AssembleContext

AssembleContext is one half of a pair of actions used to snapshot and restore state inside a Ruleset transformation. This action returns a StorageNode that holds information about a transformation document for outbound EDI, and is used in conjunction with the RestoreContext action. Its counterpart works in the opposite direction: RestoreContext updates the variables and the RDO in the Ruleset with the data that is in the Storage Node.

This action belongs to a small family of "context point" actions, most of which are now considered legacy from the older V1 transformation engine. This set of actions works mainly with context points, which can be used to pass Ruleset Data Objects (RDO) and ENV variables between a Business Process and a Ruleset, or to backup and restore the data within a Ruleset. Many were used with the older version (V1) transformation engine.

It also shows up specifically in EDI data analysis: it is used in Data Analysis Rulesets to create context, where that context holds information about the transformation document for outbound EDI.
