Using Bind Variables

PeopleSoft processes can include bind variables. You can use AE in order to schedule these processes and assign values to them.

The following functions interact with each other. Use these functions in the following way:

• PS_SET_BINDVAR replaces a value that you can either predetermine in AE Script or retrieve via a Run Control ID.
• Subsequently, call the script function PS_RUN_PROCESS to start and monitor a process. In doing so, bind variable values are considered.

Using this function requires the PeopleTools database to be configured. The individual steps are explained in the installation chapter.

Important! CA Automic recommends extensive tests being made for jobs that replace values for bind variables before they are used in the production system. The values have a particular format (such as the date format) that must be kept. Extensive testing is essential because the particular spelling can differ and cannot be checked.
