you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OK button, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.

the Process area.
Retrieve Items
The Retrieve Items Action task locates and extracts items from the OL Connect Database so
they can be used with further tasks. The items are retrieved using a set of conditions working
together. Since this task can retrieve items at any level, it can be used to generate Metadata
(see "Metadata" on page69) or JSON data used in multiple tasks.
Input
The task requires no input file, but any input information such as Metadata, Job Info variables or
a data file can be used to specify which items to retrieve.
Processing
The task requests the items on the OL Connect Server using the conditions set in the task
properties. Only the condition information and the returned Metadata or JSON are exchanged.
