Built-In Variables
Overview
Built-in variables are maintained by Universal Controller and provide information about task instances, agents, Universal Message Service (OMS), and cluster nodes. They can be used in free text fields in triggers, tasks, task actions, and email notifications for agents, OMS servers, and cluster nodes.
Supported built-in variables and their descriptions are provided below. All built-in variables are prefixed with ops_
.

Agent File Monitor Task Instance / Trigger Variables
When one or more tasks are launched by a Agent File Monitor trigger after the conditions in its associated Agent File Monitor task are met, the built-in variables described below are passed into the tasks being launched by the trigger.
For example, the Agent File Monitor trigger may specify the launch of a Windows task each time the associated Agent File Monitor task detects the creation of a specific file. The Windows task might use one of these built-in variables as a command argument. Or, if the Agent File Monitor task is not associated with a trigger but is running within a workflow, on completion you can propagate one or more of these built-in variable values to the parent workflow level using the Set Variable action. This allows you to pass information from the Agent File Monitor task to a successor task within the same workflow hierarchy.

File Transfer Task Instance Variables
For UDM Scripts
These File Transfer variables are available for use in UDM scripts.
The Source and Destination variables are the legacy variables. The Primary and Secondary variables are new for Universal Controller 7.0.0.0.
A UDM Script using the legacy variables will continue to work; those variables will be replaced with the new ones before the script is sent to the Agent.
Note
These variables differ from all other built-in variables in that they are resolved by Universal Data Mover (UDM) on a UDM agent, not by the Universal Controller. File Transfer variables are sent to an agent unresolved and UDM performs all resolution for them. The resolved value is never available to the Controller.
Unlike the syntax of built-in variables resolved by Universal Controller - ${<variable-name>
} - the syntax of File Transfer variables is the same as all UDM variables - $(<variable-name>)
.
The following example illustrates the correct way to code them:

Task Monitor Task Instance/Trigger Variables
When the conditions of a Task Monitor task are met and its associated Task Monitor trigger launches one or more tasks, the following built-in variables are passed into the task instances being launched by the trigger.
For example, the Task Monitor trigger may specify an Email task that will launch each time the conditions in the associated Task Monitor task are met. You might want to specify one or more of these variables in the body of the email.
If the Task Monitor task is not associated with a trigger but is running within a workflow, on completion you can propagate one or more of these built-in variable values to the parent workflow level by using the Set Variable action. This allows you to pass information from the Task Monitor task to a successor task within the same workflow hierarchy.
