Hi,

if you implement custom assignment manager, it is up to you to code what 
it will do. In your implementation, you may e.g. access WebServices, you 
can access DB, you can ask for more information from shark, ... you can 
do what ever you want. I don't really understand what is your real 
intention...but it seems assignment manager might be the right place to 
do it...

Regards,
Sasa.
