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

Question

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.

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
