Setting Global Variables in MM

Global variables are defined and set in the TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio project.

Global variables can also be set in the CDD file. If they are defined as deployment settable and service settable, they can be set in MM at deploy time as well. You can set values at the machine level (but not at the engine level).

The global variable settings are appended to the CDD file that is deployed to a machine.

Note: Multiple users can open an MM console on their machines and work with global variables. All users see the global variable overrides that have been saved by any user. However, if user A has the global variable editor open while user B saves a change, user A will not see that change, until he or she clicks Refresh (or starts a new console session).

Procedure

  1. Log on to MM Console. See Logging On to MM Console.
  2. In the Cluster Explorer, select the host node and click Deploy.
  3. Enter the login credentials that you configured for Openssh and click Next.
    The global variable names and their default values are displayed.
  4. In the Current Value column, replace the current value with the desired override value.
    Note: If global variables are defined in the TIBCO BusinessEvents project using groups, specify the group path using forward slashes. For example, if a variable JMSuri is located under a group called URIs, specify the variable as tibco.clientVar.URIs/JMSuri.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Click Refresh to ensure that your value was the last entered.
    If another user enters an override just after you do, their value overrides your value.
