Determining the location of PATROL files

During the installation process, the PATROL installation utility records where it installs PATROL components in environment variables. To function properly, various components of the PATROL product, such as the migration tools, require the information stored in these variables. Two important variables are PATROL_HOME and PATROL_CACHE.
