Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service 2016 Implementation Specialist — Question 4

For what purpose would you use the entity object attribute setting Change Indicator? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

• A. to highlight the attribute in the UI with a border when the original attribute value has been changed
• B. to fire an entity object custom method as soon as the original attribute value has been changed
• C. to automatically lock the corresponding record in the database
• D. to automatically refresh the attribute value if the underlying data in the database is changed by another user
• E. to define an attribute that the framework uses to check whether the update is about to happen on underlying stale data in the database

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the Change Indicator is specifically used to lock records in the database to prevent concurrent updates. Option A is incorrect because it relates to UI changes, not database locking. Option B incorrectly suggests firing a method, which is not the primary function of the Change Indicator. Options D and E address data refresh and staleness checks, which are also not the main purpose of the Change Indicator.
