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 variable and its value in a job and pass the variable to the successive job in the same job stream instance.

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 and <value> is the value assigned to the <VAR-NAME>. For more information about jobprop utility, see jobprop.

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

${job:<JOB_NAME>.<VAR-NAME>}

where <JOB_NAME> is the name value or alias name value of the job from which you are exporting the <VAR-NAME> variable value.

Example

In this example, the WIN92MAS#JS_PROP job stream contains 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.
