What error message? How exactly are you using the job parameter ?

I am using $parameter_name in the expression editor of the transformer stage

Try right clicking in the expression editor to build an expression with the correct syntax. One of the options on the right click menu is to add a job parameter.

... read 'Derivation' instead of expression editior in my previous post

I am using the "job parameter" option from the list of options after the right click. And it is inserting $parameter_name.

Note: This parameter is added to the job from "user defined env variables"

Whats the error message, and what's the derivation that uses the environment variable?

Looking in Director does the environment variable have a value?

Instead of using the Job Parameter, try GetEnvironment($Parameter) and delete dollar sign. It worked for me.
