| # Map operator for public attributes The public attributes of a business object receive their value based on one of the following mappings. Protected Attribute The public attribute is linked to a protected attribute. The protected attribute may belong to the same business object/component as the public attribute or to a related business object/component. If the protected attribute belongs to a related business object/component, the specific business object/component relationship details must be specified. Calculate A public attribute can receive a calculated value. The calculation is always based on protected attributes, linked to table fields of tables that are linked to the business object/component. You must always specify a domain for this mapping. Not Applicable This value indicates that an attribute is not mapped to a protected attribute and not calculated. Use this map operator for values that represent properties of an object that are not stored in a table field. You must always specify a domain for this value. |
