- Select Data Dictionary and choose any of the following provider data dictionaries:
- Gateway
- File
- Unifier
Note: For a checklist of all the features supported in each data dictionary, refer to the Features of Provider Data Dictionaries.
- Select the row containing the business object you want to copy.
- Select theActions menu and then select Copy.
- In the General step of the Object and Fields wizard rename the copy of the current object.
The default name of the copied object is always created with the word, Copy. For example, exchange_rate Copy.
Note: Select Next on each screen to advance to the next step.
- In the Fields step, add, edit, or delete fields supported by the business object.
- In the Flow Control step, add, edit, or delete the data flows supported by the business object.
- In the Cross reference step, add, or edit the cross-reference key field to be associated with the corresponding Gateway object.
