Datman's Environment Variables

Dawn E. Smith edited this page May 31, 2018 · 3 revisions

Some environment variables need to be added to your shell to run certain Datman scripts. You can add these to your shell with export VARNAME=VARVALUE for each one. For convenience you could also define a bash script full of these export commands and source the script instead or set up an environment module.

Required Variables

DM_CONFIG: Should be the full path to the site-wide datman config file.
DM_SYSTEM: Should be set to a system name from the SystemSettings in the datman site config file

Optional Variables

If you're running any script that interacts with XNAT you must set:

XNAT_USER: The user name to log in with
XNAT_PASS: The password to use

If you're interacting with a redcap server you should set REDCAP_TOKEN to your token.
