Example: Specifying the Scratchpad variable as the gating criteria

In this example, perflow.scratchpad is specified as the Gating Criteria in the subroutine settings. In another example, you can see the per-request policy store the client IP address in the predefined Scratchpad variable. The Scratchpad variable (available through the Variable Assign agent), equates to the perflow.scratchpad variable that is available in subroutine settings.
