Special value for simple attributes

Simple attributes in business objects can have the special value, CxIgnore. When it receives a business object from the integration broker, the connector ignores all attributes with a value of CxIgnore. It is as if those attributes were invisible to the connector.

When the connector retrieves data from the database and the SELECT statement returns a blank value for an attribute, the connector sets the value of that attribute to CxBlank by default.

Because the connector requires every business object to have at least one key attribute, make sure that business objects passed to the connector have at least one primary or foreign key that is not set to CxIgnore.
