Specifying Values for a Document Variable that Has Defined Content

You can assign values to Document variables that have defined content, including referenced documents and recursive documents. If part of the document tree is collapsed, you can expand it.

Tip: Click

to view and/or update your preferences for how Designer displays and expands the contents of Document variables.

Note: If the Document variable has no defined content, you can add String name/value pairs and then assign values. For more information, see Specifying Values for a Document Variable with No Defined Content.

Use the following procedure to specify values for a Document 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 values for a Document variable that has defined content

1. Select the variables within the Document, and provide values. For help for how to specify a value based on the variable’s data type, see one of the following:

For this type of variable...	See...
String	Specifying a Value for a String Variable
String List	Specifying Values for a String List Variable
String Table	Specifying Values for a String Table Variable

Object List	Specifying Values for an Object List Variable

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.

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.
