Workflow Execution Variables

Following variables are available in Workflow Editor (UI), Shell Plugins and script-based plugins.

Variable Name

Description

Variable Name

Description

FD_WORKING_DIR

Working directory for Plugin execution on the Endpoint. This folder contains sub-folders like temp, internal, artifacts etc.

FlexDeploy will use a different Working directory for each workflow execution. Syntax - <Endpoint directory>/<Project Id>/<Workflow Execution Id>

This folder structure is kept for 3 days. Older folders are automatically purged.

FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR

Folder for build artifacts. Build workflows generate artifacts in this folder. Deploy and Test workflows will automatically have access to the same artifacts.

Artifacts are associated with specific Project Version.

Deploy and Test Workflows can NOT create artifacts, they can only consume them. Instead of generating an artifact, use the FD_REPORTS_DIR from deploy and test workflows to bring reports back to FlexDeploy.

FD_TEMP_DIR

Folder for temporary files. FlexDeploy will generate temporary files in this folder.

Custom shell / script (Groovy, WLST) plugins can also generate temporary files here.

FD_REPORTS_DIR

Folder for generated reports. Files saved here can be viewed and downloaded from Project Workflow Execution reports tab.

Usually, you use the FD_REPORTS_DIR from deploy and test workflows to bring reports back to FlexDeploy.

FD_WF_USER

FDBLD_VERSION_SEQUENCE

FDBLD_PROJECT_VERSION_SEQUENCE

Project build sequence number. This sequence is unique for each project.

FDBLD_PACKAGE_VERSION_SEQUENCE

Package build sequence number. This sequence is unique for each project package.

FDDPLY_IS_ROLLBACK

Indicates whether workflow execution is a rollback execution.

FD_PROJECT_CLASSIFICATION

Additional properties are available for projects based on which SCM is configured on them.

Any workflow outputs that were set in the Build will also be available as workflow variables in the following Pre-Deploy and Deploy workflows for that project version. The variables will not show up in the Workflow UI in the variables page, but will be in the project execution, variables screen and can be used like a variable or property in the pre-deploy and deploy workflows. This means that you can assign a build input to a workflow variable in the build and it will be available to the pre-deploy and deploy without creating a file artifact.
