Re: Activity scope variables

Hello Gianfranco,

You can change the value of some variable during the process execution if it is appropriate in your case. I think that you cannot define variables for activity or set different value for a process-level variable for each activity in process definition design time.

However, it seems that you need to send some parameters to a tool via JavaToolAgent. In this case you can do something else: you are not forced to use only WRD as actual parameters - supply for the corresponding parameter a hardcoded value, instead of WRD:
 - Define your tool, lets say with the following parameters: param1, param2, myVariableConstant;
 - Define appropriate workflow application to call this tool;
 - At each call to the corresponding workflow application supply someting like:
  = activity1: WRD1, WRD2, "I want it in this way";
  = activity1: WRD3, WRD4, "I want it in that way";
  = activity1: WRD5, WRD6, "I want it in some other way";

Unfortunately, this solution has some limitations:
 - you cannot use the corresponding paramer in "out" mode;
 - you can supply only simple values - string, integer, date, ... There is no way to supply some user-defined Java objects.

Regards,
Monique
