Creating Global Configuration Properties

When a global configuration property is created, you can import the global configuration property into a project as a project configuration property.

About this task

You can use global properties to supply the values for fields in endpoints or for default values for destination nodes in maps. Create global configuration properties in Studio using the Edit > Manage Global Configuration Properties option of the Studio toolbar menu. For example, create a global configuration property named dbPassWord of the type Password in Studio, then create a configuration property in your project by importing dbPassWord.

A global configuration property can be of type String or Password.

Procedure

  1. In Studio, click Edit > Manage Global Configuration Properties.
  2. Under the Global Property Lists pane, click New. The New Global Properties dialog displays.
  3. Enter a name for the new global configuration property list and click OK. You can create one or more global configuration properties for each list.
  4. Enter a name for the global configuration property that you want to create.
  5. Select either String or Password from the Type list. If you select Password, the value is masked.
  6. Click Create.
  7. In the Value field, enter the value you want for the property.
  8. Click OK. If you want to add more properties to the list, repeat steps 4 through 8.

What to do next

Import project properties into a global properties list by clicking Import, select the project property you want to make global, and click Add.

To delete a global property from a global property list, select the property and click Delete.
