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. Configure a filter using the steps in Configuring Filters.
2. Define the filter condition using Expression Builder.
3. Click Add. The New Runtime Parameter dialog box is displayed.
