Deleting a Component from the Integration Object

If you choose to deselect a component in the Synchronization wizard, then you specify to the wizard to delete the component in the integration object with the matching External Name Context property. The integration object that exists in the database has a component with the same External Name, External Name Sequence, and External Name Context as the unchecked component in the component selection tree.

In the following figure, the Contact_Personal Address in the existing Account integration object is unchecked in the Synchronization wizard tree. This is represented by an X in the figure.

The following figure shows the integration object after synchronization.

As shown in this figure, the component Contact_Personal Address has been deleted. When you use the updated integration object, you cannot pass data for that component between a Siebel application and an external application. This example shows you how you might cause unexpected results by deselecting components. However, if you do want to delete a particular component from the integration object, then deleting a component from the integration object method accomplishes that goal.
