Business object architecture defines various properties that apply to
attributes. This section describes how the connector interprets several
of these properties and describes how to set them when modifying a business
object.
Property | Meaning |
Default Value | Used when the attribute in the business object is not set, and the Required property is set to True. |
Max Length |
|
Name | Name of the attribute as it appears in the MetaSolv TBS API. |
Type | All simple types are of type String. |
Foreign Key | Not used. |
Key | Defines the Key value of the business object. |
Required |
|
The MetaSolv API requires that every attribute be specified when the API object is sent to the server. For both CxIgnore and CxBlank, the connector uses the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter-defined blank value.
The connector uses IsBlank as the business object equivalent of a fixed-length string, up to the maximum length of the attribute.
The connector expects dates in the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter generic date format (YYYYMMDD hhmmss). However, the time information is ignored, because the MetaSolv API does not support time.
