If you want to use this workflow template in a workflow step of a workflow template, you have to define a binding for the mandatory container elements of the WS17900404 template. If you do not assign any values in the binding for the optional importing container elements, the system uses the default value.
When you define the binding, you have the following options:
You can specify the values directly in the binding of this workflow template.
You can assign the container element of the workflow template the value of the corresponding container element of the surrounding workflow template. In the latter case, you have to create the element in the same data type in the surrounding workflow container. For information about the data type, you can double-click the corresponding element of the sub-workflow.
