External Persistent Data

Runtime 2019.810 Builder 7.6.0 You can mark attributes of a persistent state class as external by applying stereotype <<External>>. This can speed-up persistent state performance if you have huge data objects (like e.g. big blobs, IDocs or PDFs) that are only used in few transitions.

...

• Stereotype <<External>> can only be applied to strings, blobs, arrays and classes.
• External attributes cannot be a primary or a search key, so do not mix stereotypes <<External>>, <<PrimaryKey>> and <<SearchKey>>. Multiexcerpt includeSpaceWithExcerptINTERNALMultiExcerptNamepstate_warning_external_attributesPageWithExcerptINTERNAL:_bridge_excerpts
