Override variables


Version 1.19 introduces the notion of override in a variable. This option offers the opportunity to enforce the value of a variable using a config file.

Config file

To enforce the value of one or more variables, you must enlist them in the variables element of the config file. The attribute name specifies the name of the overriden variable, the attribute value specifies the value to apply to this variable and finally the attribute type sepcifies the type of the variable (could be text, numeric, dateTime or boolean).

<nbi ...>
  <variables>
    <add name="myDate" value="2013-12-01" type="DateTime"/>
    <add name="myNum" value="187" type="Numeric"/>
  </variables>
</nbi>
