Get value from attribute on extension

[#1]

I created an new extension. On profile, I created under de Table Metaclass a new boolean attribute.

When I use this new attribute (%D:myExtensionAttribute%) on DBMS Properties\ORA11GR1::Script\Objects\Table\BeforeCreate, I can access the value expected correctly.

When I use this new attribute on DBMS Properties\ORA11GR1::Script\Objects\Reference\BeforeCreate, I can't access the expected value and I got an error: [translation error] unresolved member:

I tried without success:

%D:myExtensionAttribute%

%Table.myExtensionAttribute%

Is there a way to access this value?

Thanks in advance! Best regards!

The answer by Chris is correct, just don`t forget the .D: option, since your extended attribute is defined outside of the definition file. So correct macro should look like this:

%.D:ParentTable.myExtensionAttribute%

%.D:ChildTable.myExtensionAttribute%

HTH,

Thank you Ondrej!!!! Thank you Chris!!! Now it works!!!

I needed to use the ".D:" option. I didn't know that the reference to the table changes depending on the escope. When using on Reference, I needed to use %.D:ChildTable.myExtensionAttribute%. When using on Index, I needed to use %.D:Table.myExtensionAttribute%.

Thank you!

Which end of the reference do you want?

I think you need %ParentTable.myExtensionAttribute% or %ChildTable.myExtensionAttribute%

Hi Chris!

I got this message:

1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

(2) (Reference "TableA_X_TableB"):
  [translation error] unresolved member: myExtensionAttribute

I tried %ParentTable.myExtensionAttribute% also and got the same error as using %Table.myExtensionAttribute% or %PARENT.myExtensionAttribute%.

Tks!
