Initial Value

The Initial Value tab allows you to specify an initial value for the variable. You can choose one of the following:

  • None — specifies that no initial value is set for the shared variable. You must use the Set Shared Variable activity to set a value before you can read the value of the variable with the Get Shared Variable activity.

  • Select Value — causes the Select Value field to appear. This field allows you to choose a stored XML Instance resource containing data that matches the schema specified on the Schema tab.

  • Build Value — causes the Build Value field to appear. The Edit button brings up a smaller version of the XML Instance configuration. In this dialog you can construct an XML document that contains the initial value of the shared variable.

For more information on creating XML Instance resources, see TIBCO Designer™ Palette Reference.
