Creating New Key Set Configuration

Create a new file called KeyServer.dmx in the location EJBServer\components\pim\data\initial containing the key set definition for the Business Object Type. Sample content for this file is provided below:

<row>
	<attribute name="strategy">
		<value>KB1002</value>
	</attribute>

	<attribute name="keySetCode">
		<value>UserBOMKS</value>
	</attribute>

	<attribute name="nextUniqueIdBlock">
		<value>0</value>
	</attribute>

	<attribute name="humanReadable">
		<value>1</value>
	</attribute>

	<attribute name="lastUpdated">
		<value>SYSTIME</value>
	</attribute>

	<attribute name="Annotation">
		<value>Key set for entities used in User BOM </value>
	</attribute>

</row>

There are several things to be noted in the Key Set definition:

• The property strategy with the value KB1002 indicates to the Key Server that the RAKS implementation should be used to generate key values.
• The property keySetCode specifies the name of the Key Set. In order that the corresponding Business Object Type can be identified, it is recommended that this name is based on the Business Object Type name. So, in the example, the Key Set for the User BOM is named UserBOMKS
• The property Annotation is used to provide a description of the purpose of the Key Set configuration.
• Other properties such as nextUniqueIdBlock, humanReadable and lastUpdated are provided with sensible default values.
