Hi folks,

could you please explain me how to read variables in the OS from a job?

is there a single approach that works for windows and linux (*unix)?

i am using Java in Talend.

thanks,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

you could use System.getenv("VARIABLENAME").

Thanks Volker,

since talend has a component for setting variables i was looking for a component to read them as well.

thanks once more,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

sorry too say that, but I think the component tSetEnv doesn't set any system environment variable. You should add the as parameter in the component tSystem. The documentation on the component list seems to be wrong (or the component?).

It is technical not possible to generally set a system environment variable in java for security reason.

Volker,

thanks for the clarification.

i will double check my jobs and move them to another PC to make sure work as expected.

regards,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

does setting the variables directly in tSystem help you out?
