Available Objects

Available objects are represented by a two-character, alphabetical code that indicates the source of the data and determines how the data is used in reports and batch processes at runtime.

This table describes the available objects that are defined for batch processing:

SV	System variables. Values that represent environment variables that are made accessible to event rules.
SL	System values. Values that represent constant system values that have been made accessible to event rules.
