QAnywhere rule variables can be used in the condition part of rules. You can use the following as rule variables:

• Message properties
• Client message store properties
• Variables defined by the rule engine

Using properties as rule variables

Message properties and message store properties can be used as transmission rule variables. In both cases you can use pre-defined properties or you can create custom properties. If you have a message property and a message store property with the same name, the message property is used. To override this precedence, you can explicitly reference the property as follows:

For example, the following automatic transmission rule selects all messages with the custom message property urgent set to yes:

automatic = ias_Message.urgent = 'yes'

The following automatic transmission rule selects messages when the custom message store property transmitNow is set to yes:

automatic = ias_Store.transmitNow = 'yes'
