The Corporate Unit Object

This item maps to the CorporateUnit object in the FlexNet Manager Suite compliance database.

Database interaction

If an incoming Corporate Unit is not matched by an existing record in the compliance database, a new record is created there.

If an incoming Corporate Unit matches an existing record in the compliance database, details are updated (as allowed for individual properties described below).

Behavior in the Business Adapter Studio

When you create new objects in the Business Adapter Studio, the Corporate Unit appears in the Enterprise Groups group in the right-click context menu.

Properties

The Corporate Unit object exposes the following properties in the data model for the Business Importer and the Business Adapter Studio.

For the ID property, the Business Adapter Studio offers a list of the output field names from previous objects in the adapter.

Maps to CorporateUnit.groupexid in the compliance database.

It is used (perhaps in conjunction with other properties) as a key for matching existing records there. In the Business Adapter Studio, SQL-like expressions for pattern matching (contained in the MatchingMask attribute of the adapter's XML file) are supported for this property.

An exception is the case when the incoming ID is null. In these cases, the property is excluded from the matching process, which then relies on other properties of the Corporate Unit object.

However, updates to the stored value of CorporateUnit.groupexid are not permitted.

Name

Type: varchar. Maximum: 128. Mandatory: adapters must provide values for this column.

Individual groups in the path through the enterprise group hierarchy are separated with the / character.

Maps to CorporateUnit.groupcn in the compliance database.

It is used (perhaps in conjunction with other properties) as a key for matching existing records there.

However, updates to the stored value of CorporateUnit.groupcn are not permitted.
