Configuring a Link That Deletes Child Records If the User Deletes the Parent Record

The Cascade Delete property of a link determines if Siebel CRM deletes a child record if the user deletes the parent record.

To configure a link that deletes child records if the user deletes the parent record

Set the Cascade Delete property on the link using values in the following table.

Value	Description
Delete	If the user deletes the parent record, then Siebel CRM deletes all child records. Use Delete to delete values that Siebel CRM stores in a one-to-many extension table where the only related record is the parent record. Do not use Delete if the child business component in this link is a child business component in another link. In this situation, use CLEAR instead.
Clear	If Siebel CRM deletes the parent record, then it removes the foreign key reference and clears the value in the foreign key column. Use this setting if Siebel CRM might share a child record with another parent.
None	If Siebel CRM deletes the parent record, then it does not delete any records and does not clear the foreign key column. The default setting is None.
