Environment variables
Adaptive Server Anywhere uses a set of environment variables to store
various types of information. Not all variables need to be set in all
circumstances. These environment variables are listed in this section.
Setting environment variables
The way you set an environment variable depends on the operating system
you are using.
v To set an environment variable (Windows NT):
1 Right click on My Computer and select Properties from the popup menu.
2 Click the Environment tab. If the environment variable does not already
exist, type variable and its value in the spaces provided, and click Set.
If the variable does exist, select it from the list of System Variables or
User Variables, and make any modifications in the Value field. Click Set
to make the setting.
v To set an environment variable (UNIX):
♦ In one of your startup files (
.cshrc
,
.shrc
,
.login
), add a line that sets the
variable.
In some shells (such as sh, bash, ksh) the line is as follows:
export VARIABLE=value
In other shells (such as csh, tsch) the line is as follows:
setenv VARIABLE value
ASTMP environment variable
ASTMP=
directory-name
None.
The database server checks the value of the ASTMP environment variable to
determine where to hold the temporary file. If the ASTMP environment
variable does not exist, then the first of the TMP, TMPDIR, and TEMP
environment variables to exist is used.
