Alternative kettle.properties setup for shared environments
If you are sharing an ETL Client for non-production environments you must use this
method in adding repository-based kettle.properties files to the
.kettle directory.
Any variables that are shared by both non-production environments must be configured in the main kettle.properties file. For example, DATALAKE_DEFAULT_STARTDATE or MAIL_CONFIG_FILE that are created during the repository generation process. You can find the kettle.properties file in this folder: X:\Infor\IONETL\.kettle\kettle.properties
All other variables that are specific to the environment, must be added to the {environment}_kettle.properties file. Where {environment} is the name of the repository that is created.
If the {environment} variables are set, then they are always used over the main kettle.properties.
