Publish names

The Publish Name defines a unique value that identifies each record for a business object. This value can be composed of one or more fields with combined values that define a record as unique.

Take care when selecting the control number as the published name as these records cannot be updated via IBM® TRIRIGA® Data Integrator. The control number should only be used as the publish name definition for Log or non-permanent data, such as action forms or helpers. If the application does not have a requirement for the starting value of control number, use 1000000.

If a business object has base currency fields, the Conversion Group mapping property should refer to a field with a name like triConversionGroupLI that specifies which conversion group to use for converting to base currency fields. The default value should be Default. Also, the Exchange Date property should refer to a field with a name like triExchangeDT that specifies the effective date to use for converting to Base fields. The default value should be the current date.

When a user changes the publish name of a business object, the system requests confirmation of the change.
