Variable simulation enables you to view the resolved value of the variable and/or command that contains the variable, without the need to Check In or save your Workspace. You can resolve variables that are defined in the job, Sub-folder or SMART folder, and global/pool variables that are defined in any of its parent folders.
For more information about how to view a simulation of the command after the job is submitted, see OS job parameters. For more information about how to view the resolved value of the variable see Adding a variable.
NOTE: Relevant for Control-M version 9.0.18 and above.
The following table describes the tabs and fields in the Variables Simulation window.
NOTE: Only variables that are resolved before or during job submission are simulated. This includes Job Submission Variables, System Variables, User-defined Variables, Global Variables and Pool Variables as described in Variables.
