Cross-Application Support for Node and Node List Data Type Properties

Node and Node List data type properties can now reference node sets in different applications in Enterprise Data Management.  This enables nodes in one application to reference related nodes in multiple other applications using properties.  When configuring a node set for a Node or Node List property in the Property inspector, the Assigned Application and Assigned Dimension parameters are available to select a node set from a different application.  Property values referencing nodes in other applications can be defined, derived, or inherited.  In expressions, node properties and locations are accessible from referenced node sets in other associated applications.

Business Benefit: Nodes from other applications can be directly cross-referenced using Node and Node List data type properties instead of requiring those nodes to reside in the same application.  Subscriptions that were previously used to synchronize nodes to the same application from other applications for referenceability may no longer be necessary.
