Dataslot update

A monitoring process can contain dataslots of any type, but BP Server supports only a certain dataslots for monitoring worksteps. The Table 30 describes the java type for each of the supported dataslot in a monitoring process.

Table 30. Java types for monitoring process dataslots
Dataslot type	Java type	Remarks
INT64	com.progress.lang.Int64
INTEGER	com.progress.lang.Integer
CHARACTER	com.progress.lang.Character	If the CHARACTER dataslot length is longer than the maximum length specified in the process template, then the excess length is truncated.
DECIMAL	com.progress.lang.Decimal
HANDLE	com.progress.open4gl.Handle
LOGICAL	com.progress.lang.Logical
DATETIME-TZ	java.lang.GregorianCalendar	In milliseconds.
LIST	java.util.Vector
MAP	java.util.Hashmap
OBJECT/ BUSINESS OBJECT	---	Not supported
MEMPTR	com.progress.open4gl.Memptr
TABLE	com.progress.open4gl.ProDatagraph
DATASET	com.progress.open4gl.ProDatagraph

The external UPDATE_DATASLOT event can contain any of the supported dataslots defined in the target process. BP Server processes only the valid dataslots and ignores the remaining dataslots. If EIId dataslot is passed as part of dataslots, then BP Server ignores it and adds a warning in the log.
