Provisioning Schema::context

Element that encapsulates transaction-specific contextual information for a provisioning request. This element is part of the provisioning schema of Microsoft Provisioning Framework (MPF).

The context node has two uses in MPF. In requests, context encapsulates:

Transaction context (TIP URL, transaction ID that MPF generates for an incoming request)
Security context (security credentials used for authentication)
Queue context (queue ID and failure handling attributes)
Client context (ID that the calling user uses to track the request, client's locale ID)

When the Provisioning Engine executes the request, it generates a corresponding context child node in the executeXML node it passes to the called procedure. Here, the context node contains:

Transaction context (same as above)
Execute context (namespace name, procedure name, and source provider name)
Security context (same as above)
Client context (same as above)
Error context (if the procedure executes within a catch block)
