Creating an Environment for Adaptor Dot Commands

Use this method if you are adding the adaptor to a project using an adaptor dot command.

For this task, you need the environment variables for your adaptor.

In the <adaptor_name>.xml file, external environment variables are listed in the <template>/<env> elements.

Locate adaptor templates in the following directory:

<bf-install>\interface
  1. Select Projects > Environments .
  2. Click Add Environment.
  3. At Name, enter the environment name. Assign a name that describes the purpose of the environment.
  4. At Access, select an access group. The ability to view or edit the environment is restricted to group members only.
  5. Click Save Environment.
  6. Click Add Environment Variable.
  7. At Name, enter the environment variable name as it appears in the XML <env> element.
  8. At Value, change the substitution variable in the XML <env> element to a real value for your application.

    If you do not know the correct value, you can enter it later.

  9. At Action, select Set.
  10. At On Project, select Normal.
