Specifying a Value for an Object Variable

Service Development Help : Running Services : Supplying Input Values to a Service : Entering Input for a Service : Specifying a Value for an Object Variable

You can set values for most constrained Objects. You cannot assign values to:

Objects constrained as a byte [ ]

Unconstrained Objects (Objects of unknown type)

When you set values for constrained Objects, Designer automatically validates the values. If the value is not of the type specified by the Object constraint, Designer displays a message identifying the variable and the expected type.

Use the following procedure to specify value for an Object variable. You perform this procedure from:

The Input tab if you are working with a launch configuration

The Enter Input for serviceName dialog box if you are running or debugging a service

The Enter Input for variableName dialog box if you are assigning a value to a pipeline variable

To specify a value for an Object variable

1. In the Value column, specify a value that is of the type defined by the Object constraint.

2. If you want Integration Server to use the value you specified only when the variable does not contain a value at run time, clear the Overwrite pipeline value check box. (If you select this check box, Integration Server will always apply the value you specified.)

Note:

The Overwrite pipeline value check box is not available when using a launch configuration.

3. Do one of the following:

If you are working with a launch configuration, click Apply on the Input tab to save the value you entered. You can continue to specify values or click Run to execute the service.

If using the Enter Input for serviceName dialog box, continue to specify input values, or if you are finished, click OK to close the dialog box and execute the service.

If using the Enter Input for variableName dialog box, click OK to close the dialog box
