Setting Environment Variables

Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.

You can use Enterprise Server environment variables to configure a wide range of settings to be used by enterprise server instances. You can set environment variables to apply to all server instances running on an installation, or to apply to specific server instances only. You can also use environment variables to allocate datasets.

Environment variables set at the Micro Focus Directory Server (MFDS) level apply to all enterprise server regions controlled by MFDS.
Environment variables defined as part of the enterprise server region configuration apply to that region only.
Note: You can set some environment variables on the Advanced Region Properties page in ESCWA. The environment variable topic indicates this when it is an option.
Environment variables set at a command prompt apply to the enterprise server region started from the same prompt.
