 Admin Objects & Business Objects

 

In Enovia, there are two types of objects Admin & Business objects. 

Admin Objects are the prerequisite for the business objects.

Admin objects are similar to Class in Java, and Business objects are identical to instances of classes or objects in the java. Admin objects can be created using a Business modulator or MQL.

Business Objects are instances of Admin Objects. In simple words, admin objects are metadata, and business objects are customer data.

Admin objects are categorized into two types: Schema & UI Components.

In Enovia, Schema components are used to define the data model (Meta Data).

UI Components are used to define user interfaces.

There are two types of Vaults in enovia Administrative Vault & Production Vault.

All Admin Objects are stored in Administrative Vault & Business Objects are stored in Production Vault.

Note:- Trigger Business objects are stored in Administrative Vault (Important For Interview Question)
