A workflow component that opens a stream to an item in a binary store. The stream is attached to the Aspire Job. The component takes the id of the binary to “read” from a configurable location in the Aspire document. The content source is similarly configurable, or a static value can be used. The component can be connected to any store service installed in Aspire.
