Github user chrismattmann commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/oodt/pull/44 So I checked, and I do have those environment variables set, except for ```RESMGR_HOME``` e.g., ``` LMC-053601:oodt mattmann$ echo $FILEMGR_HOME /usr/local/bigtranslate/filemgr LMC-053601:oodt mattmann$ echo $FILEMGR_URL http://localhost:9000 LMC-053601:oodt mattmann$ LMC-053601:oodt mattmann$ echo $RESMGR_URL http://localhost:9002 LMC-053601:oodt mattmann$ ``` I was thinking about your code - is it that if an environment variable from local config isn't that set - you are publishing a null value to ZK or there is a getPropertyOrNull call somewhere that is causing this? If so, we should probably have a sensibleDefaults() configuration which are all the sensible defaults in case the environment is Null. Even better would be to use PathUtils in o.a.cas.metadata.util to do EnvVarOrMetadata replacement on all paths you read from config.
