Introduction
Parameters can can be set for Jobs and and for Orders.
...
Note that when jobs are programmed using the JobScheduler API, job and order parameters are separate objects. Order parameters have priority over - i.e. will overwrite - job parameters of the same name.
Parameters allow a general purpose jobs to be created that are then provided with specific information via the parameters. For example, the file name, current location and target address for a file transfer job could be easily specified using parameters.
Parameters can be used to provide information for either shell jobs - i.e. jobs that run a shell script - or API jobs - i.e. jobs that use the JobScheduler's API Interface. The most widely used API jobs are the JITL - JobScheduler Integrated Template Library jobs that can be included as part of each JobScheduler installation and allow the JobScheduler to carry out a wide range of standard functions.
