How can I store variable persistently ?

Hi,

I'd like to store some string value persistently, and recall and use the string value as a shape data of visio.

I thought Memory file could be an option, because you can store strings to Memory file, but don't know how you can recall and apply it as a shape data.

Any good way to achieve that ?

You can store values in view or element properties, and use these in your drawing using the [proerpty:propertyname] placeholder.

On the other hand, is there a way to store from a drawing to a property value?

Ive Herreman [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 19th April 2021

Not directly.
To achieve this, you’d need to trigger an automation script from the visual, which sets the property value.

Hi Mahito Murakami,

Yes, this is possible by adding '__saved_' prefix before the name of your session variable (DM Help)

Hi Jarno,

Thank you for your answer.
As far as I understand, saved session valuable is stored in client side, but not on server side, that means, you can not share the value with other users/clients, am I correct ?

Jarno Lernou [SLC] [DevOps Enabler] commented 19th April 2021

You are correct on that. This is indeed client-side.
If you would like to save things persistently, you can indeed use properties on the View/Element/Service. If it is something related to the element itself, you can also store it there.
