Data View

The openrecord;dv operation is used to open a data view.

The subjectAreaID identifies the subject area, and param1 identifies the record. As with SIF APIs, a record can be identified either by rowid or by system name and source key. When using source key, be sure to include any leading or trailing spaces in the value.

Additionally, param2 can be used to specify xref, history, duplicates to open the Data View with the

Cross References

History

, or

Find Duplicates

screens.

Examples:

http://<host>[:<port>]/bdd/?deeplink=openrecord;dv;test/Customer;rowid:268
http://<host>[:<port>]/bdd/?deeplink=openrecord;dv;test/Customer;
systemName:SFA,sourceKey:CST1160
http://<host>[:<port>]/bdd/?deeplink=openrecord;dv;test/Customer;rowid:268;xref

Merged records are a special case. If you merge a record with another record, the merged record has the rowid of the surviving record. You can, however, continue to use a bookmark URL that references the non-surviving rowid. In this case, the URL is redirected to the merged record rowid. For example, let's say that you merge two records with rowids 1 and 2, and the merged record has the rowid 1. If you use a bookmark URL and specify rowid 2, the link is redirected and retrieves the merged record with rowid 1.
