Primary Id Field property of Link Object in Siebel

11 June 2009 940 views 5 Comments

This is the property of Link object.

Primary Id Field is the optional property and specifies the name of the field in the master business component that holds the row ID values pointing to primary records in the detail business component.

Let me explain this to you, Lot many developer face problem to understand this properly

We have an Opportunity and a sales team associated with that.

We click on sales team which has MVG applet associated with that. In MVG applet we select a sales person as primary by checking the primary flag to TRUE.

Priamry id field

Now the primary sales person, the row id of this record will be stored in master BC field, this will be the field which is mentioned in the primary Id field of link object.

Another interesting point here is that there is a similar property on Multi Value Link object (that is the child object of business component). When I interviewing new developers I always ask what is the difference between them…

Could anyone explains which is the difference between the primary Id field in the MVLLinks and in Links? What happens if we don´t populate this property in the MVLLink but we do in the destination link of this MVLLink? Thanks
