Configuring the Agent Controller's execution environment

The configuration file has the ability to customize the execution environment of the Agent Controller. This is done by defining <Variable> elements in the configuration file. Variables may be configured to either replace the default environment inherited at start time or to augment the environment. Environment changes that are applied to the Agent Controller are also inherited by the processes that the Agent Controller launches.

To specify the execution environment in the configuration file:

  1. Locate the serviceconfig.xml configuration file. See the related task.
  2. Open it in an editor, and search for the <AgentControllerEnvironment> element.
  3. Specify the execution environment that you want for the Agent Controller by either modifying or adding <Variable> child elements.

Note: Any number of <Variable> elements can be added to the environment.  The rules are processed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
