Creating Runtime Parameters

A Runtime parameter is a variable whose value can be defined and then called from within that same pipeline.

When you define a runtime parameter, you enter the default value to use. When you create or edit a job that includes a pipeline with runtime parameters, you can specify another value to override the default.

To create a runtime parameter, follow these steps:

1. Click Add Runtime Parameter . The New Runtime Parameter dialog box displays.
2. Provide the details as described in the following table:

   Table 2-4 Fields in New Runtime Parameter and their Descriptions

   Description	Enter the description for the runtime parameter.
   Datatype	Select the datatype for the runtime parameter from the drop-down list.
   Default Value	Provide the default values for the runtime parameter.

3. Click OK.The runtime parameter is created.
