In Visual Overview, when you link a shape to execute an automation script, is it possible to use a page or session variable to specify the name of a dummy element?

Yes, that should be possible using the [var:] placeholder.

See Placeholders for variables in shape data values in the DataMiner Help.

Thanks Jeroen,

But for me it’s not clear if it should work for the Execute command as it’s not specifiy in the help. So I wonder if Var or even Property are supported or not.

Script:ScriptName|DummyName=ElementName or DmaID/ElementID;…|ParameterName1=SingleValue;ParameterName2=#ValueFile;…| MemoryName=MemoryFileName;…|Tooltip|Options

Jeroen Geldhof [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 16th December 2020

The property placeholder definitely works.
Pretty sure the var placeholder will also work therefore.

Toon Casteele [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 17th December 2020

There is no resource available on dojo this far that specifies all the possible dynamic shape data fields. Note though that once it’s dynamic, all placeholders should be supported, as long as they make sense for your shape context.

I’m looking into adding a resource but since this can change quite often I’m trying to figure out the minimum effort way for me to keep it up to date. I’ll come back and update this question for future reference.

All placeholders that make sense will work in execute shape data.
