The administrative environment variables allow you to set default administrative values. These settings only impact the computer you use to administer the fabric.
| Environment variable |
Description |
| FABRIC_HOME |
Specifies the directory containing the fabric libraries. For windows, we set this variable to "C:\Program Files\Fabric\system", and for Linux the we set it to "/usr/local/fabric/system".
This variable is a required variable for the fabric worker to run. In addition, the fabric_pkg administrative utility uses this environment variable by default to locate files, for example, the fabric.jar when packaging or checking fabric applications that use Java. |
| FABRIC_ADMIN_ADDRESS |
Specifies the IP address and port to use when the fabric_ctl -d parameter is not used.
If this variable is not set, you must use the -d parameter with each command. |
| FABRIC_CTL_HOME |
Specifies the location of the text file storing your user name and password when logging in to a fabric. The password is encrypted. When you logout, the text in the file is deleted. If this variable is not set, the text file is stored in the directory in which you are currently working.
If you do not want this information stored in a file, use the fabric_ctl -u parameter and enter a user name and password with each command. |
