How to solve Can't find symbol error?
I am trying to use a Java program provided by IBM . See code below. When I try to compile this program,
C:\Temp>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin\javac.exe" GetOrphanMyFolde
rs.java
I am getting the error
GetOrphanMyFolders.java:96: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable PropEnum
location: class GetOrphanMyFolders
PropEnum.canBurst ,
^
GetOrphanMyFolders.java:97: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable PropEnum
location: class GetOrphanMyFolders
PropEnum.capabilities ,
^
I am a Java noob, what is the reason for this error? The program I'm using is here

The sample GetOrphanMyFolders.java
uses classes defined in external libraries (like jars), which should be available in Cognos 8 SDK
(usually under C8_INSTALLATION_DIR/sdk/lib
), I believe you should search cognosClient.jar
oraxisCognosClient.jar
Since you are new to java it will be tricky to compile this with javac
and add external jars to the classpath. I would recommend that you use eclipse
After downloading / installing (just unzip any directory you like) create New Java Project
, add GetOrphanMyFolders.java
to package src
(copy / paste or drag / drop). Then see this question to see how you can add libraries to your project path.
It will be much easier than figuring out how to do it with javac -cp

The problem is that the cognos banner is currently invisible. Hence, the compiler cannot resolve references to classes that are packaged in this jar.
You can find axisCognosClient.jar in the cognos installation directory
%COGNOS_INSTALL_DIR%/c8/webapps/p2pd/WEB-INF/lib
Include this directory in your classpath when compiling. This jar includes all the classes that you reference in the import statements.

As a rule, the first reported errors are significant. By fixing them, everything will be fixed. If the first errors look something like this: GetOrphanMyFolders.java:19: error: com.cognos.developer package does not exist import com.cognos.developer. *; ^
Then you need to follow some IBM instructions to download these packages and add them to your classpath.
If you already downloaded try http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21343429

You are initializing an array of properties of type PropEnum. Maybe PropEnum does not have canBurst and capabilities defined as an attribute.
Just try removing the spaces between {PropEnum.canBurst, PropEnum.capabilities,} in {PropEnum.canBurst, PropEnum.capabilities,}. Whitespace shouldn't be a problem.
