retrieving OMERO configuration variable from python shell

[bhcho]

Hi,


I know how to set the OMERO configuration variables.

bin/omero config set <param> <value>
bin/omero config get <param>

But I'd like to retrieve OMERO configuration variable from my python app.
can anyone help me?

That depends on your context. As the values held there regularly contain sensitive configuration values, you cannot ask for any properties unless you are in the system group. If you are, and certain values like omero.db.name, omero.db.password, etc. are completely restricted and cannot be accessed remotely, then you can use IConfig as documented:

http://hudson.openmicroscopy.org.uk/job ... onfig.html

For example:

Code: Select all

import omero
client = omero.client('localhost')
try:
    session = client.createSession('root', 'secret')
    print session.getConfigService().getConfigValue('omero.data.dir')
finally:
    client.closeSession()

thanks,

I could get

Code: Select all

-bash-3.2$ omero config get OMERO_HOME
/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxx

however,

Code: Select all

config = session.getConfigService()
config.getConfigValue('OMERO_HOME')


gives errors

Is that user in the system group? If it is then that's a property that we don't clients to retrieve.
