Although you can define proprietary environment variables in the test client, Component Test Explorer, or by using command-line invocation, you can only define WebSphere® Application Server environment variables and JVM property environment variables in the IBM® Process Server administrative console.

Procedure

  1. If you want to define a WebSphere Application Server environment variable, complete the following steps:
    1. Launch the IBM Process Server administrative console.
    2. In the navigation tree, expand Environment and select WebSphere Variables. The WebSphere Variables page opens.
    3. Click New. The New page opens.
    4. In the Name field, type a name for the environment variable.
    5. In the Value field, type a value for the environment variable.
    6. Click OK and then save your changes.
    7. Restart the server.
  2. If you want to define a JVM property environment variable, complete the following steps:
    1. Launch the IBM Process Server administrative console.
    2. In the navigation tree, expand Servers and Server Types and then click WebSphere application servers. The WebSphere Application Servers page opens.
    3. Click the linked name of your server; for example, server1. The server page opens for your server.
    4. To the right of the server page, select Java and Process Management > Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine > Custom Properties. The Custom Properties page opens.
    5. Click New. The New page opens.
    6. In the Name field, type a name for the environment variable.
    7. In the Value field, type a value for the environment variable.
    8. Click OK and then save your changes.
    9. Restart the server.
