Global Variables

Global variables provide an easy way to set defaults for use throughout your project. There are several ways in which they can be used:

•

Predefine a variable during design time, then override the value for individual applications at deployment.

•

Predefine a variable during design time, then override the value for individual services (for example, an adapter service or a process) at deployment. The values you specify are then used at run time.

•

Predefine a variable during design time, then override it from the command line.

For example, you can assign the value tcp://localhost:7222 to the predefined JmsProviderUrl global variable by using TIBCO Designer. You can then use the variable in your adapter to locate the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service daemon. If you want to change the daemon for your adapter, you can specify the JmsProviderUrl variable in TIBCO Administrator to a different value or override it from the command line.
