Given the UFIDs of ReleaseActivity objects, the task updates their statuses to the input value and their associated message to a string that says the sub-transaction status was updated by an Administrator. The task performs the update by invoking the updateReleaseActivity() API of StandardESIService.

Given the UFIDs of Release Activity objects, the task deletes them, by invoking the deleteReleaseActivity () API of StandardESIService.

Fetches the ESITransaction objects based on the input search criteria. The search criteria are specified either for transactions themselves, or for business objects (in which case, the associated transactions are fetched).

Given the UFID of an ESITransaction object, the task fetches the associated Release Activitiy objects, and then sets the status of the input transaction to a value based on the statuses of the fetched Release Activity objects. If no Release Activity objects could be fetched, the transaction is hidden using a call to the hideTransaction() API of StandardESIService. Also, if the transaction is set to a pending status, the checkAndExecutePostEvent() API of ESIReleaseUtility is invoked so as to invoke the postEvent() API if appropriate.
