Run Time Variables
The RunTime Variables Action Step allows variables to be used that are completed at a Workflow's runtime.
The following variables can be used:
-
Project Name Name of the Workflow project
-
Project GUID GUID belonging to the Workflow project
-
Run GUID GUID relating to executing the Workflow (regenerated for each run)
-
Time Actual time as local time or UTC in configurable format
-
Time Actual date as local time or UTC in configurable format
-
HostName Name of Host system
-
UserName Name of the user
-
Random Positive random number (whole number) with configurable range of values. A different number is generated each time the workflow runs.
The Random variable is an integer value; all other variables are string variables.
It is not possible to debug the RunTime Variables Action Step. Debug functionality for this is therefore switched off in RPA Builder. This means that it is no longer possible to set a breakpoint for a RunTime Variables Action Step.
Properties
Write RunTime Variables to Logfile If this option is enabled, the RunTime variables are written to the Stc log file.
Wizard
The RunTime Variables Action Step wizard is used to specify whether variables are to be made available in all subsequent transactions (Make Variables available in all further Transactions checkbox). First select the type of variable you wish to add (Add new RunTime Variable combo box).
Use the Delete button to remove any variables that are no longer required.
The values listed under Sample Data in the wizard are used in a local test. If the Workflow is completed by a Bot, the values will re-determined at each runtime.
Then give a name to the variable to be produced and perform any settings required using the drop-down Settings menu.
