Environment variables

You can define these variables to affect the way Rational Synergy runs. The table shows environment variables that you can set..

Environment variable Required Use
AUTOMOUNT_FIX 

(UNIX only)

No Used to determine the portion of path names that should be stripped to support automounter usage. Not needed if the
/tmp_mnt prefix is used by the automounter. This variable is also used by SunOS automounter patch.
CCM_ADDR
No Specifies the remote function call (RFC) address (host:socket) for the Rational Synergy interface.
CCM_ENGLOG
No Used to redirect the engine log. If not set, the ccm_eng.log file in your Windows installation directory or UNIX home directory is used. The engine log file must be visible and writable by ccm_root.
CCM_HOME
No Specifies the Rational Synergy installation directory, typically C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\ Synergy\7.1 for a Windows client, and
/usr/local/ccm on UNIX.
CCM_PAGER

(UNIX only)

No Specifies the name of an executable used to display a file or report output using ccm monitor on UNIX. This takes preference over PAGER, if set.
CCM_UILOG
No Used to redirect the user interface log. If not set, the ccm_ui.log in your installation directory on Windows or home directory on UNIX is used.
DISPLAY

Yes Name of X display server; for example, unix:0.0.
HOME 

(UNIX only)

Yes Specifies your UNIX home directory.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/usr/lib/X11:/usr/openwin/lib

PAGER 

(UNIX only)

No Specifies the name of an executable used to display a file or report output using ccm monitor on UNIX.
PATH
Yes Specifies a list of directories used to search for executables.
PRINT_EDIT_CMD
No If this variable is set to a value, the model-defined editor method that is being used is displayed whenever the editor command is executed.
PRINT_TOOL_CMD
No If this variable is set to any value at all, the model-defined tool method (for example, debug, print, or execute) is displayed whenever the tool command is executed.

Note: Rational Synergy uses other variables starting with CCM_ or AC_ for internal diagnostic purposes. Do not set any such variables, nor INFORMIXDIR, INFORMIXSERVER, or ONCONFIG variables, unless you are told to do so by IBM Rational Software Support.
