Notes on Working with Complex Configuration Objects

Use

If you want to address configuration objects using the programming interface then you must know the technical names of the attribute and attribute values. The technical names are language-independent and, in contrast to those texts that are dependent on the logon language on the user interface (Integration Builder), they are not visible.

It is therefore not generally possible for complex configuration objects to work out the technical names of the relevant attributes and attribute values.

The following procedure is recommended for working with more complex configuration objects:

  1. Create an example object using the Integration Builder (user interface).

    Enter the attributes in such a way that the example object is similar to the object that you want to create using the programming interface.

  2. Display the XML representation of the object. To do this, in the object editor menu choose Start of the navigation path<Object Type> Next navigation step Display XML RepresentationEnd of the navigation path ( ).

  3. You can quickly work out the technical names by comparing the attribute values, which you entered using the user interface, with the values of the XML tag.
