Setting Environmental Variables

The default behaviour of TapeTrack programs can be changed by setting environmental variables.

These variables can be set using the following methods.

Windows Command Line

<sxh plain;> set VARIABLE=VALUE </sxh>

Where VARIABLE is the variable name, and VALUE is the variable value.

Linux Shell

To set an environmental variable in the Linux operating system, use the export command.

<sxh plain;> export VARIABLE=VALUE </sxh>

Where VARIABLE is the variable name, and VALUE is the variable value.

You can also prepend the variable to the command.

<sxh plain;> TMSSREPORTFORMAT=CSV TMSS10Inventory </sxh>

TapeTrack Config File

The TapeTrack Config File that is loaded when each Desktop and Command Line Program is initiated, it can also be used to set environmental variable.

<sxh plain;>

 variables = {
     TMSSLEVELNAMES = "A,B,C";
     TMSSNOLEVELSLOT = "1";
 };

</sxh>
