Setting the BMC_HOME Environment Variable
The BMC_HOME environment variable specifies the fully qualified path
to the following components of the Database Administration server:
• PATROL DB-Administration runtime libraries
• executable files
• server scripts and templates
• configuration files
• message files
Except for the configuration file, these files remain constant. You can
mount BMC_HOME through NFS on any licensed server to share the
executables, distributed scripts, and libraries.
BMC_HOME is used by
patroldb (a command that is used to start, stop,
and query a Database Administration server)
, the Database
Administration server, and the scheduler processes to find the installed
runtime libraries and other support files. The value of BMC_HOME is
determined by
patroldb based on its current path. You can override this
value by exporting BMC_HOME.
Table 3-2 illustrates how to set the BMC_HOME environment variable
for your operating system (OS). The v.r variable in this table refers to the
version and release numbers.
