Click Finish. Open the Load Plan editor and go to the Steps tab.

14-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Developers Guide for Oracle Data Integrator The value of the variables are passed to the Load Plan on startup as startup parameters. At a step level, you can overwrite the variable value by setting it or forcing a refresh for this step and its child steps. You can use variables in Run Scenario steps - the value of the variable are passed as startup parameters to the scenario - or in CaseWhenElse steps for conditional branching. This section contains the following topics: ■ Declaring Load Plan Variables ■ Setting Variable Values in a Step

14.2.3.1 Declaring Load Plan Variables

To declare a Load Plan variable:

1. Open the Load Plan editor and go to the Variables tab.

2. From the Load Plan Editor toolbar, select Add Variable. The Lookup Variable

dialog is displayed.

3. In the Lookup Variable dialog, select the variable to add your Load Plan.

4. The variable appears in the Variables tab of the Load Plan Editor and in the

Property Inspector of each step.

14.2.3.2 Setting Variable Values in a Step

Variables in a step inherit their value from the value from the parent step and ultimately from the value specified for the variables when starting the Load Plan. For each step, except for Else and When steps, you can also overwrite the variable value, and change the value used for this step and its child steps. To override variable values at step level:

1. Open the Load Plan editor and go to the Steps tab.

2. In the Steps Hierarchy table, select the step for which you want to overwrite the variable value. 3. In the Property Inspector, go to the Variables section. The variables that are defined for this Load Plan are listed in this Variables table. You can modify the following variable parameters: Select Overwrite, if you want to specify a variable value for this step and all its children. Once you have chosen to overwrite the variable value, you can either: – Set a new variable value in the Value field. – Select Refresh to refresh this variable prior to executing the step. The Refresh option can be selected only for variables with a Select Query defined for refreshing the variable value. Note: At startup, Load Plans do not take into account the default value of a variable, or the historizedlatest value of a variable in the execution context. The value of the variable is either the one specified when starting the Load Plan, or the value setrefreshed within the Load Plan.
