Parameter Overrides
As needed, you can specify overrides to parameters inherited from the tasks in a plan. Specified values are applied only when the plan run is executed based on this trigger.
Note
In a trigger, displayed parameter values may be inherited from the plan that is being triggered. To ensure that the proper value is used, you should set a specific value for the override in the trigger. This is a known issue.
To apply a parameter override:
Locate the parameter to override.
Verify that the parameter is sourced from the correct object.
Click Override.
Enter the value to apply.
Repeat as needed for other parameter overrides.
Click Save.
For more information, see Overview of Parameterization.
Enable or Disable Trigger
After a trigger has been saved, you can enable or disable it when the trigger node in the plan is selected.
