Any way to commit BO without submitting form?

Michael Wolf

I am working in v9.1 and I have an editable grid bound to a table business object.  The grid is a small part of a large form with segments that show/hide depending on which form part is being worked.  I have added a button next to the grid with a server side action to commit the BO but that does nothing.  Is there any way to commit the changes short of submitting the form?  If not, is there a way to submit the form server-side and have it reopen to the same panel/segment?  I'm going to have more grids like this on the form and I am hoping that I don't have to code SQL statements for everything.

 

Thanks!

No there is not.  The Business Object's data is an participates in the BPM transactional scope which is the action (i.e. everything is committed when the action/form is submitted).  If you did a commit in the middle of this, you would have the very real possibility of having unintended and un-audited side effects.  There is no way to submit from a server-side script, but you can use a button on the form to do a submit combined with a chained loopback action to re-open the form.
