Environment Variables for Command Line Programs Overview

You can configure optional environment variables for the command line programs. For example, you can set environment variables to encrypt passwords, configure time and date display options, or store the default login information for a domain.
If you are run pmcmd or pmrep in interactive mode, you must exit the command line program and then reconnect to use changed environment variables.
On Windows, you can configure these environment variables as either user or system variables. For information about setting environment variables on Windows, see the Windows documentation.
The following table describes environment variables you can configure to use with the command line programs:
