Attribute application-specific information

Describes the metadata available to attribute application-specific information.

PeopleSoft component interfaces include collections and fields. A collection is essentially a group of more field and collection properties. For each field property, there are two getter and setter methods generated as part of the API. The method names are: where <Property Name> is the name of the property. A collection class is generated for each collection property and a get<Collection Name> is also generated in the parent’s class. The following diagram describes the relationship.
This illustration is described in surrounding text.
So that a business object reflects the structure illustrated in the diagram, each attribute that corresponds to a Field Property on a component interface is considered a simple attribute. The following table shows the metadata available to each attribute.
Attribute application-specific information Description
Getter Getter method for that attribute.
Setter Setter method for that attribute.
PrimaryKey GetKey/CreateKey attribute in the component interface or a key in the child collection.
FindKey FindKey attribute in the component interface.
EffectiveDate EffectiveDate attribute in the component interface.
EffectiveSequence EffectiveSequence attribute in the component interface.
SoftDeleteValue Set the value for this property with the value that will be used to update the corresponding value in the component interface when a top-level delete operation occurs. For example, if the property 'status' has its SoftDeleteValue set to inactive in the business object, set this value so that the same property in the component interface will be similarly updated by a top-level delete operation.
