Databases and the Data Model : The Data Service

The Data Service
The ActiveGrid Data Service is a special service for making database calls. The Data Service is different from other services in ActiveGrid Application because it does not have a Service Definition or defined input and output messages.
The Data Service provides a variety of operations for manipulating data, including save, commit, rollback, delete and insert. The Data Service also includes the getObject and getObjects operations.
The getObject and getObjects operations return a single complex type (getObject) or a list of complex types (getObjects).
You can call the Data Service in one of these ways:
In a Customized Action, click the Data Service button to Set ‘a variable (Setting Variables in Actions) or choose the data service in an Invoke (Calling Operations: Invokes).
Invoke the Data Service in custom code (Creating Your Own Services).
Click the Data Service button when setting a default value for the Page Message (Page Message) or a Page Variable (Page Variables).
