To set a STAF environment variable you must set it via the VAR service's
SET request (or you can set a variable in the STAF.cfg file).
Do you really want to create the same STAF variable on another system?
Perhaps you really just want to set the variable on one system and access
it from any system.
For example, on machine Administrator:
STAF local VAR SET SHARED VAR TEST=hello
On machine Consumer, it can get the value of this variable:
STAF Administrator VAR RESOLVE SHARED VAR {TEST}
Response
--------
Hello
And if machine Administrator gives machine Consumer trust level 3 or
greater (note that 3 is the default trust level unless you overrode it),
it can change the value of the variable on Administrator:
STAF Administrator VAR SET VAR "Test=New Value"

Subject: [staf-users] Variable Sharing
I have two machines, call them Administrator and Consumer. On
Administrator I define a variable called TEST with value hello using
the command
STAF LOCAL VAR SET SHARED VAR TEST=hello
I am trying to get Consumer to have the same value for TEST defined in
the same variable for Consumer. For example, I want STAF LOCAL VAR
LIST to display a variable with TEST: hello
The only way that I know of to share the variable is through having
Administrator call out
STAF Consumer PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "STAF LOCAL VAR SET SHARED
VAR TEST={TEST}"
and Administrator must have level 5 administrator access defined on
Consumer.
Is there an easier way to get a STAF variable off of one machine and
store it onto another?
Thanks,
Zach Calvert
