In some cases, PickList values are chosen based on more than one attribute. For
example, where there is more than one Account with the same name, a Contact
retrieve will get the first Account with that name if Account name is set as the
only PickList value. To ensure that the correct data is retrieved, you can restrict the
PickList by more than one field. In the following example, the Contact business
object is restricted by Account, Site and City:
[Key Attribute]
Name = ContactId
Type = String
Cardinality = 1
AppSpecificInfo = FN=Id
Name = Last_Name
Type = String
Cardinality = 1
AppSpecificInfo = FN=Last Name
Name = First_Name
Type = String
Cardinality = 1
AppSpecificInfo = FN=First Name
Name = Site
Type = String
Cardinality = 1
AppSpecificInfo = N/A
Name = City
Type = String
Cardinality = 1
AppSpecificInfo = N/A
Name = Account
Type = String
Cardinality = 1
AppSpecificInfo = FN=Account;PLK=Name;Restrict=Location:Site,City:City
The AppSpecificInfo for restricting PickList fields follows this syntax:
Restrict=<field name>:<Siebel GUI name>,<field name>:<Siebel GUI name>
There is no limit to the number of restricting fields. Do not use spaces between the
attributes after the Restrict parameter. All restricting fields must be added as
attributes to the business object, and should have no AppSpecificInfo. These
attributes serve as place holders for the restricting fields.
On a Retrieve, the application-specific information PLK=Id specifies that the
ProductName attribute corresponds to a PickList business component, and the set
parameter specifies that the value of the Id identifies which record the connector
should pick.
Some PickList relationships require the creation of a picked child, for example, the
PickList relationship between Account and Quote in Siebel_BCQuote. On a Create,
you must create a new Account business component for the PickList with a
containment relationship to the Quote business component as follows:
[Business Object Definition]
Name = Siebel_BCQuote
Version = 7.0.0
Relationship = Containment
AppSpecificInfo = ON=Quote;CN=Quote
Name = Account
42
