Use these pages to find, create, and edit data objects. You define objects to be secured in the Data Security system.

Objects can be tables or views. An object must be queryable in SQL, and the combination of primary key columns specified must be a unique key.

In these pages, objects are described with the following

• The Name is the name that appears in the Object Instance Set and Grants pages. This name should be user-friendly.

• The Code is the internal name of the object.

• The Application Name is the owning application.

• The Database Object Name is the name of the underlying database object.

Use this page to find an existing object.
