Object Definitions, Value Types, and Naming Conventions
Object definitions can have the following value types:
- User-defined names
- Numerical values
- Boolean values (TRUE and FALSE)
- Siebel-defined constants
- References to the names of other object definitions
Example.
A field has the following values:
Name: Account Products
Text Length: 500
Read Only: FALSE
Type: DTYPE_TEXT
Column: PROD
As illustrated in the prior example, standard Siebel objects follow these naming conventions:
- Logical objects in the Business Object (for example, Account Products) and User Interface Objects layers use mixed case and embedded spaces.
It is recommended that you follow this convention in the Business Objects and User Interface Objects layers.
- Physical objects in the Data Object Layer (for example, DTYPE_TEXT and PROD) use uppercase and underscores.
This convention is enforced in the Data Object Layer.
NOTE: Always prefix the names of new objects with a meaningful text string.
For example, if your company name is XYZ Industrial Products, Inc. you might prefix the name of new objects with XYZ. You will find it a valuable convention during both development and upgrade.For more information about naming objects, see Configuration Guidelines.
