you can check .cshrc file in home directory of <sid>adm, and based on that you can find java required files ex:j2eeenv_`hostname`.csh

May be before that first check <sid>adm is using which shell based on that you check required files , normally sap system uses csh  , you can check same in /etc/passwd file also.

The question was about system wide setting of environment variables - so .cshrc is not the correct place I guess.

take a look at the /etc/profile.d directory for a script setting your java environment and update this script or update the logical links to whicht your jdk and jre point

[fabian_herschel]

In general this is the right point to set environment variables. However normally the JAVA environment variables should be set correctly by the java installation packages.

So which JAVA environment variables do you like to set explicitely?

Login to your account and open .bash_profile file

$ vi ~/.bash_profile

Set JAVA_HOME as follows using syntax export JAVA_HOME=<path-to-java>. If your path is set to /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/java, set it as follows:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin/java

Set PATH as follows:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_07/bin

Hi,

>> i cant find the .bash_profile file in root directory..

This is because a hidden file. List the hidden files with "ls -a" command.If it is not exist, create it.

Additionally, you can search it by the command "find / -name .bash_profile"

Hi,

Do u try command ls -lar ?

Btw, are u doing sap installation? If yes, u just need to export java_home as root and java_home will added to sidadm profile.
