Configuring Task Engine Variables
 
Considerations when Configuring Task Engine Variables in Command Central
When adding a Task Engine environment variable in the Command Central user interface, select one of the following Custom types:
*Default. Creates variables without secure fields.
*Secure. Creates password variables whose values are encrypted by Task Engine.
The following table lists the fields to complete when adding or editing Task Engine global environment variables in the Command Central user interface:
Field
Description
Key
Required. The name of the Task Engine global environment variable. Task Engine uses the key to refer to the environment variable while performing environment variable substitution.
Note:
The Key field is disabled when editing a variable.
Type
Required. The data type of the Task Engine global environment variable.
Note:
The Type field is disabled when editing a variable.
Value
The value of the Task Engine global environment variable.
When you add or edit a secure environment variable, the value you specify in this field is hidden. After you save the environment variable, the Value field remains empty.
Important:
After you edit or delete an environment variable, task applications that use the variable are automatically restarted.
