NAME

 export - marks a variable name for automatic export to the environment of subsequent commands in multimode

SYNOPSIS

 export [ name=value [ name=value] *]

DESCRIPTION

Marks a variable name for automatic export to the environment of subsequent commands. All subsequent commands use the variable name values as specified; unless you unset them or exit multimode. If only the variable name is specified, the current value of that variable name is displayed. If the export command is used without any arguments, a list of all the exported variables and their values is displayed. Exported shell environment variables set prior to invoking the asadmin utility are imported automatically and set as exported variables within asadmin. Unexported environment variables cannot be read by the asadmin utility.

OPERANDS

name=value

variable name and value for automatic export to the environment to be used by subsequent commands.

EXAMPLES

Example 1. Using export to set an environment variable
asadmin> export AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar

In this case, the AS_ADMIN_HOST environment variables has been set to bluestar.

Example 2. Using export to set multiple environment variables
asadmin> export AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar AS_ADMIN_PORT=8000 AS_ADMIN_USER=admin AS_ADMIN_PREFIX=server1.jms-service

In this case, the environment variables have been set to: the host is bluestar, the port is 8000, the administrator user is admin, and the prefix is server1.jms-service.

Example 3. Using export to list environment variables
asadmin> export
AS_ADMIN_HOST=bluestar
AS_ADMIN_PORT=8000
AS_ADMIN_USER=admin
AS_ADMIN_PREFIX=server1.jms-service

The export with no input lists the set environment variables.
