Set Up a Manufacturing Connect Edge API Token for an Application Release
Note: This setup feature is available for Manufacturing Connect 2.10.0 and later.
When setting up an application release to be deployed to a Manufacturing Connect Edge instance, it is possible to pass an API token for the application release's respective Docker container.
Create a Draft Application Release. See Create a Draft Application Release for details.
For an application release, create a variable named EDGE_API_TOKEN. Configure the remaining parameters and options to your preference.
See Step 3-Step 5 in Add a Draft Application Release.
