Creating Context Upload Activity
- Gunjan Tulwani (Unlicensed)
Context Upload is used to map any field of a schema to the Process Flow Context Variable. Once the variable is set in process flow context, it can be used by any activity in the Process Flow.
Context Upload variables can be created for all types of schemas. In case of XML Schema, only those XML schemas, which are created by uploading XSD file, or DTD file (with Convert to XSD option enabled) can be used to create Context Upload variables.
