Extending an Integration Object for the Primary Id Field

This task is a step in Process of Making Siebel CRM Data Available to Add an MVG.

In this topic, you make the Primary Id field available to Siebel CRM Desktop. You make the primary on the opportunity available so that Siebel CRM Desktop can identify the record to display in the opportunity form if the opportunity includes more than one channel partner.

If this property were empty, then you would skip this topic and proceed to Process of Modifying the Customization Package to Add an MVG.
