Creating Context Download Activity

Context Download activity is used to generate XML from a context variable. This is required when the context variable's information is to be stored in some target. This information can be passed as stream to other activities. For example, if you want to store variables and their values present in the context as per schema defined to any target activity like database target, File Target, then context download activity can be used. It will generate XML of context variables and their values, which can be further used.
