Setting Up Automatic Variables

PREVIOUS

To define a variable that can be accessed everywhere in business rule artifacts, you can set up automatic variables. Automatic variables are bound to the instance of the class on which it is defined.

To generate an automatic variable for a business class:

  1. In the Outline view, click the class for which you want to generate an automatic variable.
  2. In the Class Verbalization section of the BOM Editor, select the Generate automatic variable box.
  3. Save the BOM.
    4. An instance of the class is now available as an automatic variable from business rule artifacts.
