How to get User-Defined variables in node-red app in Bluemix

In my node-red app in Bluemix, I added a User-Defined environment variable. Not sure how to get that variable from a function in my node-red application. Thanks.

To get User Defined Variable from Bluemix you must use something like this:

var services = context.global.process.env['USR_DEFINED_VAR'];

after configuring functionGlobalContext: { process: process } in bluemix-settings.js

To change the value is just like that:

context.global.process.env['USR_DEFINED_VAR'] = value;

You will need to edit the bluemix-settings.js file to include the "process" built-n or other variables in functionGlobalContext.

functionGlobalContext: { process: process }

Once redeployed you can access the process in a function node as...

context.global.process
