<param namh1. "willi" value"\$ODAT" >
Job and order parameters can be set using global variables. A simple example would be:
Code Block |
---|
<param name="BookingDate" value="\$ODAT">
|
where the global variable $ODAT
represents a date and has been set as described in the Creating_global_variables FAQ. Substituting a job or order parameter in this way would allow, for example, a booking date to be set for a financial transaction although the transaction is actually processed at a later time.
The following is a more complex example Example showing the substitution of global variables in a job:
Code Block |
---|
function spooler_task_before() \{ var paramNames = spooler_task.params.names.split( ";" ); for( var i in paramNames ) \{ substituteParams(paramNames[i]); \} return true; \} |
Code Block |
---|
function substituteParams(paramName) \{ var paramValue = spooler_task.params.value(paramName); if(paramValue.search(/\$/) > -1) \{ var schedulerParamNames = spooler.variables.names.split( ";" ); for( var i in schedulerParamNames ) \{ if(paramValue.search(/\$/) == -1) \{ break; \} var schedulerParamValue = spooler.variables.value(schedulerParamNames[i]); spooler_log.info("Substitute: "+paramName+"="+paramValue+" with " + schedulerParamNames[i]+"="+schedulerParamValue); var pattern = new RegExp("\\$\\{?SCHEDULER_PARAM_"+schedulerParamNames[i]+"\\}?","ig"); paramValue = paramValue.replace(pattern,schedulerParamValue); spooler_log.info( "new value of " +paramName+"="+paramValue); \} spooler_task.params.value(paramName) = paramValue; \} \} |
Substitution of global variables in an order can be carried out in a similar manner.
