Dynamically populate Parameter sets

[bensonian]

Is there a way we can populate 'Parameter sets' with a dynamical date value. Let's say I have two environments and each every environment has its own value file.

I was wondering if there is a way we can dynamically assign 'current system timestamp' value to the parameter set value files. I know that in the value files you can assign $PROJDEF to refer to project default settings. But I am not too sure if there is a $ (something) in DS that would acheive the intended purpose.

Appreciate your help.

I personally don't put parameters that can change on a day-to-day or run-to-run basis into a parameter set. I tend to use them for the environment-facing variables that change on an infrequent basis. But you can provide run-time values to parameters in a parameter set just like you would for any regular job parameter.

No, there's nothing the way you're thinking. However, there's nothing to stop you updating/rewriting the value file itself, perhaps in a before-job subroutine or in an upstream job, routine or command activity in the job sequence.

Values files for parameter sets are stored in a directory named for the parameter set (and its category) in the project directory on the server.
