The When
An execution contains the timing as well as references to all the aforementioned entities. Includes the state and log information for the given execution.
Each entity has a set of predefined fields or parameters. The fields are defined by the DataCloud and the values of all fields are available at the API level for read-only access, so fields may or may not be available for write access.
Each entity may have one or more parameters attached. A parameter is a name/value pair defined at the API level. Parameters are available for read/write access.
