Configuration

The Configuration tab has the following fields.

Field

Global Var?

Description

Name

No

The name to appear as the label for the resource.

Description

No

Short description of the shared resource.

Multi-Engine

Yes

When checked, this field specifies to use the resource to synchronize process instances across more than one process engine. If you are using this resource to synchronize shared variable access, make sure that the Lock Object and Shared Variable resources have the same setting for this field.

When synchronization is performed across process engines, a database transaction is performed to ensure proper execution order. Therefore, you must configure your process engine to use a database for storage, if you want to synchronize Critical Section groups across process engines. For more information about specifying a database for storing process engine information, see TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ Administration.
