In the SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII) Workbench, you can define the following properties for a transaction:
Global
Transaction
Local
Sequence
Action
Each property has a data type, which is indicated by a different icon in the Link Editor.

All properties have default values. You can change transaction and action properties at runtime using the Link Editor.
Note
Transaction and local properties can include alphanumeric characters only; symbols are not allowed.
You can define global property values and use them across all projects and transactions. You can link them to transactions or subordinate action properties. For example, to have all transactions use the same e-mail server and to centrally manage the IP address, you can define a MailServerConnectionAlias property that references the e-mail connection alias name.
Global properties are read-only.
To define global properties when you are working with a transaction on the SAP MII Workbench screen, choose
Transaction properties are variables that can be inputs or outputs to a transaction. Transaction properties are user-defined for each transaction.
To define transaction properties, on the SAP MII Workbench screen, choose
Local properties are variables that are private to the transaction. They act as storage devices for the sequences in a transaction. Local properties can be seen by other sequences in the transaction, but they cannot be seen outside of the transaction. For example, a scratch variable needed to perform multistep calculations is a local property. Local properties are user-defined for each transaction.
To define local properties when you are working with a transaction on the SAP MII Workbench screen, choose
To enter a name and description for a sequence in your transaction, on the SAP MII Workbench screen, choose
Action properties are defined by the action and cannot be user-defined. To access a selected action's properties, choose
