Windows RRT

The Windows RRT allows AutoStore workflows to access values from Windows environment variables that are defined on a system.

Environment variables provide information about drivers, network connections, application folders, and other program-related details. These variables are categorized as user variables and system variables. User variables are defined for the current user profile. System variables are defined by the operating system.

Environment variables are stored in the Windows registry (regedit.exe):

User variables
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
System variables
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
In a Windows command window, you can use the SET command to display, set, or remove environment variables on a system.

RRT ID

The RRT ID for the Windows RRT is WIN. The format for a Windows RRT is the following:

~ WIN :: VariableName ~

In place of VariableName, insert the name of an environment variable that is defined on your system. When you specify a user variable, it must belong to the user profile that will be running AutoStore workflows.
