Description:

This step creates and initializes an environment variable on the application server.

Usage:

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “setEnvironmentVariablesDef” example.          

• Create a new definition called “setEnvironmentVariablesDef”
• Select the definition and click the “design” button
• Drag a “setEnvironmentVariables” step and “readEnvironmentVariables” from the toolbox
• Connect the dots between the Start and other steps as above
• Define a variable/global to store the result after execution
• Click the "setEnvironmentVariables" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name to the step. Click on the button to configure environmental variable mappings. 

• A popup window is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row button to insert an empty row. Provide the environment variable and value. Click the Save button. You may insert multiple environment variables using the Add Row button. 

• The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

• Click the "readEnvironmentVariables" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name to the step. Click the button to configure environmental variable mappings. 

• A popup window is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row button to insert an empty row. Provide the environment variable and value. Click the Save button. You may insert multiple environment variables using the Add Row button. 

• The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

• Save the process definition, create a new instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click the “readEnvironmentVariables” process step to view the properties. The step should get the environment variable value set by the “setEnvironmentVariables” process step.

Create or modify environment variables on Windows 10:

• On the Windows taskbar, right-click the Windows icon and select System.
• In the Settings window, under Related Settings, click Advanced system settings.

• On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables and the new variable the step has added will be shown on the list. 

Definition Sample:

You may download the sample definition(s) from the link here and later import it (drag-drop) to your FlowWright Process Definition (XML file) or Form Definition (HTML file) page.

NOTE: Please verify and complete the process steps for any missing configurations, such as file path references and database connections after import. Then, save the definition to confirm the changes.
