Specifying the branch job parameters

Specify the parameters for the branch job in the Comments field of the job stream that contains the affected branch job.

Each parameter must be enclosed between a begin separator and an end separator, even if you are specifying parameters for only one branch job. Separators are constructed as follows:

Begin separator

The name of the branch job, followed by the string -BEGIN. for example BRANCH_1-BEGIN.

End separator

The name of the branch job, followed by the string -END, for example BRANCH_1-END.

The following example shows a parameter definition for one job branch:

BRANCH_1-BEGIN
CONDITION_SWITCH=COMPLEX
PATTERN_1=Error
NEGATE_CONDITION_RESULT_1=YES
PATTERN_2=Free space on Primary device
VALUE_2=50
ARITHMETICAL_OPERATOR_2=-gt
BOOLEAN_OPERATOR_2=&&
PATTERN_3=Free space on Secondary device
VALUE_3=60
ARITHMETICAL_OPERATOR_3=-gt
BOOLEAN_OPERATOR_3=||
BRANCH_1-END

The following example shows a parameter definition for a job stream with two branch jobs:

BRANCH_1-BEGIN
CONDITION_SWITCH=COMPLEX
PATTERN_1=Error
NEGATE_CONDITION_RESULT_1=YES
PATTERN_2=Free space on Primary device
VALUE_2=50
ARITHMETICAL_OPERATOR_2=-gt
BOOLEAN_OPERATOR_2=&&
PATTERN_3=Free space on Secondary device
VALUE_3=60
ARITHMETICAL_OPERATOR_3=-gt
BOOLEAN_OPERATOR_3=||
BRANCH_1-END
BRANCH_2-BEGIN
CONDITION_SWITCH=COMPLEX
PATTERN_1=Backup of Primary device
VALUE_1=ERROR
NEGATE_CONDITION_RESULT_1=YES
BRANCH_2-END

The name of signal jobs must start with the string SIGNAL. Parameter separators are also required:

SIGNAL_1-BEGIN
ACTION_SWITCH=SIGNAL
SIGNAL_1-END
