Business Process Variables (Magic xpi 4.5)
Business process variables are defined in the scope of a business process. The business process variable's definition is available to all the flows in the business process. Business process variables are defined once for all the flows in the business process. Changes made to a business process variable in any flow affect all other flows in the same business process.
Since business process variables are shared by all servers belonging to the same running project, these values are stored in the Space and not in each processes' memory.
