URL parameter syntax
You can insert parameters in the input URL of the ARIS Table, CSV, Excel, JSON, and XML operators, as well as in the configuration of a Call URL action.
A parameter reference is represented by the parameter name in square brackets. The name must be enclosed in quotes, in case it contains special characters.
Examples
http://[domain]
["web address"]
A literal square bracket can be represented by doubling it, for escaping from its interpretation as a parameter reference introducer. Thus the example http://[[::1]]:8080 does not refer to a parameter, but represents the IPv6 loopback address literal [::1].
At runtime, parameter references will be replaced by the value of their parameter.
A parameter reference may have options appended to it. Options appear inside of the square brackets and are separated by commas. There are two supported options:
*encode-value="true" causes URL encoding of the resulting parameter string
*format="format string" causes a numeric or date value to be converted to text with given format
Examples
http://localhost:8080/[path,encode-value="true"]
http://localhost:[port,format="1234"]
