Explanation:

• There are optional arguments for this job to identify the file carrying variables:
  • if the job is used in a workflow to which orders are added from JS7 - File Watching then the job will use the internal file variable that specifies the incoming file and does not require an argument.
  • if the job is used in a workflow not subject to File Watching then the js7_source_file argument is used to specify the path to the file carrying variables.
• Any additional arguments specify variables that are expected from the incoming file. The example makes use of the var1 argument which translates to the fact that from the incoming file a line is expected to specify the variable like this: var1=some value.
• Select the check box provided with each argument if you want this argument to be added to the arguments of the FileOrderVariablesJob MonitoringJob template.

When hitting the Submit button the wizard adds the required arguments to the job which should look like this:
