Example
The following Job script example defines two contexts: Test (default context) and Prod, each with one variable named child_job of type String. For context Test, the predefined variable value is child_1, while for context Prod it is child_2. When the Job is executed, a text message Specify the Job to run: is displayed.
DEFAULT_CONTEXT: Test,
ContextType {
NAME: Test
addContextParameter {
NAME: child_job,
TYPE: "id_String",
VALUE: "child_1",
PROMPT: "Specify the Job to run:",
PROMPTNEEDED: true
}
}
ContextType {
NAME: Prod
addContextParameter {
NAME: child_job,
TYPE: "id_String",
VALUE: "child_2",
PROMPT: "Specify the Job to run:",
PROMPTNEEDED: true
}
}
