Placeholders for BO Schedule

Dear BO experts,

I am using BO 4.2 and I know that there are several Placeholders to be used in Scheduling:

%SI_STARTTIME%, %SI_OWNER%, etc

Do you know where in the CMC are defined these Placeholders?

Thanksssss

They aren’t defined that way. They simply represent the names of properties of the scheduled instance that can be used as placeholders.

If you query for a scheduled instance using Query Builder, you will see all of the properties associated with it. Any of them (except property bags) can be used as placeholders.

Hi, thanks for your answer.

My final goal is to create “new placeholders”

Is this possible in BO 4.2?

Thankssss

Different placeholders. Those are used for server settings, ex. %DefaultInputFRSDir%.
