IBM 4.6.x User Manual

 

 

 

When

 

developing

 

a

 

Siebel

 

business

 

object,

 

always

 

place

 

the

 

key

 

attribute

 

at

 

the

 

top

 

of

 

the

 

object.

 

This

 

ensures

 

that

 

the

 

connector

 

has

 

the

 

key

 

value

 

before

 

processing

 

the

 

rest

 

of

 

the

 

object.

 

Placing

 

the

 

key

 

attribute

 

elsewhere

 

in

 

the

 

object

 

may

 

lead

 

to

 

processing

 

errors.

 

The

 

key

 

attribute

 

for

 

an

 

object

 

is

 

its

 

RowId

 

in

 

Siebel.

 

  

The

 

connector

 

does

 

not

 

support

 

specifying

 

an

 

attribute

 

that

 

represents

 

a

 

child

 

business

 

object

 

or

 

an

 

array

 

of

 

child

 

business

 

objects

 

as

 

a

 

key

 

attribute,

 

except

 

for

 

the

 

child

 

of

 

a

 

top-level

 

business

 

object

 

(the

 

Siebel

 

BO).

 

  

When

 

developing

 

business

 

objects

 

for

 

the

 

connector,

 

you

 

must

 

ensure

 

that

 

there

 

is

 

a

 

1-to-1

 

correspondence

 

between

 

the

 

business

 

object

 

and

 

the

 

Siebel

 

business

 

component.

 

 

 

The

 

following

 

tables

 

describe

 

simple

 

attributes

 

and

 

child

 

object

 

attributes.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type

 

Data

 

Type

 

of

 

the

 

attribute.

 

Currently,

 

this

 

is

 

not

 

used,

 

but

 

for

 

forward

 

compatibility

 

reasons,

 

SiebelODA

 

sets

 

the

 

type

 

to

 

either

 

boolean,

 

String,

 

Date,

 

int,

 

double.

 

All

 

types

 

are

 

treated

 

as

 

Strings.

 

MaxLength

 

Applies

 

to

 

String

 

types

 

and

 

represents

 

the

 

maximum

 

length

 

allowed

 

for

 

the

 

attribute.

 

This

 

is

 

not

 

used

 

by

 

the

 

connector.

 

If

 

the

 

data

 

is

 

large,

 

it

 

must

 

be

 

handled

 

in

 

the

 

business

 

processes.

 

IsKey

 

If

 

set,

 

this

 

denotes

 

that

 

the

 

attribute

 

is

 

a

 

key.

 

It

 

is

 

used

 

with

 

Update

 

to

 

update

 

a

 

specific

 

record

 

in

 

Siebel.

 

With

 

Retrieve,

 

these

 

attributes

 

are

 

used

 

in

 

the

 

search

 

specification

 

to

 

get

 

the

 

record

 

from

 

Siebel.

 

During

 

Delete,

 

The

 

keys

 

are

 

set

 

on

 

the

 

top-level

 

business

 

components.

 

IsForeignKey

 

Not

 

used.

 

IsRequired

 

Set

 

to

 

true

 

if

 

the

 

attribute

 

for

 

the

 

fields

 

in

 

the

 

Siebel

 

business

 

component

 

whose

 

“Required”

 

property

 

is

 

checked.

 

AppSpecificInfo

 

Text

of

 

information

 

about

 

communicating

 

with

 

the

 

application

 

and

the

 

Siebel

 

business

 

objects

 

and

 

business

 

components

 

associated

 

with

 

this

 

business

 

object.

 

DefaultValue

 

If

 

set

 

for

 

the

 

attribute,

 

this

 

value

 

is

 

used

 

by

 

the

 

connector

 

if

 

one

 

is

 

not

 

set

 

in

 

the

 

inbound

 

business

 

object

 

and

 

the

 

connector

 

property

 

UseDefaults

 

is

 

set

 

to

 

True.
