Hi Chris, Carey. This is an interesting discussion, one that I have had with Chris and with BMC.
This special process does indeed do much like what its name implies and what Chris described. It incidentally gets around the most severest of limitations in the Filter API: the lack of transactional context (schema, values, user, etc), along with the filter cooperation requirement. Alas, this is indeed undocumented, and further, it is a "BMC only facility" as it is actually considered "part of the server code" rather than being able to be used by "user code" such as in a plug-in.

I would be interested in knowing more about how the inputs/outputs are specified in the $PROCESS$ call if this is the case. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
