Acquire the Entity object you want to edit by using
the methods of the Session object.
Note: To
use the methods of the Session object, you must already know the definition
of the record. You can use methods of the Session object to have a
query find records that match criteria you define, and then work with the
records in the query's result set. To learn how to use the API for queries,
see Working with queries.
Only one user at a time
can edit a record and commit their changes. If one user starts to edit a record
while another user is already editing the same record, IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® allows only one of them
to commit their changes. The first user who validates and commits their changes
is successful. When the other user tries to commit changes, this user receives
an error stating that the record was updated while they were editing, and
their changes cannot be committed.
Results
Using the methods of the Entity
Object, you can perform these tasks:
View or modify the values in the record's fields.
Get additional information about the type of data in the
fields or about the record as a whole.
Change the behavior of a field for the duration of the
current action.
