Configure Target Data Services Rule Global Variables

For each of the Data Services Jobs, the global variables needed to pass parameters into Data Services are automatically populated. The global variables are passed to the Data Services Job at runtime and the Job is executed based on parameters specified in the global variables.

The global variables (date formats, time formats, etc.) are populated from the object level Target where they were specified. The global variables can be updated on the Target Data Services Rules page’s Vertical View, if needed. Do not change the Wave, Process Area, object or Target global variables because they are hardcoded values that tie specifically to the GUIDs of those elements.

NOTE: Do not edit the values for the Wave, Process Area, Object or Target variables.
