Global Signal Definitions

Global Signal projects define the signals that you can send and receive across multiple processes and the data payload that they carry. You define a Global Signal Definition project to define global signals, which can be referenced from multiple projects.

You can define more than one Global Signal Definition project if desired.

Procedure
1. Go to File > New > Global Signal Definition Project. Enter the project name and select the BPM destination environment. Click Next.
2. Accept the default settings (including the selection of Create initial Global Signal Definition and click Finish.
   The Global Signal Definition project is created, with an initial Global Signal. You can then define the payload data to be associated with the global signal. See Creating Payload Data for Global Signals.
   On the Properties tab for the Global Signal, define the correlation timeout setting. The default setting is Correlate Immediately. You can change this to Timeout Signal After: n seconds.
   Note: It is possible to deploy a process with global signal events without deploying the Global Signal Definition project. However, if you do this, then the process halts with an error at runtime. You should deploy the Global Signal Definition Project before you deploy processes which contain global signal events.
