use talend job-name as variable

_AnonymousUser — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 13:26:37 GMT

Hello,
I'd like to use the name of the TOS-job within the job itself.
Is this possible? How do I get this information?
I'm coding in java.
Tkanks a lot!

Hello
Yes, there is a global var: jobName, for example:
on tJava:
String name=jobName;
System.out.println(name);
tip: press ctrl+blank space in any text filed, you will see a list of global vars and context vars, eg: jobName, projectName.
Best regards

Hi m_shiva2003
You can access the context group with this variable contextStr in the job.

Hi
No a documentation or article lists the these global variables yet, however I think there should be one. I will create a jire issue for this.

Hi Shong

In Talend Open Studio for DI 8.0.1, to have the job name itself as a string use the built-in "jobName" variable: e.g. System.out.println(jobName);
