Updating a Custom Hierarchy by Processing Deleted Records

When you perform the update hierarchy procedure, the records that are deleted using Enterprise Integration Manager (EIM) are not processed. This procedure results in some records not having a parent record. To delete these records, update the custom hierarchy by processing the deleted records.

The Update Hierarchy function uses the new entries in the relationship table S_DYN_HRCHY_REL to update only the denormalized table S_DYNHR_RPT_REL. This function does not affect the user interface; the function affects only the data processing.

Before updating the hierarchy with deleted records, configure the Update with Deletion button in Siebel Tools. For information about configuring a button control, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

This task is a step in Process of Using and Administering Global Accounts.
