About the QueryPage Method

This method is useful when the search specification retrieves a large number of records at the root component. To avoid returning one huge Siebel Message, you can specify the number of records to be returned using the PageSize argument, as presented in Table 10. You can also use method arguments such as OutputIntObjectName, SearchSpec, SortSpec, ViewMode, and StartRowNum to dictate which records to be returned.

Even though the QueryPage returns a limited number of records, it keeps the data in the cache, which you can then retrieve by calling the EAI Siebel Adapter with a new value for the StartRowNum method argument. Please note that this is only possible if the method arguments OutputIntObjectName, PageSize, SearchSpec, SortSpec, and ViewMode are not changed and the NewQuery method argument is set to False.
