2. Compile the Java source file, as described in “Compiling Metadata.”
3. Test the metadata, and deploy the updated Java class files to the RTID runtime
environment. See “Deploying Metadata” for deployment steps.
To test inbound IDocs, use the Delsert or Disassemble standalone program. To
test outbound IDocs, use the Select standalone program. To test both inbound and
outbound IDocs, use the Reselect program. See “Testing the Metadata” for
information about syntax.
Updating Metadata for a Native Document Definition
After the initial native document definition is created, users users may request changes
such as:
• Adding tables to the document definition, to insert or update additional
information into the database, or to return additional information in a query
•
Removing tables (or removing specific columns from a table) from the document
definition, to simplify the output of a query
•
Mapping internal columns to external columns (for a query) or external columns
to internal columns (for an insert or update)
•
Adding custom enrichments to implement business logic that affects the data
before it is inserted or updated into the database
Refer to the RTID Metadata Language module for detailed information about metadata
constructs.
Changing Existing Metadata
Once you have the mapping information you need, follow these steps to change your
metadata.
1.
Open the Java source file that contains the native document definition. Locate the
record definition (EnrichedRecord, RelatedRecords, DocumentRecord or any of
their subclasses) in the native document definition Java file. Additionally, if the
Java file refers to statically defined record definitions, open the Java source file
that contains the static record definitions. For example, if you wanted to modify
the metadata for the Checkout document definition in the Library example, you
would edit the com\hp\lab\library\Checkout.java file. But to modify the
checkoutItemRecord, you need to open the Java file that defines the static
EnrichedRecord checkoutItemRecord.
2.
To add or remove tables, remove the RelatedRecords (or a subclass of
RelatedRecords) from the native document definition. To make other changes,
add an enrichment to the EnrichedRecord object used in RelatedRecords (or a
subclass of RelatedRecords).
