What is an environment?

Environment

An environment file is a set of environment variables for use by workflows. When a workflow is executed, the environment variables are fetched and applied to the workflow where needed.

For example, you can set frequently used values such as hostnames as environment variables to reduce the amount of user input required by workflows.

See the Workflows tutorial on the Network Developer Portal for details about working with environments.

NSP is installed with a default environment, DefaultEnv. The default environment provides the information that NSP needs to reach the Git repository. Access to the NSP GitHub repository is configured by default. If you want the Import from Git button to point to a different location, update the DefaultEnv environment.
