View Environment Variables in Windows and UNIX
Use Visual Manager to view Ingres environment variables and to manually register and deregister them. Additionally, you can use it to override certain environment variables at the user level.
To view environment variables in Visual Manager
1. Select the Installation branch.
2. Select the Parameters tab and select the System subtab (if not already selected).
The Ingres parameters that are set at the installation (system) level are displayed.
3. Select the Show Unset Parameters check box.
Parameters that are not currently set are displayed.
If the User subtab is selected, those parameters that can be overridden at the user level are displayed.
4. Select the Extra subtab.
Any extra Ingres environment variables that are added or variables whose names are dynamic are displayed. You can edit these parameters from this screen.
Alternatively, to view all installation-wide environment variables from the command line, enter the following command at the operating system prompt:
ingprenv
To manually register or to remove an environment variable from the Ingres symbol table, use the ingsetenv and ingunset utilities. Always use these commands to alter the symbol table. Never edit this file directly.
A similar set of system administrator commands are available to set, print, and unset installation-wide Ingres environment variables simultaneously for all clients of an installation server. These commands are ingsetall, ingprall, and ingunsetall.
