Setting Environmental Variables
The default behavior of TapeTrack programs can be changed by setting environmental variable.
These environmental variable can be set using the following methods.
Windows Command Line
<sxh text;> set VARIABLE=VALUE </sxh>
Where VARIABLE is the environmental variable name, and VALUE is the environmental variable value.
PowerShell
To set an environmental variable in Windows PowerShell, use the env: command.
<sxh> $env:TMSSREPORTFORMAT = “CSV” </sxh>
Using a variable $TMSSREPORTFORMAT = “CSV” will not be interpreted as a Windows variable and will not be applied to the output.
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 environmental variable name, and VALUE is the environmental variable value.
You can also prepend the environmental 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>
