Note that if you fetch an assignment, change it, and call escalate your changes will not be reflected in the assignment escalated because we need to fetch the assignment from the instance in order to generate assignments correctly.

Specified by:

escalate in interface WFAssignmentRemote

Parameters:

memo - Memo for the transaction.

Throws:

MXApplicationException - throw with "workflow", "NoEscalate" if there no role to escalate to.

The relationship can also be chained. Such as ASSET.ASSETSTATUS.

Returns:

The returned related set specified through the relationship.

Throws:

MXException - "A relationship called {0} does not exist for the {1} business object" exception will be thrown if the relationship was not found. "Unknown Object" exception will be thrown if the database object can not be found through the relationship.
