AMT JCL

This information is incomplete.

It is possible to make configuration changes without rebuilding AMT-JCL using a JSON configuration file. This is optional.

Python scripts load the settings from the configuration file upon start. The location of the JSON configuration file can be set using the AMT_JCL_CONFIG Windows environment variable.

Setting the Environment Variable

The file path pointing to the location of the JCL configuration file can be set using the AMT_JCL_Config environment variable. Follow the instructions below:

Open the Settings of Windows and navigate to System.
Click on Advanced system settings A new dialog appears.
Click on the Environment Variables button.
Under System variables, click on the New button.
Fill out the Variable name and Variable value as follows:
1. Set the Variable name to AMT_JCL_CONFIG.
2. Set the Variable value to point to the location of the JCL configuration file.
Click the OK button.
