   Based on your selection for the Target field, the Output Namespace and Output Datatype fields are automatically filled in.

   A new entry is created in the bpel_process_name_sensor.xml file:

   <sensor sensorName="LoanApplicationSensor" 
       classname="oracle.tip.pc.services.reports.dca.agents.BpelVariableSensorAgent"
       kind="variable" 
       target="$input/payload">
     <variableConfig outputNamespace="http://www.autoloan.com/ns/autoloan"
                     outputDataType="loanApplication"/> 
   </sensor>
