About this task

Several methods are available for updating records in the Electronic Journal. All of them accept a formatted record or a context instance and a format name, and work the same way as the addRecord methods. The Journal service allows the application to do the following:

These methods, by default, update all the columns defined in the database table for the selected records, and they expect values for all the columns to be found either in the data hash table as new values or in the operation context. An additional argument can be passed to all the methods to specify which columns are to be updated.
