Create Operation

The create operation allows the client to create a new record in the local database. To execute a create operation on an MBO, create a new MBO instance, and set the MBO attributes, then call the save() or create() operation. To propagate the changes to the server, call submitPending.

(void)create

Example 1: Supports create operations on parent entities. The sequence of calls is:

SUP101Customer *newcustomer = [[SUP101Customer alloc] init];
newcustomer.fname = @”John”;
...  //Set the required fields for the customer
[newcustomer create];
[newcustomer submitPending];
[SUP101SUP101DB synchronize];

Example 2: Supports create operations on child entities.

SUP101Sales_Order *order = [[SUP101Sales_Order alloc] init];
[order autorelease];
//Set the other required fields for the order
order.region = @"Eastern";
order.xxx = yyy;

SUP101Customer *customer = [SUP101Customer find:1008];
[order setCustomer:customer];
[order create];
[order.customer refresh]; //refresh the parent
[order.customer submitPending];  //call submitPending on the parent.
[SUP101SUP101DB synchronize];
