Reading specific Arguments

The straightforward way to read the value for a specific argument works like this:

class JS7Job extends js7.Job {

	processOrder(js7Step) {
        var workflowPath = js7Step.getAllArgumentsAsNameValueMap['js7Workflow.path']);
        js7Step.getLogger().info('argument: ' + workflowPath);
    }
}

• Consider the literal meaning of "all arguments". 
• Argument values are returned in one of the supported data types including string, number and Boolean.

Accessing Arguments from Order Variables

Order Variables are carried by an order and are a subset of the Declared Variables specified by the workflow.

• Order Variables have to be specified for any Declared Variables that are not assigned a default value.
• Order Variables can specify Declared Variables holding default values. The Order Variable over-rules the default value.

Accessing Declared Arguments

...

• At workflow level any number of variables can be specified.
• Specification includes the data type, most frequently using string, number, Boolean.
• A default value can be provided that allows an order to optionally specify the variable with some value.
