Data Integration with Sybase Avaki Studio 63
Using global parameters
Using global parameters
Some view models obtain all necessary input from database operations, data services,
and other input sources. However, you will often want to provide parameters to your
model that affect the way it functions. For example, a model that processes sales fig-
ures might require a parameter specifying the sales region you’re interested in.
Parameters to the view model are called global parameters because they are available
to all of the operators and other elements within the model. This section shows how to
display, add, modify, and delete global parameters.
Displaying global parameters
To see and manipulate your model’s global parameters, use the View Model Parame-
ters tab, which appears in the bottom pane in Studio. If it is not currently visible, you
can access it using the Window > Show View > View Model Parameters command.
