Re: Assign global variable from job Command: using ctmvar

In addition, the "abc123" is actually the result from piped grep and cut statements

Is it possible to assign autoedit variables from sysout?

Hello

Say I have a sysout that contains the line (amongst other things)
FILENUM=23

Is it possible to assign the number of files (23) to %%FileNum by reading the sysout somehow?

Thanks

How to pass Unix hostname to ctm variable

Hello

How do I pass the current hostname to a Control-M variable?

I have the hostname defined in nodes/node_groups so that it is transparent when we promote to SIT, UAT and PRD and so it's only hardcoded within configuration manager.

Thanks for your help.

Please excuse my newbieness :oops: So, correct me if I'm wrong, what you're saying is that I add add a variable (say submission_number) in the SET tab of the first job in the group and assign it %%submission_id.
