Every Content Platform Engine object
has a system-assigned, read-only property that is called the OIID
(Object Instance Identifier). This property is a globally unique identifier
that is used to identify and locate an independently persistent object. If
you know the OIID for the object, you can use it, for example, in
a search to find an object that has an object-valued property that
is assigned to it whose value is that object.
About this task
This method is available for the appropriate root classes
and of object-valued properties. Each object reference that you copy
is added to the object paste buffer.
Procedure
To copy an object reference:
- In the administration console, locate the object whose
object reference you want to copy.
- Right-click the object and click Copy Object
Reference. The object reference is added to
the paste buffer where it is saved for later use.
Restriction: Some
items, such as task objects, do not have the Copy Object
Reference menu option available. The object reference
is required in order to create task relationships. If the menu option
is not available, complete the following steps.
- From the Properties tab for the
object, select All Properties.
- From the properties list, click the arrow after the This property
and click Copy Object Reference.
