Configuration Objects (ttdcm0501m000)
You can perform these actions:
- Add, delete, duplicate, and update configuration objects.
- View the configuration data companies.
- Export and import configuration objects.
- Import the default LN configuration objects.
Configuration objects are the main, basic building blocks of a configuration data export or import. A configuration object represents one or more related database tables or a logical subset of functionality. A configuration object instance can be a record of a database table that is actually exported or imported.
For example, the Countries (tcmcs010) table includes the records China, India, and USA. Configuration object Common - Countries is defined for the Countries (tcmcs010) table. In this case, China, India, and USA are the instances of configuration object Common - Countries.
For object-based configuration objects, you can export or import all instances or individual instances.
