Job.Hierarchy	Text Indexed	Job.getHierarchyPath()
Job.IsFile	Boolean	Job.isFile()
Job.IsFolder	Boolean	Job.isFolder()
Job.JobState	Text	Job.getJobState()
Job.Name	Text	Job.getName()

Job.NestedName Indent=" "	Text Indexed	A list of indented names (including extension) for all files and folders in the job; by default each level indents with 4 spaces; on a particular level names are sorted alphabetically; see example below The Indent argument specifies the string added for each indentation level (default value is 4 spaces) Script that recursively iterates over job contents

Nested name example:

The variable [Job.NestedName:Prefix="-> ",Indent=". "] might be replaced by the following lines:

-> My job folder 
-> . First.pdf 
-> . Second.pdf 
-> . Subfolder 
-> . . Readme.txt 
-> . Third.pdf

The following variables access a job's occurrence trail to provide information on the job's origin and on why the job was sent to the problem jobs folder. Each of the variables access the most recent occurrence of a particular type, as listed in the table.

Variable name	Data type	Most recent occurrence of type	Scripting API equivalent
Job.FailElement	Text	Failed	Occurrence.getElement()
Job.FailFlow	Text	Failed	Occurrence.getFlow()
Job.FailMessage	Text	Failed	Occurrence.getLocalizedMessage()
Job.FailModule	Text	Failed	Occurrence.getModule()
Job.FailTime	Date	Failed	Occurrence.getTimeStamp()
Job.Origin	Text	Produced	Occurrence.getOrigin()

Job.Origin

Use this variable to get the original location of the job before it was injected or submitted into the flow:

For a Submit point, this is the original file path of the job submitted to Switch via legacy version of SwitchClient or the path to backing folder of the Submit point if the job has been submitted via the Switch Web Portal.
For an FTP receive element, this is the path to the file on FTP server that was used to download the file.
For a Mail receive element, this is the ‘From’ address of the email.
For a Script element, this is the path that was passed into "createNewJob". Note that the "createNewJob" function can be called with or without a path parameter, so it's up to the script writer to provide the Job.Origin value or to leave it empty.

Note: For other elements, this variable is empty!
