Adoption Rules › How Adoption Rules Are Used › Adoption Rules Tables

Adoption Rules Tables

The Adoption Rules appear in two tables, one for selectable objects and the other for non-selectable objects.

• Selectable objects are the aggregate objects on the adoption selection list.
• Non-selectable objects can be adopted only by adopting their parent aggregate object.

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.
