Re: [QF-Test] How to SET an environment variable in QF-Test procedure that is visible to the SUT?

Hello Matthias,

looks like you're mixing up environment variables and system
properties.


If your application reads properties via
java.lang.System.getProperty(...), you need to define them via

-Dpropertyname=propertyvalue

as an argument to the Java VM in your startup sequence. Alternatively
you can run an SUT script right after connecting to the SUT with

System.setProperty("propertyname", "propertyvalue")


If the SUT reads environment variables with java.lang.System.getenv(),
you can set them before SUT start in a Server script with

rc.setProperty('env',"propertyname", "propertyvalue")

- as you mentioned.

Best regards,
    Greg
