  • The getAllArgumentsAsNameValueMap() method provides a map of all arguments. The map allows to read a single argument from specifying the argument name.
  • Argument values are returned in one of the supported data types including string, number and Boolean.
  • Consider that argument names are case-sensitive.

...

  • Order Variables have to be specified for any Declared Variables that are not assigned a default value.
  • Order Variables can specify Declared Variables holding default values. The Order Variable over-rules overrules the default value.

Reading the list of Order Variables

To iterate the list of Order Variables the following proceeding applies:

titleExample for implementation of JS7Job with JavaScript

class JS7Job extends js7.Job {

	processOrder(js7Step) {
        // get list of order variables
		var args = js7Step.getOrderArgumentsAsNameValueMap();
		js7Step.getLogger().info('[getOrderArgumentsAsNameValueMap]:');
		js7Step.getLogger().info('all arguments: ' + args);

        for (var arg in args) {
			js7Step.getLogger().info('argument: ' + arg + '=' + args[arg]);
		}

	processOrder(js7Step) {
        // option 1: access declared argument
      	// option 1.a: access declared argument by name
        js7Step.getLogger().info('[GetDeclaredArgument] by name:');
      	var declaredArg1a = js7Step.getDeclaredArgument('js7Workflow.pathcolor_blue');
		js7Step.getLogger().info('declaredArgument: ' + declaredArg1a.getName() + '=' + declaredArg1a.getValue());

      	// option 1.b: access declared argument by object name
        js7Step.getLogger().info('[GetDeclaredArgument] by object name:');
      	var declaredArg1b = js7Step.getDeclaredArgument(this.declaredArguments.workflowPathcolorBlue.name);
		js7Step.getLogger().info('declaredArgument: ' + declaredArg1b.getName() + '=' + declaredArg1b.getValue());

        // option 2: access declared argument value
        // option 2.a: access declared argument value by name
		js7Step.getLogger().info('[GetDeclaredArgumentValue] by name:');
		js7Step.getLogger().info(js7Step.getDeclaredArgumentValue('js7Workflow.pathcolor_blue'));

        // option 2.b: access declared argument value by object name
		js7Step.getLogger().info('[GetDeclaredArgumentValue] by object name:');
        js7Step.getLogger().info(js7Step.getDeclaredArgumentValue(this.declaredArguments.workflowPathcolorBlue.name));
     }
}

Explanations:

  • The example suggests two ways how to access declared arguments:
    • Accessing the argument value: directly returns the argument value for the given argument name.
    • Accessing the argument object: offers to use the getName() and getValue() methods of the argument object.
  • Argument names can be specified by strings or by using the declaredArguments instance of the JobArgument class and the argument objects included.

Declared Arguments

Similarly to reading specific Declared Arguments the job has to specify the Declared Arguments by use of the js7.JobArgument class.

class JS7Job extends js7.Job {

	processOrder(js7Step) {

		var args     = js7Step.getJobResourcesArgumentsAsNameDetailValueMap();
		js7Step.getLogger().info('[getJobResourcesArgumentsAsNameDetailValueMap] by name:':');
		js7Step.getLogger().info('arguments: ' + args);

      	  for (var colorBluearg = js7Step.getJobResourcesArgumentsAsNameDetailValueMap()['color_blue'];in args) {
			js7Step.getLogger().info('argument color_blue: ' + arg + '=' + colorBlueargs[arg].getValue());
