Working with sub-objects and external objects
If you are dragging and dropping identification, types and categories from the Types & Properties panel (in Free definition - Right hand panel) to create your selection criteria in a Set, by default, the CAST Transaction Configuration Center will use the basic All objects matching criterion. This will match all objects with any of the criteria you are using.
With regard to sub-objects and external objects, the default behaviour is as follows:
| Sub-objects | Sub-objects of the matched objects are NOT included:
If you want to include sub-objects: Modify existing criteria in a set
New empty set
Results Either operation above will result in a criterion that includes sub-objects:
|
| External objects | External objects are ALWAYS included. Note that Unknown Cobol copybooks are classed as external objects for transaction configuration purposes: external objects are not transferred to the Dashboard schema unless the object is an associated value of a violation, therefore AEP enhancement transaction details will not show these objects if they are not associated to a violation (because AEP enhancement values only reflect objects that exist in the Dashboard schema). |
Colours
Depending on the combination of options you choose, the Set will change colour as follows (note the background colour and the yellow/grey circular icon in the top left of the criterion):
| Default Set: sub-objects not included, external objects included |  |
| Sub-objects included, external objects included |  |
