Storing variables with the documents

Stored variables can be used for scripting and statistics after the documents are retrieved from the Document Broker repository. To make a variable available after a document is stored, you must store the variable with the document at either Document Begin, Process Begin, Page Begin, or Document End.

Figure 6

Storing variables at Document Begin

A stored variable is only valid at the same level as it was stored. For example, a variable stored at Document Begin is valid until Document End, whereas a variable stored at Page Begin only is valid until the next Page Begin.

To store a variable

1	In the Runtime configuration view in Design Center, open the Runtime Output Connector Settings dialog box for the Document Broker Plus connector.

2	Activate the generic layer and click the Document Begin, Process Begin, Page Begin, or Document End icon.

3	Select the Stored Variables tab and click . The Add Stored Variable dialog box opens.

4	Enter the variable and click OK. The new variable is added to the Stored Variables list.
