Env Variables in Transformer

Hi All,

Is it not possible to insert Env variables in the stage variables of Transformer , we are receiving compilation error on doing the same.

Thanks.

You can insert Env variable. $ENV_VARIABLE there are no '#' . there must be some other error, like a missing ':'.

thank you,

Use the transform function GetEnv() I believe. Double check its name, it will be the last transform function category and the only function in that category.

Thanks for the answer, we have tried out that option, but the result is same, no error when we write in the Transformer but we are getting compilation error.

Can you post your derivation?
Also, you need to give the environment variable inside GetEnv() and not the job parameter.

We are invoking the function GetEnvironment from the Transformer and as the argument to it passing the Env Variable that has been declared in the job prop-parameters tab.We are chhosing the env variables from the ellipsis and then JobParameter.

Thanks.

Well, it should work. Thats why it is there. I am not at a px site so cannot check that for you.
If you have the value defined in the job properties, then you can just specify the environment variable. You do not even need to invoke the GetEnvironment() function.

Initially I was trying that way, without the function.
