ABO Bulk Request - Explode Workflow

This workflow creates an action set from the list of contacts, accounts, or assets specified in the Bulk Request screen, Action Set Template view. Figure 87 shows this workflow.

The Bucket Size process property specifies the number of action sets to be synchronized with the Siebel database at a time. For example, the default value of Bucket Size is 5,000. A list that creates 10,000 action sets is synchronized with the Siebel database in two iterations. You can configure this value according to your list size and available memory.
