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 instances controlled by MFDS.
Environment variables set at the enterprise server instance level apply to the instance only.

You can set environment variables from the Enterprise Server Administration user interface, or from the command line.
