System Properties

System and Instance Properties

info

Properties are variables stored in the database that can be used throughout OpCon

• Defined with name and value

• Global Properties (OpCon Instance Properties) are variables associated with the entire environment
• Job Instance Properties are variables associated with a specific Job
• Schedule Instance Properties are variables associated with a specific Schedule
• Machine Instance Properties are variables associated with a specific Machine

System Properties vs User Defined Properties

• All Global Properties that begin with a dollar symbol ($) are known as System Properties
• System Properties give variable values dependent on the System
• Many of these system values can be format modified
  • Example: $DATE can be set to mmddyy, yyyymmdd, mm, etc.
• $DATE is the current date of the OpCon server
  • $SCHEDULE DATE is the date a Schedule was built
    • If a Schedule is built for January 1st at 23:50, but runs until January 2nd at 3:30, all $SCHEDULE DATE properties will be resolved to January 1st date

System Properties Offsets

• $DATE or $SCHEDULE DATE System Properties can be offset

• Example:

  • [[$DATEmmddyy(+1d)]] or [[$DATEmmddyy(-1d)]] for day offsets

• Offset Day

  • [[$DATEmmddyy(+1d)]] or [[$DATEmmddyy(-1d)]] for day offsets

• Offset Working Day

  • [[$SCHEDULE DATEmmddyy(+1wd)]] or [[$SCHEDULE DATEmmddyy(-1wd)]] for * Working Day offsets
    • $SCHEDULE DATE required for this Working Day offset

• Offset Month

  • [[$DATEmmddyy(+1m)]] or [[$DATEmmddyy(-1m)]] for day offsets
    • No offset specific for year – Use (+12m) or (-12m) to offset years

• End of Month

  • [[$DATEmmddyy(+1eom)]] Value finds the last day of current month
    • +1 is current month
    • +2 is next month
  • [[$DATEmmddyy(-1eom)]] Value finds the last day of previous month
