Adding variables in the job definitions on the Dynamic Workload Console

In the job definition lists of the Dynamic Workload Console, the following job types are categorized as job types with advanced options:
  • Executable
  • Java
  • WebServices
  • FileTransfer
  • J2EE
  • XaJob
  • Database
  • JCL
  • MSSQL Job
  • Any custom jobs for which you develop both the underlying code and the definition and management panels.
When you edit any of these jobs, you can insert variables in the definition fields using the syntax:
${variable_name} 
where the value for the variable is in one of the tables specified by the VARTABLES keyword described in the next section.
You can use compound variables, that is, more variables joined together as follows:
${VAR1${VAR2}...${VARn}} 
where the variables are resolved in several passes starting from the rightmost first and proceeding to the left.
