Creating and Using Parameters

When does the use of parameters make sense?

If technical processes are to be equipped for variable environmental conditions, parameters can significantly simplify process modelling.

What are possible use cases?

Parameters can be used to define any keys or value pairs: e.g. technical environment variables, such as paths, or technical parameters, such as limit values for checks. At runtime of the technical process, these parameters are replaced by the previously defined values. This allows technical processes to be modelled in such a way that they can be executed in different environmental conditions, for example for operation in staging systems. Technical processes can thus be controlled via external parameters without further adaptation of the process models.
