Replacements
Replacement indicators are placeholders that are evaluated at runtime, immediately before the process starts running. They are evaluated in processes used in the Orchestrator.
Syntax
${<Operator>:<Option>[:[<Offset>][(Length)][#Conversion[#Conversion]]]}
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
<Operator> | The operators are described in detail below |
<Option> | The option depends on the operator |
<Offset> | Optional: Provides an offset to the resulting value. If the offset is negative, it is taken from the end of the string. |
<Length> | Optional: Length of the resulting value |
<Conversion> | Optional: Additional conversion of the resulting value |
Example
${J:BUKRS:-2(2)#NUMC}
Result is the value of the parameter BUKRS taking the last 2 characters with a length 2 and convert it to a NUMC format.
Evaluation Order
Replacements are evaluated AFTER the any RedwoodExpressionLanguage (REL) expressions have been evaluated, provided the parameter is not Runtime. This means that you can specify REL expressions in replacements. Replacements in parameters that have the Runtime property set are not evaluated, the parameter will retain the replacement expression as In value.
Conversions
Conversions can be used inside the replacement.
