Creating a Database Operation Action


Two kinds of database operations are possible in Workflow Policies—insert and update. Insert allows a record to be inserted into a table in the Siebel database. The update database operation allows one or more columns in an existing record to be changed.

In the following example, a database update occurs when you use Workflow Policies to update the value of the Priority field to Very High if the Severity is Critical.

  1. In the Workflow Policies Actions view, fill in the Actions applet fields.
    1. Create a new record in the Actions applet and enter the name of the action:

       Update SR Priority to Very High

    1. Select a predefined workflow policies program from the Program field picklist:

  2. Fill in the Arguments applet.
    1. Select from Name picklist:

       New Priority
