Note!

For instructions on how to define basic parameters, see External Reference (4.01).

A parameterizable profile field can be used as a template and its value can be set per workflow. The parameter syntax is ${category.name}. By using this syntax, a Dynamic Fields Tab (4.01) of type string is created. The value of the field is set as a workflow parameter and the value will be replaced when the workflow is executed.

Profile fields supporting parameterization are marked with a (dollar sign) icon. Currently, the following profiles supports use of parameterization:

Info

Example - How to parametrize and add a list of brokers for Kafka workflows

  1. In the Kafka profile , select the checkbox Use parameterized broker list and set a name for your list parameter, for example ${kafka.brokerList}:

  2. In your workflow, open up the Workflow Properties, and select your list parameter.

  3. Now you can set the list of brokers per workflow in your Workflow Table. Syntax notation must follow JSON standards:


    You can also set the values in the ECD Helm chart:

Code Block
languagetextthemeEclipse
   workflows:
  - template: "Default.wf1"
    instances:
    - name: "wf"
      useExtRef: "{}"
      parameters: "{\"brokers\":\"[{\\\"host\\\": \\\"localhost\\\", \\\"port\\\"\
        : 1337}, {\\\"host\\\": \\\"other-host\\\", \\\"port\\\":22}]\",\"topic\"\
        :\"my-topic\"}"
