Symbolic text substitutions

Mapping environment variables

You can also specify symbols that resolve to environment variables. To refer to an environment
variable in one of the XML configuration files, use the name of the environment variable
within percent (

) characters. The

characters indicate to the server that the symbol refers to

an environment variable, and not to a user-defined string.

The syntax for specifying an environment variable as a symbol is

${%ENV_VAR_NAME%}

For example, the server will map the following symbol to the

COMPUTERNAME

variable:

${%COMPUTERNAME%}

Defining symbols outside the substitution.xml file

You can specify all of your text substitution mappings under the

Symbols

tag in

subsitutions.xml. However, you can also specify separate external files that contain symbol-to-
string mappings. To do this, specify one or more

KeyValueFile

tags in the substitution.xml

file. Each of these tags can specify the location of one external file.

For example, the following XML specifies the file C:\testfiles\mySymbols.txt within the
substitution.xml file:

<Root>

<KeyValueFile>C:\testfiles\mySymbols.txt</KeyValueFile>

</Root>

These external files are not in XML format. They simply contain a collection of symbol-value
pairs, where each symbol-value pair appears on a separate line and takes the following form:

symbol=value

The following example shows three symbol-value pairs:

USER_NAME=foo
USER_PSWD = bar
HELLO= " world "

Place comments on separate lines that begin with a number sign (

). Do not place comments

on the same line as a symbol definition.

The first equal sign (

) found in a line is considered the delimiter that separates the symbol

and the value. The server trims any leading or trailing white space from both the symbol and
the value. If the value is surrounded by double quotation marks, the server does not trim
leading or trailing white space within the quotation marks.
