Article Properties

To view or edit an article's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Publication

[read-only] Specifies the publication to which the article belongs (see Publications (DMM)).

Name/Code/Comment

Identify the object. The name should clearly convey the object's purpose to non-technical users, while the code, which is used for generating code or scripts, may be abbreviated, and should not normally include spaces. You can optionally add a comment to provide more detailed information about the object. By default the code is generated from the name by applying the naming conventions specified in the model options. To decouple name-code synchronization, click to release the = button to the right of the Code field.

Stereotype

Extends the semantics of the object. You can enter a stereotype directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in an extension file.

Source table

Specifies the source table or view which the article contains. Click the Properties tool to the right of the field to display the source object property sheet.

Remote table

Specifies the remote table or view to which the article will be replicated.

Keywords

Provide a way of loosely grouping objects through tagging. To enter multiple keywords, separate them with commas.

Article Property Sheet Where Clause Tab

The Where Clause tab lets you specify a Where clause to filter the table or view rows to replicate in a script editor.

Where clauses can help maximize application performance by reducing the amount of data replicated or control the availability of data by restricting its replication to specific subscriptions.

For example you could replicate all the data of the French HR department to the US headquarters, and use a Where clause to provide a filtered subset of this data to the Asia office.

Note: Click the Open Auto Completion List tool or press Ctrl+Space to display a list of items and operators available for use in the clause.
