On our EE server, we've created a new APT_CONFIG file such that we now have two files - the original version and the new version. In one of our projects, we have modified the project default for the $APT_CONFIG_FILE to point to this new file.

Will jobs within this project that do not add the $APT_CONFIG_FILE variable to the list of variables end up using the new file pointed to by the project default or the original server default configuration file?

Thanks!

If the project default has been updated, then any job that does not explicitly specify a config file will use the project default. If, however, a job DOES specify APT_CONFIG_FILE as one of its parameters, then that value will override the project default.

Hope this helps.

The pathname specified by the APT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, wherever it is set, will be used to specify the configuration file with which a parallel job is run.

So...am I correct in understanding that the $APT_CONFIG_FILE value set up as the project default will be used by a job even when that environment variable is not explicitly added to the list of variables used by the job?

Yes.
