The adaptor requires environment variables to execute application commands. In the adaptor templates, environment variables are listed in the <env> elements in the <template> section of the XML file.
For example, for the ClearCaseBaseline adaptor, the following environment variables are listed in the ClearCaseBaseline.xml file:
<template> <!-- Template section, these are parsed out of the final xml. Use the list below to help identify the variables needed to run this interface if you are integrating it during a regular BuildForge step. --> <env name="VIEW" value="my_adaptor_view" /> <env name="VOB_PATH" value="\AdaptorVob" /> <env name="CCSERVER" value="BFServerName" /> </template>
In Build Forge, environment variables are stored in environments. Before creating an adaptor, you create an environment for application environment variables.
