Trying to run a Java application on your Mac and need to set your JAVAHOME? Follow the instructions below to quickly and easily do it:. Open Terminal. Confirm you have JDK by typing “which java”. It should show something like /usr/bin/java.
Check you have the needed version of Java, by typing “java -version”. JAVAHOME is essentially the full path of the directory that contains a sub-directory named bin which in turn contains the java. For Mac OSX – it is /Library/Java/Home. Set JAVAHOME using this command in Terminal: export JAVAHOME=/Library/Java/Home. echo $JAVAHOME on Terminal to confirm the path. You should now be able to run your application Note that this sets JAVAHOME only for this session.

(MAC OS X) Java JAR Archives and classpath. The JVM class loader can only find and use JAR archives that are listed in the classpath. There are several ways to add a JAR to the classpath: Copy the JAR to one of the directories listed in the CLASSPATH environment variable. Posted by Daniel Lanza on March 21, 2016. If you are planing to develop Java Apps on your Mac, you may have to set $JAVA_HOME environment variable.
If you want it to persist, you will have to add the command to your /.profile file.
Problem with SAP GUI for Java Few days ago I came across an issue, that I couldn’t open MS Office files via SAP GUI for Java for Mac OS X. This behavior I caught in SCASE and SCASEPS transactions, but maybe it also applies to other transactions (although I wasn’t successful to get the same error in SBWP speaking of attachments). So, returning to SCASE and SCASEPS transactions – when I tried to open MS Word file, attached to Case, I received error message (SBDV 071) “No temporary directory available for temporary storage”.
Firstly, I thought that the trouble is in SAP GUI Preferences for Applications, where Download and Upload directories are defined. But any changes is these settings did no effect to the problem. Seems, that this setting has no impact on my issue. So, secondly, I started debugging source code to get the place, where I receive message mentioned above (SBDV 071). I found that the problem was in results of CLGUIFRONTENDSERVICES=CLGUIFRONTENDSERVICES. It tried to get the value for parameter TEMP and it returned “space”.
Looking through SAP manuals , I discovered, that requested by system variable would receive “space” value only if Operating System didn’t have such variable. My third step was to look through MAC OS X 10.11 environment variables. To do it one needs to start terminal and use “env” command to list defined variables. I found that there was no TEMP variable, although there was TMPDIR variable, which is the same, as it seems to me. After discovery I decided to add TEMP variable to my Mac OS X configuration and see the results.
To skip few details I need to say that the results were positive – I was able to open MS Word document from SAP as it was downloaded in background to specified folder and opened by MS Word for Mac without any additions clicks from me. How To Set Environment Variables in Mac OS X As many people are using different versions of Mac OS X, I’m writing down information for 10.6 – 10.11 versions. OS X 10.6, 10.7 To set an environment variable, enter the following command. defaults write /.MacOSX/environment variable “value” To find out which environment variables have been set, enter the following command:. defaults read /.MacOSX/environment OS X 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 To set an environment variable, enter the following command:.
launchctl setenv variable “value” To find out if an environment variable is set, use the following command:. launchctl getenv variable To clear an environment variable, use the following command:. launchctl unsetenv variable. Hello Anton, did you find any documentation saying that these transactions need TEMP set in order to make opening downloaded files work? Neither on Linux nor on OS X, TEMP can be expected to be set.
To request a temp directory, CLGUIFRONTENDSERVICES provides GETTEMPDIRECTORY and the SAP GUIs can return an existing path. To me, it looks like it should not be the user’s task to make this work, but the ABAP code should be changed to make this work out of the box. You might want to consider opening a support message requesting to fix this in the ABAP code of those transactions.
Best regards Rolf-Martin. Hi, Rolf, Thanks for Your reply! Nope, I haven’t found any docs on this matter.
But I have found that in code, which is executed, the method GETTEMPDIRECTORY of class CLSRMSPBDV is called. Inside it there is a code for case WHEN srmifguitypejava: CALL METHOD clguifrontendservices=environmentgetvariable EXPORTING variable = ‘TEMP’ CHANGING value = ldirstr EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 99. So it’s always TEMP for Java GUI. Though my colleague told me that there is no such problem in Windows with Java GUI. Maybe it’s really a good idea to create a support message.
