Update operation
The adapter uses the Update operation to compare the business component hierarchy retrieved from Siebel with the incoming top-level business object hierarchy.
The adapter compares the object retrieved from the Siebel application with the incoming top-level business object. Depending on the results of the comparison, the creation, update, or deletion of any child object will be processed and updated. If the child Create operation fails because the record exists, the adapter returns a RecordAlreadyExistsException error.
If the Update operation fails, the adapter returns a SiebelUpdateFailedException error.
