Here you can set global variables, at zone level, within Application Workspace. These variables can be used within packages, to simplify the use of common paths or parameters across multiple packages. For more information about inheritance and available system parameters, see Variables.
Two types of variables are available:
- Static - used for fixed values, which can still be overridden by contexts or packages.
- Dynamic - allows you to select a credential or license which will be used as the value of the variable.
For example, with credentials selected as entity type, passwords or usernames are stored encrypted within the Application Workspace System. Application Workspace will ask only once for a password or username and stores this information within the Credential Store for that user. Because of this, the credential variable is reusable within multiple packages.
The Name of the variable, can be used within packages by enclosing its name within ${*name*}.
The Sensitive option lets you decide if the variable should be logged in the log file and displayed on Application Workspace UI.
