Passing variables set by using jobprop in one job to another in the same job stream instance

You can use the jobprop utility installed on dynamic agents to set one or more variables and their value in a job and pass it to the successive job in the same job stream instance. This utility is supported only on executable jobs.

To set variable and its value in the first job use the following syntax:

jobprop <VAR-NAME> <value>

where

<VAR-NAME>: is the variable that you can export into another job
<value>: is the value assigned to the <VAR-NAME>

For more information about jobprop utility, see Defining variables with the jobprop utility.

To define the variables in another job, use the following syntax:

${jobs.<job_name>.wa.<variable_name>}

where

<job_name>: is the name or the alias of the job from which you are exporting the <variable_name> value.

In this example, the PAYROLLMAS#JS_PROP job stream contains the NC125133#JOBA and NC125133#JOBB executable jobs. The NC125133#JOBB job references the following NC125133#JOBA variable values set by using the jobprop utility:

VAR1 variable set to value1 value.
VAR2 variable set to value2 value.
VAR3 variable set to value3 value.
VAR4 variable set to value4 value.
