EFT Variables

This section provides details of the EFT context variables. EFT uses context variables to pull data from the database. The variable contains specific information about an Event. You can use the variables in Event Rules, email notifications, and Advanced Workflows.

• How to Use EFT Context Variables

• Advanced Workflow Variables - Properties associated with Advanced Workflows, used when the Execute Advanced Workflow Action is added to an Event Rule.

NOTE: In the Advanced Workflows module, variables cannot contain periods; therefore, in each variable that contains a period, the period is replaced with an underscore. For example, change %CONNECTION.LOCAL_IP% to
%CONNECTION_LOCAL_IP%

• AS2-Related Variables - Status of AS2 transfers (available only in AS2-related Event triggers)

• Cloud Variables - Used in the Download from Cloud Storage Action and Send Email Notification for Cloud Event Rules

NOTE: The Cloud Connector Module (CCM) is required for all cloud-based activities.

• Connection Variables - IP address, port, etc. for connecting to EFT

• Event Properties Variables - Name, date, time, reason, etc. for Event trigger

• File System Variables - File name, date, size, path, etc. that was transferred; also report name and content

• Remote Agent Variables - Properties associated with Remote Agent activities, such as Remote Agent template name, status, last update, and so on.

• Scheduler (Timer) Rule Variables - Used for Scheduler (Timer) Rules (For file operation triggers, use File System Variables.)

• Server Variables - Server status, logs, and computer name

• Site Variables - Site URL and status

• Transfer Properties Variables - Properties associated with the transfer: Speed, size, and seconds to transfer

• User Variables - User name, login information, etc.

• Workspaces-Related Variables - Virtual/physical path, owner, and so on.
