Variables store the data that are used by a state machine.
To create an additional variable, proceed as follows:
- In the tray, click the plus icon (
) to the right of Variables.
- In the Add Variable wizard, browse to the appropriate data type
or business object or click New to create one.
- When you are done, the newly created variable will appear in the
tray. You can change the variable's name by clicking it and typing
a new one.
You have successfully created a variable.
Note: - If you want to rename the variable later, you will have to update its
occurrences in the Java and visual snippets with the new name.
- Variable names cannot contain the strings "_Input_" or "_Output_" or end
with the string "TimerValue". In addition, the following names are reserved:
- ActState
- DisplayState
- NxtState
- NxtTrans
- SkipEntry
- InstanceInitialize
- GuardValue
- TransitionFailure
- RuntimeFailureData
- ActTrans
- NxtDisplayState
