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 placesdata 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 values 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. In the example, the variables are declared and have the default value but at the runtime, the variables are updated from the job node properties. 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.

or modify values when adding an order to the workflow.

Workflow

The 03_VariablesPassing folder contains workflows used for passing variables. You can add an order from the action menu of the workflow.

In this example, variables are updated from job node properties. The two variables are declared in a workflow BOOKING_CODE and FLIGHT_DESTINATION. The value for the BOOKING CODE does not change during the whole workflow. We can change the value of the FLIGHT_DESTINATION variable at the time of adding the order and while executing the order in a workflow. Here, the value would be updated from the node properties of the jobs.

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

Click the 03_VariablesPassing folder and Click on the folder 03_VariablePassing from the and expand the jdVariablesNodes workflow.
To add the an order in the workflow. Click on , click the action menu of the workflow and click on selectAdd orderOrder button from the drop-down menu.
