An environment is a named set of variables.
Once defined, environments are available to do the following:
- Set variables to be used by steps in jobs. Environments can be
assigned to servers, projects, and steps. During job execution, a
running step inherits variable values from all three environments:
- server environment associated with the server where the job is
running
- project environment associated with the project where the step
is defined
- step environment associated explicitly with the step
- Set variables to be used by scheduled jobs. An environment set
for a scheduled job replaces the environment specified for the project.
- Set variables to be used by adaptors. An environment can be assigned
to an adaptor link. It is used by the initial adaptor step of the
project.
