Console

Add an Object

Before performing this task, Add a Wave and Add a Process Area.

An Object is a migration object, and is assigned to a Wave-Process Area combination.  Examples of Objects include customers, basic materials, price lists or sales orders.

An Object can also have contacts and decisions and its history can be tracked.

To add a migration object: 

  1. Select Elements > Object from the Navigation pane.

  2. Click Add; the Vertical View displays.

    View the field descriptions for the Objects page

  3. Enter an object name in the NAME field.
  4. Enter an object description in the DESCRIPTION field.

  5. Enter a value in the PRIORITY field.

    NOTE: The value is the order the object displays on the Objects page’s Horizontal View.

    NOTE: When a Wave-Process Area uses the object, the object priority cascades down to Target Design. Once the target that belongs to the object is synced with Map, the priority is also available in Map and displays on the Objects page. The priority is also used in Transform, but can be updated in Transform on the Targets page to change the order the object is processed.

  6. Enter a COMMENT if necessary.
  7. Click Save.

The object displays in the OBJECT ID list box on the Process Area: Object page, and can be assigned to a Process Area.

An object can also be added by copying an existing object. Refer to Copy Elements for more information.

Once an object is added in Console, it can be viewed in Map and Transform.  If the object is deleted in Console, it no longer displays in Map and Transform. An object cannot be deleted if it is being used in Map or Transform in a data migration project.

Continue with Add Elements to a Wave.
