KNTA_COMMANDS

This is a common table to all of the products in PPM Center. It stores all of the commands used by the various entities within the suite. Commands are referenced from entities such as object types, report types, request types, and workflow steps. The command itself does not contain the actual executions that are run, but rather serves to group command steps together and provide a facility (via the condition) to avoid having those steps run.
