Filter Environment Specific Constant

Question

There are 300+ Constant in my application but i need to filter the Env specific Constant . 
 How can i do that

Mike Schmitt · Answer

The only way I've figured out so far to distinguish Environment Specific constants from others is to manually put in a specific text tag into the Description at create/edit time, like "[ES]" or similar. I don't know of any systematic one to distinguish them from others, other than to gather all constants into one app, export them, and see what the deployment customization file says (since it would only reference environment-specific ones). 
 What's your use case exactly?

I prefix them with ENV_

Mathieu Drouin said: I prefix them with ENV_ 
 that's a good idea, and i'd further suggest that for those folks (like me) who would need to keep existing project-specific and/or app-specific prefixes in place, then the "ENV_" part could be added as a "secondary prefix" within the constant name, like just after the app prefix - i'd be tempted to make it slightly longer to be more specific, like "ENVSPEC_" or something, so the whole thing might look like i.e. "MYAPP_ENVSPEC_CONSTANT_NAME_HERE"

You have to manually filter out with any of the mentioned methods, but it is recommended to name the environment constant in an easily identifiable manner just for this case. 
 Start the name with the application prefix, use an additional prefix to group env constants. 
 APP_ENV_CONSTANT_NAME

One way of doing this is to have a package created for all the constants in your application and before you try to deploy the package you will have the Customization file in which all the environment specific constants will be listed out

Hi Dinesh Arumugam 
 Add all constants to a package and then export that newly created package. While downloading the exported package inside, any constants are marked as environmental constants. By default, it shows the import customization file. While downloading the import customization file in which all the environmentally specific constants will be listed out.
