Mappings (ttocm0105m000)

Field Information

Model

A code to identify the object model.

Standard

This check box indicates whether the model is a standard or a customized model.

You cannot maintain a standard model or its child components, such as actions and table relations.

You can delete a standard model if it is not deployed.

Object Type

A code to identify the object type.

Attribute

A BOD attribute.

Table

The table for which the mapping is applicable.

Include old value

This check box indicates whether the old, original, value must be used.

Function

If this check box is selected, the attribute is filled by the result of a function.

If this check box is cleared, the attribute is filled by the content of a table field.

DAL/library

The DAL2 script or general library that contains the function to fill the attribute. This can also be a library in the Extensions package (tx) to calculate custom fields.

This field is only applicable if the Function check box is selected.

Field/function

The table field or function to fill the attribute.

In case of a table field, the field must be present in the source table. Combined fields are not allowed.

In case of a function, the function must be present in the DAL or library specified in the DAL/library field. Such a function must be a function without arguments and must always return the calculated value as a string.

Standard

This check box indicates whether the mapping is a standard or a customized mapping.

If you copy a model from a standard model, the mappings in the new model are standard; the new model itself is not standard.

If you modify or create a mapping, the Standard check box is automatically cleared.

Note: If you change the attributes back to the standard definition, the Standard check box stays cleared.
