The context variables of a job are stored in a static file called Default.properties, it is not translated in the Java code, you can find this file if you export the job script. <BR />You have to import manually the context variables from repository. <BR />Best regards <BR />Shong Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:47:35 GMT Anonymous 2014-12-18T09:47:35Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Talend-Studio/resolved-What-is-happening-when-propagating-changes-in-context/m-p/2284174#M57925 Hello, <BR />i´m pretty new to Talend, but i´ve already discovered and played around with the concept of "contexts". There is one thing that makes me wonder: <BR />I assume that the variable settings in contexts are saved in some kind of java-object that ist built/populated when running a job - at least i can not find the variables values in the code of my individual jobs. If that is the case, why do i need to "propagate" changes to variable values to all my jobs? I´ve also compared a jobs code before and after propagation, and there was no difference? <BR />What i had expected from "propagation" was that new variables in context groups were added to the jobs "containing" these groups, but that does'nt seem o happen - if i introduce a new context variable to a context group i have to add it manually to all my jobs? <BR />Thank you in advance for enlightening me in this matter :-) <BR />Best regards <BR />Markus Mon, 15 Dec 2014 07:54:19 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/Talend-Studio/resolved-What-is-happening-when-propagating-changes-in-context/m-p/2284174#M57925 Anonymous 2014-12-15T07:54:19Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Talend-Studio/resolved-What-is-happening-when-propagating-changes-in-context/m-p/2284175#M57926 Hi&nbsp; <BR />If you have modified the context variable from repository, for example, modify the value of context variable, &nbsp;you are required to propagate the changes to all the job which are using this variable.
