Grouping According to Sort Key
Use
Each work item carries the two container elements _WI_Object_ID and _WI_Group_ID in its container. Both elements have been defined to hold an object reference.
-
The container element _WI_Object_ID automatically contains the reference to the object to be processed in the work item
-
The container element _WI_Group_ID can contain an object reference, which must be assigned to this container element in a binding or via initial value assignment.
The object reference assigned via _WI_Group_ID is generally not identical to _WI_Object_ID, but is derived from the work item execution environment. It is used to group work items that refer to different objects or object types but are nevertheless connected.
