Create or Update User Environment Variables
Create or update user environment variables to test the Windchill server, or client-side authoring application updates after creating an API.
User environment variables must reside on the same machine as the Windchill Workgroup Manager client.
Once the initial user environment variable is created, it can be modified with a different value in the Variable value field.
The user environment variable should contain the full path to the DLL. The DLL can be built using the sample files and scripts provided with the Windchill Workgroup Manager Toolkit.
The following table contains a list of common user environment variables you can use to specify input data and parameters for Windchill Workgroup Manager Toolkit sample commands. An example for the WWGMTK_MODEL_NAME user environment variable is provided for your reference.
