Integration Object User Properties

---

You can define user properties for your integration objects. These user properties help determine special processing and behavioral requirements of integration objects for a specific eAI adapter.

The Level column shown in table can take on the following values:

§     O, for Object Level

§     C, for Component Level

§     F, for Field Level

Table 6.  Integration Objects User Properties
User Property	Allowable Values	Level	Description
Association	Y,N	C	Default is N. If set to Y, it labels the integration component as having a many-to-many relationship with its parent integration component configured by a Link with an intersection table. Not applicable to root integration component.
MVG	Y,N	C	Default is N. If set to Y, it labels the integration component as having a many-to-one relationship with its parent integration component configured by a Multi Value Link defined over a Link without an intersection table. Not applicable to root integration component.
Picklist	Y,N	F	Default is N. If set to Y, the field is based on a picklist and the EAI Siebel Adapter validates the field value using an associated picklist, bounded or non-bounded. If the picklist is non-bounded and the value does not match, then the EAI Siebel Adapter logs a warning but the value is set accordingly. If this property is set to N, or is not defined, then the EAI Siebel Adapter leaves the validation to the Object Manager, aborts the processing if the validation fails for the bounded picklist, and logs a warning. See Performance Considerations.
PicklistUserKeys		F	The value of this user property is a comma separated list of integration component fields that are used to find the matching record in the picklist (for example, Account, Account Location). For details, see Picklists.
Ignore Bounded Picklist	Y,N	O,C,F	Default is N. If this property is set to N and the Picklist is set to Y, and the value provided does not match any of the values in the picklist, then the EAI Siebel Adapter stops processing, writes an error to the log file, and rolls back the transaction. If this property is set to Y and the value provided does not match any of the values in the picklist, then the EAI Siebel Adapter reports a warning in the log file and sets the field to Null.
MVGAssociation	Y,N	C	Default is N. If set to Y, it means the integration component has a many-to-many relationship with its parent integration component configured by a Multi-Value Link defined over a Link with an intersection table. Not applicable to the root integration component.
MVGFieldName	Any valid field name in the business component	F	If the component that owns this integration field is labeled MVG, this user property gives the name of the business component field as the value known by the MVG component. In this case, the External Name property of the integration component field references the field name in the parent business component.
AssocFieldName	Any valid field name in the business component	F	If the component that owns this integration field is labeled MVGAssociation, this user property gives the name of the business component field as the value known by the Association MVG component. In this case, the External Name property of integration component field references the field name in the parent business component.
NoInsert	Y,N	C	Default is N. If this property is set to Y at the component level, the EAI Siebel Adapter is prevented from inserting a new record into the component. The EAI Siebel Adapter aborts the processing of the EAI Message and returns an error message. This allows you to limit the functionality of an integration object to a subset of what the underlying business object allows. This user property cannot override limitations imposed by the Business Object, Business Component, Link, and Multi-Value-Link.
NoDelete	Y,N	C	Default is N. If this property is set to Y at the component level, no records in that component can be deleted. The EAI Siebel Adapter aborts the processing of the message and returns an error message. This allows you to limit the functionality of the integration object to a subset of what the underlying business object allows. This user property cannot override limitations imposed by the business object, business component, Link, and Multi-Value-Link.
NoUpdate	Y,N	C,F	Default is N. If this property is set to Y at the Component level, no fields in that component can be updated. If an existing record needs to be updated, EAI Siebel Adapter aborts the processing of the EAI Message and returns an error message. If this property is set to Y on the field level, then EAI Siebel Adapter only logs a warning message and skips updating the field, and continues processing. This allows you to limit the functionality of the integration object to a subset of what the underlying business object allows. This user property cannot override limitations imposed by the business object, business component, Link, Multi-Value-Link, or Field.
FieldDependencyXXX	Any active integration component field name within the same integration component	F	Defines a dependency between the integration field that has this user property and the integration field specified by the value of the user property. Multiple dependencies are specified by separate user property entries. The field specified in the value must be from the same component as the field that has the user property. Dependencies constrain the order of field processing within an integration component. If field A depends on field B, then field B is processed before field A. Also see About Integration Objects.
AdminMode	Y,N	C,O	Default is N. Sets AdminMode on the business component. Some business components, such as Internal Product, allow only administrators to make modifications. You may allow modification of such components during integration, by setting the AdminMode property to Y on the integration component or the integration object level. The setting at the integration component level overrides the setting at the business object level. This property can not be used in MVGs. For details, see Siebel Tools Online Help
ViewMode	Manager, Sales Rep, Personal, Catalog, Group, Organization, All	O	Default is All. Specifies the visibility mode of the business component that EAI Siebel Adapter uses. The allowable values are based on REPOSITORY_BC_VIEWMODE_TYPE LOV.
AllLangIndependentVals	Y,N	O	Default is N. If set to Y, this user property forces the EAI Siebel Adapter to use language-independent values for LOV-based integration component fields. This is useful when there is a requirement to support integration between systems that use multiple languages. If set to N, all LOV-based fields use language-dependent values. If this user property is not defined for the integration object, multilingual LOV-based fields (MLOV) use language independent values, while single-language LOV fields use language dependent values.
