Environment variables for the classic AppServer are set in the $DLC/properties/ubroker.properties file in a section similar to the following:

[Environment.asbroker1]
TESTENV=MYEN

In PAS for OpenEdge, you do not set environment variables in configuration files like ubroker.properties on the classic AppServer. Instead, you set environment variables using these methods:

  • At the application level — Define a myenv_setenv.{sh|bat} script, and place it in the instance-name/bin directory.
  • For individual settings — Add a proset.env file to the $WRKDIR. In the proset.env file, set any environment variables your application needs.
Note: On UNIX platforms, your myenv_setenv.sh script does need not be marked executable. You must EXPORT any environment variables defined in that script so other processes can use them.
