Modifying the Master Index Object Definition

When you use the wizard to define the object structure, all the configuration files for the master index application are automatically generated based on the information you provide. You can modify object.xml at any time prior to deploying the associated project, but you must regenerate the application and redeploy the project after doing so. If you modify the object structure using the configuration editor, the remaining configuration files are updated accordingly to keep them synchronized. If you update object structure by modifying the file directly, you also need to update the remaining configuration files. For example, if you modify the file directly and you delete a field from the object structure that also appears on the MIDM, appears in the SBR, and is defined for standardization and matching, you must remove the field from midm.xml, update.xml, and mefa.xml. Any changes made to the file without regenerating the project will not take effect.

The possible modifications to this file are restricted by the schema definition, so be sure to validate the file after making any changes.
