To export the submission environment you can use the job flag export_environment in the job flag field

I hope this helps

Cheers
Josh

Hello Josh:
Would it be possbile to send a sample code to do so. We have currently two environments, the old and the new one and we are in the process of migrating to new one. Once the environment is identified we would to grab all the environment varables and populate the job.

Thanks

Hi there:

In simplecmd.py file, how do I set the value for the following job.env on the fly
 
detailedqube_options.add_option( 'job.env'  , 'dict', 'Environment variable overrides when running job', widget=Grid_Dict, default={}, label='Env Vars', widget_vsize=200, rows=10)

Thanks
