Specifying Application Parameters

You must define Application parameters as symbolic variables in the EVAR context. The syntax for defining Application parameters is as follows:

%EVAR.parameter_name

%EVAR

Specifies a symbolic variable in the EVAR context.

parameter_name

Specifies the Application parameter name.

Notes:

• Application parameter names can contain alphanumeric characters and underscores, but the first character cannot be numeric.
• Application parameters can be concatenated with strings or other Application parameters, for example, %(EVAR.emp_name)PayCalc or %EVAR.emp_ID.%EVAR.emp_NAME.
• Application parameter names are case-sensitive. For example, employee_name and Employee_name are two different parameters.

Example: Specifying an Agent Name as an Application Parameter

To specify an Agent name as an Application parameter

1. Open the Application in the Define perspective.

   The Application appears in the workspace.

2. Right-click a job, and select Edit from the pop-up menu.

   The Basic page of the job definition dialog opens.

3. Ensure that the Agent section is expanded.
4. Enter %EVAR.application_agent in the Agent field.
5. Click OK.

   The Agent name is defined as an Application parameter.
