Hi Nikolay,

apologies for the delay in response.  You can set envs in app launcher configs

simply add this section to the houdini app launcher config files :

"env": {"HSITE":"some_value", ..}

You can see how it is done in a similar way when changing the launch arguments: https://ftrackhq.github.io/ftrack-connect-pipeline/tutorial/launch.html

Also You will need to alter the installed application plugin on machines, e.g.

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ftrack\ftrack-connect-plugins\ftrack-application-launcher-1.0.10\config

And remember to re-apply this configuration each time you re-install the application launcher plugin in Connect

I hope this helps please let us know if we can help any further.

regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel !

Thanx for your reply but I have not managed to get my env in Houdini.....

first of all there are two json files - connector and pipeline.... I have added "env" section to both.. just in case...but my houdini loads without these variables 

may be I'm doing something wrong
