l
Preset Names: Select the appropriate Job Preset file. Listed are the Job Presets that are
present in the Connect Resources (see "Connect resources" on page38).
l
Runtime Parameters: The Runtime Parameters defined in the selected Job Creation Preset are
displayed and their values can be edited here. Right-click the field to open the contextual menu
that allows to select variables, data and lookup functions (see "Data selections" on page49).
Note that it is not possible to change a parameter's type here; that can only be set in the Job
Creation Preset itself.
At runtime, Workflow passes the parameter values as strings, and the type defined in the Job
Creation Preset will be used to try and parse the input parameter value. In order to make this
work:
o
Boolean values need to be entered as either “true” or “false”. (When the comparison actu-
ally occurs, it will be a full Boolean comparison. Thus it can compare this runtime para-
meter with Boolean data values that are stored as 0/1 in data fields.)
o
Numeric string values need to be parseable as a number (either a whole integer or decimal
value).
o
Dates should be in an ISO8601 compatible format (e.g. 2019-10-15) or use the current Win-
dows Locale date settings options.The latter is not recommended as it requires all com-
puters in the cluster have the same locale data format.
The order of the parameters doesn't affect the way they are handled at runtime.
Note: Backslashes (\) and double quotes (") in a JSON string must be escaped with a back-
slash (\\, \") if the JSON string is passed via a global, local, or Job Info variable.
If the JSON is entered directly in the runtime parameter field, the plugin adds the neces-
sary backslashes.
Output Creation Tab
The Output Creation step generates the output for the current job, using the selected Output Creation
Preset. Note that the Job Creation task normally necessary when using the individual tasks is impli-
citly executed before output creation.
l
Output Preset: Select the appropriate Output Creation Preset to use:
l
"None": Select to prevent the execution of Output Creation.
l
"%o": Select to use a dynamic Output Preset name. Click on %o to change the expression
that determines the name of the Preset to use.
