Anonymous — Sat, 14 May 2016 18:48:04 GMT

1.I have created a parent job which call 10 child job.
2.build job - standalone
3. I am using windows environment - so going to use .bat file to execute the job.

My problem is.. I have used 2 context variables - opendate and closedate in all child jobs.
Now while executing I have to pass these 2 parameters.
How can I achieve this?

You need to define your context variables in your parent as well as the child Jobs.
You can then pass the values explicitly, or you can check "Transmit whole context" on each tRunJob.
You can then pass your parameters at runtime as a command line argument, for example: -
--context_param myString="value"

Thank you so much for your reply.
I am using windows environment. so, I am using .bat file for executing. To change the context value, I am editing the batch file.
My question now is how can I pass the parameter in command prompt with executable file (to avoid editing .bat file)
example: MyJobName "2016-01-01 00:00:00" "2016-02-01 00:00:00"
Thank you. Appreciate you for your time and effort for helping me.

At the end of the command line within the BAT file, you'll se the parameter "%*".
This means that any command line parameters that you pass to the BAT file, will be passed on.
