Vendor Certification Expressions: Expression Operators, Functions, and Global Variables › Functions and Global Variables

Functions and Global Variables

This section describes some of the expression operators, functions, and global variables you can use in your vendor certification expressions.

You can use MVEL syntax in vendor certification expressions. MVEL is a publicly available embeddable Expression Language for Java environments that has a syntax close to Java. MVEL supports expressions similar to Java expressions.

You can build expressions using operators, you can use braces to control precedence, and you can terminate statements by semi-colons. For a detailed reference of the MVEL language, see http://mvel.codehaus.org.

The MVEL language has vendor certification utility functions and vendor certification global variables that you can also use in vendor certification expressions.

To study the use of functions and global variables, you can use the Vendor Certification tab in CA Performance Center.
