Usage

1. Setup Activity:

   • Configure the required input arguments:
     • Document Id: Provide the ID of the document whose status needs to be updated.
     • Document Status: Specify the new status for the document.
2. Execution:
   • The activity executes asynchronously, retrieving the specified document, updating its status, and then saving the changes.
   • It uses the configured API context to access and update the document data via the document client.
3. Output:
   • The activity returns an updatedDocumentViewModel, representing the document with the newly applied status.

Considerations

• Data Integrity: Ensure that the document ID is valid and accessible to avoid errors during the update process.
• Concurrency: Be cautious when updating document status in environments where multiple processes might access or modify the same document simultaneously to prevent data inconsistency.
• Logging: The activity includes error logging, which can be enabled through the API configuration for troubleshooting purposes.
• Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application performing the update operation to prevent unauthorized actions.
