<
objectType
>.<
objectName
>
, for example,
PACKAGE.CUSTOMER_READ
. ObjectUid specifies which object's metadata is returned in the

 response.
Use the objectUid MATCH_KEY.
<base_object_name>
 to request the match key of a base object.
For a list of valid object types, see SiperianObjectUID.

  • Obtaining metadata about an object before manipulating it. You can use the
    DescribeSiperianObject
     request to gather information about an object before you perform any operations on it.

Usage Example

The following example shows how metadata is retrieved for the base objects C_PARTY and C_ADDRESS: 
DescribeSiperianObjectRequest request =  new DescribeSiperianObjectRequest();
request.setOrsId("orcl-VER_IDD");
ArrayList objectUids = new ArrayList();
objectUids.add(SiperianObjectType.BASE_OBJECT.makeUid("C_PARTY"));
objectUids.add(SiperianObjectType.BASE_OBJECT.makeUid("C_ADDRESS"));
request.setUids(objectUids);
DescribeSiperianObjectResponse response = (DescribeSiperianObjectResponse)sipClient.process(request);
