get job id of its own

[xren]

Hi,

How can I get the job id of a job's own?

Thanks,

It's in system variable $JOB_ID i.e.

Code: Select all

var jobId = system.variables.$JOB_ID.value;

Does system.variables.$JOB_ID have one instance with value for each job?
so when I call this from my job I will get the right one for my job?

I mean what is the scope of this variable?

[xren]

Can I assume that all system variables e.g. _COMPLETE, NEXT_STEP, etc. are all job and node specific (per instance per job, node)?

I think mostly they are pretty obvious and do what you would expect - see http://www.ebasetech.com/ebase/doc/Work ... c417392058 for more details
