Name |
A name that describes what type of data the attribute contains. The name must be less than or equal to 80 alphanumeric characters and underscores. It cannot contain spaces or certain punctuation symbols, such as a period, a left brace ([), a right brace (]), a single quotation mark, or a double quotation mark. |
Type |
The data type of the attribute. Basic types include String, Boolean,
Double, Float, Integer,
and Date.
If the attribute references a child business object, specify the
name of a child business object definition. Attributes that reference
child business objects are called compound attributes. |
IsKey |
A boolean value, true or false, specifying whether this is a key attribute. Key attributes
uniquely identify a business object created from the definition.
Each business object definition has at least one key attribute. |
IsForeignKey |
A boolean value, true or false, specifying whether this is a foreign key attribute. |
MaxLength |
An integer representing the maximum number of
bytes the attribute can contain. To specify no limit, enter zero (0). |
AppSpecificInfo |
A string that provides information about the
attribute for a particular application, such as the name of a field in
a table or form that corresponds to the attribute. Connectors use
this information when processing the object. |
DefaultValue |
The value to assign to this attribute if there
is no runtime value. |
IsRequired |
A boolean value, true or false, specifying whether a value for this attribute is required
to create a business object. |
ContainedObjectVersion |
The version number of the child business object definition.
IBM WebSphere System Manager displays this value under the name
Type Version. |
Relationship |
The relationship between the parent business
object and the child business object. In the current release, the only
valid relationship is Containment. |
Cardinality |
The number of child business objects that this
attribute references. If the attribute references only one child business
object, the value is 1. If the attribute can reference many child business objects,
the value is a literal n. |
