Set Up Java Environment Variable Path

Environmental variables are used by the operating system to save settings (default values, locations of resources) to be used by Windows or by processes launched by users.
There are two types of environmental variables:
  • User Variables : Specific to a particular Windows user account
  • System variables : For all the user of the machine
Most of the times these variables are usually defined and initialized automatically when you install the system or other applications like JDK but there are situations in which the user must manually define them. You can also do a check on this that the system variables for Java is automatically set or not.
Testing is done by opening command prompt. Go to Start and type cmd in the Run and hit Enter. It will launch the Command Prompt. Now type ‘javac‘:
If there is no system variable to indicate where to look for the this executable, the system will give an error like:
The solution to this problem is Set Up Java Environment Variable Path given by setting the system variables:JAVA_HOME, PATH and CLASSPATH:


How to Set Up Java Environment System Variable/Path on Windows

After you’ve installed the Java Environment Kit (JDK) in Windows, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JDK installation directory.

Step 1: Setting the JAVA_HOME Variable

1) Open the Control Panel -> System or Security –> System; the same thing can be done by right-clicking on ‘MyComputer’ and choosing Properties.
Java_Environment_Path_1
2) Choose ‘Advanced system settings‘.
Java_Environment_Path_2
3) Under the Advanced tab Choose the ‘Environment Variable…‘ option.
Java_Environment_Path_3
4) Select New In the System variables.
Java_Environment_Path_4
5) Define the Variable name as ‘JAVA_HOME‘ and Variable value as ‘C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45‘ (for this example JDK version 1.8.0 was installed in ‘C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45‘ folder; if needed, modify this value to reflect the real location).
Java_Environment_Path_5
Note: Look at the previous chapter ‘Install the Java Development Kit’ to check the location of the JDK installation.

Step 2: Setting the PATH Variable

6) Now we need to specify the location in the PATH variable. For PATH, most probably it will already exists in your machine. So just select it and choose the Edit option.
Java_Environment_Path_6
7) In the editor add the value ‘;%JAVA_HOME%\bin‘ or ‘;C:Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin‘
Java_Environment_Path_7
Note: The new values are separated by a semicolon from the existing ones and be carefull and do not make any changes in the existing string, as it is a very sensitive information.

8) Now go to Start and type cmd in the Run and hit Enter. It will launch the Command Prompt. Type ‘java -version‘, it will display the following information.
Java_Environment_Path_8
Or type ‘javac‘ it will return the following Java Information:
Note: Restart the computer in order to make your system aware of these changes or restart the system once you are done with the complete Appium installation process.

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because  JMeter  allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

SSO with SAML login scenario in JMeter

SAML(Security Assertion Markup Language) is increasingly being used to perform single sign-on(SSO) operations. As WikiPedia puts it, SAML is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, in particular, between an identity provider and a service provider. With the rise in use of SAML in web applications, we may need to handle this in JMeter. This step-by-step tutorial shows SAML JMeter scenario to perform login operation. First request from JMeter is a GET request to fetch Login page. We need to fetch two values ‘SAMLRequest’ and ‘RelayState’ from the Login page response data. We can do this by using  Regular Expression Extractor . These two values need to be sent in POST request to service provider. Refer below image to see how to do this. We will get an HTML login page as a response to the request sent in 1st step. We need to fetch values of some hidden elements to pass it in the next request. We...

VBScript Code - Function to convert CSV file into excel and viceversa in QTP using VBScript

We at times are required to convert excel files into csv to read as flat files and sometime require to convert a csv file into excel file to use excel features on the data.   Below function shows how to convert an csv file into excel file and vice versa. We can also convert to other formats based on constants Here constant value 23 is used to create a csv file and constant -4143 to save a file as xls file. Once the destination file is created, we can delete the source file as shown below.  In case of any issue in understanding the code, please add in comment section Call func_ConversionCSVExcel("E:\Test.csv", "E:\Test_converted.xls", "csvtoexcel") Public Function func_ConversionCSVExcel(strSrcFile, strDestFile, Conversion) on error resume next Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application") set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strSrcFile) objExcel.application.visible=false objExcel.application.displayalerts=...
