The following table describes the set of environment variables the Implementation Toolset requires.

Name

Description

AEPATH

Search path for executable load modules.

A set of semicolon-delimited directory paths indicate the search order for the user's aeenv file and inqload directory, allowing the Build Tool and AEFN to reference multiple directories for test and production applications in specific order. Ensure that %GENxx%Gen\yy is in AEPATH. You must use the following format:

AEPATH=[directory_1;directory_2;...directory_n;%GENxx%Gen\yy]

Note: xx refers to the current release of CA Gen. For the current release number, see the Release Notes.

Note: yy refers to the compiler version folder which will be used when executing the Implementation Toolset. For example, VS100\amd64.
