HP Operations Manager for UNIX V 09.10.230 Home Directory

[keestim]

Hi All,

I am not an expert with this software package. 

I am trying to install the HP Operations Manager for UNIX Client V 09.10.230 on Windows server 2008 SE.

the client itself is working, but for some reason I cannot set the home directory where it saves the itooprc file. 

By default it saves it in a directory from a diffirent account. I tried diffirent servers and accounts (all with admin rights).

My question is is there a possibility to manually set the home directory? 

thank you in advance!

kr, Tim

Hallo Keestim,

The Java GUI resource file itooprc resides in the home directory of the user who starts the Java GUI (it is located in the user’s home directory).

By default, the java gui uses the java profile "user.home" as a storage directory for a user's customisations/preferences.

The JVM sets this from the users home directory but if there are problems with this, as a last resort, it can be overridden in the ito_op.bat script by adding  "-Duser.home=<directory>" directory in the startup line.

Example : To force the java gui to take the directory C:\testuser as the home directory, add the -Duser.home option to the following line in the ito_op.bat:
:: Starting JavaGUI
for %%p in (true TRUE on ON) do if "%%p"=="%TRACE%" echo on
for %%p in (true TRUE on ON) do if "%%p"=="%PLUGIN%" goto :PLUGIN
%START% .\JRE1.3.1\bin\%JAVA% -mx60m  com.hp.ov.it.ui.OvEmbApplet
initial_node=%ITOSERVER% user=%USER% passwd=%PASSWD% trace=%TRACE%
display=%DISPLAY%
goto END


End result :
:: Starting JavaGUI
for %%p in (true TRUE on ON) do if "%%p"=="%TRACE%" echo on
for %%p in (true TRUE on ON) do if "%%p"=="%PLUGIN%" goto :PLUGIN
%START% .\JRE1.3.1\bin\%JAVA% -mx60m -Duser.home=c:\testuser
com.hp.ov.it.ui.OvEmbApplet initial_node=%ITOSERVER% user=%USER%
passwd=%PASSWD% trace=%TRACE% display=%DISPLAY%
goto END

Hope this can help !

Thank you very much HAI_HAZARD!

This solution is working for me.

I have used it in combination with -- -Duser.home=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% --- and it does the trick.

again thank you.
