Site Variable procedures
The aPriori Process Group Site Variables tool allows you to edit the global variables for the aPriori application deployed at your site. It also allows you to export and import a deployment’s site variables; for example, it allows you to export variables from a staging environment and import them into a production environment.
Note that aPriori provides the ability to define and set scenario-specific site variable overrides, as described later in this chapter.

1 Select Tools > VPE Toolset from the aPriori menu bar to display the aPriori VPE Toolset window.
