# Variables for Build Model job entry

These variables are generated when the model is created. You can only see these specific variables for the Build Model job entry if you press CTRL Space after the first run.

You can use these variables to know more about the model you created. For example, if you have scheduled a job to run at regular intervals, you can include these variables in the Mail job entry to alert you to any issues during the run.

| Variable                                                | Variable Type           | Definition                                                                                                                                                                |

| **JobEntryBuildModel.DatabaseConnection.\<Model Name>** | String                  | Returns the name of the database connection used by the transformation on the source. This connection information is specified in the Build Model job entry.              |
| **JobEntryBuildModel.XMI.\<Model Name>**                | String                  | Returns all the contents of the XML file published on the Pentaho Server (It may or may not contain the OLAP components.)                                                 |
| **JobEntryBuildModel.XMI.DSW.\<Model Name>**            | Boolean (True or False) | Indicates if the XMI should be delivered as a Data Source Wizard data source. Typically, when this is 'true', we only generate the DSW data source and no other contents. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/10.2-data-integration/advanced-topics-pentaho-data-integration-overview/work-with-the-streamlined-data-refinery/use-the-streamlined-data-refinery/building-blocks-for-the-sdr/use-the-build-model-job-entry-for-sdr/variables-for-build-model-job-entry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
