How do I set a database connection's password to use an environment variable. I cannot add these to the kettle.properties file (security policy). When I click control-space on OSX, nothing happens. If I try and paste the string ${PASSWORD} directly into the password field, it does not allow it, due to the presumably non-alphanumeric '$' char.
The other fields as shown below work fine.
The EDIT Connection dialog below shows the field in red, which is what I want to achieve logically.
Using PDI Community 8.2, on Mac OSX Mojave.
I found one solution. Instead of creating the DB connection in Table Input Step with Edit or New, I used the Wizard option, which allowed me to paste ${SOURCE_DB_PASSWORD} variable into the password field.
The characters were obfuscated, so it's impossible to tell if you have the correct value, but it worked.
CTRL+V doesn’t work, you need to right-click and choose paste.
You can encrypt the password and save it on kettle.properties, in spoon directory execute:
Encr.bat -kettle yourpassword
Paste the full result with "Encrypted" in the properties file, restart spoon and test the connection.
In OSX, I believe you need to use the shortcut shift + cmd + space to access the environment variables.
You might need to use the 'get variables'-step to define the variables from kettle.properties.
Just type ${Variable_Name} as you are defining for other environment variable. If open your .ktr file in Notepad++ you can see the value is your Variable_Name instead of Encrypted password. It worked for me :)

I am new to postgres, probably missing something silly like (the correct name of my directory). Can someone guide me?
I am following book instructions, Practical SQL by Anthony DeBarros
Code:
copy us_counties_2010 from 'C:\Users\obella\OneDrive\Desktop\us_counties_2010.csv' with (FORMAT CSV, HEADER);
Error:
ERROR: could not open file
"C:\Users\obella\OneDrive\Desktop\us_counties_2010.csv" for reading:

copy us_counties_2010 from
'C:\Users\obella\OneDrive\Desktop\us_counties_2010.csv' with (FORMAT
CSV, HEADER);
Expected:
Query returned successfully: 3143 rows affected
Actual:

Permission denied HINT: COPY FROM instructs the PostgreSQL server
process to read a file. You may want a client-side facility such as
psql's \copy. SQL state: 42501
All that is to be done is:
Go to Properties of that particular file by right clicking on it. Then, go to Security tab of the displayed Properties dialog box. Click on Edit option. Permissions dialog box appears, then click on Add button. Type 'Everyone' (without apostrophes) in the "Enter the object names to select" description box and click on OK button. Then, make sure all the checkboxes of "Permissions for Everyone" are selected by just ticking the "Full Control" check box to allow the control access without any restriction. Then, Apply and OK all the tabs to apply all the changes done.
You can now run/execute the query without any errors.
As the message tells you, Postres is not allowed to read the file.
If you want to fix that open the Task Manager, and click on "Show processes from all users". Look for the rows with the image name postgres.exe (likely more than one). Remember the value in the column "User Name" (it's probably NETWORK SERVICE). Open the properties of your file, add that user in the "Security" tab and grant read access to them.
Or use psql's \copy as the message suggests.
copy us_counties_2010 (your column name)//(country_code, latitude, longitude, country, population)
FROM 'D:\us_counties_2010 .csv' DELIMITER ',' csv HEADER
Your csv file should be in other than C drive. It can't access your C drive. Store it in D drive or any other it will work perfect.
Change the Location of data file and path to Drive['D:\us_counties_2010.csv' ] it will work.
The permission is denied because your files[us_counties_2010.csv] is in 'C' Drive ['C:\Users\obella\OneDrive\Desktop\us_counties_2010.csv'] which is a Windows Drive and permissions are restricted and may not be changed easily & impossible without administrative privileges.
Good Luck & happy programming!
If you are using PSQL, run it as administrator, then you shouldn't have any problem when you are using COPY
In the case when creating a table as well as importing data from a CSV file, we can skip the query and use the program itself. To do this, simply right-click on your table in the tree on the left and select the Import/Export… menu item.
A window will appear with the slider set to Import. Then select the source file and set the format to CSV. Set the Header to Yes if your file has a header. The only thing left is to select the delimiter (usually a comma).
When you click OK, the data will be imported.
For a better understanding, you can refer original article.

copy us_counties_2010 from 'C:\Users\obella\OneDrive\Desktop\us_counties_2010.csv' with (FORMAT CSV, HEADER,DELIMITER ',');
Use this code instead of that
I am making a program that uses the rasidal command to connect to a VPN server. Obviously this requires a login and this is stored in a notepad file.
Process.Start("rasdial.exe", """VPN Connection"" HardcodedUSERNAME HardCodedPassword")
This seems to work fine, however when I read this information from a notepad file and write it to the screen they are still exactly the same. Why is it that the login could be incorrect.
All I am doing is
Process.Start("rasdial.exe", """VPN Connection"" & Info")
Thanks
Your variable "info" is never used. Try it out an remove the info-variable or rename it.
Do you have to double-quote "VPN Connection"? So try this one:
Process.Start("rasdial.exe", """VPN Connection"" " & Info)
And can you please tell me what your info-variable contains.
Yakuake provides a hotkey and a GUI way to rename commandline tabs/sessions.
I'd like to do the same via the command line, so I can script it and use it in an alias. (My goal is that if I use an alias which does an SSH to some server, then the tab is renamed according to this servers name...)
I tried the suggestions shown here Renaming a Konsole session from commandline after ssh so far no luck.
Since KDE4, one should use qdbus to control KDE apps (instead of deprecated and deleted DCOP).
For example, to change a title of the first session one may use:
qdbus org.kde.yakuake /Sessions/1 org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle 1 "New title"
To explore available interfaces, methods and properties one may use qdbusviewer.
As a homework try to get a list of active sessions (before you going to change smth).
Like #fgysin pointed out, his command also works for me. BUT it needs the ` character and not " for the subcommand :
qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions org.kde.yakuake.activeSessionId
It gives :
qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/tabs org.kde.yakuake.setTabTitle `qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/sessions org.kde.yakuake.activeSessionId` "NEW TAB TITLE";
I am pretty new to databases and also using the command prompt. I've been trying to create a database but first I believe I need to set the pg_hba.config file. When I open SQL shell it says"
Server [localhost]:
ENTER
Database[postgres]:
ENTER
Port [5432]:
ENTER
Username [postgres]:
ENTER
Password for user postgres:
And then it won't let me type anything there, so I'm not really sure what to do from here.
It looks like you're on Windows, and you're starting psql.
When you type the password it's receiving it, but it's just not showing the characters as a security measure. It's like replacing the characters with bullets.
Just type the password and press enter.
I am trying to set up some path using environment variable.
I added an environment variable "MAVEN_HOME" with the value "C:\maven".
Then in the path I added "%MAVEN_HOME%\bin;...rest".
When I type "echo $MAVEN_HOME%" I get the correct "C:\maven" printed on the screen.
But when I type "mvn" which is a batch file in the "bin" directory, it can't find it.
So, I manually added the entire path in PATH.
"C:\maven\bin;...rest"
and it was able to find "mvn" and execute it.
Could someone help me what I did wrong?
Check if there is a space character between the previous path and the next:
Incorrect:
c:\path1; c:\Maven\bin\; c:\path2\
Correct:
c:\path1;c:\Maven\bin\;c:\path2\
I had exactly the same problem, to solve it, you can do one of two things:
Put all variables in System Variables instead of User and add the ones you want to PATH
Or
Put all variables in User Variables, and create or edit the PATH variables in User Variable, not In System. The Path variables in System don't expand the User Variables.
If the above are all correct, but the problem is still present, you need to check the system Registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment, to make sure the "PATH" key type is REG_EXPAND_SZ (not REG_SZ).
My issue turned out to be embarrassingly simple:
Restart command prompt and the new variables should update
Things like having %PATH% or spaces between items in your path will break it. Be warned.
Yes, windows paths that include spaces will cause errors. For example an application added this to the front of the system %PATH% variable definition:
C:\Program Files (x86)\WebEx\Productivity Tools;C:\Sybase\IQ-16_0\Bin64;
which caused all of the paths in %PATH% to not be set in the cmd window.
My solution is to demarcate the extended path variable in double quotes where needed:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WebEx\Productivity Tools";C:\Sybase\IQ-16_0\Bin64;
The spaces are therefore ignored and the full path variable is parsed properly.
%M2% and %JAVA_HOME% need to be added to a PATH variable in the USER variables, not the SYSTEM variables.
If there is any error at all in the PATH windows will silently disregard it. Things like having %PATH% or spaces between items in your path will break it. Be warned
Also worth making sure you're using the command prompt as an administrator - the system lock on my work machine meant that the standard cmd just reported mvn could not be found when typing
mvn --version
To use click 'start > all programs > accessories', right-click on 'command prompt' and select 'run as administrator'.
To address this problem, I have used setx command which try to set user level variables.
I used below...
setx JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92"
setx PATH %JAVA_HOME%\bin
NOTE: Windows try to append provided variable value to existing variable value. So no need to give extra %PATH%... something like %JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
If the PATH value would be too long after your user's PATH variable has been concatenated onto the environment PATH variable, Windows will silently fail to concatenate the user PATH variable.
This can easily happen after new software is installed and adds something to PATH, thereby breaking existing installed software. Windows fail!
The best fix is to edit one of the PATH variables in the Control Panel and remove entries you don't need. Then open a new CMD window and see if all entries are shown in "echo %PATH%".
I had this problem in Windows 10 and it seemed to be solved after I closed "explorer.exe" in the Task Manager.
In my Windows 7.
// not working for me
D:\php\php-7.2.6-nts\php.exe
// works fine
D:\php\php-7.2.6-nts
I had the same problem, I fixed it by removing PATHEXT from user variable. It must only exist in System variable with .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC
Also remove the variable from user to system and only include that path on user variable
Copy the value of path to notepad and check if this corresponds with the echo %path% in terminal window and make changes if needed. Then delete the old path value and paste the notepad value back in.
I assume some invisible character entered there by some installation corrupted the path value.
Make sure both your System and User paths are set correctly.
