NonStop Development Environment for Eclipse 4.0 Debugging Supplement

Specifying environment variables for OSS launch types
You can specify OSS environment variables for OSS launch types using the Environment tab
(Figure 5 (page 20)) of the Debug Configurations dialog. These environment variables are used
only for the shell session used with this debug configuration (they are not stored in your .profile
file, for example).
• To specify environment variables manually, select Set the following environment variables:
and enter them in the box exactly as you would if you were setting the environment variable
in the shell. Environment variables generally are in the format export name=value. Separate
variables by entering each variable on its own line.
• If you would like to use a set of environment variables that are stored in a file, you can select
Set environment variables contained in remote file: and either enter the full path and name of
the file in the box or click Browse... to locate and select the file.
NOTE: Enter environment variables exactly as you would set them in a shell. For example, if you
set the environment variable TESTMODE by entering:
TESTMODE=1
your setting will not be available to your application. Instead, you must enter:
export TESTMODE=1
TIP: You can also cut and paste to enter a set of variables and values in this box. This ability
can be useful if you want to copy a subset of variables and values from a file or from another
debug configuration.
For introductory information about OSS environment variables, see the Open System Services
User's Guide in the NonStop Technical Library.
