Using Variables |
Variables are placeholders that represent specific information at the time that an integration is triggered to execute. Among other uses, these variables can specify such things as a text or IDoc file name, a trigger file's contents, and additional command parameters.
A commonly used integration variable is "%FileTriggerEventFileName%". This variable informs the Integration Service that the same file that was detected as the trigger should be used as the data file for the template when printing.
Integration Builder provides predefined global and system variables. You can also create your own custom and global variables.
Integration variables are variables that can be referenced only by a specific integration and its actions. These variables cannot be referenced by any other integration in the integration file.
Action variables are variables that are only available to the action in which they are defined.
Global variables are variables that can be referenced by any integration (and their actions) in the same integration file.
System variables are variables inherited from the system. They can be used within any integration.
Integration Builder allows you to create custom variables, both at the integration level and globally to support all the integrations in an integration file.
Use this dialog to insert variables into your integration or action.
