You can assign default variables to be used by Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED) objects. Variables defined in a Subscriber object's propeties will override any variables set in this policy.
Variable
Enter the variable's name. The name can be derived from the following variable types:
Predefined
User-defined
Native environment
Java* environment
Value
Enter a valid value that you want this variable to resolve to.
Variables allow you to use a similar path for dissimilar platforms by specifying a variable for the part of the path that is different for each platform.
For example, the following table displays possible values for a user-defined variable named %Root_Location%:
Platform | Possible Variable Values |
NetWare® | SYS:\ DATA:\ |
Windows* 2000 | C:\ C$ |
Windows NT* | CRoot$ |
The value can also be another variable name. You can nest variables by using variable names as values.
Description

Volume for the working directory.
