Defining Data Objects
Introducing Data Objects
A FactoryTalk Transaction Manager data object references a specific object
in an enterprise system. For enterprise database connectors, this object can
be a database table, view, or stored procedure. For enterprise application
connectors, objects can be a FactoryTalk Metrics function or a Microsoft
COM+ method. These objects can be used in transactions. A data object may
contain many columns or parameters that are used as a unit. Enterprise
database objects can also include an action (for example, inserting or
updating a record).
Using FactoryTalk Transaction Manager, you can assign the following
attributes to a data object:
 Data object name.
 Enterprise system connection.
 Mode (Insert or Update), if required for tables or views only.
 Database tables, views, or stored procedures.
 Database columns or parameters.
