Environment Variables

CA Workload Automation AE is controlled by the environment variables and the configuration parameters that you enter using the CA Workload Automation AE Administrator. The configuration parameters are stored in the configuration file. The environment variables are stored in the Windows Registry. The only exceptions are the LOGROLLOVER and ISDBGACTIV environment variables, which are stored in the configuration file.

You can view the environment variables on the System - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window. These settings are defined when you open the CA Workload Automation AE instance command prompt. You can modify or add to these standard environment variables. These settings reflect the basic information used when you run the CA Workload Automation AE components. You can prevent potential problems by properly setting the required environment variables in every user's environment and configuring CA Workload Automation AE correctly.

The System - CA Workload Automation AE Administrator window displays the following environment variables:

ASB_INSTANCE

Identifies a unique CA Workload Automation AE broker instance name. This environment variable is used by the cross-platform interface of CA Workload Automation AE. CA, Inc. Common Communications Interface (CAICCI) uses this name to identify the scheduling manager or agent when communicating with remote mainframe instances.

AUTOROOT

Identifies the top-level CA Workload Automation AE directory.

Note: On UNIX, the equivalent environment variable is $AUTOROOT.

AUTOSERV

Identifies the instance ID, which is a three-character uppercase alphanumeric ID that identifies a CA Workload Automation AE server installation on a particular computer. By default, the instance ID is ACE. You cannot change this ID using CA Workload Automation AE Administrator. To change the instance ID, you must uninstall CA Workload Automation AE and reinstall it using the new ID.

Note: On UNIX, the equivalent environment variable is $AUTOSERV.

AUTOSYS

Identifies the path of the CA Workload Automation AE software.

Note: On UNIX, the equivalent environment variable is $AUTOSYS.

AUTOUSER

Identifies the path of the CA Workload Automation AE user's directory. This directory contains the user configuration files, scheduler output files, encryption files, and archive output files generated during database maintenance.

Notes:

A folder named audit is created in the AUTOUSER folder when you access CA EEM using the as_safetool or autosys_secure command. The audit folder contains the CA EEM audit files and log files.
On UNIX, the equivalent environment variable is $AUTOUSER.

ISDBGACTIV

Identifies the debug level to use. The valid values are LIGHT, HEAVY, JOB, DUMP, AFM, DBQUERY, EXTVJ, COMM, MS, GBE, and DCAM.

Default: OFF

Note: For more information about how CA Workload Automation AE interprets the ISDBGACTIV values, see the Administration Guide.

LOGROLLOVER

Identifies when the scheduler, application server, or aggregator log rolls over. The log can roll over at midnight or when the log file size is equal to the specified size. The valid values are OFF, SIZE(x), MIDNIGHT, and SIZE(x),MIDNIGHT.

Default: MIDNIGHT

Notes:

If you do not specify a value for the SIZE(x) parameter, it is set to 100 MB by default. The scheduler, application server, or aggregator log rolls over when the log file size reaches 100 MB.
For more information about the LOGROLLOVER environment variable, see the Administration Guide.

PATH

Identifies the path of the CA Workload Automation AE utilities. This path is appended to the system path at runtime.

PRIMARYCCISYSID

Identifies the aliased CAICCI system ID specified in the ccirmtd configuration file. This environmental variable is used by the cross-platform interface of CA Workload Automation AE. It allows the agents to transfer event data to either a primary or a shadow scheduler when running in high availability mode.

Note: You can modify these environment variable settings. You must restart the scheduler and application server for the settings to take effect.
