Updating the Environment Configuration File

When you installed Lawson, an Environment configuration file /etc/lawson.env was created. You can use /etc/lawson.env to manage both Lawson and third party environment variables. All environment variables defined in /etc/lawson.env will be set when you execute a .cv command.

Add third-party environment variables to the Environment configuration file

  1. Using a text editor, open /etc/lawson.env.
  2. Update the file to include definitions for third-party environment variables, including:
