3 | An extension point is an activity (or other rule) that is designed and intended to be overridden to meet application needs. Many such rules are empty stubs that contain no steps. Typically, the overriding rule is in a derived class. Process Commander itself includes a few dozen extension points. For example, the empty activity Code-Security.ApplicationProfileSetup is executed when an operator logs on. If your application requires special initialization processing for authenticated operators, you can override this rule (in your application's RuleSet) to perform such processing. (From PDN) | |||||
