Setting environment variables for ArcGIS Server

Instead of setting user-defined environment variables in the user profile, the init_user_param.sh script is provided as a convenient way for you to set and manage user-defined variables specific to ArcGIS Server. The settings you define are applied only to ArcGIS Server and do not affect other applications running on the system.

The script is located in the <ArcGIS Server installation directory>/arcgis/server/usr directory. To set user-defined environment variables, open the script and use the following syntax:

export <user defined variables>=<location to the defined variables>

This script is broken up into five sections, which allow you to enable the following environment variables:

When you are finished editing the script, you'll need to restart ArcGIS Server for the changes to take effect. You can do this by manually restarting each GIS server in your deployment by running the startserver.sh script.
