Environment Variables

[Ram_NiwasVerma1]

Hello,   How can I prevent Environment variable to be access by only a particular process ? Say for I have 5 processes, I want few environment variables to be accessed by Process1 only and should not be accessed by other processes.   Thanks.

Are you talking about naming convensions for your Environment variables?  Simply put the process name at the start of the Environment Variable name to make it clear that the variable is related and used by that process.  For example - ""Process A Work Load Folder

Hello, At the moment the recommendation is to have good naming conventions for your Environment Variables, so for your scenario I would expect your env var name to start with your process name.  For example: 'Process A - Load Work Folder'.  The lifecycle orientation soltuion (mandatory training) has examples of Environment Variable design and solution. New group permissions features are being brought into v6 soon but I am unsure what additional change protection they are offering to env variables.

At present you can't. There are plans to improve this, but for now it's not possible. If you used a credential to store the value you could limit who has access to it.

Business Object: Utility - Enviroment Action: Get User Name   Then use a ""Choice"" stage to determent what environment variable you want to use.
