Variables for tools


The following variables can be used in the Parameters box in the Configure Tools dialog box, Details tab.

Management server variables

Message variables

Some variables return TRUE or FALSE, depending on the existence of a specific message attribute. For example, if an automatic action is defined, TRUE is returned. Otherwise FALSE is returned.

If an attribute is empty, an empty string is returned. If you use an attribute that does not exist, it is treated like part of a normal string, which means no evaluation happens and the string remains unchanged. The data returned from variables is exactly the same type as that shown in the Message Properties dialog box. The indexing for word extraction from strings and for access to specific annotations starts with 1, not with 0.

All message variables are replaced per message. This means that if you select two messages, you will receive two requests; each of them might have different values for the parameters.
