Preparing the Control-M/EM API project environment

This procedure describes how to prepare your project environment. Prior to using the Control-M/EM API, you must configure the API for use in your project development environment. When you want to release your application for use, you must configure the Control-M/EM API running environment.

NOTE: Your project is in the development environment when you are creating and testing the project on your development computer. The running environment is the project environment when your application is released for use. Follow these steps for both the development environment and the running environment

To prepare your project environment:

1. Set the environment variables for the environment by running the emapi_env.bat (or emapi_env.sh) file.
   • For emapi_env.sh on UNIX, run the following command:

     . emapi_env.sh

     Running the command with the above syntax ensures that the variables are valid after the command is run.

2. Copy the emapi-918\ctmemapi.properties file to your project’s working directory.
