Identifying the Environment File Location for Servers in a Group

If the value of the ENVFILE environment variable (ENVFILE=string_value) is an invalid filename, no values are added to the environment. Lines must be of the form ident=value where ident contains only underscores or alphanumeric characters.

Within value, strings of the form ${env} are expanded when the file is processed using variables already defined for the environment. (Forward referencing is not supported. If a value is not set, the variable is replaced with an empty string.) You can use a back slash (\) to escape dollar signs and other back slashes. All other shell quoting and escape mechanisms are ignored and the expanded value is placed in the environment.

Environment files are provided in at least two sections of the configuration file. The BEA Tuxedo system reads them in the following order:

Values in the SERVERS section override values in the GROUPS section. Values in the GROUPS section override values in the MACHINES section.
