Setting Parameter in Shell-Scripts and put them to the next node(s) in job chains.
At every change of status in job chains Job Scheduler parses a temporary file for "namh1. value" pairs. The "namevalue" pairs will be set as order params. The name of the temporary file is availabe with the environment variable SCHEDULER_RETURN_VALUES.
The sample below describes a job chain with two steps. Both are running the generic job PowerShellExecutor to run a powershell script within a JobScheduler job.
First Step: set a parameter for the next step in the job chain
$A="myParam=PowerShellParam" $A | out-file -encoding ASCII $env:scheduler_return_values get-content $env:scheduler_return_values exit $lastexitcode # to change the policy for using powershell you can use this .adm file: # http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=25119
Second Step: get the parameter sets in the first step
"the parameter from the previous job chain node is '$env:SCHEDULER_PARAM_myParam'" exit $lastexitcode # to change the policy for using powershell you can use this .adm file: # http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/confirmation.aspx?id=25119
