Attribute Type Changes

Each attribute in an object is defined as a specified type. When type changes occur, the use of the attribute in a filter or result attribute may or may not impact your existing control incidents.

The following business object attributes were updated from an integer type to a long type:

  • Two Asset Books attributes, Set of Books ID and Flexfield Builder Defaults Identifier
  • Two Depreciation Methods attributes,  Depreciation Basis Rule and Reference Data Set
  • One Asset Mass Additions attribute, Clearing Account

NOTE: If you use attributes in your control results where data size or type changes occur, your incidents may be impacted. These attribute changes may cause some to be closed and recreated for attribute values previously truncated due to character length. No delivered library content models use these attributes.

Business Benefit

Updates to audit business objects are made to maintain alignment with records in Setup and Maintenance > Manage Audit Policies.

Steps to Enable

When you use business objects that introduce changes to attributes, you must run the Transaction Data Source Synchronization job. Business objects with changes require that the data synchronization job to be run in order to return the related values. Depending upon the number of business objects you are using across models and controls, the data synchronization job may take a little longer than usual.
