Defining variables and passwords for local resolution

You can set variables and passwords to be defined and resolved locally on the HCL Workload Automation for Z agents.

This is particularly useful in the case of passwords because you are not required to specify them in the job definition. The advantage is that, if the password has to change, you do not modify the job definition, but you change it with the param command locally on the agents (or on the pool agents) that run or may run the job.

This feature is not restricted to Windows workstations alone. You can use it also on UNIX, as long as you apply it on job types with advanced options.
