Using the same name for a variable in multiple components

[_AnonymousUser]

Hello,

I have a job which uses multiple tJavaRow components. I would like to use the same variable names in each component. However, they should point to the variable as defined in that component, is that possible? If I recreate the same variable name I get the error "Duplicate Local Variable".
Thanks,
Doug

Hi,
You can define a context variable and use this variable on different/multiple components.

Thanks for that. If I use that context variable in each component, can I assign different values to that variable per component?

You can also use global variables ( same as in java) but these are local to the job 

Syntax is globalMap.get("X") ,  globalMap.put("X","")

Hi,
The tcontextLoad/ Implicit context load is used to load value of context variable from properties file.
Here is a related scenario in component reference:TalendHelpCenter:tContextLoad.
Best regards

if I create a context variable I have 1 variable throughout my job. I want one variable per tJavaRow component, of which the scope is limited to the tJavaRow component. the context variable's scope is job-wide, right?

Any ideas on this one?
