• to populate environment variables that are used in job scripts,
• to populate node arguments,
• to be evaluated with by an expression of a JS7 - If Instruction

...

A mapping is performed with the "Environment Variables" sub-tab of the job property editor:

ExplanationsExplanation:

• The property editor suggests to use the names of order variables for environment variables.
  • Environment variable names are automatically converted to uppercase letters.
• Similarly the values of order variables are suggested with a $ prefixing the name of the variable.
  • Consider that only names of existing order variables can be used as the value for an environment variable.

...

Environment variables can used with Job scripts considering according to the syntax of the respective operating system that the job is executed for:

...

Using Node Arguments

Node Arguments are typically are used in a situation when the same job occurs more than once in a Workflow. The basic assumption is that the job will make use of the same variables that should carry different values per node in which the job is used.

• Consider that node arguments cannot be modified dynamically - which is why they are called arguments, not variables. 
• Node arguments are similarly available for mapping to environment variables as in a similar manner to order variables.
