An environment is a named set of variables.
Once defined, environments are available to do the following:
- Set variables for steps to be used by jobs. Environments
are assigned to servers, projects, and steps. During job execution,
a running step inherits variable values from the following three environments:
- The server environment where the job runs.
- The project environment where the step is defined.
- The step environment associated 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.
