Re: [QF-Test] Passing Variables between distributed instances of QFTest

[Gregor Schmid <Gregor.Schmid@?.de>]

Hello Ron,

it is not possible to get bindings at _any_ level, either in the
Daemon or during normal playback, but you have access to the global
variables and to variable groups in the form of Properties.

Please see the DaemonRunContext methods

public String getGlobal(String name)
public Properties getGlobals()
public String getProperty(String group, String name)
public Properties getProperties(String group)

in manual section 40.2.4:

http://www.qfs.de/qftest/manual/en/tech_daemon_api.html#sec_N15744

If that is not sufficient for what you intend to do, please get back
to our support with more details and we'll try to help.

Best regards,
    Greg
