Comments
The pValidateAction command validates an action using the rules contained in the EntitySet ObjectActions. Entries in ObjectAction define a state machine for certain types of processing. The pValidateAction command
- determines if an action is valid in the processes current state/view.
- if it is valid, it determines what the new state/view should be.
- automatically causes data save or discard actions to be performed first if necessary.
