Pennsylvania BANNER Users Group 2006 Taming the ENV Settings Robin Ying Imperial Valley College

2 General Announcements: Please turn off all cell phones/pagers If you must leave the session early, please do so as discreetly as possible Please avoid side conversations during the session Questions will be answered at the end of the session Thank you for your cooperation

3 Background Our Environment: – System was set up by consultants, lack of documentation and knowledge transfer. – Limited fiscal resources. – Users want to have their exclusive cloned databases – AR, FA, FIN, HR, STU. – Going through Version 6 to Version 7 upgrade. Why Refactoring? – Duplicated code, very difficult to maintain. – Confusing setup, hard to trace errors.

4 Background The Banner-Oracle Instances: – 3 parts: INB + Database + Code Tree – 2 types of cloned instances: Shared Code Tree Independent instances ProductionSTUHRTESTUPGR INB Forms banprodbantestbanpprd Code Tree Production[ HR ][ Student ]TESTUPGR Database

5 Refactoring Goals Allow only one place to make changes to all ENV settings – the oraenv_local. – Simplifies maintenance Making Banner-Oracle instance change a single-command effort. – Simplifies usage Easy to exam the ENV settings. – Simplifies debugging Not affecting the baseline. – Easy to carry forward

6 Walk through the code ############################################################# 31 # Local host settings -- modify according to installation 32 ############################################################# 33 production_host=sun2 34 oracle_production_sid=IVC 45 ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle 46 ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/ [ ${ORACLE_SID:-0} = 0 ] && { 64 if [ $ask = 'y' ] 65 then 66chsid# ask for it 67 else 68ORACLE_SID=TEST;# default setting 69[ `hostname` = $production_host ] && ORACLE_SID=$oracle_production_sid; 70 fi recursion

8 Walk through the code $ECHO $instances | /bin/grep $ORACLE_SID > /dev/null 99 [ $? = 1 ] && { 100$ECHO "\n** Error: Invalid ORACLE_SID: $ORACLE_SID" 101$ECHO "\n** Valid values are: $instances\n" 102chsid 103 } 111 BANNER_HOME='$'${ORACLE_SID}_ct; BANNER_HOME=$BANNER_ROOT/`eval "echo $BANNER_HOME"` recursion dynamic variable dynamic rendering

9 Dynamic Variables Dynamic variables are constructed and rendered during execution. Basic structure: 1. There is a static variable with an assigned value. 2. A dynamic variable is constructed during the execution time whose value is to match the name of the static variable. 3. The dynamic variable is rendered during execution time with the value of the static variable.

10 Dynamic Variables Example: – Static variable with value: PPRD_ct=banpprd – Dynamic variable is constructed during execution time ( ${ORACLE_SID} changes according to the ENV setting): code_tree='$'${ORACLE_SID}_ct code_tree=$PPRD_ct when ORACLE_SID is set to PPRD – Dynamic variable is rendered: BANNER_HOME=/u01/sghe/`eval "echo $code_tree"` echo $code_tree produces $PPRD_ct eval $PPRD_ct produces banpprd BANNER_HOME=/u01/sghe/banpprd
