Introduction

The JS7 - Variables are used to execute the job using different parameters on the order or on a Workflowparameterize the execution of jobs in a workflow. Variables are declared for the workflow by specifying a name and datatype. We can use variable at different placesand data type and optionally a default value. Variables can be used in a number of places:

  • As an Environment Variable: the environment variable is available for all shell jobs In the Environment Variable:  The environment variable available for all the Jobs in a workflow.
  • In the As a Job ResourcesResource: You can assign variable in a set of variables to a job resource and attach the job resource to an individual job. If the job resources with this the variable are assigned attached to the whole workflow or on the jobs.workflow, the variables will be available for all the jobs in the workflow.
  • As an In Order Variable: You can declare variables with a workflow and assign or modify values when adding an order to the workflow while adding an Order. The default and require value is assigned to the order.

The folder 03_VariablePassing contains the workflow based on the variable passing. You can add the order from the action menu of the workflow and from the history you can review the detailed information about the workflow.

Workflow

The 03_VariablesPassing folder contains workflows used to pass variables.  In the job script, the two variables are used with the name BOOKING_CODE and FLIGHT_DESTINATION.  The value for the BOOKING CODE does not change during the whole workflow. We change the value for the FLIGHT_DESTINATION during the workflow with the help of variable passing in a JobScript. The variables are not editable during adding the Order as they declared within the job script. 

To execute the workflow from the 03_VariablesPassing folder follow the steps described below:

  1. Click the 03_VariablesPassing folder and expand the jdVariablesAdHoc workflow.
