    Placeholders

    Placeholder may be used in some fields of tasks. They are especially useful for email tasks, where you can generate the content of email according to context variables.

    Note: In most cases, you can avoid this by using email templates (See E-mail task for details)

    These fields are preprocessed by Apache Velocity templating engine. See the Velocity project URL for syntax description http://velocity.apache.org/. CloverDX is compatible with Apache Velocity v2.3.

    There are several context variables, which you can use in placeholders and even for creating loops and conditions.

    • event

    • now

    • user

    • run

    • sandbox

    Some of them may be empty depending on the type of the event. For example, if a task is processed because of a graph event, then run and sandbox variables contain related data, otherwise they are empty.

    Variable name Contains

    now

    Current date-time

    user

    The user, who caused this event. It may be an owner of a schedule, or someone who executed a graph. It contains sub-properties which are accessible using dot notation (i.e. ${user.email}) email:

    • user.email

    • user.username

    • user.firstName

    • user.lastName

    • user.groups (list of values)

    run

    A data structure describing one single graph execution. It contains sub-properties which are accessible using dot notation (i.e. ${run.jobFile})

    • job.jobFile

    • job.status

    • job.startTime

    • job.stopTime

    • job.errNode

    • job.errMessage

    • job.errException

    • job.logLocation

    tracking

    A data structure describing a status of components in a graph execution. It contains sub-properties which are accessible using the Velocity syntax for loops and conditions.

    #if (${tracking})
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
#foreach ($phase in $tracking.trackingPhases)
<tr><td>phase: ${phase.phaseNum}</td>
    <td>${phase.executionTime} ms</td>
    <td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
   #foreach ($node in $phase.trackingNodes)
      <tr><td>${node.nodeName}</td>
          <td>${node.result}</td>
          <td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
      #foreach ($port in $node.trackingPorts)
         <tr><td></td><td></td>
             <td>${port.type}:${port.index}</td>
             <td>${port.totalBytes} B</td>
             <td>${port.totalRows} rows</td></tr>
      #end
   #end
#end
</table>
#end
}

    sandbox

    A data structure describing a sandbox containing an executed graph. It contains sub-properties which are accessible using dot notation (i.e. ${sandbox.name})

    • sandbox.name

    • sandbox.code

    • sandbox.rootPath

    schedule

    A data structure describing a schedule which triggered this task. It contains sub-properties which are accessible using dot notation (i.e. ${schedule.description})

    • schedule.description

    • schedule.startTime

    • schedule.endTime

    • schedule.lastEvent

    • schedule.nextEvent

    • schedule.fireMisfired
