SerialObject is an application specific business object (ASBO) that holds the representation of the triggering business object that is stored in the database.
SerialObject is created in a collaboration object based on the DataStore collaboration template and is stored in the database by the JDBCConnector. (The JDBCConnector is the runtime portion of an IBM® WebSphere® Business Integration Adapter for JDBC.) The business-object-level application specific information field contains the name of the table in the database where the object is stored. The format is: TN=tableName (assuming that the table name is tableName). It is a sample business object that illustrates how the business object is involved in collaboration object operation. In a production environment, this sample business object would be replaced with a user-specified one.
Name | Type | Description | Key | App Spec Info |
---|---|---|---|---|
ObjectKey | If the GENERATE_KEY property of the DataStore collaboration object is false, ObjectKey is type String. If GENERATE_KEY is true, ObjectKey is type Integer. | Holds the unique key used to store the object in the database. The unique key is comprised of one or more attributes in the triggering business object concatenated together. Each of these object attributes must be of type String. The attributes of the triggering business object that make up the key are specified by the OBJECT_KEY property of the DataStore collaboration object. Maximum length is 255 characters. | x | Contains the name of the column in the database where this attribute is stored. If GENERATE_KEY is false, CN= ObjectKey::::: (if column name is ObjectKey). If GENERATE_KEY is true, CN= ObjectKey:: UID=xxx::: (if column name is ObjectKey). The variable xxx determines how the key is generated — see the Adapter for JDBC User Guide. |
ObjectData | String | Holds the triggering business object after it has been converted to a serial data string by the IBM® WebSphere® Business Integration Data Handler for XML. No maximum length. | Contains the name of the column in the database where this attribute is stored. CN= ObjectData::::: (if column name is ObjectData). |
To examine a listing of the attributes of the SerialObject business object, use the System Manager or Business Object Designer.
