As something new it is now possible to create an arbitrary number of services; one is no longer forced to choose from the predefined pick, receive, etc services but can e.g. create a pick_extra_validation service and enable extra validation for new employees.
Service Configuration
The following configuration example shows how to convert the pick service and tasklets into using the new generic versions. It could just as well be an entirely new service type. The change has to be applied to the whole chain: service, filter, order list, order lines and registration taskletsadd a service called NewFeature.
To setup the service add the new ServiceManager service in app.config and move the pick NewFeature service configuration into the list of <services> provided by the manager.

</configuration>
</add> |
To add a service simply use the <add id="serviceName"> syntax and the service is referenced through its id. Copy the <configuration> section from the existing pick service.

Tasklet Configuration
The next step is to convert the accompanying tasklets from using the specific PickFilter, PickOrderList, etc. types to the GenericFilter, GenericOrderList, etc. versions instead by modifying the UserRole.xml configuration file.UserRole.xml
Add the following
