making that determinationin each Informatica WorkFlow Job's definition.

Changein Behavior: Using Object Variables Instead of PUT_ATT Commands for RapidAutomation Field

 

Replacementsin Operations Manager v8.00 and Automic v9

 

Attributes of Rapid AutomationJobs may change when new versions of the Rapid Automation Agents are

 

released. When thishappens, :PUT_ATT commands defined in earlier versions of the Agentswill no longer work.

 

Therefore, in RapidAutomation Jobs, we recommend that you always use object variables for fieldreplacements,

 

not :PUT_ATT commands.

 

To change a Job from usinga PUT_ATT command to an object variable, do the following:

 

1. Removethe PUT_ATT command from the Job's Process or Pre-Process tab.

 

2. Add avariable to the Variables & Prompts tab of Job.

 

3. In thefield where you wish to replace a value, enter the object variable in theformat &<Variable># where

 

<Variable>represents the variable name you entered on the Variables &Prompts tab.
