Characteristics of a Transient Business Component

The following characteristics describe a transient business component:

• Stores transient data, including data that controls task flow.

• Defined in a way that is similar to how you define a business component except that it references the S_TU_LOG table and is of the transient type.

• Deployed the same way that you deploy a business component.

• Cleared after a commit step or when the user finishes a task.

• Supports a calculated field. The Calculated Field property indicates if the transient business component calculates the value of the field. If set to TRUE, then the transient business component calculates the value.

• Does not support multivalue fields.

• Does not support an explicit join.

• Is not stored in the Siebel CRM database.

• Does not support an insert, copy, or delete operations on a business component record. You can use a business component to insert, copy, or delete a business component record.
