Hi, I am reviewing (and editing) the BES document, and have a question that doesn't seem worth raising in a tracker. In the state discussion, there are sentences something like the following: a) An activity stays in the StagingOut state until all staging out actions have moved to a Terminal state (Done, Exception, Terminated). b) If the terminal state of any staging out actions is Exception then the activity moves to a Exception state. I interpret these two sentences to mean that we only enter the Exception state when all staging out actions have completed. I.e., that if one stage out fails, but others are still going, we wait until the others have completed before moving to the Exception state. Is that correct? Thanks -- Ian.
