Where are environment variables found?

InfoPrint Manager environment variables can be found in these files or directories:

/etc/environment

This file contains environment variables that apply to all sessions for all users on a given system. InfoPrint Manager does not set any environment variables using this file, however you can manually set various variables there to be used by InfoPrint Manager.

/etc/profile.d/ipm_environment.sh

The /etc/profile.d/ipm_environment.sh contains environment variables that apply to all the user's Linux sessions. The values in this file override the values in /etc/environment.

/etc/ipm/profile.d

You can create custom shell scripts in /etc/ipm/profile.d to change your InfoPrint Manager server environment. All shell scripts must have the .sh extension. The shell scripts must be readable by the $IPM_USER user. The environment values set in those scripts override the values in /etc/environment and/or /etc/profile.d/ipm_environment.sh.

Do not:

• use "exit" statements inside the shell scripts
• invoke programs and/or use shell script statements that might block the script
• override or remove the InfoPrint Manager environment variables
• remove InfoPrint Manager entries from PATH

The shell scripts are sourced alphabetically.

Note:
• /etc/ipm/profile.d applies to InfoPrint Manager server and MVS Download receivers only.
