Working with Global Variables at Design Time

Global variables provide an easy way to set defaults for use throughout your project. The variable substitution mechanism can override global variables predefined in the project repository in a restricted manner at both design time and run time.

A number of global variables are predefined in TIBCO Designer and in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database.

For the variables predefined in TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for Database, see Predefined Global Variables.
For the variables predefined in TIBCO Designer, see "Predefined Global Variables" in TIBCO Designer User’s Guide.

This section gives an overview of how to specify and use global variables at design time:

Specifying Global Variables
Using Global Variables
Precedence of Global Variables

See Working with Global Variables at Deployment for details of changing and using global variables at run time.
