What is $PROJDEF ? How do I create it using DS Administrator and then use it in my Server jobs?

Thanks

Welcome aboard! :D

There are three special tokens that can be used as the default value for an environment variable set up via the Administrator client.
$PROJDEF picks the value up from what was set in the Administrator client.

$ENV picks the value up from the executing user's environment.

$UNSET explicitly unsets the variable (useful for those "testing" on/off environment variables)

You should look at the FAQ Forum. It tells you all about it. Here is the link: viewtopic.php?t=92038

Hi Pj,
Datastage retrieves the latest value for the environmental variable available in the project which you might have set though administrator client thorough $PROJDEF.
Ans this is not as such created in Administrator.
