Global Variable .substvar Process Property

Module Property

Application Property

.substvar Supported As TIBCO BusinessWorks Container Edition Runtime supports multiple applications, it is recommended that Global Variable is not used to describe application configurable properties.
Instead, there are following three levels of properties:
  • Process Properties
  • Module Properties
  • Application Properties
These three levels of properties are hierarchical: Application Properties are in the outer most scope, followed by Module Properties, followed by Process Properties.

You can define and source value from its parent scope. For example:

  1. Process Property values can be defined by Literal Values or source its value from its parent scope Module Property.
  2. By the same token, Module Property value can be defined by Literal Values or source from its parent scope Application Property.
