🡆Variables: Variables are used to store and manipulate data within an integration flow during its execution. Their values can change dynamically based on conditions or processing steps .

🡆Examples: Variables can be used for temporary storage of intermediate results, for conditional logic to determine the flow’s execution path, or for creating dynamic file names .

🡆Parameterization: This involves externalizing configuration values from the integration logic, making it adaptable to different environments or scenarios without requiring code changes. Parameters are defined at design time and their values are provided at deployment or runtime.

🡆Common Types: This includes pipeline parameters to control overall behavior (e.g., target system URLs or file paths) and environment parameters that are specific to a development, QA, or production environment.

🡆Example: You can define a parameter named TargetSystemURL . In an HTTP connector, you would use a reference like @{pipeline().parameters.TargetSystemURL}. When the integration is run, you would provide the specific URL for the target system .
