Binding issues after transport to production

[Carolyn Fuller]

Jocelyn,

I do generate version before modifying the workflows in development.

We do our production validations on workflow transports before midnight.

I take this to mean that if a workflow's binding is working properly  
in our QA environment, then SWU_OBUF should clear up any binding  
issues after a transport to production?
