¶ Description
Local Global parameters from an INI file.
¶ Parameters
¶ Standard tab
Parameters:
- Operation
- Source of global parameters (from most to less significant)
- Filename (command line parameters)
- On file missing
¶ Advanced tab
Parameters:
- Always run this action before any other action, whatever its position in pipeline
- Print global parameters values inside log
- Trim content of global parameters
¶ About
The GetParametersFromFile action reads global parameters from one or more external configuration files and injects them into the pipeline's global context. This is especially useful for managing environment-specific settings or user-defined constants securely and flexibly.
This action supports both regular and transient parameters, including encrypted ones. You can load multiple config files with a defined order of precedence and configure fallback behavior when files are missing.
No table input is required. The action solely reads parameters from file(s).
¶ File Syntax
Each file must follow this syntax:
- Parameters file is a text file with one definition per line.
- Regular parameter: name=value
- Transient parameter: *name=value
- Encrypted transient parameter: name*=value
¶ Advanced Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Always run before any other action | ✅ | Ensures the parameters are loaded regardless of pipeline order |
| Print global parameter values inside log | ✅ | Useful for debugging (avoid enabling in production for sensitive values) |
| Trim content of global parameters | ✅ | Removes leading/trailing whitespace from values |
¶ Output
- The global memory will contain all loaded parameters.
- Optionally, the parameters can be forwarded through the output pin if the alternate mode is selected.
