Configure Global Variables

Global variables in DataSync provide reusable values that scripts and processes use throughout your Sage XRT Advanced integration. By defining these variables, you create centralized references that control settings or drive automation within post-execution scripts and data refresh operations. This helps ensure consistency and simplifies maintenance whenever these parameters need to be updated.

Configure two global variables:
