Discardable MBOSET / MBO in IBM Maximo

·         These can be used on MBOSETS which are used for traversing forward only ie looping in

·         They should not be used while doing edit/save etc operations

·         Mboset will not cache the MBOs as it fetches from directly from database. This will minimise the JVM memory usage.

·         Discardable Mbo Sets are always read only.

Example below to make a MBOset discardable

MboSetRemote personSet = getMboSet("PERSON");
personSet.setFlag(MboConstants.DISCARDABLE, true);
