Parameter Sets

When you execute a project all component properties are initialized with the values stored in the repository. Parameter sets provide a way to overwrite some of these values. You can, for example, use Parameter Sets to change database connection settings when you move projects/jobs from development to production.

To use parameter sets, you:

StepsSelecting component properties as execution parameters

  1. Activate the External option from the popup menu on all component properties you want to use as execution parameters.

  2. Activate the Evaluate option from the popup menu on all component properties you want to assign an expression via a parameter set. Be sure to include all non-printing values, like Tab, CRLF, etc.

  3. Save the project.

NoteTry to provide unique names for at least all components that provide project parameters. You may also want to change the prompt and description of the properties.
