Workflow Variables

Workflow elements process data that they receive as input parameters, and set the resulting data as workflow variables or output parameters.

Read-only workflow variables act as global constants for a workflow. Writable variables act as a workflow’s global variables.

You can use variables to transfer data between the elements of a workflow. You can obtain variables in the following ways:

• Define variables when you create a workflow.
• Set the output parameter of a workflow element as a workflow variable.
• Inherit variables from a configuration element.
