I have the following setup:
A global variable api_address defined as http://apiproduction.mydomain.com.
A collection variable route_address defined as users/profiles for each collection.
Right now my query look like: {{api_address}}/{{route_address}}/004ba492-d021-40fe-ba23-f1d366036af4 if i want to get the resource.
So my question is... Could you include in a collection variable a global one?
Example: {{route_address}} could be defined as {{api_address}}/users/profiles.
Yes you can do this! But you have to do it with pre-request scripts.
Edit your selection and go to the pre-request script tab.
Add something like the following:
let api_address = pm.globals.get("api_address");
pm.variables.set("route_address", `${api_address}/users/profile`);
That should give you your "route_address" that you are looking to variablize.
You can probably to the pm.globals.get inline on your set, but I'm old school and think it's cleaner and easier to read if you throw it into a local variable first.

Whenever I am adding this documentation to Postman, it changes my global variable /{{tenantName}} to an object like /:tenantName.
Does anybody have solution for it?
I'm looking for a way to make environment variables in Postman, that contain other variables. For example: {Server}=localhost;{Port}=9200;{ServerUrl}={Server}:{Port}.
Like in Make...
This way it doesn't seem to work with Postman.
EDIT:
My attempt:
You could do it but I wouldn't recommend it, just seem like you're missing the benefit creating a set of variables and then changing the values of these by selecting a different environment file.
Add this string {{ElasticsearchProtocol}}://{{ElasticsearchServer}}:{{ElasticsearchPort}} as the ElasiticsearchUrl variable, on the environment file.
Or you could add this to the Pre-Request Script:
let ElasticsearchProtocol = pm.environment.get('ElasticsearchProtocol')
let ElasticsearchServer = pm.environment.get('ElasticsearchServer')
let ElasticsearchPort = pm.environment.get('ElasticsearchPort')
pm.environment.set("ElasticsearchUrl", `${ElasticsearchProtocol}://${ElasticsearchServer}:${ElasticsearchPort}`)
How to pass multiple variables as Header Request in the postman?
You can do something like this as follows-
Create environment variables in your postman. If you dont know how
to create environment variables the use this link.
Use the variables in your Header like this-
Benefit of the environment variables is you can use multiple variables and its values and it optimze your work efforts.
Hope this helps.
Postman's documentation leaves a lot to be desired. In their Variables page they say:
The following scopes are available to you:
Global
Environment
Local
Data
There's information about the Global and Environment scopes, and I believe the "Data" scope is the data from a collection run. But what are the "local" variables?
Because I'd love to have a variable that is calculated on the fly, used for the request, and then discarded. Both global and environment variables are persistent.
According to the Postman Quick Reference Guide local variables are only available within the request (or collection run) that has set them. So they are used for the request or collection run and then discarded.
When to use:
passing data from the pre-request script to the request or tests or between requests.
The behavior is a bit different in Postman vs Collection Runner / Newman, so make sure you understand how they work before using!
Setting
pm.variables.set('myVariable', MY_VALUE);
Getting
pm.variables.get('myVariable', MY_VALUE);
Removing
Local variables are automatically removed once the tests have been executed / collection run finished.
Local variables are the one you use in your Tests part.
You may even use the 'let' declaration as it is coded in javascript ...
ie:
let jsonData;
jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
or use var for declaration.
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
Though, you can erase globals on the fly using
pm.environment/global.unset(<variable>)

I want to create my own variable and want to set my default value which should work like a built in variable in Informatica. I want to use created variable in my all workflow.
Is it possible any way ?
Thanks
You can use the same parameter file across all of your mappings (there is syntax to separate out bits which are for specific sections and those which are universal by way of the scope) see following link https://network.informatica.com/thread/27560
