Documentation
Definition
The update type classifies the matchcodes according to their type and how they are constructed.
If the data in one of the tables contained in a matchcode ID changes, the matchcode records have to be adjusted. The update type defines at what time this adjustment should take place. IDs with different update types can be selected for a matchcode object.
The following update types are currently supported:
- A (asynchronous matchcode structure)
- S (synchronous matchcode structure)
- P (program-controlled matchcode structure)
- I (transparent matchcodes with views and indexes)
- K (matchcode in classification system)
Matchcodes of update types A, S and P are also called physical matchcodes because the matchcode data is implemented here redundantly as its own table in the system.
Matchcodes of update types I and K, on the other hand, are called logical matchcodes because the matchcode records in this case are set up temporarily at the moment of the access to the matchcode.
