Re: [Myexperiment-discuss] Shim Library Prototype

[Mannie Tags]

Hello,

The beanshell extraction was done via the myExperiment (search) API,  
which would mean that workflows with restrictive sharing permissions  
should remain untouched.  So, no; beanshells from private workflows  
were not and cannot be extracted.

Please note, the library was populated using workflows as of a  
specific date.  Workflows uploaded to myExperiment after that date  
will not be parsed for beanshells.

I hope this was helpful.

Regards,
Mannie
