DSXchange

Hello.
i have some passwords saved in environment variables.
Trying to load them, in some cases (cannot understand which ones) when i read environment variables settings at the beginning of the sequence job, i can see some of them are shown by DS with encrypted value... but some is shown as '' (blank)... never happened to you?
trying to load this strange variable in another sequence job, i can see encrypted value, and all works fine....

Can you help me?

Thanks...

I've never seen this behaviour. What default value do you give the job parameter that references this environment variable?

no default value...
it's environment variable, encrypte... cannot set to $PROJDEF... i just see *******

now i found a walkthrough... i call, from my sequence job which cannot see the variable, the sequence one which sees the variable... and it works!
but i wanted to understand why so a strange behaviour

You CAN set to $PROJDEF. It's just that encrypted job parameters only echo "*" characters as they're being typed in.

did it, but setting to $PROJDEF does not solve my problem

Go to the Job Properties of the job, delete the environment variable and re-add it.
This has helped me a couple of times.

If a parameter seems to be set in the Administrator and is coming through as blank in the job there is usually a minor misspelling somewhere in the process.

i don't think of misspelling...
variables name imported as job parameters from same environment.
saved in the same way on 2different jobs.
imported not typing, but picking them up from job variables...

i cannot see a misspelling.
