Setting Environmental Variables

You can set environment variables for a job run by passing parameters in the API request body in a JSON-encoded object with the following format.

{
    "environment": {
        "ENV_VARIABLE": "value 1",
        "ANOTHER_ENV_VARIABLE": "value 2"
    }
}

The values set here will override the defaults set for the project and the job in the web application. This request body is optional and can be left blank.

Be aware of potential conflicts with existing defaults for environment variables that are crucial to your job, such as PATH and the CDSW * variables.
