Process flow keeps its data in a memory called Process Flow Context that is used by the process flow during its execution. When a process flow takes any data from the context, it uses the context source activity. Context Source is used to read a variable and stream it out to other activities of the process flow. In addition, Context Source can also read a file from the repository (WebDAV or File) and pass it to other activities. Similarly, when a process flow sends any data to the context, it uses the context target activity.
To create a Context Source/Target activity:
In Process Designer, in the Repository View panel, select Activities > Source > Context Source.
Drag the Context Source to Canvas Area.
In Canvas Area, click the Context Source and select View Properties. Alternately, you can double-click the Context Source element. This displays the properties of the context source.
A list of properties and their descriptions are explained in the table below:
