Appendix I: Creating an Environment Variable

While deploying, or configuring a feature in Adeptia Connect, you may need some environment variables to be used to pass a value or an argument. Some of the variables may get the values from the values.yaml file at the time of deployment, while the others may need to be set when you're configuring a feature. The environment variables are of use in cases including database configuration, logging, migration, SAML SSO, etc.

Adeptia Connect provides you with a list of environment variables that are used for different purposes. Based on your requirement, you need to create the environment variables with the same name as provided to you. The process for creating environment variables differs for different operating systems.
