How Siebel CRM Filters Duplicate Records From a Join In an Applet

A join between two business components can return one or more records. For example, if the joined table is an intersection table. In the applet, Siebel CRM displays only the first record in the result set. An applet that references a business component cannot display duplicate records from the base table of the business component.

For example, a many-to-many relationship exists between the Service Request and Organization business components. The link between these business components is Service Request/Organization. This link uses the S_SRV_REQ_BU table as the intersection table. In the Service Request business component, you can add a join to the S_SRV_REQ_BU table and a related joined field. If the user queries the business component to get a service request, and then the SELECT statement gets all the organizations that Siebel CRM associates with the service request. Siebel CRM displays only one service request record in the Siebel client. To view all the organizations that Siebel CRM associates with the service request, the user can open the multi-value group applet that references the Organization business component.
