pass job's metadata flow to flow

Hi,

We want to structure our flows in small flows, but we want to know if it is possible pass job's metadatas from one flow (example job.emailaddress or in submit point metadafields) to other flow.

We know that we can pass the metadatas with application element, but flows?

Thanks for your help

Best regards

Miguel

Use the Pack Job and Unpack Job elements to pass job metadata between flows.

Pack/Unpack is a possibility but not necessary when you stay within the same environment. When you set the output folder to a specific path and you set Strip unique ID to No, then another flow can pick up the file from the location where it was saved and it will retain the metadata.

thank very much. I have tested two options and two options have gone on.
