Returning data from the business review/approval process to an ItemCollector collaboration object

When the business review/approval process completes, the WebSphere® MQ Workflow process sends the container with the updated status to the WebSphereMQWorkflowConnector.

Purpose

At this point, the flow becomes synchronous again. The WebSphereMQWorkflowConnector maps the WebSphere MQ Workflow container back into a partial Retail_Item business object by passing it through the MQWF_Retail_Item_to_Retail_Item map and then invokes an ItemCollector collaboration object. Values for the following attributes must be mapped back into the Retail_Item business object from the WebSphere MQ Workflow container: The data mapped back into the Retail_Item from the WebSphere MQ Workflow container must also be matched with configuration property settings for the ItemCollector collaboration object, which determine which updated attribute values to copy back into a complete Retail_Item business object. See Merging static data by using the X_COPY ATTRIBUTE configuration properties.
