Article Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open an article property sheet, double-click its Browser entry in the Articles folder. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for articles.

The General tab contains the following properties:

Property	Description
Name	Specifies the name of the item, which should be clear and meaningful, and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users.
Code	Specifies the technical name of the object, which is used for generating code or scripts.
Comment	Specifies a descriptive comment for the object.
Stereotype	Extends the semantics of an object derived from existing objects but specific to your needs. You can enter stereotypes directly in this field, or add stereotypes to the list by specifying them in your model's resource file or in an extended model definition.
Publication	Specifies the publication to which the article belongs.
Source table	Specifies the source table or view to which the article corresponds. 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 corresponds.

Article Property Sheet Columns Tab
This tab lets you create, delete or add a selection of columns taken from the database of the source or remote connection. An article column is a table or view column to replicate.
Article Property Sheet Where Clause Tab
This tab lets you create where clauses in a script editor. A where clause specifies a script that complements the SQL code generation to restrict the rows of a table to replicate. For example, you can replicate only the data of table SALES, which amount is > 1000 $.
Article Property Sheet Event Scripts Tab
This tab lets you select one or more events for an article and specify their corresponding script. An event script allows you to define a script that implements an event on an article. This event script belongs to only one article. The list of available events is taken from the extended model definition used for the parent replication process and changes accordingly. Event scripts also apply to replication processes.
