Using a Siebel Operation Step to Traverse a Record Set

To traverse a record set, you can use the NextRecord, PrevRecord, and QueryBiDirectional operations on the Siebel operation step in conjunction with the Update, Query, and Insert operations. You can use the following operations to traverse the records of a child business component of the business object that the Workflow Process references:

  • NextRecord. Changes the active row of the business component to the next record.

  • PrevRecord. Changes the active row to the previous record.

You must configure Siebel CRM to perform a query on the business component before it uses another Next Record or Previous Record operation. If the Workflow Process traverses active records or if it uses the PreviousRecord operation, then use the QueryBiDirectional operation. Otherwise, use the Query operation.

You cannot use NextRecord, PrevRecord, and QueryBiDirectional to traverse records of the primary business component. These operations traverse records only for a child business component.
