Variables

Package variables are used to store and manage data within a package, enabling dynamic and flexible execution. They act as placeholders for values that can be referenced, modified, and passed between different actions in the package.

Tracking Variable changes

A single variable can be modified by multiple actions. Tracking these changes can be done using the “Write Variables” option.

1. The Write Variables option ensures that the “Package Action” logs the variable values into the “Action vars before log file” before the action is executed and logs the updated variable values into the “Action vars after log file” after the action completes.
2. This option is not recommended in a production environment.
3. It can be globally disabled through the options dialog .

Variables tab

This tab displays all variables and their values prior to the execution of an action.

Variables Updated tab
