More information

  • The syntax is @<variable>@. See How to use replacement variables for more details.
  • Variable names are case-sensitive! 
  • Action help and document lists variables set by specific actions.
  • Variable replacements are different than substitution variables. Don't confuse them or their unique syntax.
  • Last created means the variable is set from the last create or add action.
  • Referenced means the variable is set from one of the runFrom or get actions.
  • Within a run script, the getReplacementVariableList action will list currently defined variables except for pre-defined variables (server, runDate).
  • Within a run script, the setReplacementVariableList action can be used to set custom variables.
  • Some actions support a reference parameter that provides an opportunity to set a custom variable based on specific information from running the action.
  • Variables are available within the scope of run action that contains the action that sets the variable or a parent run action. Sibling (runFromList scripts) variable sets are independent of each other.
