder if there-
  (a) is a way I can expand the size of the Path system variable?
  (b) add another variable which can take some Path variable values so that I do not violate the limitation of 1024.
  Thanks in advance!

  Hello, Gutsingh

  The PATH environment variable has a fixed limit of 1023 characters can be used. It doesn't seem to be a way to extend this. Other environment variables have a higher limit, which can be useful.

  Let us know if that helps.

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

  Win 7 Home Premium - cmd.exe - (high - run as administrator)
  Command prompt can't find the executable files that are clearly in the PATH variable
  For example, the netstat.exe program is located in the system32 folder, but when I type in the command window, it says:
  'netstat.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command
  operable program or batch file.
  But when I give it full, c:\windows\system32\netstat.exe path, the command runs correctly.
  Here is the PATH variable that returns the command window:
  Path=%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\
  System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\; C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\; C:\Program
  Common Files Files\GTK\2.0\bin

  You can clearly see that %SystemRoot%\system32 is there, and Yes, SystemRoot is c:\windows

  That is the only .exe this command prompt does not open properly?

  Have you tried with another user account? Any change?

• Big problem with the variable PATH approx. need help!

  Hello
  I had a problem with the PATH environment variable. Instead of updating client Informatica & server paths PATH env variable, I created new PATH env variable and to establish client & server paths and saved. When I revisited this PATH Env variable, I was shocked to see the content of the PATH variable. I have to set back the old values like windows OS, DB etc paths paths. Could someone tell me how to make or do I have to reinstall the OS, DB, etc. Am on WIndows server 2003.

  I saved my PATH before configuring Informatica. Here's what I had:

  Path = C:\oracle\10gclient\bin; C:\OracleBI\server\Bin; C:\OracleBI\web\bin; C:\OracleBI\web\catalogmanager; C:\OracleBI\SQLAnywhere; C:\OracleBAM\ClientForBAM\bin;%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem; C:\OracleBAM\BAM; C:\Informatica\PowerCenter8.1.1\client\bin

  The critical components of the OS dependent PATH is % SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem.

  Hello guys!

  I messed up just the value of the path variable and the laptop is much slower.

  Can someone paste here the value of the default Variable in the variable "Path"?

  If you want to help, but do not know how to follow this:

  Go to the research and the variable type.

  Click configuration, and then you will see 2 icons.
  Click Edit system environment variables.

• convert a string to a path

  I want to assign a value to a global variable of the station (type: number) to the local variable (type: number).

  The problem is, that knowledge straight from the global variable of the station at the time of execution.

  I have a string like "StationGlobals.PARAMETER.SWITCH.xx.nRESISTOR_VALUE" - the characters 'xx' variable will be replaced when running...

  Now I want to convert this string to a path variable to assign to the local variable (type: number) the value of the global variable of the station (type: number)

  Do you know how I can do?

• Environmental parameters for Start Up and recovery path

  Is this the path variable normal environment for start-up and recovery in Control Panel?

  "% SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem; C:\Program Files\Fichiers SharedCOM Shared\DLLShared\; C:\Program Files\Fichiers SharedCOM Shared\DLLShared\; C:\Program Files\Fichiers SharedCOM Shared\9.0\DLLShared\"

  Also in the services, I started and running a secondary connection with an unattached profile and another service called 'readyboost' with another unattached profile that is disabled, but these two have passwords on them.

  I reinstalled vista windows from a recovery disk that I ordered from HP.  I have a Pavillion DV6500 and the new facility took 6 hours to complete.  Also my service packs keep uninstall and I have more than 40 x active controls in my addons on new IE8 running without permission.   Is this normal?

  First, it is not normal that Roxio entries be in the path of the environment (although I don't know what Roxio did when installing - it can for some reason any add them, but I can't imagine why).  Did you install Roxio or came with the HP recovery disk?  I would like to remove the entries from Roxio, but it is your decision to do that I don't know what effect this will have on your system.  Roxio doesn't play well with Vista in general (or you can leave them alone because they are probably not wrong).

  Secondly, it is not normal to have 40 controls ActiveX in IE8 modules quickly and without add them yourself.  I don't know how they got there or what they're doing.  I all would disable them until you get this thing figured out.  It is possible that they have been added by HP because you used their recovery process - but I don't know.  Ask HP.

  Thirdly, it seems that the recovery of the system did not work properly.  To install service packs, you must first do a complete update of Windows (perhaps several times), before appear no more.  And then install SP1 (unless it was one of the updates).  Then run Windows update again until no furter updates appear and then install SP2.  Then run Windows Update again until no other updates appear and you will be updated.  If you have tried to install service packs without installing updates firstly this is perhaps why they do not work properly (it isn't normal for service packs to uninstalll on their own).  You need to contact HP again and explain the situation - they can send you bad discs or you will have to start the process.  They may help you with the process and problems of this result.  We can't really help you because it it to HP to start the process and non-Microsoft.

  I hope this helps.

• SQL Express LocalDB Path missing until reboot

  We have just upgraded one of our Installer components required for SQL Express LocalDB 2014 (SP1) since the 2012 version.

  The problem is that LocalDB installer does not update the path environment variable, so when the main installer try subsequently call slqlocaldb it fails because it cannot find the executable file.

  The path variable does not seem to be updated after a reboot, but the LocalDB installer does not prompt for this (and anyway it would be a pain).

  Everyone knows this? Is a workaround to enable the change of the path without a reboot?

  Hello

  I am trying to use Java and to save typing a long path to the compiler name whenever I compile recommend Sun -.

  o set the PATH variable permanently, add the full path of the jdk1.8.0\bin Directory to the PATH variable. Typically this full path looks something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0\bin . Define the PATH variable as follows on Microsoft Windows:

  1. Click on Start, then Control Panel, then System.

  2. Click Advanced, click Environment Variables.

  However, when I do -> I find not all variables to be changed, and I don't see a option to be selected.

• A new PATH program introduced in 2.7.0?

  If someone else can confirm this, it would be great.

  I added a location in my path variable while a new battery commissioning, but it is not applied when the battery is attached.  I've updated the battery to check and desperately, my position is in the PATH variable.  It is in the stack, but it does not apply when it is attached.

  The question is apparently more with the 2.6.0 agent.  When I upgraded to a virtual machine to the 2.7.0 agent, the PATH variable is correct and reflects what has been added in the stack.

• What is the variable env LD_LIBRARY_PATH for?

  DB version: 11.2
  OS: Oracle Solaris 10
  
  Why do we set LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
  
  If my ORACLE_HOME is

  $ echo $ORACLE_HOME
  /u01/oracle/11g/db

  All that I need to set for LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

  $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  /u01/oracle/11g/db/lib

  What happens if I put the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH or set so wrong?

  If LD_LIBRARY_PATH is required or not depends on how the dynamic links of the kernel loader works ito determine where looking for a shared lib.

  The dynamic links Windows loader uses the PATH variable (after first checking the current directory). It seems since the test below that Linux needs the whole LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  // current setting
  /home/billy> echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

  There is also a variable SHLIB_PATH used by some Unix flavors... could be pre-Posix maybe? Remember that this has been used on older kernels of 32-bit HP - UX.

  If the ldd command (or similar) is available, this is a good way to check the requirement of library of static linking of an executable and the question of whether the loader can find the library files required on the disc.
