Argument lists In some commands an argument list can be specified. An argument list consists of individual resource names, separated by commas, and enclosed in parenthesis. For example, a list of storage volumes (virtual disks): ("\\Array2\Cats", "\\Array2\Dogs", "\\Array3\Cars") Assignments (variables) The Editing Task window allows you to create assignments (variables) that refer to specific resources or that reference the results of a command. In the following example, a lengthy UNC-formatted name is stored in a variable on line 5. When the job is run, a snapclone is created by the command on line 10, which refers to the variable. Line Task ... 5 $disk = SetVariable ("\\ArrayA2\Pets\Cats\Vdisk66") ... 10 SnapcloneStorageVolume ($disk, "", SAME, "", WAIT) ... In the next example, the results of a command are saved in a variable when the job is run. On line 7, the UNC name of the snapshot is stored in the variable $Rep1. Then on line 13 the variable is referenced to delete the snapshot. Line Task ... 7 $Rep1 = SnapshotHostVolume ("\\source_host\path\source_hostvol1", FULLY_ALLOCATED, SAME) ONERROR PAUSEAT E1: ... // 13 E2: DeleteStorageVolumes ( $Rep1 ) ONERROR PAUSEATE2: ... Usage Assignments are: • Local to each job and cannot be referenced across jobs. • Not case sensitive. Format • The first two characters must be a dollar sign ($) followed by an alpha character. No special characters are allowed after the first character. • Upper and lower case, alpha and numeric are allowed. • Underscores are allowed; spaces are not allowed. Branches Branches and labels are typically used to handle errors and to create jobs that can be looped repeatedly. In line 9 of the following example, the command branches to label E1 on line 30 if there is an error when the command is executed. 186 Jobs
