Environment Variable Changes

CA Gen Release 8.5 includes two new Windows environment variables, %GEN85% and %GEN85JRE%. These environment variables mimic the two new environment variables that were introduced with CA Gen 8.0.

%GEN85%

Specifies the location of the root directory for the CA Gen installation. This environment variable contains a trailing delimiter, such as c:\Program Files\CA\Gen 85\. Use %GEN85%Gen to refer to the \Gen subdirectory. Using %GEN85% makes this environment variable unique from previous CA Gen installations, and supports Side-by-Side installations.

%GEN85JRE%

Specifies the installation directory for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Using %GEN85JRE% makes this environment variable unique from previous CA Gen installations, and supports Side-by-Side installations.

The installation will set GEN85JRE if a 32-bit JRE is already installed on the system. If only a 64-bit JRE is installed, the installation will not set GEN85JRE, because CA Gen Studio and the Diagram Trace Utility will not work with a 64-bit JRE.

On 64-bit Windows, %GEN85JRE% should be set to a 32-bit JRE.

On UNIX/Linux platforms, CA Gen Release 8.5 includes one new environment variable, $IEFJRE.

$IEFJRE

Specifies the installation directory for the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
