Enhanced variable resolution

Experience reliable and consistent variable resolution when submitting jobs or job streams directly from the Dynamic Workload Console

When you define a job using either the Workload Designer or the Graphical Designer, you can use variables to add flexibility to your job definitions. The value of each variable must be specified in a variable table. IBM® Workload Scheduler then evaluates and resolves the variables automatically when you perform a test connection or submit the job.

This enhanced variable resolution provides the following capabilities:

Supported variable syntax

You can define variables in your job definitions using either of the following standard formatting conventions:

• ^variable_name^
• ${variable_name}

Nested variable support

To accommodate complex scenarios, you can also use nested variables; you can embed variables within other variables, dynamically building and resolving complex values at run time.
