Environment Variable passed to Shared Container

I am trying to call a Shared container from a job. The job design is

 File - > SharedContainer - > File

the design of the container is

Code: Select all

 -> Transformer -> File

The job has a Env Param $FilePath = $PROJDEF. The shared contaiiner also has a parmater: Path = #$FilePath#/subdir.

In the shared container the parameter is used in two places one in the transformer to a routine and the other as the path for the file location.

Problem: The varibale is resolved at run time correctly for the file path but not in the transformer because in the transformer Env variable should be used without the #'s.

Did you build the expression(s) with the Expression Editor?

You probably need to map the job parameter to the container parameter in the container's properties tab.

I didn't use the expression builder of the transformer. I just map the Env vaiable defined in the job to the coresponding parameter in Container Property, and then i am using the Container param in Transformer stage and File stage.
