Variables for DnR script/command

Friends,

We have OD7.3.2. Solaris as source. Target is Windows8.

Workflow build thru WFM calling deployment task which triggers DnR script. I need help to pass owner of the task info to DnR script as a param. I tried with $iw_user, $user, $owner and no luck. here is my dnr call for your review:

After reviewing couple of posts here in forum, I tried to add variable to deployment command, no luck. I want to use only OOTB instead of custom. Any valuable input/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards

Thiru

I think you'd first have to pass that value as a variable to OD, and then whatever name you choose for that variable would be available using the $syntax^. If you're using the Deploy task in WFM (non-PLC) then it's as simple as adding a task variable like odSubst_owner=$IWUSER. There are equivalent options whether you're using PLC, the CLT or the ODAPI to trigger your deployment.

Thanks for your response. Truly appreciate.

I tried like adding Owner=$IW_USER :-) may be that was wrong.

I will try with odSubst_owner=$IW_USER, but just want to confirm that "odSubst_owner" is accepted by WFM for Deploytask? If that works, then I can pass parameter as $odSubst_owner^. Pls correct me, if I am wrong.

Once again thanks for taking time to help.

Not quite. odSubst_VARNAME creates $VARNAME^.

This is documented in the WFM guide in the table for Deploy task attributes.
