Integration Object Structure

Integration objects are metadata structures that represent hierarchical objects using components and fields. For example, the Contact integration object might have the following components—Personal Address, Account, and Opportunity. Figure 5 shows a sample of the Contact integration object, and the integration object instance containing the data for Contact. The structure of integration objects includes:

• Components and Fields in Integration Objects
• List of Value Fields in Integration Objects
• Related Business Component Selection in Database Updates
• Unique Keys in Integration Objects

For data synchronization services, there are two types of integration objects. For more information about data synchronization services, see ASI Data Synchronization Services.
