Job Shared Variable

Shared Configuration

A Job Shared Variable shared configuration resource allows you to store data for use by each process instance. A copy of the variable is created for each new process instance. This resource is useful for passing data to and from sub-processes without creating an input or output schema for the called process.

You can use the Get Shared Variable and Set Shared Variable activities to access the data instead of mapping data to a called processes input or output schemas. New process instances receive a copy of the variable, so data cannot be shared across process instances. Therefore, if a called process has the Spawn configuration field checked, a new process instance is created and the process instance receives a new copy of the job shared variable.
