Internal Variables

Internal variables are predefined by Loftware Automation. Their values are assigned automatically and are available in read-only mode. The icon with lock symbol in front of the variable name distinguishes internal variables from user-defined variables. You can use internal variables in your actions in the same way as you would use the user-defined variables. The trigger related internal variables work as internal variables for each trigger.

Internal variable	Available in trigger	Description
ActionLastErrorDesc	All	Provides the description of the last occurred error. Use this value as feedback to host system to identify the fault cause.
ActionLastErrorID	All	Provides the last error ID. This is integer value. When value is 0, there was no error. You can use this value in conditions, evaluating if there was some error or not.
BytesOfReceivedData	TCP/IP	Provides the number of bytes received by the trigger.
ComputerName	All	Provides the name of the computer where the configuration runs.
ConfigurationFileName	All	Provides the path and file name of the current configuration (.MISX file).
ConfigurationFilePath	All	Provides the path of the current configuration file. Also see description for ConfigurationFileName.
DataFileName	All	Provides the path and file name of the working copy of received data. Each time the trigger accepts the data, it makes a backup copy of it to the unique file name identified by this variable.
Database	Database	Provides the database type as configured in the trigger.
Date	All	Provides the current date in the format as specified by system locale, such as 26.2.2018.
DateDay	All	Provides the current number of the day in a month, such as 26.
DateMonth	All	Provides the current number of the month in the year, such as 2.
DateYear	All	Provides the current number of the year, such as 2018.
DefaultPrinterName	All	Provides the name of printer driver, which is defined as default.
DriverType	Database	Provides the name of the driver used to connect to the selected database.
Hostname	TCP/IP	Provides the host name of device/computer connecting to the trigger.
HttpMethodName	HTTP	Provides the method name the user has provided in the HTTP request, such as GET or POST.
HttpPath	HTTP	Provides the path defined in the HTTP trigger.
HttpQuery	HTTP	Provides the contents of the query string as received by the HTTP trigger.
NumberOfRowsReturned	Database	Provides the number of rows that the trigger gets from a database.
LocalIP	TCP/IP	Provides the local IP address at which the trigger responds to. This is useful if you have a multi-homing machine with several network interface cards (NIC), and want to determine to which IP address the client connected to. This is useful for printer replacement scenarios.
PathDataFileName	All	Provides the path in the DataFileName variable, without the file name. Also see description for DataFileName.
PathTriggerFileName	File	Provides the path in the TriggerFileName variable, without the file name. Also see description for TriggerFileName.
Port	TCP/IP, HTTP, Web Service	Provides the port number as defined in the trigger.
RemoteHttpIp	HTTP	Provides the host name of device/computer connecting to the trigger.
RemoteIp	Web Service	Provides the host name of device/computer connecting to the trigger.
ShortConfigurationFileName	All	Provides the file name of the configuration file, without a path, Also see description for ConfigurationFileName.
ShortDataFileName	All	Provides the file name to the DataFileName variable, without the path. Also see description for DataFileName.
ShortTriggerFileName	File	Provides the file name to the TriggerFileName variable, without the path. Also see description for TriggerFileName.
SystemUserName	All	Provides the Windows name of the logged-in user.
TableName	Database	Provides the name of the table as used in the trigger.
Time	All	Provides the current time in the format as specified by system locale, such as 15:18.
TimeHour	All	Provides the current hour value, such as 15.
TimeMinute	All	Provides the current minute value, such as 18.
TimeSecond	All	Provides the current second value, such as 25.
TriggerFileName	File	Provides the file name that triggered actions. This is useful when you monitor a set of files in the folder, so you can identify which file exactly triggered actions.
TriggerName	All	Provides the name of the trigger as defined by the user.
Username	All	Provides the Loftware Automation user name of the currently logged in user. The variable has contents only if the user login is enabled.
