Else, if he/she selects a particular activity we'll only push corresponding Activity directory and its corresponding script directory from the core.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">It would be really great to have your views upon it.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Thanks and Regards<br></div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(136,136,136)">Devendra Vyas</span></div></div></div></div></div></div>
