Set Structured Variable

Assign a value to a structured (complex) variable, in which the variable represents output that is summarized or aggregated from preceding nodes in the runbook. There are two types of structured variable:

• Complex Summarized Data — Summarized output from a Decision Branch or Transform node using definition from a variable. This must have a subtype to indicate what it represents, e.g. “Application Summary Data” or “Custom Summary Data”.

• Complex Time Series Data — Any time series output from a Decision Branch or Transform node using definition from a variable. This must have a subtype to indicate what it represents, e.g. “Application Time Series” or “Custom Time Series”.

Properties

Node Label — Type an informative name for the Set Structured Variable node. You can keep the system-provided default of "Set Structured Variable" if you wish.

Debug — Select Debug if you want to receive debug data when the node executes.

Variables to Set

Specify the variable. (Only one can be set per node.)

• Scope — Choose the scope in which to set the variable's value. This is the environment, or set of conditions, within which the variable and its value are relevant.

  • Runtime Scope

  • Incident Scope

• Variable Name — Choose an existing variable from the pulldown.
