Formatting dates in Linux for sensible log file names

I like to make my log filenames have date stamps and so in my shell scripts I typically will create a log file name at the start of the script:

# Create name for log file
timenow=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
logfilename="utils-${timenow}.log"

and the time will now be included in the log filename.

You can remove the %S to take off the seconds if you want.

New environment changes to use UploadJars

When you set up a new environment, your UploadJars.sh file won't work until you set up your environment properly.  Here is what to do:

Make sure you already have set:

MW_HOME
JAVA_HOME
OIM_ORACLE_HOME

Then set the following environment variables:

APPSERVER_TYPE=wls
APP_SERVER=weblogic
