An object structure that contains multiple objects and
supports flat files or interface tables, cannot have duplicate field
names for any of the fields in its objects. You must resolve any field
name (alias) conflicts before you can generate interface tables and
flat file records.
About this task
If an alias conflict exists, the Alias Conflict check
box is selected on the object structure record. You can change an
alias only if the Support Flat File Structure check
box is selected on the record, indicating that the data is processed
using interface tables or flat files.
Procedure
- When an alias conflict exists, select a business object
in the Source Objects table.
- Select the Add/Modify Alias action.
If a duplicate alias exists for a field, the corresponding Duplicate check
box is selected.
- To update a duplicate alias:
- Click View Details for the duplicate
alias.
- Specify a new value in the ALIASNAME field.
- Click OK.
What to do next
After you resolve all alias conflicts, you can generate interface
tables and flat file records. If you use interface tables, you must
regenerate all tables that use the updated object structure. To regenerate
interface tables, select the Create Interface Tables action
in the External Systems application.
