You can temporarily modify parameters and variables for each execution of your job to experimentally determine their best values. The values you enter into these tables are only used when you run the job from the Run Options window. The values you originally defined for these parameters and variables are not permanently changed by the values you specify in these tables.

Value Type Description
Parameters Set parameter values related to your job during runtime. A parameter is a local variable. The parameters you define while creating your job are shown in the table under the Parameters tab.
  • Arguments - Set argument values passed to your job through Arguments dialog box.
Variables Set values for user-defined and environment variables related to your job during runtime.
