Defining an Environmental Variable on a Process Scheduler Server

7.3 Defining an Environmental Variable on a Process Scheduler Server

The system requires that you define an environmental variable, PS_FILEDIR. This variable defines the temporary flat file location on the process scheduler that runs the file import process.

If you are using a UNIX or DB2 z/OS process scheduler, edit the psconfig.sh file and specify the flat file location in the environment variable PS_FILEDIR. For example:
```
PS_FILEDIR="/data1";export PS_FILEDIR
```
If you are using a Microsoft Windows process scheduler, from your Start menu select Programs, Control Panel, System. Select the Advanced Tab and click Environment Variables. Add or modify the system variable PS_FILEDIR and specify its value. For example:
```
C:\TEMP
```
