  • Thanks for explanation. I would like to add more to why Hide process variable:
    Process variables are not only stored in process model, but also the change history is also maintained for the process variables. Which has much bigger impact on the memory footprint of the process instance.
    If we have process variable with the datatype of CDT, the amount of space being used can be much bigger
    To mitigate the effect of the modifying values of process variables, we can make the process variable as Hidden. Hidden process variables are not stored or accessible to the process audit history
