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 a commit step to handle an error that occurs during the commit. For example, if a commit attempts to save a record that is missing a required field, you may wish to have the exception step return you to the step that should have collected that required field.

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
