tesmcmd is a binary that sits in your TIDAL master installation bin directory. It takes options, one of which is varset which let's you set variable values.
So you can run a system level script ( a unix example is given below) which can set values for group variables.
Looking at your example you need to find a way to define OracleUserVariable.1
Where does the value for this variable come from?
Sample variable set script:
GROUP_FILE_VAR=`echo $2 | sed -e 's/\.xml\.pgp/\.xml/'`
tesmcmd varset -i $1 -n GROUP_FILE_XML -v $GROUP_FILE_VAR
XSD_FILE_VAR=`echo $2 | sed -e 's/\.xml\.pgp/\.xsd/'`
tesmcmd varset -i $1 -n GROUP_FILE_XSD -v $XSD_FILE_VAR
And we call the job using
setvar.sh <JobID..p> <Group.REQUEST_FILE>
which are overrides from a file event.
