nested vars - possible to use?

[AlexGg]

Is it possible to use something like ${${varName}}, where ${varName} has e.g. ciName value, which also is variable, which contains e.g. domainName, and so on ?

if

${varName}=ales

${ales}=nick

${nick}=1941

after reading of something like ${${${varName}}}

I will get '1941'

Hi Alex,

As I understand you are trying to use variables as Jarrays with pointers. Best of my knowledge, you cannot use this in OO like you tried. But it might be useful to try to use JSON format to achieve that result. Just search for JSON arrays and JSON pointer. It might help you.

Regards.

Thanks, do you mean in general search or in oo?

I mean general, google it! 🙂

Another scenario I faced: I read the file with proper System Property name, e.g. ${eMailToSend} which has in OO content e.g. ala@blah.net. When I read this in variable I se it has ${eMailToSend}, but I am not able to get its value: ala@blah.net to use... I stuck.. and perhaps need some fresh air... anybody?

Hi,

Maybe you can try to user "Set Flow Variable" Operation under the "Utility Operations/Flow Variable Manipulation". With this operation you can use variables like a pointer. While getting the values you can use "Flow Variable Resolver" operation in the reverse sequence.

Thank you. Still not sure what to do with that, but will check it out. Meanwhile I got a question: if operation has its scriptlet, and I use that operation in my flow and will apply my scriptlet in that operation, what will be the order to execute that scriptlets?

Hi Alex,

You did not mean scriptlet tab; you meant scriptlet filter in outputs, right?

If an operation has a (pre-response) scriptlet, you can not add an another scriptlet, you can just edit the existing scriptlet and add your own code in the (pre-response) scriptlet tab.

But in the outputs the you can add scriptlet filters as many as you needed(You can sort the execution order)

As my experiences, in general rule, the result filters executes first. And the operations pre-response scriptlet executes at last.

But in some cases, it changes how to code your pre-response scriptlet. If you use "scriptletInput" parameter as an input in the script, it gives you raw result, not the filtered results. So be aware while using "scriptletInput" parameter in the pre-response scriptlet.
