Integration

Implemented

on 01 Jan 2016

Development Environment 10.0.0.208

The 'import entity wizard' of the integration studio can be enhanced.

The default datatype for Foreign Key Columns is decimal with 0 decimals instead of integer.

It would be far more efficient if the wizards set the datatype to integer if there are 0 decimals.

Further, it would be nice if the wizard sets the primary key as attribute identifier.

This would save a lot of time.

Tricky one.

I though it was mapped to Decimal, because the range of those Oracle-types are larger than the Outsystem-Integer type can hold(?)

Hi Statler&Waldorf,

according to https://www.outsystems.com/help/integrationstudio/8.0/default.htm#Reference/Oracle_Data_Types_to_OutSystems_Data_Types.htm Oracle Number(2,0) up to and including Number(10,0) should be integer.

There are a few other mismatches:
Oracle Date is converted to Outsysystems Date, which is fine to me. But the documentation tells it shoud be converted to DateTime.
