Hi,

when I try to use a global Parameter (which contains the Environment I am using) in my Subject, I just get a Mail with the Parameter, but not its Value.

So:
How can I easily differ where my notification Mails are from (Environment)

Thanks,

Jenny

I successfully tested this in my 8.1.05 environment. I set the global variable &&ENVIRONMENT ie. -SET &&ENVIRONMENT='Test 8105'; in my server profile edasprof.prf and referenced it in the subject in my notification of the schedule and it worked like a charm. If this continues to be an issue please open a case with techsupport so they can debug it.

Good one Chuck. I just used this concept.

I am a bit confused. Aren't the RC Jobs set up in a predetermined environment? If so, then the environment in which they are created is known, thus, it can be hard-coded in the subject line.

Or, is this just a Proof of Concept for the use of Global variables in RC?

thanks @FP Mod Chuck für trying.

I'm testing in 8204, and my edasprof.prf contains the global variable as well

Can you retest with 8204??

@Doug what do you mean with "envirnment is known", I Need it in a written form somewhere in my Scheduler notification mail, sothat I know where the mail is from.

I am working on 8204 and I was able to replicate what Chuck did. It works prefectly fine in 8204

Jenni - Just in case this may be your issue. You can't have -EXIT in the fex that is being scheduled as this will cause the variable in the subject to not resolve.

I think Jenni is creating schedules in one environment and using change management to promote them so the variable value will change as it moves to another environment without needing to change a hard coded value.

Thanks Chuck, I wasn't thinking about using CM to migrate the RC Jobs. So, with that in mind, It's perfectly clear.
