In Scheer PAS Designer you have two options to use data in your execution diagram:

  • Local data are only available for use within the current execution.
  • Persisted data are usable in all executions of the BPMN model.

On this page we explain how to persist data in the Designer and how to use the persisted data in your execution model.

How to Persist Data

If you want to persist the data of a variable, you need to perform the following steps:

Drag a type from your library and drop it in section Persisted on the execution pane.

Tip

For further information about variables on the execution pane see page Adding Variables.

By default a persisted variable gets assigned the name of its type.

Tip

You can change the name of persisted variables to one of your own choice by double-clicking the name. A list shows the names already in use.

Draw an object flow to assign a value to the persisted variable.

Persisted Variable with Default Value

The default value can be changed for every deployed service because it is a setting on the BRIDGEBridge.

Tip

See page xUML Service Settings in the BRIDGE Bridge User Guide to know more about xUML service settings in general and how you can change them.

Using Persisted Data

You can access all available persisted variables via section Persisted.

Click on the  icon to display the list of available persisted variables.

You can use the search to narrow down the content of the list.

Select the variable you need to use.

Now you can connect the persisted variable with the corresponding pin of the operation call.

This applies to input as well as to output pins.

Tip

Detailed information about the handling of pins can be found on page Adding Operation Calls.
