updateSystemObject

There are two methods that update the database to reflect new values for a system record. One method updates the record without checking that there were no concurrent changes to the record, and the other method compares the SBR of the associated enterprise object in the transaction with that in the database to be sure there were no concurrent changes (see the Javadocs for more information). The EDM calls the method that checks for SBR changes when you commit changes to an existing system record.

If the enterprise record is deactivated during the update, potential duplicates are deleted for that record. If the enterprise record was changed during the transaction, the enterprise record is still active, and the update mode is set to pessimistic, the application checks whether any key fields were updated in the SBR of the enterprise record. If key fields were updated, potential duplicates are recalculated. Figure 20 illustrates the processing steps and includes the check for SBR changes though it only occurs with one of the methods.
