Kiwiplan - MAP Variables

Kiwiplan software uses several environmental variables within the Unix structure. 

Knowing these variables will provide a better understanding of the directory structure during setup of Kiwiplan software.

These variable settings are located in the files:

$HOME/.profile à /KIWI/site/bin/profile.?????

/KIWI/site/bin/stdprofile

$DATA/PROFILE or $WORK/PROFILE

Environment variables point to individual directories and give a shortcut to the Kiwiplan software.

Below is a listing of all directory variables.

{DRIVE}             = any location                :folder or drive location

$KIWI                 = /{drive}/kiwi               :contains the kiwi environment

$REV                   = /KIWI/revisions

$COMMSDIR     = /KIWI/work/cscomm  :contains comms logs & audit trails

$PLANTBIN       = /KIWI/site/00xx/bin   :contains plant specific menu scripts

$SITEBIN            = /KIWI/site/bin             :contains site specific menu scripts

$PLANTDAT       = /KIWI/site/dat             :contains plant .MNU, .TOG files

$SITEDAT           = /KIWI/site/dat             :contains .MNU, .TOG files

$DATA      ISAM= /KIWI/data_a              :contains revision data files & indexes

$DATA      SQL  = /KIWI/site_sql             :contains revision data files

$WORK              = /KIWI/usr/work          :contains all user .TM and .LS files

$SCP                    = /KIWI/kiwi/scp           :contains revision specific scripts

$PROGS              = /KIWI/kiwi/progs       :contains all program files for revision

$BIN                    = /KIWI/kiwi/bin           :contains unix specific scripts

$UFD                    = /KIWI/kiwi/ufd           :contains data file definitions

$TOOLS             = /KIWI/site/tools          :contains admin tools & menus

$SCRIPTS           = /KIWI/site/SCRIPTS :contains homemade scripts

 

NOTE:  Some sites use a different base directory for the Kiwiplan software.

Examples: $KIWI may be /usr/kiwi or /kiwi/kiwi.

 

Environmental variables are used to set up the user’s environment, meaning which data, menu, etc… they access when logging in.  Below is a list of basic environment variables.

EXEC                  = executes a program or script, which in turn will call a specific .MNU file.

                             Example:  ”kiwimenu menu=csc00”

 

DATA                  = which data the user will access when logging in.

                             Example:  data_a or site_sql

 

 

TERM                 = what terminal type the user will default to when logging in.

                             Example:  vt220, vt100, & ansi

 

KIWISEA            = the search path for Kiwiplan environment.

 

UNIX PATH        = the UNIX executing search path.

 

To view what each variable is set to, use the echo command.  Example= echo $TERM will tell what terminal emulation is being used.  Below is a directory tree layout to better show the variable locations and directory contents.
