Deployment Environment Variables

Introduction

SOAJS provides a list of computed environment variables that is used when creating catalog recipes.

These variables are computed at runtime and provide information related to the environment, platform, and components.

All computed environment variables listed below are global and can be used in any catalog recipe of any type.

The tables below group the variables based on usage, however, no environment variable is exclusive to a certain type.
