Re: Context: (01)

is a document that explains some aspects we are technically linking together
for our LiveCycle Enterprise Suite Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)
servers here: (02)
http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_bamworkbench (03)
Section 2 is a good place to start or just search for the term "context". I
hope this sheds some light on our interest. (04)
