System-defined Variables for Tags

You can use the following predefined variables in your job tags:

Variable

Value

B

The job number: an integer value that starts at 1 and is incremented with every new job.

BF_D

Date, in the format set by the Tag: Date Format system setting.

BF_J

Day of the year

BF_T

Time, in the format set by the Tag: Time Format system setting.

BF_W

Day of the week (a numeric value, from 0 to 6)

These variables are standard variables populated by the system every time it creates the environment for a step. For example, a tag format value of BUILD_$B.$BF_T produces tags like the following for successive jobs:

BUILD_9.120529

BUILD_10.120533
