Yes, after loading the content in a datapage their are 3 ways you can do this:
1. Activity: Call "Save-DataPage" method.
2. Flow Action : Mention your Data page name in "SavableDataPage" in Action tab
3. Flow: Call the smart shape to save the Content of the Data page

Not a good idea but.. If you really want to do this, call activity in data save options and use Obj-Save method.

Seems the savable data page works fine for and existing data page instance, but to insert a new records we need to use the old way of Obj-Save.
Anyone if have found any work around with out getting this not recrods available with this value please update.

We are looking into - How to insert a record into a DataPage using Savable DataPage Concept .
So far , it appears , if the datapage is Savable, its expecting a record to exist. It requires the Primary Key to be passed to the datapage.
If we have to insert a new record, we don't have the primary key.
If anyone is able to insert a record via Datapage , please share .
Thanks.

Is there a way we can insert a new record using savable data pages ;i think the whole concept is around updating the data ,not for writing a new record.

Yes ,finally i figured out a way; often the problem lies in the default savable data pages generated while creating the data types. It has a data sourcing logic based on primary keys defined. As we are trying to write a new record ,this default data page may not work and throw some errors. Instead I did the following,
--Create another savable data page which is sourced from a data transform (no parameters should be defined)
--Inside the data transform ,move blanks/default values to all the fields in data type.
--In your flow/activity/flow action ,refer the data page and set appropriate values in all fields. (when you refer the data page ,it will be loaded based on the DT(i.e blank values)) ; override these values. For e.g via a data transform you can set appropriate values to fields inside this data page
--Save the data page (in flow using smart shape, in activity using Save-data page)
--If you observe tracer ,an error will be throw from Obj-Open by handle ,but as there is no record it will be gracefully handled and new record will be written to DB.

This worked for me. First of all update your savable data page SOURCE to data transform. In the data transform configure the the Parameters tab to set all the fields for the new record. Configure the same parameters on the Data Page also and select "Pass Current Parameter Page". Now call the savable data page from your flow action and pass the parameters. That's it, pega will take care of the rest. Now need of writing a activity with Page-New, Obj-Save etc all those methods. Enjoy the ease that Pega provides.

@SnehasisP0085 @GeorgeJ6156 Thanks for the solution. This works perfectly.
But this does not work if there is no single record already existing in the local data storage. In that case what should be passed as a parameter to the data page.

@AlagappanR Use the same savable data page remove the lookup and keep source as data transform map the properties in the data transform you want to insert into the data type
