Passing parameters to subsequent shell jobs in a job chain

  • With every change of status in job chains JobScheduler parses a temporary file for name=value pairs each time the status of a job chain changes
    • The name of the this temporary file is available with held in the environment variable SCHEDULER_RETURN_VALUES environment variable.
    • The name/value pairs are automatically added as order parameters.
