Using Runtime Parameters
Runtime parameters are parameters that you define in a pipeline and then call from within that same pipeline. When the pipeline runs, the value replaces the name of the runtime parameter. Use runtime parameters to define values for stage and pipeline properties.
When you start the
pipeline, you can override the parameter values defined in the pipeline. For example,
you can define a directory parameter that points to a directory on a
production system and override it during testing to point to a directory on a test
system.
Note: If you shut down and then restart Data Collector
without stopping the pipeline, the pipeline continues running with the last set of
parameter values.
To implement runtime parameters, perform the following steps:
- Define runtime parameters.
- Use an expression in the pipeline to call a runtime parameter.
- Start the pipeline with parameter values.
When you monitor a pipeline started with parameters, you can view the parameter values that the pipeline is currently using.
