Custom Fields

Fields refer to all items under the Field Management section in the Oracle CRM On Demand user interface. Each object has its own set of fields that are derived from the functionality of the objects.

Table 12 describes the Oracle Migration Tool On Demand client commands used with fields. For more information about running these commands, see Migrating Custom Fields.

NOTE:  If you are extracting field management from a source Oracle CRM On Demand environment, then regardless of whether the fields exist in the target Oracle CRM On Demand environment or not, use the Upsert command. If you are manually creating the field definitions and not extracting them from another source Oracle CRM On Demand environment, then use the Create command.

The Read and ReadAll commands extract only the field definitions for fields that have been created by a user or preconfigured fields that have been modified. Unmodified preconfigured fields are bypassed because they exist on all company tenants by default. An object with unmodified preconfigured fields or without any newly created fields contains an empty XML file.

The system names for the record types are listed in System Names for Record Types. You might not have certain objects available depending on how your company is set up, so some of the system names that are listed might not exist for your company.

NOTE:  Nonadministrative Oracle CRM On Demand users can run the Read and ReadAll commands
