IJ32291: LIBNGJAVA NOT EXPANDING THE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following is in the props file:
  
  ConfigKeyFile
  '$OMNIHOME/etc/passwdkey.key' not found.
  
  However, the
  $OMNIHOME variable isn't being expanded so the file is not
  found.
  

Local fix

• The workaround is to specify the full path to the file

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users who deploy gateways eg. JDBC Gateway, XML Gateway that *
  * uses the libngjava library module.                           *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If the user defines an environment variable for the property *
  * value, the environment variable is not expanded and used as  *
  * it is. This causes error in the gateway application.         *
  *                                                              *
  * Example:                                                     *
  * # echo $LIBNGJAVA_TESTING                                    *
  * /root                                                        *
  *                                                              *
