Export/Import Stage Variables
Hello,
I created about 30 stage variables in a job that are being reused for multiple calculations. I need to recreate these in a similar job and I was wondering if there was a way to export and import these stage variables across jobs.
Thanks

Not that I know of but perhaps others are aware of a mechanism. I would copy them (name, derivation, initial value, etc.) out to a scratch document and then paste them in the new job. If you are feeling adventurous, export the two jobs and copy in the stage variables portion from first job's dsx file to the second job and import.
Is there any possibility of putting the transformer in a shared container? Depending on how "similar" the two are, of course.

You can copy the stage variables in one Transformer stage and paste them in another.
You can also do this with columns, and you get the choice to paste the columns or just the column derivations when pasting on an output link.

I feel like I am missing some of these copy/paste tricks.... in the same line of thinking:
Are there also ways to copy job parameters easily (I know I can copy the source job if starting from scratch, but its really hard to take a set from 1 job into another, export import is all I know for that)? And the other one, is there a way to fix a sequence job's target job, to switch from say one version to another, without losing the parameters? (Also fixable with export import as a last resort).
