Define Environment Variables

The Implementation Toolset uses environment variables to specify paths and other configuration information necessary to install and use CA Gen applications. The environment variables set up macros, or aliases, referenced in several places, including MAKE files, source code, and script files. Each user's .login file must set the variables to ensure they are properly set during system logon, before invoking the Build Tool or the AEFN.

To display the current environment, use the set command. To view the current value of an environment variable, use the echo command as shown in the following example:

echo %AEPATH%
