Examples of Business Object Declarations

You can set the PDQ in the Default Business Object declarations as described in the following examples.

The general format of a .cfg file is as follows:

DefaultBusObjs<##> = <Business Object name> | <Visibility> | <PDQ> | <Business Component 1> | <QBE for Business Component 1> | <Business Component 2> | <QBE for Business Component 2>

An example from the Handheld .cfg file:

DefaultBusObjs22 = Opportunity | 3 | | Account | [Account Status] = "Active" | Action | [Start Date] >= Today () - 30 AND [Start Date] < Today () + 90

The example Default Business Object declaration results in an extraction of the Account and Action business components where they occur with visibility of 3 within the Opportunity Screen. See Designating Visibility for further information on visibility codes. The Account business component is filtered to include only Active status Accounts. The Action business component is filtered to include current Activities (those occurring in the previous months and over the next three months).

Note that there is no PDQ included in the example. A PDQ is only included when you want to force the use of a particular PDQ synchronization filter. See Predefined Query Filters for more information on PDQ synchronization filters.

In the following example, the declaration is used to extract all of the Price List Line Items that will display within the Orders screen.

DefaultBusObjs13= Order Entry (Sales)|0||Price List Item|

Note that this declaration lacks an associated QBE statement. When this is the case, all of the records available to the user for the given visibility are extracted.

Another less common way to use the Default Business Object declarations is to set a single PDQ synchronization filter for the Business Objects or Screens that are synchronized.
