Variables

Introduction

A variable is a placeholder value that can be defined at the job level or pipeline level as required. You cannot define a variable at the stage level.

You can define the required variables for the pipeline as key-value pairs using the variables key.

YAML Code Snippet for Variable

You can declare a variable at the job level in the catalyst-pipelines.yaml file using the below syntax:

    

        
copy

Global Variables

You can define a variable at the pipeline level directly from the console. Refer to this help page to know the exact steps to create a variable.

Access the Variable

A variable can be accessed by using any of the following methods:

• « variables.{variable_name} » : This can be used to access any variable defined at the job level.

• « event.{variable_name} » : This can be used to access any variables passed in the event JSON while triggering the pipeline manually from the console.

• « env.{variable_name} » : This can be used to access variables defined in the pipeline level.
