2.
Click Global Variable in the Variables group.
The new variable will appear as GlobalVar or GlobalVarX (the name is automatically
incremented).
To set the value of a global variable from the Configuration Components pane:
1.
Double-click on the global variable in the Configuration Components pane. (Right-
clicking then clicking Properties also works.)
2. Enter the new value for your global variable.
3.
Click OK to save the new value.
Deleting a variable
l
Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components pane and click Delete.
Note
Deleting a variable does not delete any reference to it. In both the case where a script
refers to a variable and it is renamed, and the case of deleting a variable, any task or
script that refers to it will cease to function and will generate an error.
Renaming a variable
l Right-click on the variable name in the Configuration Components pane.
l
Click Rename.
l
Type in the new name of the variable, then press Enter on your keyboard.
Note
While renaming a variable will correctly rename all references to it in task properties or
wherever else it is used in a task, it will not change the references in any script within a
Run Script task.
Setting a variable value within a process
You can set the value of a variable within your process in two ways:
