https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean<p>I am trying to use a file pickup event bean which starts the process as soon as it detects a file in a given directory. I already have such a bean, but it uses a fix bean editor input (which cannot be changed on the server) for defining the path in which to look for files.</p> <p>I would like now to replace this fix input with a global variable. But unforunately in the bean scope I have no access to the variable and ivy.var.get("name") returns null or empty.</p> <p>Has anyone an idea how to solve this?</p>enThu, 05 Jun 2014 10:06:59 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean#747<p>the .get("name") method return no value (i did not test if it is null or empty). Anyway it works now somehow, but i do not know why.</p> <p>Ivy ivy = Ivy.getInstance(); String var = ivy.var.get("HRM_IMPORT_ORDNER");</p>Marcel von WylThu, 05 Jun 2014 10:06:59 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean#747https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean#745<p>What exactly does return null? The result of the request or is it a NPE?</p> <p>I guess you created an environment and you added your global to this env. And you set the environment in the server administrator as active.</p>Daniel OechslinThu, 05 Jun 2014 09:46:57 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean#745https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean#743<p>yes I did try it, without any success.</p>Marcel von WylThu, 05 Jun 2014 09:37:58 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean#743https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean/742<p>Hi Marcel</p> <p>did you try a static access as well like: </p> <pre><code>Ivy.var().get("name") </code></pre>Daniel OechslinThu, 05 Jun 2014 09:36:58 -0400https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/741/how-can-i-acces-global-variables-in-an-event-start-bean/742
