Re: Team filters / commands with environment variables

I do not see anything in the documentation or UI that would suggest that 
there is any support for variables in filter definitions, so I guess you 
will need to log an enhancement in FRED.

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/products/fred/fred.html

There is support for environment variables in RSE.  However, from what I 
can tell, the purpose of this feature is to allow environment variables to 
be set within the job for the connection to the remote server, on that 
server.  Presumably this is in case you have code you plan to run within 
those jobs that requires those variables to be set.

Just some thoughts ....

If you set your developer's CURLIB() in their profiles to this dev 
library, then you could define filters that reference *CURLIB that would 
then work for all developers.  As for your program that sets the library 
list, why not just have one program with a common name that does a 
RTVUSRPRF to get the developers ID and then either calls the appropriate 
program or has the logic within.  I guess you could also just name the 
program something like SETLIBL and put it in the library that would be 
their CURLIB() and let the *LIBL handle calling the right program.

Not a perfect solution by any stretch.

variables


Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to use an environment variable when 
specifying a command to run, or when specifying filter names.   I would 
like to setup team filters for all of our developers to prevent them 
having to go through the trouble of setting up their own filters, but 
obviously I would not want to hard-code their user names into the library 
names.  Currently our developers libraries are their initials + the 
version of our software (i.e. library DWC334 would be my development 
library for version 3.3.4 of our software).  I would somehow like to 
specify in the team filters to use library  %INT%334  and set an 
environment variable in Windows (or WDSC if even possible) to say that 
%INT% is DWC on this machine...  Also I would like to do the same for 
iSeries commands - we have a program that I wrote for the developers which 

you can call with "DWC334" as the parameter and it automatically builds 
the library list for my development environment for that version.  They 
simply pass their own initials and the version and their library list is 
built right away.

Does anyone know how to do this??

Thanks,
Dean
