Specifying Recursive Links Between Parent and Child Business Components

The Recursive Link user property specifies a parent and child relationship between a business component and itself.

If Siebel CRM copies or deletes a record that resides in a parent business component, then the Deep Copy, Deep Delete, or Update Foreign Key Field user properties can copy or delete records that reside in child business components. If the parent and child are the same business component, then the Recursive Link user property must specify the link that defines this parent and child relationship.

The value for this user property must contain the name of a link that resides between the parent business component and itself. For example, to delete catalog subcategories if Siebel CRM deletes a category, you can use Deep Delete with the Recursive Link user property set to the following value:

Catalog Category/Catalog Category

You can configure Siebel CRM to modify the value for this user property, create a new instance of it, or deactivate it. No more than one instance can exist for each business component.
