Creating the Transient Business Component

This task is a step in Example of Developing a Task that Assists with Adding an Opportunity and an Activity.

This task uses a radio button group to provide the user an option to add an activity to the opportunity. It is not necessary to store the reply that the user provides in the Siebel database. Instead, you use a transient business component to store the reply. For more information, see the following topics:
