Hi,

Could any one please let me know how do i add the variables like $APT_DEBUG_OPERATOR, $APT_DEBUG_PARTIOTION in the administrator by default I am not able to find it. and are they all applicable for the parallel jobs?

Thanks,
Waseem

Just... type them in as User Defined variables.

Thanks for the post chulett. However, these are the environment variables used to start the debugger. but when i check in the administrator these variables are missing. So, I wanted to know how do i add these system defined environment variables?

Thanks

Just... type them in as User Defined variables.

DS Admin, select Project, Properties, Environment, User-Defined, type in the last row.

well these are not user defined variables but environment variable(something similar to $APT_CONFIG_FILE), which i want to use in my job.

Actually, they are 'user defined'. And you, the user, need to define them in your environment. Rather than argue, suggest you just give it a try.

Hey Chulett and deanwalker first Apologies if you felt i was arguing. My first understanding was they are system defined. anyways, let me try to define them and check. Ill post the result what i get when i am done.

No worries, that probably wasn't the best choice of words. Debating, discussing... whatever, just get on in there and give it a whirl. :wink:
