About this task

Note:
  • This feature is not available by default. Contact IBM® support to enable the feature.
  • Support is currently available only for Salesforce connectors that use credential-based authentication.

Procedure

  1. Open the Connectors tab.
  2. Click New account on an existing predefined connector.
  3. Select Credentials in the Authorization Type drop-down menu.
  4. Select Substitute project variables on applicable fields.
  5. Type your variable name in between two % symbols. For example, %Var1%. The value of this variable is substituted during run-time. If a variable does not exist, it is evaluated as a string. For example, if Var1 is not defined as a variable, then the usage of %Var1% substitution will result in %Var1% appearing in the output.
    Note: Changing the value of a project variable used in a connector account takes effect only after disabling and re-enabling the connector account. This applies to multiple run-time instances of Integration Server as well. For example, if you have two Integration Servers associated with a connector account, disable and re-enable this connector account to acquire the new variable value for both Integration Servers. In case you do not disable and re-enable the connector account, then except for one Integration Server the rest run the account with the latest variable value.
