A configurable parameter is a parameter with a value that you configure in the integration process component in the Integration Directory. This means you do not need to change the process definition if you want to alter the value later. You can create multiple configurations for one process and define different values for a configurable parameter in each one.
Configurable Parameters in Conditions
You can use configurable parameters in conditions, for example, as shown in the following example:
You want to control processing in the process based on order volumes:
In the process editor, define the configurable parameters ordervolume_1, ordervolume_2, and ordervolume_3 and query them in the conditions of a switch. You define the values of the parameters in the Integration Directory.
Different Configurations of a Process
To define different configurations, define different integration process components in the Integration Directory. For example, if you define the purchase volume as a configurable parameter, you can define a different receiver depending on the purchase volume in the configuration. The system creates a separate Workflow at runtime for each configuration.
You define configurable parameters in the same way as container elements. You also have the option of defining a default value for configurable parameters.

Provided you do not configure a different value, the default value is automatically used in the Integration Directory when configuring the corresponding process service.
Once you have activated the change list, you can configure the parameter in the relevant integration process component in the Integration Directory.
