• The purpose of Arguments is to parameterize the processing of an order.
• Constant values and Order Variables can be assigned.

Assignment of Base64 encoded Values

JVM jobs can hold arguments with string values of arbitrary length. 

• If such arguments are forwarded to later shell jobs then they will be represented as environment variables that are limited in size (OS dependent).
• If such arguments include special characters such as carriage return, newline etc. then this can break representation as an environment variable.

Users can assign JVM jobs arguments of type string with base64 encoded values:

The prefix base64: specifies the respective data type. JVM jobs will automatically decode bas64 encoded argument values.

Assignment Syntax Examples

The following assignment types are available:

...

• Use with single quotes

  Input	'some value'
  Output	some value
  JSON	"var": "'some value'"

  
  
  

• Use with double quotes

  Input	"some value"
  Output	some value
  JSON	"var": "\"some value\""

  
  For assignment of empty string values double quotes have to be used:

  Input	""
  Output
  JSON	"var": "\"\""

  
  
  

• Use with double quoted values

  Input	"some \"quoted\" value"
  Output	some "quoted" value
  JSON	"var": "\"some \\\"quoted\\\" value\""

  
  
  

• Use with double quoted and single quoted values

  Input	"some 'quoted' value"
  Output	some 'quoted' value
  JSON	"var": "\"some 'quoted' value\""

  
  
  

• Use with $ character from single quoted values

  Input	'some $dollar value'
  Output	some $dollar value
  JSON	"var": "'some $dollar value'"

• Use with $ character from double quoted values

  Input	"some \$dollar value"
  Output	some $dollar value
  JSON	"var": "\"some \\$dollar value\""

  
  
  

• Use with base64 encoded values

  Input	"base64:aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK"
  Output	base64:aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK
  JSON	"var": "\"base64:aGVsbG8gd29ybGQK\""
