Documentation

Definition

Indicates if the node key is persistent in the database.

Use

If the same database table is used for several nodes of the same business object (or even several business objects), it is necessary to also persist the node key (recommended as a primary key) to distinguish the data of different nodes when accessing the database.

Dependencies

None.

Example

The HEADER_PARTY and ITEM_PARTY nodes use the same database table in the OUTBOUND_DELIVERY business object.

The DELIVERY_PARTY database table contains the following fields:

• NODE_KEY    (Primary Key)
• DB_KEY    (Primary Key)
• PARTY_ID
• PARTY_NAME
