Overview of Variables
There are several types of variables in ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks, each with their own purpose and usage. ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks provides the following types of variables:
-
Global Variables — these variables allow you to specify constants that can be used throughout the project. The constants can be specified and changed while designing and testing your project. You can also specify different values for each deployment of your project.
-
Process Variables — these variables allow you to access various data in your project. For example, there are predefined process variables containing the process ID, project name, and other information. You can also create user-defined process variables for containing process-specific data.
-
Shared Variables — these variables allow you to specify data for use across multiple process instances. Because multiple process instances can access the same variable, you can also synchronize access across processes when setting or retrieving the shared variable.
The following sections describe the types of variables available in your project in greater detail.
