Parameters normally are fixed values. In some cases, you want to calculate a paramter value in step A and then want to use this as a part of a parameter value in step B.
To do this you have two possibilities.
1.Using node parameters. These parameters can contain values like ${par}. This will be substituted at runtime with the value of order parameter par
2.Using internal substitution. Some jobs of JITL are providing substitution as well.
Sample for 1.Using node Parameters
In this sample we have a job chain with two jobs
If you run this sample, you will see the line in the log:
(Task sample/job_using_param:3156) myParam has the value value_myValue
