There are a number of environment variables that define values for some of the key directories in PAS for OpenEdge:

  • CATALINA_HOME: The root directory where you install PAS for OpenEdge. The installed server is often referred to as the PAS for OpenEdge installation directory. The CATALINA_HOME/bin directory contains all of the PAS for OpenEdge executables, including catalina.{sh|bat}, which is a script that is responsible for starting and stopping the server.
  • CATALINA_BASE: The root directory of a run-time instance of the PAS for OpenEdge installation. If you have a number of instances, then the value of CATALINA_BASE differs for each individual instance. However, the value of CATALINA_HOME is the same for all instances of a PAS for OpenEdge installation.
  • CATALINA_TMPDIR: The temporary file directory of the PAS for OpenEdge installation.
  • CATALINA_PID: The path of the file holding the process ID for the Catalina Java startup process. Unlike Tomcat, PAS for OpenEdge enables the use for this variable in both UNIX and Windows systems.
Note: CATALINA_OUT is not supported in PAS for OpenEdge. To change the location of Catalina log files:
  1. In ~/conf/appservers.properties, change the catalina.logging.folder property to the desired output path.
  2. In ~/conf/openedge.properties, add the output path to the agentLogFile property.
