Maintain Application Message Objects
Use this form to create and maintain records in the ObjectMainMessages and ObjectBuildMessages tables. These tables are used to build custom application messages.
All messages in the ApplicationMessages table are accessed by an Object Name. The ObjectMainMessages table lists the defined Object Names, each of which references a specific message via the Message Number value. Records in the table use two keys, Object Name and Message Type, so more than one message can exist for the same Object Name, as long as each message has a different Message Type.
For example, the existing message number MG_200 has the text "At least one &1 exists for &2." You can reuse this message number and text to construct a custom message. Specify an Object Name that briefly describes where the message is used, for example, you could include the IDO name and a unique number.
The Build Messages grid is only used for Message Types 17 (Constraint) and 18 (Delete Constraint).
For more information, see Building Constraint Exception Messages.
