You can create an environment variable in the Web Client and use it in the URL suffix of the web API import definitions related to the job definition. The environment variables can also be used to build dependent variables for use in the URL Suffix text box in the import definitions.
For example, if you have an import definition URL suffix as Sites('PID1')/Plants('PLANTA')/Instruments, you can replace PID1 and PlantA with environment variables. If you have created variable SITENAME as PID1 and PLANTNAME as PLANTA, the URL suffix in the import definition can be specified as:
Sites('{{SITENAME}}')/Plants('{{PLANTNAME}}')/Instruments
