Property | Description | |
Mandatory | Specifies whether or not an instance of this composite is required to exist in the flat file. | |
Select... | To... | |
True | Indicate the composite is required. If you select True and the validate parameter in the pub.flatFile:convertToValues service is set to true, Integration Server generates errors when the composite does not exist in a flat file. | |
False | Default. Indicate the composite is optional. | |
Note: This property does not apply to a composite reference in a record reference. Note: For a composite reference in a record reference, the Mandatory value is determined by the composite reference in the referenced record definition. | ||
Extractor | Field number in the record that contains the composite you want to extract. This pulls the field or composite data from the record, or pulls the subfield data from the composite. If you leave this property empty, the composite will not be extracted. Click  to open the Extractors dialog box and select an extractor.Note: The extractor works for a composite only if field delimiters and subfield delimiters have been defined for this flat file schema. Note: For a composite reference in a record reference, the Extractor value is determined by the composite reference in the referenced record definition. | |
Validator | Specifies the type of validator to use to perform validation for instances of this composite reference as determined by the referenced composite definition. | |
Value... | Description... | |
None | Indicates that no validator is used. | |
Conditional Validator | A conditional validator and the criteria specified by the condition. | |
Note: For a composite reference in a record reference, the Validator value is determined by the composite reference in the referenced record definition. | ||
Check fields | Specifies whether extra fields in the composite instance are considered errors. This value is determined by the referenced composite definition. | |
Value... | Description... | |
True | Report errors if, at run-time, the composite instance contains more fields than those specified in the composite definition. | |
False | Allow extra fields at the end of the composite instance. | |
Note: For a composite reference in a record reference, the Check fields value is determined by the composite reference in the referenced record definition. | ||
Local description | Description of the composite reference. Use a local description to describe the purpose of the referenced composite definition in this particular flat file schema. | |
Alternate name | Another name for the composite definition. This value is determined by the referenced composite definition. When an IS document type is generated from a flat file schema, the alternate name is used as the name of the document field that corresponds to this composite definition Note: For a composite reference in a record reference, the Alternate name value is determined by the composite reference in the referenced record definition. | |
Description | Description for the referenced composite definition. Note: For a composite reference in a record reference, the Description value is determined by the composite reference in the referenced record definition. | |
ID Code | IDCode for the composite definition. The IDCode is provided in a SEF file and is used by the WmEDI package. Note: For a composite reference in a record reference, the ID Code value is determined by the composite reference in the referenced record definition. | |
