Description
This file defines environment variables to be used when commands are executed at managed hosts in JP1/IM.
When you use automated actions and JP1/IM - View to execute commands on managed hosts in JP1/IM, you can specify environment variables as part of the execution environments for the commands. You can set environment variables by using environment variable files that are specified in the format described here.
An environment variable file can have any name. By creating multiple environment variable files, you can specify an appropriate file for each command that is to be executed.
If no applicable environment variable file is specified in a Windows environment, the system's environment variables are used for command execution.
You must enter a linefeed code at the end of each line.
The upper limit for one line is 1,023 bytes. If specifying multi-byte character code, encoding is the JP1/Base character code.
Do not specify character strings that are not in the format environment-variable-name=variable-value. If a specification is invalid, the command might terminate abnormally, depending on the OS on the host where the command is executed.
When the definitions are applied
An environment variable file is referenced when execution of a command begins.
Information that is specified
- environment-variable-name
-
Specify the name of an environment variable.
You cannot specify an environment variable that contains a linefeed character.
- variable-value
-
Specify a value for the environment variable.
The upper limit for one line is 1,023 bytes. Encoding for the environment variable file is the character code for the managed host on which commands are executed.
By specifying the system environment variable name as this value, you can inherit the system environment variable value.
If you specify a system environment variable, enclose the variable name in the character sequences <- and ->, such as <-variable->.
