ID Generator Tool allows one to increase value stored in Environment Variable by one. It is very often used to generate/keep a running number (e.g. application reference number).

...

You will only need to do this if you are using MySQL, as other databases already default to "READ-COMMITTED".

Run following queries in MySQL.

SET GLOBAL tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED';
SET SESSION tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED';

You will get the following warning with the name printed out (e.g. status) in the server Joget log if you attempt to map to a non-existent Workflow Variable:

context attribute status does not exist in process context - adding new attributes to the process context is not allowed


MySQL Isolation Level

Note

The isolation defines the way in which the MySQL server (InnoDB) separates each transaction from other concurrent running transaction in the server and also ensures that the transactions are processed in a reliable way. If transactions are not isolated then one transaction could modify the data that another transaction is reading hence creating data inconsistency. Isolation levels determine how isolated the transactions are from each other.

You will only need to do this if you are using MySQL, as other databases already default to "READ-COMMITTED".

Run following queries in MySQL.

SET GLOBAL tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED';
SET SESSION tx_isolation='READ-COMMITTED';

You will also need to set the following in your my.cnf/my.ini file.
[mysqld]
transaction-isolation = READ-COMMITTED
