Example:
RuleVars=(profileName="Bill
The RuleVars entry can be empty, indicating that no RuleVars name or value pairs are defined for the given Dispatch Rule.
DataFileTemplate
The template from which the data file preprocessing step(s) are defined.
These steps specify the writing to disk of zero or more files containing the contents of one or more splitfile index fields. This is required to support external programs like some batch
The template consists of a set of rules internally delimited by the “” character and interstitially delimited by the “;” character of the form:
FieldNameDestinationFilePathdeleteOnExit;...
where the fieldName is the name of a field in the splitfile index (i.e., “body” or “mailtext”), the path resolves to the full path of a destination file. The boolean deleteOnExit indicates whether the destination file is deleted by VIPOD upon successful processing of the subtask. An example:
DataFileTemplate=(body c:\xvtp\bin\bodytemp.txt 1)
results in the contents of the body field of the splitfile index record being written to the file c:\xvtp\bin\bodytemp.txt, which would then be deleted after the execution of the rule's command. This example:
DataFileTemplate=(body c:\xvtp\bin\$(destFilename) 0)
where destFilename is a field of the splitfile index record having the value “jones.txt,” results in the contents of the body field of the splitfile index record being written to the file c:\xvtp\bin\jones.txt. The file is not deleted after the execution of the rule's command.
A DataFile Template can be empty, indicating that no file creation is to take place.
