Specifying business object attribute properties

The i2 connector has various properties that you can set on its business object attributes. This section describes how the connector interprets several of these properties and describes how to set them when modifying a business object.

The following table shows the properties for simple attributes.

Attribute

Description

 

 

Name

Unique name of the attribute

 

 

Type

All simple attributes should be of type String.

 

 

MaxLength

Not used

 

 

IsKey

Each business object must have at least one key attribute, which you

 

specify by setting the key property to true for an attribute. The i2

 

connector does not check for this property.

 

 

IsForeighKey

Not used.

 

 

Is Required

Set to true if the attribute must have a value in the outgoing XML

 

message.

 

 

AppSpecInfo

Not used

 

 

DefaultValue

Specifies a default value that the connector uses for a simple attribute in

 

the inbound business object if the attribute is not set and is a required

 

attribute.

 

Rule: You must set and use the default value for the attributes of the

 

polling metaobjects and MO_Instance metaobject. If the default value is

 

set for the instance ID, and no value is set in the incoming business

 

object, the connector takes the default value and tries to connect with

 

this instance.

 

 

The following table shows the properties for child object attributes.

Attribute

Description

 

 

Name

Name of the child object.

 

 

Type

Business object type for the child.

 

 

Contained

For all attributes that represent child business objects, this property

ObjectVersion

specifies the child’s business object version number.

 

 

Relationship

If the child is a container attribute, this is set to Containment.

 

 

IsKey

Not used

 

 

IsForeighKey

Not used.

 

 

Is Required

For relationship details between XML elements and requiredness, see
