  - #### type

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Type of objects to be processed.

  - #### archetypeRef

    Flags: RAM

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Archetype of objects to be processed.

  - #### objectRef

    Flags: RAM

    Multiplicity: [0,-1]

    Display order:

    Explicit enumeration of objects belonging to this object set. Functionally equivalent to "inOid" filter in "query". Mutually exclusive with "query". Limitation: 1. All uses except for in "roleMembershipManagementWorkDefinition" are considered experimental. (They should work but no guarantees there.) 2. The list here is translated into "has OID" query, so it may not work adequately for large lists of objects (e.g. thousands).

  - #### query

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Query specifying objects to be processed.

  - #### searchOptions

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Options to be used when searching for objects.

  - #### useRepositoryDirectly

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Whether to use repository directly when searching for objects. (There's usually no need to specify this.)

  - #### failedObjectsSelector

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Selects objects that were failed to be processed in previous activity run(s).
