liquibase.bteq.path

Last updated: June 9, 2026

liquibase.bteq.path is a String parameter that specifies the path to the BTEQ executable. Default: bteq.

Uses

By default, Liquibase resolves bteq from your system PATH. Use this parameter when BTEQ is installed in a non-standard location, when multiple BTEQ versions are installed, or when running in environments where the PATH is not configured for the user running Liquibase.

Set liquibase.bteq.path when:

  • BTEQ is not on PATH. The bteq executable is installed in a custom directory and not accessible from the system PATH.

  • Multiple BTEQ versions installed. You need to pin Liquibase to a specific version of the executable.

  • Container or CI/CD environments. The process environment does not inherit a user-configured PATH.
