Integration Objects Synchronization


Business objects often require updates to their definitions to account for changes in data type, length, edit format, or other properties. It is common to want to alter database metadata, but if you do so you have to also update your integration objects to account for these updates. Otherwise, you can cause undesirable effects on your integration projects.

Some examples of these changes are:

  • A field removed
  • A new required field
  • A new picklist for a field
  • A change of relationship from one-to-many to many-to-many
  • An upgrade to a new version of Siebel applications
