Creating Model Variables

You create model variables to represent environment-specific values that you intend to define at the time of deployment.

To create model variables:

1. From the Studio menu, select Show Design Perspective.

2. Click the Studio Projects tab.

   The Studio Projects view appears.

3. Double-click any Project entity.

   The project opens in the Project editor.

4. Click the Model Variables tab.

5. Click Add.

   Design Studio adds a new variable, VAR_1, to the Name column.

6. Select the table row that contains VAR_1.

7. In the Name field (below the table), replace VAR_1 with a new name.

   For example, you might change the default variable name to automationUser if you were defining the credentials with which your automated tasks run.

8. (Optional) In the Value field, enter a default value for the variable.

   You can provide a default value for the variable if, for example, you have multiple environments and many share the same variable value.

9. (Optional) Select Sensitive to secure the default value in the user interface and on disk.

   This option enables you to define default values with a layer of security. If you deselect the Sensitive option, Design Studio clears the Value field to protect the existing value. See "Project Editor Model Variables Tab" for more information about this field.

10. (Optional) Click Add to create additional variables.

11. (Optional) Select a variable and click Remove to delete a variable.

    Note:

    Oracle recommends that you do not remove any of the default variables.

12. Click Save.
