Process Flow variable

A variable is declared when the action is executed while running the process flow. Variable is generally used to set the value of any field of an activity used in a process flow, during the execution of the process flow. For example, if you want to specify an algorithm/cipher for file encryption in a Process Flow, you can define a Process Flow variable, encryptionAlgorithm, and set its value to any of the following algorithms/ciphers that you want to use.

  • IDEA
  • TRIPLE_DES
  • CAST5
  • BLOWFISH
  • DES
  • AES_128
  • AES_192
  • AES_256
  • TWOFISH
  • CAMELLIA_128
  • CAMELLIA_192
  • CAMELLIA_256 You can create and use a Process Flow Variable throughout the execution of a process flow.

Steps to create a Process Flow variable
