Error description

• A BPD inside a toolkit cannot dynamically invoke a linked BPD in
  a process application.
  
  When a BPD is located inside a toolkit and tries to dynamically
  invoke a linked BPD in a process application, then this BPD is
  not found.
  
  The problem is, that the search by name for the invoked BPD
  starts at the level where the calling BPD is defined and
  searches through the dependencies of the toolkit.

Problem summary

• A BPD inside a toolkit cannot dynamically invoke a linked BPD in
  a process application.
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  When a BPD is located inside a toolkit and tries to dynamically
  invoke a linked BPD in a process application, then this BPD is
  not found. The problem is, that the search by name for the
  invoked BPD starts at the level where the calling BPD is
  defined and searches through the dependencies of the toolkit.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added a new capability to start the search at root level. To
  enable this functionality, the name of the linked BPD must be
  prefixed with double slash ("//"). If for example, the name of
  the linked BPD is specified as "//MyBpd", then "MyBpd" is
  searched beginning at the root versioning context. If the name
  is specified as "MyBpd", then "MyBpd" is searched beginning at
  the versioning context of the calling BPD.
