• A Job Resource can hold any number of variables. Such variables are available for JVM Jobs from arguments and for Shell Jobs from environment variables.
• A Job Resource environment variable is automatically available as a local environment variable to a Shell Job.

  • If a Workflow is assigned the Job Resource then the environment variables of the Job Resource will be propagated to all the Shell Jobs in the workflow.

  • If a Job is assigned the Job Resource then this job can use the propagated environment variables of the Job Resource.
• As a result you users can add a variable such as BusinessDate to an existing or to a new Job Resource. You  Users  can then assign the Job Resource to a Workflow to make it available to all jobs or limit its scope by assigning it to an individual Job.

...

• Users can create a workflow with a single job that updates the businessDate variable.
• The workflow is triggered by an order from JS7 - Schedules to switch the business date, for example, at midnight in the relevant time zone and for specific days.

The job example for updating a business date uses the shell script explained with the JS7 - How to update a Job Resource using the REST Web Service API from the Shell article.

Users have to download the shell script, make it executable and available in a directory that can be accessed by the Agent.

The job performs the following operations:

• connect to the JOC Cockpit with the indicated user account.
• reading the Job Resource.
• updating the businessDate variable to the current date and specifying the desired date format.
• storing the updated businessDate variable in the Job Resource.
• deploying the updated Job Resource.
• disconnecting from JS7.

• Consider use of the following shebang in the first line of the job script:
  @@setlocal enabledelayedexpansion & @@findstr/v "^@@f^@@[fs].*&" "%~f0" | pwshpowershell.exe -NonInteractive -Command - &goto:eof& exit !errorlevel!/b&
• The PowerShell executable pwsh.exe is available starting from PowerShell 6.0. PowerShell releases 5.x use the executable powershell.exe that can be used accordingly with the shebang.
• For details about the PowerShell shebang see the JS7 - How to run PowerShell scripts from jobs article.
