Completing the configuration

In some situations, manual configuration steps are needed to complete the configuration of your business objects.

Perform this task when you need to customize the artifacts generated by the wizard. You might do this in the following situations:

This topic provides detailed instructions for setting the CopyAttribute parameter to a table business object. Other changes to business object structures can be accomplished using similar techniques.

The CopyAttribute parameter is contained in the properties of the attribute for the column that you want to populate with values and application-specific information from another column.

For example, if you want the contact column of a new row in the table to contain the same value as the e-mail column, set the CopyAttribute parameter of the contact attribute to e-mail. You can use the assembly editor in IBM Integration Designer to set the value.


Procedure

  1. In the Business Integration perspective of IBM Integration Designer, expand the module name, expand Data Type, and then locate the table business object. The business object name is the name of the database schema plus the name of the database table. An optional namespace might be included at the beginning of the name.
  2. Right-click the business object name and select Open.
    The assembly editor displays the business object, which has a field for each column.

  3. In the assembly editor, select the column you want to set to match another column.

  4. In the Properties view, select Application Info. If the Properties view is not visible, right-click the column name and click Show in Properties.
  5. Expand Oracle ASI schema, and then expand OracleAttributeTypeMetadata.
  6. Right-click OracleAttributeTypeMetadata and then select New > oracleasi:CopyAttribute.

  7. Select the CopyAttribute property.

  8. In the Extension Details area, set the text value to the name of the column that contains the information to copy. The column can be in the current business object or its parent business object. To copy from a column in the current business object, set the value to the column name, for example, phoneid. To copy from a column in the parent business object, prefix the column name with two periods (..), for example, ..phone. The following figure shows the assembly editor with the CopyAttribute property set to a column in the current table.


Results

The business object is configured to use the CopyAttribute property to set the business object attribute and properties for a database column based on information in another column.


What to do next

You can now test and deploy the module.
