PBL Methods

Introduces Business Process and Business Object methods

In Studio, a method can either be a Business Process or a Business Object. Both kinds support similar features, but they differ in:

Their visibility
The sets of available predefined variables they can access
Their runtime environment

Business Process methods can only be accessed from the process to which they belong. They are usually the implementation of an Activity. They have several process-related, predefined variables and they always execute inside a process-controlled transaction.

Business Object methods can run on the server side or the client side. They can be defined as functions and inherit behavior from a superclass of the object that contains them. Typically, they are visible from the entire project.
