Choose the object type in question within the DocApp and select Insert | Attribute. We will first take an example by creating the attribute cust_news_summary
for the object type cust_newsarticle
.
Fill in the relevant fields in the new attribute creation screen as shown in the figure 11.17.
Similar to object type names, attribute names have certain restrictions that need to be carefully adhered to. Figure 11.18 lists down some limitations for attribute names.
Limitations |
---|
Should be in lowercase |
Should not begin with: white space, single quote (') or a numeral |
Should not begin with 'dm_', 'i_', 'r_', and 'a_' since Documentum internally uses these for its object attribute naming scheme |
Should not have a name that matches with the following reserved words in Documentum: 'from', 'where' and 'select' |
