Become Familiar with Parents of Non-Selectable Components

Component objects in adoption are selectable if they are aggregate objects for adoption. Otherwise, they are non-selectable. Aggregate objects for adoption appear on the Adoption selection list. Object types that are not aggregates for adoption do not. Attribute, a component of entity type is selectable; batch job, a component of procedure, is not. To adopt an attribute, you would select it directly; to adopt a batch job, you would select the parent procedure.

For a list of objects that can be adopted only if you select the parent object, see Adoption Rules for Non-Selectable Objects in the appendix, "Adoption Rules."
