Subject: Env Variable to distinguish environments u2013 Dev, QA, Prod

Question

I have a HP UNIX Script. This script is called from an ABAP Program which will be called from a process chain.
UNIX Script will run in different environments u2013 Dev, QA, and Prod. While most of the script is same for all env, some code is different. I want to just have one script and put conditional code for environment dependent code.
But how do I know which environment I am in when script is run. Is there some env variable which SAP BI sets when it runs the script? If yes, what is that variable?

Answer 1

When you create your OS command - create three - one for each landscape and in your ABAp program - as mentioned by Dennis - use the SY-SYSID to distinguish the systems and execute the appropeirate UNIX Script using your program.
Usually this issue is faced when dealing with the file system in your UNIX Script where the locations across different systems cannot be syncronised.
Else execute the script locally and check if it works and then use that in your program without having to duplicate the System commands in SM69.
