Some data are tracked internally by the System using a predefined set of Data Fields such as Status of Process. You can access these activity instance attributes in the same way you access regular data objects, but you cannot assign them new values.
The AOM Data Fields are automatically created from the entries in the AAI_AOM_APP_COMP_ATTR_MAPPING table. These Data Fields, which are marked as mandatory, will be displayed in the Select Run Parameters window while executing Run Pipeline. For configuring AOM Data Fields, see Configuring Application Object Model (AOM) section.
