Global Variable
Description
A global variable can be accessed and used by all projects under the same solution. It enables data sharing across different projects for consistent data management and transfer.
Workflow
The process of configuring this Step is as follows:
-
Confirm that variables have been created. If not, open the Global Variable Management window to create one.
-
Select the variable name.
-
Select the operation to perform on the global variable: Save or Retrieve.
-
Configure the ports to form a data flow.
Input and Output Description
The Step’s input and output ports depend on the selected operation type:
-
When Save is selected, the Step displays the Data to Save input port. The output of other Steps can be connected to this port to save data to variables.
-
When Retrieve is selected, the Step displays the Retrieved Data output port. The data output by this port can be connected to the input ports of other Steps to retrieve data from variables.
