Global Variable Groups
Windchill ESI TIBCO global variables are grouped together in the following main categories:
• Process Engine global variables
• Adapter Instance global variables
 |
If you modify any global variables you must redeploy the application for any changes to take effect. The description for any global variable can be viewed as a tool-tip from the TIBCO Administrator GUI, by placing the mouse pointer over the respective global variable.
|
Process Engine Global Variable Groups
The following global variable groups contain variables that are used in the business logic.
|
Global Variable Group
|
Description
|
|---|---|
|
ESIClassName
|
This group contains the global variables that represent the class names of various objects like parts, BOMs, CNs, and process plans. If class names are changed in Windchill then these values also need to be changed accordingly.
These variables are used to compare and identify a type of object. Based on the identified type, a message is written to the Process Archive log.
|
|
ESIConstants
|
This group contains global variables for constant values; For example actions like Create, Change, Unchange, Delete and for boolean values like true, false.
|
|
ESIFlags
|
This group contains global variables that define actions based on the boolean value they are set to.
|
|
ESIJMS

ESIPaddingTruncate
|
This group contains global variables used to configure lengths for padding and truncation. Padding is automatic when certain object numbers are numeric. Truncation is based on the values set for the global variables in the ESIFlags group. For example; truncateNameDescription_Enable (SAP only).

|
ESIOthers
|
This group contains various other independent global variables used in the business logic.
