Work with Objects

An Object is a grouping of Targets and is used to organize business objects within the data conversion project.

Using Console, an object (or multiple objects) is assigned to a context (a combination of a Wave and Process Area). A Target and Source (or multiple Targets and Sources) are then defined for an object in Target Design. Refer to Create the Contexts for Migration Projects for more information. 

The object assigned to the current context, which displays in the Context Bar, is the object that displays on the Objects page in Transform.

On the Objects page, a user can:

  • Click Reset or Process, which affects all of the objects’ associated Targets, Target Sources, and their associated rules and reports, along with Target exports.
  • Turn report publishing on and off at the object level. Refer to Report Publishing for more information.
  • Set an object’s priority, the order in which the object is processed, if multiple objects are assigned to the current context and are to be processed simultaneously.

To set priority for an object in Transform:

  1. Select the Objects icon from the Process Area Launch page.

  2. Click Edit for an Object.

    View the field descriptions for the Objects page.

  3. Enter a value in the PRIORITY field if there are multiple objects assigned to the current context.

  4. Click Save.
