BPParameter Object
Description
An instance of a parameter in a business component.
Remarks

A BPParameter is based on a ComponentParam. The BPParameters are added automatically to the BPComponent when it is created from the Component. Every ComponentParam in the Component becomes a BPParameter in the BPComponent. The default value is the value of the ComponentParam from which the BPParameter is created.

The value of a BPParameter is either a constant or the value of another BPParameter. BPParameter.Type is either CONSTANT or REF_BPPARAM, respectively.

If a CONSTANT, get the value from the ComponentParam.Value of the component returned by the ComponentParam Property of the BPParameter.

If the type is REF_BPPARAM, then the value is the output value of another BPParameter. Get the source BPParameter from the Reference Property, then get the source's constant value from its ComponentParam as described above: sourceBPParameter.ComponentParam.Value.

Get a BPParameter from the list returned by BPComponent.BPParams.

Save changes to the object with BusinessProcess.Save, using the BusinessProcess object of which this is a child object.
