<Variables>

The <Variables> element is a child of the <Step> element, used to defines variables that will be set by the step. This element is the parent of one or more <Variable> elements.

Each <Variable> element maps a property of the step’s target business object to a variable name. You can use variables for the LoadId property of a <Link> element, or for the Source property of a DataMap element. To use a variable, put the variable name in curly brackets.

This table describes each attribute of the <Variable> element:
