SET

Command Properties
Example 1:
Map
Example 2:

Assigns a value to a Data Source and / or any number of values to parameters.

Command Properties

From	Value to assign
To	Name of the Output Data Source.
Script	Value to be assigned if From is empty. Can be used for very long values (e.g. texts, templates, html, Xml etc.)

Example 1:

Action Map - From	To	Command
		SET
http://localhost:8040/Perfion/Report.ashx	$ReportAPI

Above example assigns a url to a Data Source named 'ReportAPI'.

Map

From	Value to assign … or … A lookup-reference to a value to be found somewhere else e.g.@RemoteConnectionName=My Con This will get the value of the Connection-string with the name "My Con" stored in the Perfion Remote Connections table.
To	Name of the variable to assign the value to … or … Name of a system parameter (reserved names)
Script	Value to be assigned if From is empty. Can be used for very long values (e.g. texts, templates, html, Xml etc.).

Example 2:

Action Map - From	To	Command	Script
		SET
The Value in From	$String
149.5	$Number
	$LongText		This is a very long string of text on multiple lines that exceeds 255 chars
@RemoteConnectionName=EmailSmtpServer	SMTP

Above example shows how a short string value "The Value in From" is assigned to a global variable that we have chosen to name $String. It also shows how to assign a number to a variable. Numbers are always represented with a '.' as decimal separator. If a value cannot be recognized as a number it will be treated as a string. Furthermore, the example shows how the Script-field can be used to assign a long text-value, and how values can be looked up, and assigned to either a variable or a system parameter such as e.g. SMTP.
