Specifies the symbolic name for a WebSphere Application Server variable. For example, a variable name might represent a physical path or URL root that is used by WebSphere Application Server.
WebSphere Application Server substitutes the symbolic name wherever its value displays in the system.
For example, "JAVA_HOME" is the symbolic name representing the file system path to the installation directory for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). For example, the value is /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java for the WebSphere Application Server product on a Linux machine.
You can create new variables for use in WebSphere Application Server components that support the use of variables.
