Including nonpersistent fields in the object structure

You can include nonpersistent field data in an integration message. By default, the business object nonpersistent fields are excluded from the object structure definition. Business objects use nonpersistent fields for calculations or for temporary storage of data.

Before you begin

If you want to change a predefined object structure, make a duplicate of that object structure to create a user-defined version that is suitable for modification.

Procedure

  1. In the Object Structures application, select the object structure that you want to update.
  2. Select the business object that contains the nonpersistent field that you want to include.
  3. From the Select Action menu, select Exclude/Include Fields.
  4. Click the Non-Persistent Fields tab to display the nonpersistent fields in the business object.
  5. Specify whether you want the nonpersistent field to be included or excluded.
    Option Included
    Include the field Selected
    Exclude the field Cleared
  6. Click OK.

What to do next

You can generate schema files and view the XML structures of an object structure web service.
