Creating a Commit Step

A commit step is a type of task UI step that explicitly saves task data from temporary storage to the Siebel database. The end step also saves temporary data to the Siebel database when a task finishes. The commit step allows you to configure Siebel CRM to save data before the task reaches the end step. You can create an exception branch that emanates from the commit step to handle an error that results from persistent temporary data.

You must use a commit step in the following situations:

• To save data at an intermediate save point
• To make sure the user cannot modify some data
