Joe….that is ‘one’ of the things the Commit Changes does….when you are NOT in a dialog window, for example in a search window, the commit changes action performs the search, if in a submit window, it creates the record…if in a modify window it saves changes…so I think they ‘kinda do the same thing’
From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Martin D'Souza Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 2:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Commit Changes vs PERFORM ACTION APPLY ** If you have a direct SQL query in your workflow, you do not need to use either of these after the Query. The AR Server performs the commit after the successful execution of that query wherever a commit is required (in case of insert, update or delete). Perform-Action-Apply is used for submitting in a submit or modify window and search in a search window while commit changes is used to push the values from a child window in a dialog box operation to the parent window after the child is closed, on fields where there was a mapping on window close between the parent and child window..

Is one better to use than the other on ARS 6.3? I have one active link that populates data from a SQL query and a second active link to commit the changes. These were probably created under ARS 3 or 4. The Commit Changes does the job but always looking to smart way to do things.
