Understanding Report Object Naming
To provide consistency for developers and users, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne enforces standard naming conventions by which all objects are named. When you create custom objects, you should adhere to these standard naming conventions.
The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne naming conventions require that each object, whether it be a table, report, interactive application, or business view, has a unique name. The naming conventions help you identify objects and prevent users from creating objects with duplicate names. They also simplify searching for object types and for specific objects. Object names begin with one or two characters that indicate the object type. A V indicates that the object is a business view. An R indicates that the object is a batch application.
When creating multiple objects that are intended to be used together, name the objects the same, changing the first character to indicate the object type. For example, this table illustrates how to name related objects created to meet an address book business requirement:
Object Type |
