JR59141: IN THE DOCUMENTATION THE -AUTHFILE PARAMETERS IS LISTED BY MISTAKE.

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• The ProcessEnvVariables.bat or ProcessEnvVariables.sh scripts
  can be run using two ways of parameters:
  1. command-line parameters
  2. configuration file
  as per documentation.
  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZJPZ_11.5.0/com.ib
  m.swg.im.iis.mdwb.doc/topics/t_importingProjectLevelEnvironmentV
  ariables.html .
  
  The parameter -authfile is invalid for the ProcessEnvVariables
  program.
  
  The same functionality is to use the -config parameter as per
  documentation.
  The configuration file should be coded as in the following
  example:
  -------------------------------
  HostNameForAuthentication=localhost
  PortNumber=9443
  User=isadmin
  Password=abc123
  --------------------------------
  
  Note: Instead of Password parameter, you can provide the
  EncryptedPassword parameter.
  
  In the documentation the -authfile parameters is listed by
  mistake and will be removed. Also we plan to add the example of
  the configuration file.
  

Local fix

• The same functionality is to use the -config parameter as per
  documentation.
