I would suggest to substitute all environment-specific variables or values with JMeter Properties. See following functions for reference:

• __property()
• __P()

For example you can define a property called hostname in either jmeter.properties file or as JMeter command line argument as follows

jmeter -Jhostname=169.140.130.120 -n -t yourscript.jmx -l yourscriptresults.jtl

and refer to in inside your script as:

• ${__P(hostname,)} or
• ${__property(hostname,,)}

See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more details.
