vcProductMatcher
vcProductMatcher monitors product needs (vcProductNeed) and feeds (vcProductFeed) and matches the needs and feeds with each other. A vcProductNeedFeedMatch instance is created for each matched pair.
A match can be made if the process group ID of the need and feed matches, the product type is accepted by the need (defined in vcProductFilter), and a valid transport solution exists between the transport nodes.
