Defining a Mapping of the Custom Object if You Are Using DB FACADE Storage

If you are using DB FACADE storage to store the object, then you complete a simpler procedure instead of Defining a Mapping of the Custom Object.

This task is a step in Process of Enabling Custom Object Synchronization in Oracle CRM On Demand Desktop.

To define a mapping of the custom object if you are using DB FACADE storage

1. Using an XML editor, open the od_basic_mapping.xml file.
2. Locate the <types> element:

   <sd2_meta>
       <database>
         <types>
         ....
           <type id="Currency" icon="type_image:Currency:16">
           ...
           </type>
         </types>
       </database>
   </sd2_meta>

3. Define the new mapping type for Custom Object 1.

   <type id="Custom Object 1" icon="type_image:Custom Object 1:16"/>

4. Define the new field for the type. No mapping to a Microsoft Outlook field is required if an object is stored in DB FACADE.

   <type id="Custom Object 1" icon="type_image:Custom Object 1:16"/>
     ...
     ...
       <field id ="Description">
         <type>
           <simple type="string"/>
         </type>
       </field>
     ...
   </type>

5. Save and close the od_basic_mapping.xml file.
