Import of Variables

User variables are imported as a combination of name and value.

These mapping types are applicable for importing the variable:

Mapped data Note
%Variables.Name Variable name
%Variables.Value Variable value

Validation rules

These validation rules are applicable for importing variables:

  • If the specified variable name is a System variable, the variable is rejected, and the import process fails with this error message:
    APACS208=Variable "${0}" is a system variable and cannot be modified.
    Where, {0} = variable name rejected.
  • If a variable name does not adhere to the valid variable names definition, the variable is rejected and the import process fails with this error message:
    APACS291=Invalid variable name "{0}". Variable names can only contain alphabetical characters and underscores. Variable names cannot contain spaces, numbers, or punctuation characters.
    Where, {0} = Invalid variable name.
  • If the imported variables already exist, the value is overridden.
  • If the import variables do not exist, the variable is created.
  • All existing variables which are not provided in the import, remain unchanged.
  • If the variable values are specified as NULL, considered empty.
