How to use variables in script

[Shilpa_Mittal]

Hi,

I am new to install anywhere.I want to use value of USER_INSTALL_DIR in my batch script file.I tried using "Set Install any where variable" by assigning it's value to a variable e.g PARAM1 and then using that variable $PARAM1 in my csh script.

However while running script ,it gives unknown variable PARAM1 .Can anyone help me how to use variable in my script?

Would it be possible to post your script?

I'm having the same problem. How do you use an IA variable in a batch script? Do you just have to use $VAR_NAME$?

In the script I'm trying to pass an IA variable into a java class.

java -cp $CLASSPATH className $VAR_NAME$

Are there any problems doing this?

Hi Vlad,

The script is very simple .I just want to run a procedure from the $USER_INSTALL_DIR.

I have assigned $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ to INSTALL_DIR using Set Install where variable-Single Variable as given:
variable name :INSTALL_DIR
set value to :$USER_INSTALL_DIR$

and the script is


#!/bin/csh
echo $INSTALL_DIR$ >> test.txt
sqlplus -s nx/abc<< EOF
@CUSTOMER_PROCEDURES.sql;
exit
EOF

You've got two option. You either use the Execute Script/Batch file and you paste the contents of your script there, and the $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ variable will be automatically replaced, or you can install your script file and before executing it, you use the Modify Text File - Single File, where you check the option Substitute InstallAnywhere variables in file.
