My cognos server is in linux machine. Is there any way to set the environmental variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_SID etc in cognos configuration?
I have set these from command prompt and each time when I restart the cognos service the variable needto be set again. I need to find a permanent solution for teh same so that i dont want to set the variable again and again.
Hi,
That depends what shell you're using but I guess the most common is Bash
csh, tcsh Examine your .cshrc file in the home folder of the user account starting Cognos 8
sh, ksh Examine your .profile file in the home folder of the user account starting Cognos 8
bash Examine you .bashrc file in the home folder of the user account starting Cognos 8
In that file you can set your variables like this: 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=...' (omit the quotes offcourse)
Hope this helps
