Global Variable Reference

Global Variable Reference
Field Description
Name The variable name.

Different groups can have the same-named variable, because the group name is included when you use the global variable.

Value The variable value. Varies according to type.
Type Data type of the global variable. The values are:
  • String
  • Integer
  • Boolean
  • Long
  • Password

The type must match the type of the field where the global variable is used, or errors result.

Deployment Settable
For deployment with TIBCO BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management
 You can only override global variables if both the Deployment Settable and Service Settable check boxes are selected.
For deployment with TIBCO Administrator
 If selected, the variable is visible and settable when deploying using TIBCO Administrator. The values set at that time are saved in the project that TIBCO Administrator creates from the provided EAR file.

If the check box is not selected, the variable is not visible in TIBCO Administrator. It is selected by default.

Service Settable
For deployment with TIBCO BusinessEvents Monitoring and Management
 You can only override global variables if both the Deployment settable and Service Settable check boxes are selected.
For deployment with TIBCO Administrator
 If both Deployment Settable and Service Settable are checked, the value of the global variable can be set differently for each deployable instance.
Note: Even if Service Settable is selected, the variable is included in the EAR only when the Include all service level global variables option is selected when building the enterprise archive file.

In all deployment scenarios, values set at the service instance level are passed to the engine at runtime in the format tibco.clientVar.VariableName=value.

Not checked by default.

Description A helpful description, as needed.
Constraint Optional. For String and Integer types, using this you can provide a range of allowed values. The constraint field for Strings is an enumeration, for example, one, two, three. The constraint field for Integers is for a range, for example, 1-100.
Note: Constraints for Integers are currently not implemented in TIBCO Administrator.
Last Modified Non-editable field that records the date and time this variable was last modified.
