The Release Operation

The Release operation captures and freezes the content of the Business Objects contained in a Change Set.

The operation starts by performing a check to see whether or not a user is permitted to read the relevant Business Objects. It then collects all of the Business Object contents and converts them into XML fragments. It gathers the fragments into a single Change Set XML document, and then saves the Change Set XML document to a release area. All of these activities take place in a single transaction.

As part of the operation, BOMs are used as follows:

• AuthorisationBOM (if provided) or SecurityBOM : Check that the user has the appropriate permissions to read each Business Object in the Change Set
• ReadAndUpsertBOM : Read the Business Object contents from the data store, and convert to an XML document.
