Set Variables

Description

Set Variables defines one or more variables at the root, parent, current process level, or JVM level. Use this process entry when you need to pass values between process entries or child processes — for example, setting a file path variable before a workflow runs, storing a status flag for conditional branching, or initializing configuration values at the start of a process.
