Deactivating ASI Components and Fields

By default, all fields are active for use. You can deactivate fields for your particular business needs. In general, if you are deactivating the fields of an inbound ASI, you must also deactivate the corresponding outbound ASI fields; if you deactivate the fields for an outbound ASI, you must also deactivate the inbound ASI fields.

To deactivate a component or field

1. Open Siebel Tools.
2. Navigate to Integration Object, and choose the integration object you want to modify.
3. Select the components or fields you want to deactivate.
4. Check the Inactive column to make that component or field inactive.
5. Deactivate the map for the component, if an explicit map exists.

NOTE:  Setting all fields as active slows the performance time. By deactivating fields, the amount of data sent decreases. For high-volume ASIs, deactivating fields might significantly reduce the performance and physical considerations surrounding a given integration object. Deactivate unnecessary fields to help increase performance time.
