In Microsoft Windows, the following restrictions apply to external variables:
• | The variables file to support External variables in the agent must conform to the Java properties file format. |
• | Variables and variable names cannot include spaces or any of the following characters: equals sign (= ), period (. ), or forward slash(\ ). |
• | Any special characters must be escaped to be evaluated properly. |
On UNIX systems, the env
