How can I -SET something based on a system variable which is not passed in from RC and is needed for proper execution of a fex which is submitted via RC? What I’m doing is as follows: -SET &CNCT = IF &IBIMR_domain EQ 'X' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'Z' ; Where 'X' is a valid value FOR &IBIMR_domain and &IBIMR_domain is a WebFOCUS / system variable. This is WebFOCUS 536 / AIX, Thanks, Doug

Use && Global variables in one of the preprocesses to vary the action of rcaster jobs.

If you want a process to prompt for parameters and then run in the background use deferred execution.

Or you can set the variables in RC

Edit -> Task -> Advanced

There you will see the variables

hey Doug, nice to see you on the Point.
If you put your -SET &CNT into a pre-processing fex for the caster task, the question i have is would the task fex itself run in the same agent as the preprocessing fex?
I dont know that it does...
Even if you set it as a &&CNT, would it die between pre-processing and task-processing?
John? Frank?

Thanks everyone for the input (Hi Susannah. Nice to be on the point - aka: Leading Bleeding Edge).

The problem is: I need to set a variable for "ENGINE SQLORA ... [connection]" based on the folder [abcdefgh/abcdefgh.htm]. However, that System Variable, &IBIMR_domain, is not available in my procedure and needs to be set in Report Caster. This defeats the idea of a procedure setting a variable dynamically.

More Thoughts?
