How to upload shared context variables

christopher_sue — Fri, 22 Jul 2016 23:41:15 GMT

I'm trying out the integration cloud and built a standard job in the studio. I've published the job to the cloud but it doesn't seem to publish the context from the shared repository. I get a null pointer when trying to access those context variables.
How do we upload a shared context repository?
Thanks
Chris

Hello Chris
Sorry for the delayed response. Where do you access the context variables? In another job?

Your solution architect informed me that there is a specific naming convention. Apparently shared contexts are connections so you have to have "connection_contextgroupname_variable". so if you have a context group called sfdc and fields username, password, you have to create it like "connection_sfdc_username" and "connection_sfdc_password" in your studio job. Then in TIC, you have to create a connection with sfdc as the name and the variables are "username" and "password". And if you want to use local job contexts, they have to be "parameter_variable" in your studio job and will show up as "variable" in TIC. Quite specific for it to work.
