How do I reference a workflow TAG_info form element / variable inside my command line of OpenDeploy when running a DNR job?

You can pass the workflow value into your OD routine by using the "-k" option when "iwodcmd start" (or iwodstart).

Pass your TAG_info value into a job variable and later in the job, have an external task call the OD. As mentioned above, you can declare any number of variables with the -k option when calling OD from the command line.

Current Environment(s):
(1) TS 6.5 on W2K3
(2) TS 6.1 SP1 on W2K3
By the way, I miss Unix terribly.

Since you've been posting about ControlHub recently, I'm going to assume that you're using ControlHub's workflows.

If your deployment task has a task variable set named "odSubst_ABCDEF" with a value of "XYZ", then your OD deployment will be executed with the substitution parameter named "ABCDEF" with a value of "XYZ". You can then use the parameter "ABCDEF" in your deployment configuration file however you wish.

Hope this helps.

yep. I found the odSubst_ trick a couple days ago to do what I was after. Worked like a charm.
