The purpose of this FAQ is to supplement the documentation for this command to provide a greater understanding of its use and impact.

The documentation on "srvctl setenv" and its sister command, "srvctl getenv", can be found in the "Server Control Utility Reference", in the Oracle documentation for your release.
