Environment Variables, Connection References, and Data
This chapter is all about Environment Variables (EnvVars), Connection References (ConRefs), and configuration and reference data. These are crucial components of an ALM process. They make it possible to change the behavior of an implementation depending on which environment we are in. In addition, their values can be changed automatically depending on the environment we are deploying to. All of this together makes them important parts of a healthy ALM process and it is necessary to understand how they work.
This chapter will cover the following topics:
- Environment variables
- Connection references
- Configuration and reference data
