UPDATE Action

The UPDATE action invokes evaluation of rules attached to the specified business object (provided that there are any). For example,

   

UPDATE Account  

   

If there are any rules attached to the Account business object they will be evaluated. Normally there is no need to use this action, as rules will be evaluated whenever the object is modified. However, if an object contains a rule that performs scheduled operations (for example, IF DAY_DIFFERENCE(CURRENT_ DATE, Client.DateOfBirth) <= 3 Then SEND GreetingEmail TO Client), the UPDATE action may be used by a schedule process to invoke this rule (see Scheduling).
