Set Shared Variable

Activity

The Set Shared Variable activity allows you to change the value of a shared variable. If you are using this activity to set the value of a Shared Variable resource, you may want to use a critical section group to ensure that no other process instances are altering the value of the shared variable at the same time.

See TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Process Design for more information about shared variables and critical section groups.
