Add and Manage Global Variables

Procedure

  1. Open the project in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio.
  2. Open Global Variables Editor in one of the following ways:
    • From the toolbar, click the Global Variables Editor button.
    • From the top menus, select Project > Edit Global Variables.

      You see the global variables editor listing the variables available, if any.

  3. Do any of the following. (See Global Variable Reference for a guide to the fields):
    • To add a variable, click Add Variable and complete the fields.
    • To edit a variable, select the variable and update the fields.
    • To add a variable group, click Add Group.
    • To add a variable to a group, first select a group, then click Add Variable.
    • To remove a variable or a group, highlight it and click Remove.
      Note: Groups are used for organizing variables. Variable groups are especially useful if multiple developers share a project using a version control system. When referencing a variable that is in a group, use the complete path, for example %%mygroup/mysubgroup/myvariable%%. (Because the complete path is used, the name of a variable in a group can be the same as the name of a variable in a different group.)

      You must add at least one variable to a group, or the group will not be saved. If you delete all global variables in a global variable group, the group itself is also automatically deleted.

  4. Save the resource. Groups and references to the defaultVars.substvar file appear in the defaultVars project folder.
