Object Type Checklist

Table 2-7. Object type configuration checklist provides a configuration consideration checklist to help define your deployment system. See Worksheets for a complete list of object type considerations.

Table 2-7. Object type configuration checklist
Complete	Object Type Check Item	Configuration Consideration
	Define an object type for each type of object to be deployed.	Include creating fields that describe the object and commands required to process it during deployment.
	Fields defined for the object type.	Fields are required to define the object. Make sure that the correct parameters describe the object to be deployed. See Configuring Object Types. See the Commands, Tokens, and Validations Guide and Reference.
	Commands defined for the object type.	All commands needed to process and deploy the object have been constructed. See Configuring Object Types. See the Commands, Tokens, and Validations Guide and Reference.
	Conditions set in commands for the object type.	Conditions to steps within the command that dictate when the specific command steps have run, and that they have also been added. See the Commands, Tokens, and Validations Guide and Reference.
	Is the object type enabled?	Disabled object types cannot be used.
	Object type and workflow.	The following items should be coordinated between the workflow and object type: Decide which workflow steps will run the object type commands. Decide which object type commands to run at specific workflow steps (using command conditions). Workflow step source validations and object type field validations are in agreement. This is required when transitioning based on a field value (using token, SQL or PL/SQL execution types). Allow the object type use for the workflow (set in the workflow window - Deployment Management Settings tab).
	Object types and environments.	Specify any environment overrides that must correspond to the object type commands.
